This auction is for a 1981 Mercedes Benz 240D, four door sedan. It really is a 1981 but ebay would not recognize the VIN from the title (which matches the car) so it may also shown as a 1980. It has been converted to a two tank veg oil system and it has been my daily driver for several years. I love it but it is time to move on due to health concerns. I purchased it in 2008 with 102,040 miles and a loose rod bearing. The engine was professionally reworked, new cylinder liners etc. etc. to the tune of around $3000. It currently IS NOT RUNNING due to air getting in the fuel line. After bleeding the lines it will run for a few minutes with normal power then start surging and die. My garage / workshop space is being sold and my disabled vet thing is acting up to where I am forced to make some major changes.
The ball joints have been replaced with U.S. made parts (not P.O.S. china junk) very recent brake job including; all four calipers, brake hoses, and assorted wheel bearings, glow plugs, and so on. Tires are in the 80% range. I purchased it in Alabama in 2008 so it is still very solid overall with only some surface rust. It was undercoated prior to my buying it. There are some spares that go with it; filters, weatherstrip, etc. There is also a spare engine that is available separately. This vehicle will have to be moved via trailer or tow dolly. It has an AM-FM-CD player and does not currently have a battery.
I prefer not to use paypal on this. Any kind of check is fine but ANY check or MONEY ORDER WILL BE HELD for ten business days. Cash at pick up is fine too. Please don't bid if you are not going to follow through at auction end. I am located about an hour East of Columbus, Ohio. Daytime phone: 740 754 1217 Eve phone: 740 588 0459

Watch this perfectly nice Mercedes get crushed by a front-end loader
Mon, 25 Mar 2013In a world where the YouTube hoax continues to thrive, it's hard to know what to think of this little vid, but here are the facts as we know them: a coupe that looks like a first-generation Mercedes-Benz CLK gets crushed by a giant front-end loader. There you have it.
Our questions arise in the aftermath - we know industrial resource machinery is heavy, but the Benz gets squashed so flat we wonder if someone's trying to play a joke on us. We hear that the white coupe may have been the heavy-equipment operator's foreman's car, but who knows? The on-camera interview seems awfully conveniently placed, yes? See for yourself in the video below and then leave us your thoughts in Comments.
Daimler employees can set email to auto-delete during vacation
Mon, 18 Aug 2014The Internet has shrunk the world in terms of the way people communicate by making it possible to send an email from Oslo and have it show up in Cleveland almost immediately. But that instant contact has wrecked the work/life balance for many. They get home from a long day at the office, yet they can never fully put their feet up and relax because another hour or more of checking and replying to emails awaits. However, German automotive giant Daimler is putting an end to that churn, at least while its employees are on vacation.
About 100,000 Daimler employees in Germany are eligible to opt-in to a new program called Mail on Holiday, according to The Atlantic. When the workers go on vacation, they can switch it on, and the service auto-deletes all of their incoming email. "Our employees should relax on holiday and not read work-related emails," said Wilfried Porth, board member for human resources, to The Financial Times as cited by The Atlantic.
Mail on Holiday puts a thumb on the scale of work/life balance in favor of a little more free time. The system means that Daimler employees shouldn't even be tempted to check their email on vacation because there's nothing there - and it also avoids them coming back from a relaxing holiday only to find a mailbox packed full of hundreds of unread messages. These days, people are absolutely obsessed with their work, often to the detriment of their health, not to mention spending time with their families and friends. On one hand, Mail on Holiday sounds like the sort of vacation breakthrough we'd need to truly unplug and unwind, but on the other hand, it makes our skin crawl just thinking about the lack of communication.

Mercedes to roll out S65 AMG Coupe in July
Mon, 07 Apr 2014We're still a couple of weeks away from the public debut of the new Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe at the fast-approaching New York Auto Show, but already we're receiving word of an even more powerful version in the works. That, of course, would be the S65 AMG Coupe - the twelve-cylinder version of the latest S-Class Coupe, two-door counterpart to the S65 AMG sedan and replacement for the outgoing CL65 AMG.
Like the four-door version rolled out back in November, the S65 AMG Coupe would be distinguished from less powerful vehicles (which, lets face it, is just about everything) principally by its engine: a massive, 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 that produces 621 horsepower, 738 pound-feet of torque and cares as much about global warming as an oil-shipping mega-tanker.
Because Merc's 4Matic all-wheel drive system can't handle that much torque, the ne plus ultra coupe would (like the S65 sedan but unlike the S63 coupe) be offered only in rear-drive form. That means it will have that much more trouble getting the power down to the road, but since the Magic Body Control suspension is similarly incompatible with 4Matic, the flagship coupe will get that trick suspension.
