1987 Mercedes Benz 300sdl on 2040-cars
San Antonio, Texas, United States
|
This car has been my daily driver and I have loved driving her. I want to realize my goal / dream of restoring and enjoying a classic Volkswagen and the Mercedes is taking up space and time. That being said, here are the good and the bad:
Good: - Strong turbo diesel engine. Just hit 350,000 a couple months back and still going strong. - I am getting between 21-25 miles per gallon. With a 20 gallon tank I am getting between 450 and 500 miles per tank. - AC blows cold (necessary in San Antonio) - All windows work - Sunroof works - Power antenna works (i fixed it) - Power seats all work - Carpets are in great condition - Clear Title - Original Owner's manual - Has original first aid kit - probably not usable, but cool to have - Full size spare tire - Original jack & wheel wrench - Wind-shield wipers work (I put new wipers on in May, wiper blades don't last long in the San Antonio heat) - Wind-shield washers work (I cleaned out the sprayers and all four work) - No cracks in windshield - Speedometer works - Odometer works - Oil gauge works - Temperature gauge works - Gas gauge works - All lights work - Parking brake works (I had it fixed last year) - Heat works - Defrost works - Radio works - Door, trunk locks work - Charging system works - Battery is strong - Turn signals work - Floor is solid - Brakes are in good condition, brake sensor light flickers. I have been told that it is a sensor issue, so I have procrastinated checking it out. - Power steering works - Transmission shifts smoothly and at correct RPM - Exhaust system passes inspection every year - No collision damage Bad: - engine has a slow oil drip. I have had it checked and was told that with so many miles on the engine it is bound to drip. I have done regular oil changes and kept the oil level good and have had no issues, other than some drips on the driveway. - interior shows wear and tear; front seats have tears (I have taped them with brown tape as seen in pictures) - paint has bubbled in a couple areas (on trunk and hood) - No Repair manual Included in this sale is an identical car that has been wrecked. Same year, same exterior color, same interior color. Engine in wreck runs and has only 229,000 miles on it. Head casting from cylinder heads of both vehicles is 603 016 14 01. I will provide photos and more information on wreck upon request. Contact me for more information. Winner of this auction gets BOTH cars! Deposit of $500 is due through paypal within 2 days of winning the auction. Shipment of vehicles is responsibility of buyer. I am flexible as to when the cars need to be taken; if you need some time to get things straightened out with shipping, that is ok as long as I have the deposit. I'm sure there are things, both good and bad, that I am forgetting. If you have any questions, please ask! |

2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG rumbles on stage 4Matic style
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Bruce Hornsby and his soothing piano skills helped introduce us to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but the monstrous E63 AMG sedan needed no entrance music as it rumbled on stage. The 550-horsepower (and up) sedan sat proudly alongside the rest of the redesigned E-Class on stage at the Detroit Auto Show, but stood miles apart in intention and execution.
In addition to a choice of sedan and wagon body styles, the E63 AMG will also offer buyers the choice of the standard 550 hp or an upgraded 577-hp S-Model; regardless of output, all 2014 E63 AMG models will come standard with the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system.
We already saw the E63 AMG's aggressive styling last week, but now we have a full assortment of live images for you to enjoy as well as the Mercedes-Benz press release, which is also posted below.
2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 Sport
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Mercedes Makes A Mighty Little Sedan
We got overexcited when the W203 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan came out in 2001, calling it the "Baby Benz" when it really wasn't. We knew that, too, but our enthusiasm for a model more like the old 190 of the '80s was so strong that we were willing to stretch the first-gen C-Class to fit that mold. Today, the C-Class has done what all German premium cars do: grown in size. In this case, grown to satisfy the market intentions of the previous E-Class.
There was the tall A-Class sold from 1998 through 2010, but we never considered that a serious small Benz in the proper spirit, nor was it ever offered in the US. Regardless, we've been craving a smaller, premium, sexy sedan all the while.
Boston bombers were tracked using Mercedes mbrace [w/video]
Sun, 28 Apr 2013We now know Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the two brothers said to be behind the Boston Marathon bombings, planned to head for New York City to detonate more improvised explosive devices. As it turns out, that plan was foiled by the quick thinking of one Mercedes-Benz owner, diligent police work and the Mercedes-Benz mbrace system. When the brothers carjacked a 26-year-old Chinese entrepreneur identified only as "Danny," they didn't realize his Mercedes-Benz M-Class was equipped with the mbrace system, which can call for help in the event of an accident or track the vehicle in the event of a theft.
According to reports, the Tsarnaev brothers held Danny hostage for nearly 90 minutes while they drove around Boston forming a plan until they had to stop for fuel. When one of the brothers went inside to pay, the other put his gun down for a moment. Danny took the opportunity to unlatch his seat belt, open the door and run to another nearby gas station, where he told the owner to call the police.
When police arrived, they used the mbrace system to track the SUV after receiving Danny's permission, and it wasn't long before a shootout between police and the brothers ensued. When it was over, the eldest brother lay dead in the street. For more on the story, view the video report available below.
