I am selling this Mercedes 300CD COUPE because I do not have garage space to store it inside. It sits in my driveway covered. It really needs to be in a garage to preserve its fine ORIGINAL qualities. I travel extensively and the car just sits in my driveway. I live in the San Diego are so the weather is mild. If I had garage space I would keep this car because it is very special.
Special Qualities - View the pictures. The windshield has the original decals in the lower corners of the window. These decals disappeared quickly on most cars due to sun fading and sun damage. The interior door panels are NOT all wrinkled from the sun. The instrument panel gauge pointers are NOT faded. The dash is not cracked. Not a spec of rust. The radio/stereo is a German Becker that came from a late model Porsche. It is AM/FM with a CD player and has an IPOD plug that charges your Ipod. I have the original radio that works just fine. There are 5 Chrome wheels and 5 matching tires. Bosche German European headlights included as shown in the photos and I have a set of standard lights that will go with it. The AC blows cold. All windows operate as designed. The push button ventilation controller was replaced and the heater fan motor was replaced. These features and in this condition is VERY VERY Rare.
Negatives - there is a flaw noted on the car fax. I was told the rear window was replaced. I had this car thoroughly inspected and there is no overspray and no signs of any body damage. The chrome on the wheels is starting to show its age. the wheels look fine but if you inspect closely there is some flaws showing in the chrome. The tires are showing some minor cracking. The buzzer that worns you when you leave your lights on is not working. I have another switch that I will include. The engine is not leaking oil but there are signs of oil on the engine. The rubber wipers on the door windows is showing some aging. The air blows intermittently from the 2 center vents.
If you want additional information call John 619 261 3398. I do not have any service records however if you inpsect this car it is evident that the miles are original. It is 1 in a 1000 car. I would rate this car 9.5 on 10. I have been followed and stopped many times by people wanting to view the car. If you want a 300CD this one is worth checking out and spending a bit more to get one that is this nice.

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
Volvo S60 Polestar concept plays in the snow with Mercedes C63 AMG
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Chris Harris took to a snowy stretch of tarmac to get a fingertips-on-the-wheel feel of the Volvo S60 Polestar concept. Harris says the turbocharged sedan with 508 horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque - and a manual transmission - is "a study to see if Volvo can get back into the fast-car market." The Polestar S60 concept, one of which was already purchased for $300,000 by a private buyer, is still making the publicity rounds because even Volvo's Chinese owners realize that, as Harris says, "Volvo sold more cars because it made fast cars" like the old 850 T5 Wagon that stormed the British Touring Car Championship in the 1990s.
For reference, Harris compares the blue wonder to the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and its 487 hp and 442 lb-ft. The question is, were Volvo to get the price of a production version of the S60 Polestar to climb way down from its 200,000-pound sticker, could it be worthy competition to the established giants?
You can watch Harris divine the answer via a lot of drifting through the snow and a drag race in the video below.
Consumer Reports selling its road-tested roadsters [w/video]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Here's a chance to acquire a celebrity-owned vehicles, and this time at a discount instead of a premium. So the celebrity in this case is Consumer Reports, that magazine that could be equally adored and abhored by car enthusiasts. CR buys all of its test vehicles and usually finds willing second owners within its own ranks, but its opening its small used-car lot to the public. On the forecourt are four roadsters: an automatic 2012 Audi TT 2.0 TFSI Quattro S-Tronic with 6,600 miles for $36,500, a manual 2012 BMW Z4 sDrive28i with 8,400 miles for $45,000, a manual 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK250 for $39,500 and a manual 2013 Porsche Boxster with 7,000 miles for $48,000.
Those numbers mean a savings of $9,000 to $10,000 before haggling - each car is listed with an "Asking price" so there could be some wiggle room if you show up with pockets full of dough and eyes full of serious intent. Since the money CR earns from the sales go back into the magazine's budget to buy more test cars, however, it probably won't take any oddball trades, so you can forget about getting any purchasing help from that track-day AMC Javelin project on blocks in the back yard.
The vehicles have been taken care of and spiffed up for sale; buyers will take delivery at the CR test track in East Haddam, Connecticut and get a tour of the facilities. While you're there they'll even take you on a lap around the track so you can feel how your car handles when driven by one of its testers. They will probably not help you with advice on which toaster and dehumidifier to buy - you'll still need to get a subscription for that. Have a look at the video below to see a day in the life of a CR test car.
