1981 Mercedes-benz 300td Touring - Excellent Condition, Very Clean Car on 2040-cars
Downey, California, United States
|
Selling a 1981 Mercedes-Benz 300TD in fantastic mechanical and cosmetic condition. Starts instantly, runs and drives beautifully. Transmission doesn't shift harshly like on so many other diesel Mercedes of this era, instead it's very smooth. Turbo spools nicely and makes very decent power. Options like Cruise Control and Power Door locks work perfectly. Seats show almost no signs of wear at all, and are soft and supportive, not hardened or faded AT ALL, no sagging springs either. The floor carpet was removed and replaced with rubber mats for durability. Trunk area carpet is still intact and in very good condition. I have the spare tire cover (not pictured) Has one oil stain, that would probably come out with some scrubbing. Blaupunkt Portland stereo installed and working.
Exterior is in very very clean and tidy condition for an original car of this age. Has one small dent above the tail light, and some scratches here and there, but nothing major, and no structural rust AT ALL. Not even the jack points are rusty. Always a California car, spent it's life in Montecito. Rear hydraulic self-leveling suspension works fine, doesn't sag or bounce. Original Hirschmann antenna still works but seems to need a new mast. Still wears it's blue and yellow original CA plates, and Mercedes-Benz of Beverly Hills license plate frame. Brakes and tires still have a good amount of life left in them. Great reliable car, would not hesitate to drive it cross country. The only issues it has, are that the driver's side window is stuck closed, and the A/C system needs to be recharged (verified, has an R134a retrofit notice sticker). No other issues. Clean title. I do have service records for the car, it has had thousands worth of work done in the last 10 years or so. Please don't hesitate to call me with any questions you might have prior to bidding.

2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec gets 33 mpg, priced from $38,950*
Tue, 30 Apr 2013It's been more than a year since we first saw the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec unveiled at the 2012 New York Auto Show, but it looks like the compact diesel crossover is finally starting to roll into dealerships. Those wanting to buy a diesel GLK will only have to pony up an extra $1,500 over a base, gas-powered GLK350, as the GLK250's starting price is listed at $38,590 (*not including $905 destination charge).
The turbocharged 2.1-liter four-cylinder diesel produces 200 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and Mercedes-Benz has also provided some fuel economy numbers for this model, with claimed EPA estimates of 24 miles per gallon city and 33 mpg highway. There is no listing for the GLK250 on the EPA's website yet, but the figures represent significant increase over the GLK350's lackluster 19 mpg city and 25 mpg highway figures, which are for the rear-wheel drive model. The GLK250 comes standard with the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system - a $2,000 option on GLK350 - meaning that if you want an all-wheel-drive version of the 2013 GLK, it's actually cheaper to opt for the diesel model. Head over to the Mercedes-Benz site for the full 2013 GLK-Class configurator.
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.
2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Make way for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, the most wonderfully preposterous car I have ever driven.
There is absolutely no reason why any two-seat roadster should be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 developing 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, but I sure am glad that Mercedes-Benz doesn't see things that way.
Drop into the leather-lined cockpit of this $213,145 provocateur, floor the accelerator pedal as I did over and over again, and 60 miles per hour falls in a traction-limited 3.9 seconds. Top speed has been electronically held to 186 mph (this apparently saves Gulfstream jet owners from embarrassment). Forget the SL550 and SL63 AMG, the valets will trip over themselves attending to the tycoon driving this thoroughbred - it's the real deal.
