Mercedes 1982 300td Wagon Diesel 300 Td on 2040-cars
Bowling Green, Kentucky, United States
I bought this car a little over two years ago. I have been driving it all over the states of Kentucky and Tennessee on a regular basis and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere in the country. This is a great car. Here is some of the work that I've done on it since I bought the car a couple of years ago. 1 - The front end was rebuilt about one year ago. 2 - tires w/ only about 7k on them 3 - new shocks w/ in last two years 4 - new glow plugs about one month ago 5 - new windshield about one and one-half years ago 6 - two year old battery 7 - The tranny had been rebuilt at some point and looked good when my mechanic opened it up two years ago 8 - no exterior rust that I can see 9 -the heater that you plug-in during cold weather to keep the engine warm when she's parked works great 10 - she runs really well and i've been driving her all over the state for the past two years w/ no breakdowns or major problems 11 - i've kept the oil changed more regularly than I need to and I've taken good care of her. 12 - Vaccum pump replaced two years ago 13 - Replaced front brake pads and back rear rotor and caliper ten months ago 14 - Replaced fuel hose one month ago 15 - Replaced heater climate control motor about five months ago 16 - Valves adjusted two years ago by 17 - All belts replaced two years ago and tightened a couple of months ago Here are the minuses that I can think of: 1 - the tape deck doesn't work 2 - the rubber strip that is on the back bumper is kind-of coming off 3 - the a/c is not currently working. the system has been updated, but it stopped working last summer. May be the compressor but may not. I"m not sure. 4 - the interior is generally in good shape, but the dash is cracked, the wood paneling needs some love and the backs of both front seatbottoms have come unstitched. This can be seen if you squat down next to an open rear door. 5 - The guage that measures RPMs doesn't work. It never has. 6 - the vaccum system for the locks doesn't always work great. I've never had this looked into b/c it didn't really matter that much to me. I can also manually lock all doors if I need to. 9 - Cigarette lighter doesn't work. Never has. I've never looked into it b/c I don't smoke. |

BMW expects China to pass US as its top market in 2013
Thu, 11 Jul 2013When you combine two billion citizens, 100 cities with more than a million inhabitants and an economy that's as unrestrained as Jim Cramer on an Adderall binge, China's explosive auto industry growth shouldn't be a huge surprise. Audi already lists the communist country as its largest market, while Mercedes-Benz is expecting it to be there in the next few years. Now, according to a report from Automotive News, BMW is expecting the People's Republic to overtake the United States in sales by the end of 2013.
We already discovered the extent that BMW is going to in establishing a dedicated Chinese stronghold, when we explored BMW's Shanghai-based DesignWorks studio ahead of April's Shanghai Motor Show. And while we argued that DesignWorks Shanghai hasn't really borne fruit, it isn't due to a lack of sales.
BMW China has seen a 16-percent jump in year-over-year sales, lead by a 28-percent gain in 5 Series sales. Part of BMW's growth strategy comes from an ever-expanding dealership network. Remember those 100 cities we mentioned with over one million people? According to Karsten Engel, CEO of BMW's Chinese operations, those 100-million-plus city dwellers don't have access to a premium dealership.
Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG
Thu, 25 Jul 2013A little over two months ago came reports that Daimler and Aston Martin were in talks, again, about "supply and technical-cooperation agreements." The next step has been taken with Aston Martin announcing that it has signed a Letter of Intent that looks "towards a technical partnership" with Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and the two companies aiming to have definitive agreements done by year's end.
While it will get to use certain electric and electronic components from AMG, the true golden egg for the maker of the Vanquish will be the ability to develop a new line of "bespoke V8 powertrains" that will be fitted to "a new generation of models." In return for opening up the larder, Daimler will get a non-voting stake of up to five percent of Aston Martin.
Nothing else is being said about the tie-up for the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more details.
Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013
Sun, 15 Sep 2013When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.
