This is a GREAT CAR. Not a perfect car… but a great one.
I've owned and driven this wagon for the last 7 years. I'm selling it because I am now commuting a longer distance and I've bought a 1979 240d for the better mileage.
Mechanically this car is in terrific shape. I've driven a couple other 300tds and this one has more power than either of the others that I have driven… not that it is a muscle car or anything, but it has no trouble keeping up with the fast cars on the interstate. The engine runs great and does not smoke. Starts up great even on the coldest mornings, and consumes very little oil between oil changes.
The transmission was rebuilt about 30k miles ago. It shifts smoothly, and doesn't have the clunks that some of these older wagons develop.
This has been a great car for me an I would love to see it go to a good home.
There are a couple of imperfections that any buyer should be aware of. The sunroof has been sealed closed. I this is because it was leaking, and the head liner above the dash board has some water damage as you can see in the pictures. the rest of the head liner is in decent but not pristine condition. Sometimes when driving in very heavy rain a little drip will get inside. The power door locks aren't working. I'm told this is an easy repair, but I have not done it. Manual door locks have been working fine for me. And there is a rust spot on the roof above the passenger's side door (see pictures). The odometer reads 293,506 miles, but it stopped a couple of years ago. I estimate the car now has about 320,000 miles on it. AC is not working, and I haven't tried to get it fixed, but I'm told the parts are all still there. Heat and defroster work great. Some of the lines of the rear window defroster are not working. Also the rear window wiper is not working. All the fuel lines have been upgraded to run BioDiesel, which the car runs great on. I ran it on ASTM-spec BioDiesel for several years until I started commuting and I need the convenience of gas stations. It has not been converted for Veg-Oil, but certainly could be. The paint has faded in a couple of spots like on the driver's side hood (see pictures). The trailer hitch receptacle and electrical hook up in the pictures has been removed. And finally the Mercedes hood ornament is missing… but everyone will still know you are driving a Mercedes!
This is a truly great vehicle in terrific mechanical shape and decent cosmetic condition with many many more miles on her.

Next Mercedes-Benz GLK to get AMG variant? Not likely...
Fri, 15 Mar 2013If you think Mercedes-Benz will slap an AMG badge on anything with wheels, think again. Word has it the German manufacturer will not offer buyers a performance version of the GLK, with Tobias Moers, director of AMG vehicle development, saying that he doesn't see a market for the car. That's not to say the picture won't change in the near future, however. According to CarAdvice.com, AMG is keeping a close eye on the arrival of the Porsche Macan.
"Maybe there will be a change in the market when the Porsche [Macan] comes up," Moers said, "but right now, no."
The real hitch in the giddy-up seems to be cost. Moers says developing the machine into something worthy of an AMG would represent "a huge investment." We can't exactly argue with that. Fortunately, AMG buyers have plenty of Mercedes-Benz models to choose from.
Mercedes A45 AMG in downhill battle with slipstream skateboarder
Mon, 30 Sep 2013We'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.
Autoblog drives to the Arctic Circle
Fri, 22 Mar 2013In Which Mercedes' Sprinter Becomes A Long-Distance Sherpa
In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
As I am about to nod off on my long leg flight from Minneapolis to Anchorage ahead of driving to the Arctic Circle, the friendly twenty-something Alaskan knitting furiously in the seat next to me pauses and says, "When you're driving up there, don't open your windows." In the dead of winter? I hadn't planned on cruising alfresco, but her warning to keep the glazing snugged against the weatherstripping is one I would take to heart. She continues: "If you leave 'em open, a fox is liable to jump right in. There are lots of rabid foxes up there, and they leap into your car and just Go. To. Town." And here I was, thinking that a curious bear or maybe an ill-placed moose in the road was going to be my biggest potential four-legged threat. In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
