Model year 1980 (1979 build) 300SD. I have had the car for 5 years and put over 40,000 very reliable miles on it, it currently has 237,000 miles. It is a blue plate CA car. I am the second private owner (it was owned by a Palisades man whose widow left the car to German Auto Technik in Santa Monica who used the car as a customer delivery car - I bought it from Guntram (the owner of Auto Technik) when they closed down, they serviced my Porsche. The car is a very good driver and looks nice and unlike of other SD's is not some poor old sod on its last legs after years of neglect (trying to be honest vs. a huckster). I have used it for long drives and short commutes. It was just serviced with new brake fluid, coolant, air filter, oil and filter. In the last 30,000 miles I have had the following done: new climate control system (blows cold and acts as true climate control, i.e. it follows the temp you set), new a/c compressor, four new Bilstein shock absorbers, all new glow plugs, new belts, new battery, new water pump, new vacuum pump, new coil (the diesel equivalent), rebuilt and resealed differential, new brakes, new windscreen, and much more. I have all the bills for the work I have had done (totaling $12,141.00). I have all the extra keys, tool kit and the books. Issues: drivers seat is worn but not torn, cruise control is iffy, small vacuum leak that means sometimes one door will not lock right away and after starting need about 10 seconds for doors locks to come up, some very faint light paint blemishes. Always garaged. I live on the westside of LA.
I like the car and am not needing to sell just interested in getting something different. Will consider this as partial trade (very small :->) for SL 230/250/280 or BMW 2002 or Volvo 1800 or Alfa Romeo GTV. If I sell it I will donate money to animal charities I support. Thank you.

Mercedes-Benz killing Maybach in 2013, replacing with S600 Pullman

Fri, 25 Nov 2011

According 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.

Mercedes making aggressive plans for Chinese market

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

Mercedes-Benz is preparing a major product offensive to counteract lagging sales in the Chinese market, aiming 20 new or updated models at the People's Republic in the next two years, according to a report by Reuters. The plan is part of MB's so-called 2020 Initiative, which will see the Stuttgart-based manufacturer dump 2 billion Euros ($2.67 billion) into its Chinese market vehicles in a bid to boost sales to 300,000 units by 2015.
Were it to succeed, China would become the largest market for the Silver Arrow, outpacing Germany and the United States. Leading the charge will be the redesigned E-Class, which is set to launch in China this week. That will quickly be followed by the S-Class, and eventually by the GLA-Class in 2014.
Mercedes has struggled in China, especially relative to its German competition, BMW and Audi. Where Mercedes saw a mere four-percent increase in 2012 sales to 206,150 units, Audi was up a staggering 32 percent, while BMW's numbers jumped 41 percent. While some voices, according to Reuters, accuse Munich and Ingolstadt of boosting their numbers through hefty incentives, the fact remains that Mercedes was just walloped by its competitors last year.
