1982 Mercedes 240d on 2040-cars
Corvallis, Oregon, United States
|
Okay quick synopsis: The car runs and drive down the road and I’m using it as a daily driver. But it has some problems:
The bad: Left cv axle needs replaced (boot torn) Rear windshield leaks, front windshield leaked but was successfully stopped with silicone Transmission likes to pop out of 1st and 3rd gear. 4th gear works fine. 2nd is okay Cycle glow plugs twice for faster startups. Engine does burn/leak oil a bit. Replaced oil pan seal about a year ago Driver seat could use some repairs, it has tears in the leather. Sunroof doesn’t work, it is siliconed sealed. No leaks I lost my keys for the car. I only have the ignition key now. The other keys were different, so you’ll probably have to get new locks that go with the VIN number. The car came with three different keys and I think it should only have one. Maybe two if you had the valet key. The ignition key might be original with the VIN don’t know. I took off the inside trunk latch mechanism so the trunk is accessible but still held down internally by a bungy cord. Right rear brakes seems to be hanging up. I replaced the brakes, calipers, rotors on all for and still likes to hang up sometimes. Might be the parking brake system giving me some grief. No instrument lights Has good spare tire and jack, but for some reason I can’t find the lug nut wrench. I’m tossing in a 1/2 torque wrench to use just bring your 11/16 socket =) A/C equipped, quit working about a year ago Cruise Control equipped, doesn’t work Missing wood trim around the fresh air vent slider control Wood trim on glove box needs to be re glued back onto box door. Flops around.
The good: Tires are 1 year old. Les Schwab brand Manual windows (for some its good) New tie rods, new front shocks (bilsteins) Les Schwab tire chains Replaced all brake calipers, all rotors, all pads, and master cylinder. Replaced slave cylinder for clutch Replaced both flex discs about a year ago Fog lights work New drive belts Battery a few months old Leather is mostly in very good condition Dashboard is only slightly cracked
I hope this list will give you an idea of what you might be
in for. If your close to Corvallis we can arrange pickup maybe during the week
evening time, Sunday works best Saturday 2nd best. If your farther away or out of state Sundays would be best, Saturday 2nd best. Sold as is. Its my daily driver so odometer mileage subject to change. Thanks for reading all of this! |

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.
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-AMG considering turbo fours, hybrid sixes for future performance sedans
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Think of the letters AMG and you'll probably end up picturing a performance sedan with a big V8. Such has become, after all, the Mercedes turning division's calling card. But with the introduction of its 2.0-liter turbo four, AMG is working at turning that notion on its head.
The highly potent engine produces 355 horsepower and is presently installed in the A45 AMG hatchback, CLA45 AMG sedan and GLA45 AMG crossover, giving Benz's smallest family a full range of performance models. But that might not be the full extent of the high-strung four-pot's use.
Speaking with AMG boss Tobias Moers, Britain's What Car? magazine reports that Affalterbach is considering slotting the same engine into larger models, particularly performance sedans like the C-Class. As we recently reported, Mercedes is already preparing to up the power from the turbo V6 in the C400 to slot a C450 Sport in below the C63 AMG. The C450 is expected to offer around 367 horsepower where the CLA45 AMG et al pack 355, but the lighter weight of the four-cylinder engine would likely offset the truancy of those extra dozen horses. Of course such a prospect would be much further down the pipeline than the C450 Sport which is expected to arrive much sooner.
