1982 Mercedes 300sd Turbo Diesel Excellent Storage Find No Reserve on 2040-cars
Edgewood, New Mexico, United States

hello,
thanks for looking at my car.....here is the story....we have a towing company here in albuquerque and got this car from a local storage unit due to non-payment from the renter. the car had been stored there for some time and its believed the owner pased away. the car was from texas. we obtained clear title for it through a towing a storage lien. the mileage on the car is 145,000 and i believe it to be accurate, but please use your own judgement. the odometer did work when i first drove it until i pushed the button to reset the trip to zero, and it never worked again. due to mew mexico law, all vehicles taken by towing and storage liens have the title stated as not actual miles. this title will reflect this.......ok, now the condition. the body on this car is AMAZING to say the least. no dents, rust, damage or anything i can find. the paint is LIKE NEW really, the chrome and paint shine like a new one. it has only a couple small nicks in the paint, one on the drivers mirror, and one near the left rear wheel well. the inside is in good shape too. the dash has some cracks from the desert heat and some of the wood too but not bad. all the rugs, door panels, headliner and things like that are in great shape. now some thing need attention as most of these old cars do. only the drivers window works. the passenger side does not do anything, and both rear doors, i think, may need window regulators. ( i can hear the motors running ). the radio lights up, and the display works but there is no sound. the clock doe not work. the tachometer does work after the car warms up. the power mirror on the right side does not work.....the other stuff like the speedometer, all other gauges, all lights, heater a/c, both power seats, wipers, horn all do work.....running condition....the car sails down the highway with good power and handles well. has almost new tires all the way around. the transmission shifts through the gears up and down and engages good with no slipping. the diesel engine is an old school diesel. it needs glow plugs to start sounds like a truck diesel, and has the usual diesel smoke. but all in all it runs like it should. all around a good solid mercedes. please look at the photos, as i dont know what more to say, only that it will sell without reserve, so if you want it, bid on it !! the car can stay here (garaged ) for up to 60 days if need be as long as its paid in full. i can help load on your trailer or transporter for you.....thank you and good luck !!!! |

Mercedes considering GLA-based crossover coupe
Wed, 30 Apr 2014BMW opened a whole Pandora's Box when it introduced the X6 back in 2008. Sure it made little sense, sacrificing all that "utility" for a little more "sport," but it's been a solid success for BMW - especially considering the nominal expense it cost to develop the X6 on top of the X5 on which it's based. Little wonder that, while BMW has already followed up with a smaller version in the form of the X4, other automakers are starting to catch up. And that includes Mercedes-Benz.
The German automaker is preparing to launch a new MLC, based on the M-Class but with a sportier silhouette, and previewed it with the Concept Coupe SUV at the Beijing Motor Show. But that's just the start, according to the latest report from Automotive News Europe.
Mercedes is reportedly considering spinning off an entire line of crossovers more for use on the road than off it. Which may go without saying for most crossovers on the market, but considering the Geländwagen with which Mercedes got its start in SUVs, would mean an even further departure than it has undertaken already.
Mercedes Sprinter updated to take on Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster
Mon, 29 Apr 2013By the end of this year, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter will be the second-oldest nameplate in its segment here in the States, but with hot new competition waiting in the wings, Mercedes-Benz is giving its hauler a freshened look and more equipment to stave off rivals. The Sprinter was a pioneer in bringing Euro-style delivery vans to North America, and it's inspired others to transplant their Continental offerings, with the all-new Ford Transit and Ram Promaster models launching shortly. It will also continue to do battle with lower-cost traditional competitors like the Chevrolet Express and Ford E-Series.
The big Sprinter will thus get a new look to go with more safety features and available technology. While the information released here technically covers the Euro-spec 2013 Sprinter (which goes on sale in September), the US market is expected to get the new Sprinter for the 2014 model year with many of the same features. Some of this new technology includes a Crosswind Assist feature as standard equipment and the availability of Collision Prevention Assist and Blind Spot Assist as optional safety measures - Mercedes-Benz says that all three are firsts for any van in the world. Also added to the updated Sprinter is a new 1.8-liter supercharged gasoline (or CNG) engine producing 156 horsepower, which will complement the line of diesel engines that carry over and help make the Sprinter the first cargo van to meet the upcoming Euro VI emissions standards. Additionally, a lower ride height is said to improve fuel economy and should improve handling while aiding ingress and egress for both people and cargo.
In terms of styling, the Sprinter's new face also looks more like the current line of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars. This includes a more upright grille along with changes to the hood, headlights and bumper that lend it a closer kinship to models like the CLS-Class and the updated E-Class. The Sprinter will offer both halogen and HID headlights, while the latter will get LED running lamps and offer Highbeam Assist. The images shown here only reveal the exterior from front angles, but it looks like few, if any, changes have been made to the rear of the van. Interior upgrades include a thicker steering wheel, a new shift lever and the latest in audio, navigation and entertainment systems. Scroll down for the official press release for the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
Man makes record-setting drive across the US in 28 hours, 50 minutes
Fri, 01 Nov 2013Records, as the say, are made to be broken. Whether that's cramming the most hot dogs down your gullet, running a faster mile, or yes, driving across the United States, odds are that there's someone out there wants to eat more, run faster or drive harder. Speaking of that last example, the record for driving from a set location on the east coast, in particular the Red Ball Garage in Manhattan to the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach, CA, has been one that has fascinated gearheads since a guy named Cannonball Baker made the trek from New York to LA in 53 hours, 30 minutes, in 1933.
The competition saw its glory days when Car and Driver's Brock Yates came up with the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash (more affectionately known as the Cannonball Run), although the record was most recently set by Alex Roy and his 32-hour, seven-minute trek behind the wheel of a BMW M5 in 2006. Now, there's a new champion, who made the trip from east to west in a scarcely imaginable 28 hours and 50 minutes, behind the wheel of a 2004 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG. That's works out to an average speed of 98 miles per hour over the course of 2,813.7 miles.
His name is Ed Bolian, and Jalopnik has a writeup of the epic voyage that details everything from the history of the Cannonball Run to Bolian's preparation and trouble finding co-drivers, to the trip itself. It is well worth a read.
