Thanks for looking at my 83 Benz. This car is the 123 body which was the most popular model ever made by Mercedes and has the 5 cylinder 3-liter diesel engine with a turbocharger. I have owned it personally since 2006 and drove it almost every day. It was run extensively on biodiesel and runs well on it. I have recently purchased my first new car in many years and something has to go. Sadly it is the benz. I will try to describe it as accurately as possible and if you have questions don't hesitate to contact me. I will list the bad items first then the good.
The bad
The odometer never worked while I have owned the car so the mileage is higher than what shows. There is peeling in the clearcoat so it could be shinier.Only starts in neutral. (this may be a minor adjustment) The drivers seat has a hole in the back cushion (covered by the seat cover in the pics) Rear power windows do not quite go to the top on there own, they must be helped. Power antenna works but isn't hooked to the radio for activation. (a good radio installer could probably hook it up) Air conditioning works but leaks badly so is not charged. Cruise control doesn't work.Crack in windshield.Tear in headliner.
The good
I replaced the motor last year with a low mileage one from a wrecked car. Runs very well.Tires were purchased by me and have about 60% left on them. Has a good spare. Has a nice stereo -cd player. Comes with a set of regulators and motors for the back power windows. I have a replacement speedometer to fix the odometer issue that comes with it. I have a number of other miscellaneous. extra parts that will also go with it. When we replaced the engine we also replaced the AC compressor but it hasn't been charged up. If the price goes high enough (don't ask) I will replace the windshield The body on this car is exceptionally straight and it has minimal dings etc. Very good for a car of this vintage. I installed a new 6-year battery last week.
I'm sure I may have missed something so just ask any questions you want answered.

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.
Russia gives its Olympic medalists new Mercedes
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Russian medalists at the recently concluded Sochi Winter Olympics are being rewarded quite handsomely for their service to the Motherland. In addition to the $120,000 being handed out for each gold medal, the $76,000 being awarded for slivers and $52,000 given to bronze winners, now word has come out that each of Russia's medalists will be gifted a new Mercedes-Benz.
As with the prize amounts, the type of Mercedes offered was based on what sort of medal was won. Gold medalists got a new GL-Class, silver medalists were given an ML and bronze medalists were treated to a GLK. As prices for Mercedes are higher in Russia, the cheapest model, the GLK, was the equivalent of $59,500, according to The Moscow Times. The cars were handed out by Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, pictured above with figure skating medalist Julia Lipnitskaia.
"I was a bit shocked at the car I was given," Anton Shipulin, a member of the gold-medal biathlon relay team, told RIA-Novosti. "Of course I knew what kind of model it would be, but I didn't totally believe it." For athletes not old enough to drive, like 15-year-old Lipnitskaia, their Mercedes will come complete with a driver.
Mercedes-AMG GT attacks Circuit of the Americas
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Mercedes-Benz is having a banner year with its Formula One team. Through 2014, the constructor has 454 championship points; ahead of its nearest competitor (Red Bull-Renault) by a margin of 182 tally marks. We're sure they can almost taste the champagne.
It's fitting then, and a little big cocky in a good way, that Mercedes has released a video of its newest sports car at an F1 venue. In this case, the car is the lovely Mercedes-AMG GT S, and the racetrack is Austin's Circuit of the Americas.
Having seen the official photo set and scratched the surface of the technical specifications earlier this week, we're excited to finally hear the thing run. As you might guess, the deployment of 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque from the twin-turbo V8 is a motivating experience. Crank up your volume, and hit that play button. (Oh, and Mercedes shot the thing in 4K, too, so those of you with expensive televisions/monitors should take heed to the settings.)
