1975 Mercedes 240d 4sp on 2040-cars
Powell, Tennessee, United States
|
As the title says, up for sell is my 240D. I have only had the car for less then a year, but it was well taken care of; service receipts and manuals included. The 4-speed diesel is a blast to drive and vivacious with great fuel economy. This car was running excellent; a dependable daily driver, and completed a 2,000 mile road trip last October. The engine began running rough, stalled, and now it will not start. The oil pressure didn't drop and the temp gauge didn't rise before it stalled. The engine turns over fine and has clean oil and coolant - fuel pressure to all injectors. I do not have a compression gauge, but suspect low compression to be the culprit. I do not have the time to investigate this, so sadly I have to let her go.
The interior is immaculate - minor cracks in the dash and some dirt on the carpet that a steam cleaner would bring out. The color is clear Tiffany Blue in the sun light and White at night, with very little rust for a garage kept '75. As you can see from the photos the passenger side has been hit (previous owner). The solid Mercedes door still shuts perfectly just as all the others. All lights work and accessories function as they should with the exception of the odometer and clock. The speedometer does function! This car is an original, rare 4-speed diesel. With a little work, she could be a mint condition daily driver again. Recent service I've completed on the car: New Michelin Harmony Tires w/ <2,000 miles, New Lower Ball Joints, New Tie rod ends/rods, New Clutch (presser plate/disk/bearing), New Slave Cylinder, New Radiator Hoses, Transmission Flush/Oil Changed, Regular Engine Oil/Filter Changes, Regular Fuel Filter Changes. With the car comes spare parts: 4 Oil Filters, 1 Primary Fuel Filter, 1 Secondary Fuel Filter, 2 Fan Belts, 1 P/S Belt, Tool kit, Factory Jack. Please message me with any questions or if you need a specific photo. Happy Bidding!!! Remember to BRING A TRAILER.
I WILL HELP WITH SHIPPING, BUT I CAN NOT DELIVER! 500 dollars due via PAYPAL within 24 hours of auction end with the balance being due in cash at the time of pick-up. Item must be picked up from Knoxville, TN. Pick-up time is flexible, but within reason. Item is for sell locally. I reserve the right to end the auction early. |

Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.
Mercedes-Benz CLA stars in sweeping short with supermodel Karlie Kloss
Wed, 16 Jan 2013The Mercedes-Benz CLA earned itself a spot on our list of the top five unveils of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and for good reason. The German luxury compact is the first small car from the Silver Arrow that looks suitably premium inside and out. Nowness.com has turned out a new video of the CLA featuring super model Karlie Koss in the lead role. We aren't entirely sure what the premise is, but from what we can tell, it looks as if the CLA comes to life and proceeds to be a giant jerk.
After Koss stops to take a closer look at a white horse, the CLA gives the supermodel the old stop-and-go treatment before leaving her on the side of the road. Eventually, the sedan makes nice, but Koss has to ride shotgun instead of taking the controls herself. You can check out the video below to see for yourself.
2014 Mercedes S-Class priced lower from $92,900*
Mon, 09 Sep 2013The massively overhauled 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class will start at $92,900, not including a $925 destination fee, when it arrives at US dealers in October. That's a 2.8-percent drop over the 2013 S-Class, although Mercedes is fast to point out that a drop in price doesn't equate with a drop in equipment for the executive sedan.
Besides an extra 20 horsepower from the 4.6-liter, biturbocharged V8, the S550 sports a standard panoramic sunroof, keyless start, a rear-view camera and LED headlights, taillights and interior lights. Adding the German manufacturer's 4Matic all-wheel-drive system bumps the S550's price up to $95,900.
If the S550 doesn't quite cut the mustard, you can wait until November, at which point Mercedes will quite happily sell you the new S63 AMG 4Matic for $139,500. Power is also up on the S63, from a max of 563 ponies with an AMG Performance Package to 577 horsepower as standard on the 2014 model.
