Up for sale is my 1982 Mercedes Benz 300 TD. I bought this car back in August 2012, the car had some minor front driver side damage that needed to be addressed. Before purchasing I immediately took the car to a body/frame repair shop for inspection, after they gave me the all clear that there was not any frame damage I bought the car. Once I had the car I began working on the car here is a list of all the new and used parts that were put on the car: Hood, Fender, Headlights, Fog lights, Headlight plastics, AC condenser, Auxiliary Fan, Auxiliary Fan Shroud, New Radiator, Chrome Grill Ring, Mercedes Emblem and New Grill Insert. 


After body work was complete there were a few other repairs made to get the windows working, turn signals working, and emergency flashers working. All of which were an easy fix because these Mercedes are really easy to work on. Parts to fix those included a new emergency flasher switch, and new turn signal/ wiper controller. When I bought the car it didn't have a radio and I never put one in however it looks like all the wires are there. Then the carpet and interior was taken out and deep cleaned, all of it cleaned up very well as you can see by the pictures. 

All the engine needed was new fluids, valve adjustment, and it was ready to go! I drove the car back and forth from work on a daily basis and never had any issues. The car is originally from Arizona and literally has no rust to my knowledge. The car's rims were taken off and painted, then the tires were mounted and balanced. The tires have plenty of life left in them and have no issues with holding air. 

The car could use a new windshield since the one on it is cracked. The power locks on the car do not work, but I believe I have that problem narrowed down to a leaky air valve in the drivers door panel. The back passenger window does not work, not sure why since it did work before?? Cruise control has never worked however I believe that is known to be a big problem with these cars, plus I never needed it so I never looked into what the problem might be, could be an easy fix don't know for sure. The AC has never been recharged since I replaced the AC condenser (never tried since its winter and did not need the AC). Heater works great and everything else is working on the car. 

The car gets great gas mileage (30+mpg) and runs very smooth. The suspicion is great and the seats are very comfortable. The interior is in amazing condition as you can see by the pictures, although the dash does have some cracking on the very top and the armrest in the front has some cracking. If you have any questions about the car please let me know will be happy to answer before bidding. Please give me a call on my cell at 479-466-2803 between 9am-9pm cst. Also if there are any other pictures you would like please let me know and I will try to get them to you in a timely manner. Happy bidding!!! Thanks Andrew

Please note this car is listed locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early due to local sale. Thanks!

Missouri Mercedes dealer offering free Smart with every SLS AMG purchase

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT is an exquisite sports car that probably needs no help flying off dealer lots, even with a starting price of almost $200,000, but Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City has come up with an interesting incentive to sweeten the deal. For buyers who purchase a new SLS AMG from dealer stock before the end of the year, the dealership is throwing in a new Smart Fortwo from its inventory at no charge... with a required coupon no less.
In addition to being a great tactic to get a little free press, the spare car also makes sense as an alternative to the SLS, which measures more than 15-feet long - almost twice the length of a Fortwo - and has a 563-horsepower engine that sucks down gas at the rate of 13 miles per gallon in city driving (and even that's provided you don't give in to the devil on your shoulder). Plus, at the end of the day, this really isn't that big of an incentive. Being given a slow-selling $12,490 car for the purchase of a model starting at $199,500 represents about a six percent incentive, which is along the lines of a $1,900 rebate for a $30,000 car.
To get the free Smart, just visit the Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City Facebook page, redeem the coupon and then go buy yourself a new SLS AMG. Congratulations!

Is Audi getting complacent and suffering from brain drain?

Wed, 27 Nov 2013

The argument is made in a Reuters article: Audi is falling behind other luxury brands, such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, due to a lack of research-and-development spending and "brain drain," or the migration of top executives and R&D chiefs to other parts of the Volkswagen Group. Reuters notes that Audi's current R&D chief is the third in 16 months.
Audi, which contributed to 40 percent of VW Group's $11.6 billion in profit the first nine months of the year, is delivering cars at a record pace: 1.31 million were delivered from January to October 2013 versus BMW's 1.35 million. Yet Audi, Reuters reports, doesn't have a halo car akin to BMW's new electrified i3 and i8 or an answer to Mercedes' plug-in-hybrid S-Class, and the R&D spending at Audi is less than BMW and Mercedes by a fair margin. It's noted in the article, however, that Audi benefits from other R&D spending within VW Group.
Reuters mentions that BMW "trumpets its new 'i' series" and the new Mercedes CLA and GLA ranges are winning "rave reviews" as part of its argument that Audi's recent lack of technological innovation could hurt future sales. Those cars do pack tons of new technology, some of which are firsts for mainstream production cars. But last time we checked, the i3 could be causing BMW's stock to slide, the CLA isn't receiving the rave reviews that Reuters would have you believe and the GLA hasn't been reviewed yet.

Mercedes-Benz killing Maybach in 2013, replacing with S600 Pullman

Fri, 25 Nov 2011

According to an unnamed Mercedes-Benz source speaking with AutoWeek, the German automaker is killing off its Maybach line in 2013.
The unsurprising news comes after the brand was resurrected in 2002, but failed to meet sales expectations with its two core models, the Maybach 57 and 62. Further solidifying its fate, a deal with Aston Martin to aid in the development of future Maybachs fell through earlier this year.
According to the AutoWeek insider, the plan is to continue to sell both Maybach models through the end of 2013, after which the fifth-generation S-Class will go on sale. When that happens, three new variants of the S-Class will be available, including an all-new, range-topping S600 that brings back the Pullman moniker and may be better suited to competing with the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce.
