1983 Mercedes-benz 300d Base 4-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, United States

This car has seen a lot of work in the past. It was close to showroom condition. In the last 3 years however it's been used as a daily driver and parked outside. A few problems are known and I would like to do my best to describe them: 1 The biggest problem is an area under the drivers seat has rusted out some. It's still safe to sit on but the floor is sagging some and it's visible from the outside. 2 There is a relatively minor cracked section on the front grill. This was a result of trying to open the hood on a cold day. We still have the piece. 3. A whistling sound exists while the car is running...until it fully warms up. We think it's a break in the vacuum system that is used in the auto door locks. The door locks work much better when it's warm. 4. Some dents do exist. One on the back right corner is most noticeable. I hope the photos do it justice. 5. The antenna is entirely missing off the back. This is one of the details I hope the photos capture. 6. A possible heat/thermostat issue makes the heat stay full on or full off. We really don't know what's going on with it but I imagine it's a simple fix. The work that's been done in the past is quite extensive. The entire Upholstery was redone with new leather and cushioning. It was kept as the pride and joy of a collection of multiple Mercedes's from the 80's. This was the last one the previous owner was willing to sell before he moved to Los Vegas. It's not uncommon to get 500,000 miles on one of these. You can expect a solid 24 mpg, but I've heard it's possible to get over 30. The electric sunroof is nice and smooth. The engineer runs great of course. Mechanically this is quite sound. The ride is great...very smooth with smooth shifting. It's a dream to ride. Please rely on the photos for the specifics. The Ebay item details may be off...but I'll do my best t make them accurate. Feel free to ask questions. I am willing to show it to any locals interested. |

Volvo S60 Polestar concept plays in the snow with Mercedes C63 AMG
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Chris Harris took to a snowy stretch of tarmac to get a fingertips-on-the-wheel feel of the Volvo S60 Polestar concept. Harris says the turbocharged sedan with 508 horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque - and a manual transmission - is "a study to see if Volvo can get back into the fast-car market." The Polestar S60 concept, one of which was already purchased for $300,000 by a private buyer, is still making the publicity rounds because even Volvo's Chinese owners realize that, as Harris says, "Volvo sold more cars because it made fast cars" like the old 850 T5 Wagon that stormed the British Touring Car Championship in the 1990s.
For reference, Harris compares the blue wonder to the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and its 487 hp and 442 lb-ft. The question is, were Volvo to get the price of a production version of the S60 Polestar to climb way down from its 200,000-pound sticker, could it be worthy competition to the established giants?
You can watch Harris divine the answer via a lot of drifting through the snow and a drag race in the video below.
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.
Mercedes-Benz killing Maybach in 2013, replacing with S600 Pullman
Fri, 25 Nov 2011According to an unnamed Mercedes-Benz source speaking with AutoWeek, the German automaker is killing off its Maybach line in 2013.
The unsurprising news comes after the brand was resurrected in 2002, but failed to meet sales expectations with its two core models, the Maybach 57 and 62. Further solidifying its fate, a deal with Aston Martin to aid in the development of future Maybachs fell through earlier this year.
According to the AutoWeek insider, the plan is to continue to sell both Maybach models through the end of 2013, after which the fifth-generation S-Class will go on sale. When that happens, three new variants of the S-Class will be available, including an all-new, range-topping S600 that brings back the Pullman moniker and may be better suited to competing with the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce.
