In the past 3 years the following maintenance has been completed:
1) New motor mounts
3) 4-new tires
4) Set of new glow plugs
5) Front and Rear flex discs on drivetrain
6) New rear hatch struts
7) Replaced main motor seal
8) New Headlights
9) Front caliper (right). The driver's side (left) needs a new caliper. When I did the job a month ago I was unable to get the new caliper to fit and have not had a chance to replace it. I believe the current caliper is Bendix. There is a little pull to the left when breaking and it sounds like the caliper piston may be sticking.
11) New battery
12) New starter
13) New voltage regulator
14) Repaired faulty plug on block heater (works perfectly now)
This is well over $2500 in parts and service costs alone.
Also in working condition:
Headlights, high beams, turn signals, break lights, fog lights, hazards, front and rear wipers, horn, radio, heater, front and rear defroster, overhead lights, speedometer, tachometer, clock, fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, locks, windows. One of the rear windows does not go down once in a while, I think there is a faulty switch. If you press down hard and wiggle the switch it goes down 1/2 the time. Sunroof is manual.
I changed the oil every 4 months or 3,000 miles whichever came first.
Good filters and diesel grade oil. I will do a complete oil change for the new owner; included in the price. Or put the oil and filters in trunk for you to do the job, which ever you prefer. I also change the inline fuel filter routinely.
Also included:
The Bad:
Air conditioning blowing warm, needs recharged. I believe a new AC compressor was installed 3 to 4 years ago.
I have noticed that the odometer is not tracking mileage. The estimated mileage is around 200,000 o 250,000. The odometer currently reads 188,899.
There is rust on the exterior and around the door jams/frames. See links to videos below that detail the interior and exterior of the car.

2014 Mercedes SL and SLK add small expansion to Takata airbag recall
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Mercedes-Benz is the latest automaker to be affected by Takata's massive airbag recall. The company has announced a voluntary recall campaign on a small number of model-year 2014 SLK- and SL-Class roadsters.
In Mercedes' case, 300 vehicles are affected, 200 of which are in the hands of customers. According to spokesperson Donna Boland, the affected roadsters were built between March and April of this year.
The issue, which is apparently the fault of one of Takata's subcontractors, rests with some improperly installed fasteners, which could keep the airbag from performing the way it's supposed to. According to Boland, Mercedes isn't sure what, if any, injuries the recalled airbags could cause, but simply claims there's an increased risk in these particular vehicles. There's been no reported instances of the faulty airbags deploying on a customer and the original issue was found in a production test.
Is Audi getting complacent and suffering from brain drain?
Wed, 27 Nov 2013The 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.
New Die Hard movie wrecked 132 cars in $11 million chase scene [w/video]
Sat, 16 Feb 2013It would seem the act of dying hard brings with it lots of wanton destruction of the four-wheeled kind. According to John Moore, director of A Good Day To Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again. Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there... That's the fun of it."
Please join us in one great big collective sigh. Done? Okay, let's continue.
"With Die Hard it's about how audacious the action is," says Moore. "So you have to drive over a Lamborghini. An actual one. And yes it hurts me. I'm a car fanatic." Yeah. Sounds like it hurt really bad... though not as bad as the final tally after all the carnage had been counted: "Someone showed me the numbers on the car chase and soup to nuts, you put it all together it was like an $11 million sequence."
