1986 Mercedes Benz 300gd G Wagon on 2040-cars
Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States
1986 production Mercedes 300GD Gelandewagen. This Mercedes was just delivered stateside by our supplier in Europe. We have imported many of these and this is easily the best driver. Most of the wagons from this era being advertised both here and abroad have been neglected for many years and/or suffer from serious rust issues. This unit is very nice and has very low mileage. It was cosmetically freshened several years ago and shows very well. The paint is what I would describe as very good, driver quality. The car has been driven and enjoyed so you should expect some typical minor faults. There are a few very small bubbles in several spots but are nothing that need any attention. The interior was updated with a very nice leather and suede seat combo, most of the interior panels and headliner were also done in suede. A carpet kit was fitted at the same time. Later Mercedes alloy wheels along with nearly new Michelin tires keep everything firmly planted on the ground. Mechanically, this Mercedes is exceptional. The 300 series MB diesel engine is one of the most reliable motors ever built with enthusiasts ranging from the ecologically minded bio diesel crowd to hard core off-roaders. Obviously, you aren't going to win any formula one races, but the huge amount of torque generated buy the diesel motor and gearing in the 5 speed box make for a very nice driver. Driving at freeway speeds is not a problem and drama free. Customs has become very strict with grey market imports over the last several years. There are numerous horror stories about cars being seized and destroyed. Lots of sellers will offer vehicles for sale that are still in Europe and leave you holding the bag if there are problems at the port. This Mercedes is already here in NC and has been imported in complete compliance with EPA and DOT regulations, all the import documents and certifications will be provided to the buyer at the time of purchase along with the European title and paperwork. We can assist with having a title issued here in North Carolina or in the state that the vehicle will ultimately reside. A local viewing and inspection is both welcome and encouraged with appointment. We are happy to help with shipping and freight logistics.
***Ebay does not recognize European VIN numbers. The Mercedes is a 1986 production model, not a 1980. |

Mercedes Concept GLA45 AMG is ready to run
Wed, 20 Nov 2013This is the Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA45 AMG, and what we mean by that is, "This is the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG." Mercedes has just unveiled the liveried 'concept' at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, giving potential customers a very good look at the newest lunatic in the AMG asylum - a 355-horsepower, 332-pound-foot crossover that uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in the CLA45 AMG and Europe's A45 AMG.
Joined with a seven-speed, AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission and an AMG Performance 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, Mercedes promises a sub-five-second run to 60 miles per hour. That's not just quick for a crossover, that's quick full stop.
That sleek, lifted body has also been tweaked by the minds at AMG's Affalterbach facility. A new rear spoiler, side sills and front clip are the primary aerodynamic tweaks. Aesthetically, AMG has fitted the requisite "Turbo" badges, gloss-black accents (including exhaust tips and roof rails) and a set of 21-inch, AMG-spec alloy wheels to round out the overall package. Based on the spy shots we've seen, expect slightly toned down aerodynamics when the GLA45 AMG arrives in showrooms.
VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.
X1, 3 Series power BMW back into global luxury autos sales lead
Thu, 14 Mar 2013BMW managed to eke ahead of Audi for the global luxury sales crown in February. According to Bloomberg, BMW saw deliveries swell by 7 percent in February, besting the 3.2 percent jump enjoyed by Audi and giving BMW a 407-unit delivery lead over its rival last month. Mercedes-Benz, meanwhile, continued to falter, with the brand selling some 37,229 fewer machines than BMW, whose factories are running at full capacity to keep up with demand. Models like the X1 (shown above) enjoyed a sales increase of 40 percent in February while the company's bread-and-butter 3 Series jumped by 26 percent.
Mercedes-Benz hopes to stem its continued market share loss with the addition of the entry-level CLA sedan to its portfolio in April. The company is set to roll out an updated version of its cash-cow E-Class at the same time, and a new-generation S-Class will follow along shortly thereafter. Meanwhile, the company is increasing production to meet demand for its A and B-Class models.
