US $4,500.00
Year:1984 Mileage:280000
Location:

    NO RESERVE AUCTION. I WILL DELIVER ANYWHERE IN THE USA IF YOU BUY IT NOW. 

    Selling my excellent example of an early 300 turbo diesel coupe. The coupes are getting harder and harder to find in good shape, they made a very limited number of them compared to the sedans and wagons. This car has only had two owners and has been very well taken care of. I love this car and it is hard for me to let it go but I am afraid I don't have the room in my garage for it anymore.

     It runs and drives excellently, will start easy on the coldest of mornings. The transmission fluid has just been changed and it shifts smooth. All the lights work, and all the power options work with the exception of the passenger window, which will roll down but needs a little help to roll back up. I believe the mechanism needs to be lubricated. 

     The interior is an 8/10, it is complete, clean, and in excellent shape. The seats have minor cracking but in general the leather is still soft and smooth. I have to be honest, this car was smoked in by the original owner, but not by me. The smell is still noticeable but I will have the car shampooed and ozonated before delivery. 

     The body is also an 8/10. The paint is mint, there are no dings or dents or scratches. There is an area of surface rust near the seam to the side of the drivers side tail light. The trunk, undercarriage, floorpans, battery tray etc are rust free.

     The wheels are in good condition and come with a set of nearly new studded snow tires on them ( a necessity on a rwd car in utah) and also a set of summer tires with at least 50% tread left. 

     The car is quiet, smooth and powerful. It cruises at 100mph as easily as it does 30. It is an extremely nice car to drive. The motor seeps some oil but does not burn any. I would not hesitate to get in this car and drive it coast to coast. It has some vibration at idle, and it may need a passenger side motor mount, or it may be just a diesel thing, I've never owned another so I have no point of reference. It had the timing done about 1 year ago. I have every dealer maintenance record until almost 200,000 miles, and many service records from 200k till 280. 

     I know this is my first sale on ebay, so please contact me if you feel uncomfortable in any way. You are free to message me, text me or call me at any time! I can provide more pictures and videos upon request. 

PAYMENT: Cashiers Check will be the only method of payment I will be accepting. I will also take cash in person locally. I am not requiring a deposit, but all I can ask is that you DO NOT BID if you are not a serious buyer. There are bidders out there who genuinely want the car, so please let them have a fair auction for it.

SHIPPING: Shipping is up to you, but you are more than welcome to contact me to arrange delivery by me. I can deliver it to you cheaper than a shipping company if you live in the western states. Also, please keep in mind that I will deliver it any where in the country if you use the buy it now price! The car has a clean clear utah title in hand ready to sell.

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE DESCRIPTION BEFORE BIDDING. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CONTACT ME ANY TIME AT 801-709-4666 OR MESSAGE ME THROUGH EBAY.

Does Alex Rodriguez' Mercedes dealership have a PR problem?

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Alex Rodriguez, in case you haven't heard, is seemingly the new Most Hated Man In Baseball, ostensibly replacing commissioner Bud Selig (for now). Rodriguez was slammed with a 211-game suspension due to his role in the MLB's latest steroid scandal in which "A-Roid," as fans have taken to calling the former superstar, was cited with steroid use and attempts to hide his involvement by "engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate" the investigation, according to the MLB's official report.
Why is this on a car site, then? Because Rodriguez' name is attached Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz in League City, TX. An Ad Age report cites Mercedes-Benz USA in saying that A-Rod owns "about half'" of the dealership. Mercedes, for what it's worth, isn't going to any to any lengths to distance itself from its dealership or its controversial namesake, saying, "We never promoted the fact that A-Rod owned a dealership, so there's really nothing to 'distance' ourselves from. And since his activity is not illegal but rather prohibited by MLB, there's nothing actionable here."
With the scandal still a fresh piece of news and A-Rod's pending appeal, it's difficult to tell what sort of effect, if any, his name will have on the dealership's sales. Ad Age contacted the GM of Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz to get the dealership's view, but no calls were returned. According to Mercedes, any name change is up to Rodriguez and his partner(s) at the dealership. Somehow, though, we think A-Rod has other things to worry about beyond his dealership's name.

Highlights from the Goodwood Festival of Speed, including the McLaren P1 and a Ford Transit running the hill

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

The sole purpose of this post is as a time-waster, and since you shouldn't have to work to waste time, we've done it for you. In the numerous videos below you'll find cars that have lately been in the news tramping all over the grounds of Lord March's estate in Goodwood, England.
There's the McLaren P1 heading up the hill, the Jaguar Project 7, then a casually-driven Porsche 917 followed by an even-more-casually-driven Porsche 956, topped off by a Porsche 936 that is anything but casually driven. The next round is the flame-spitting Peugeot 405 T16 Pikes Peak from Climb Dance, a camera mounted on the Peugeot RCZ R after it showing you what the whole, uninterrupted run up the hill looks like. For a real head-turner, we couldn't embed it but there's Andy Reid blasting up the hill in a Ford Transit Supervan with a Cosworth 3000 V6 engine.
The modern racing contingent has Allan McNish doing the hill in the Audi R18 e-tron quattro he used to win Le Mans and Lewis Hamilton making lots of tire smoke in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas MGP-W02. For comparison, that's followed by Nick Heidfeld's record-setting run up the hill in 1999 in the McLaren MP4/14 . The classic racing contingent is headlined by 71-year-old Giacomo Agostini on an MV Agusta.

Mercedes A45 AMG in downhill battle with slipstream skateboarder

Mon, 30 Sep 2013

We're told it takes "performance, control and expression" to pilot a longboard skateboard down a mountain road, and that those happen to be the same values embodied in the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG. That's how the two came to be combined in a black-and-white short film called Silver Slipstream.
There's no talking, no engine note and no color, just some music, a 'boarder and a car on a long cruise down the Franschhoek Pass in the Western Cape of South Africa." Despite that, it's actually a pretty entertaining video of the latest Mercedes-Benz hot hatch married with extreme sports. You can watch how it all goes down in the video below.
