1983 Mercedes Benz 300D Turbo Diesel Sedan
Description: There are less than 68,000 miles on this Classic White exterior with Blue MB Tex Interior upholstery, 5-Cylinder, 3.0 liter, pre-chamber fuel-injection, 120 horsepower, turbo charged diesel, single overhead cam, 4-speed automatic transmission, power assisted 11? diameter 4-wheel disc brakes, 4-wheel fully independent suspension, A/C and heat automatic climate control, 6-point central locking system (including doors, trunk, and fuel door), power steering, cruise control, original Becker Europa AM/FM cassette stereo with 4 wide range speakers and adjustable height power antenna, electrically heated rear windshield, quartz chronometer, tachometer, 3-way adjustable driver front bucket seats, parcel nets on front seat backrests, 14” light alloy wheels, front and rear center folding arm rest, front center cargo tray, halogen head lamps, halogen amber fog lamps, factory light tinted glass, 2-speed windshield wiper with 5-second interval mist control, real zebrano wood dash trim and console, 4 retracting 3-point inertia reel safety belts, 120 standard safety features (including unitized steel construction with over 4,700 weld points), Velour Carpeting, driver accessible rear dome light switch, headlamp turn-off warning device, full spare and tool kit, first-aid kit, 21.1 gallon fuel tank including reserve of 2.8 gallons, approximately 27 MPG.
Exterior Condition: The Classic White paint is in excellent condition, with a clear and deep shine, and is 100% rust free. There are a few very minor blemishes but the overall impression is excellent. The polished trim is brilliant without scratches or fading. Both the front and rear bumpers are in excellent condition without any scratches in the chrome, and the rubber body sleeves and bumper guards are excellent. The original belt molding body trim, which lines all of the doors, fenders, quarter panels and trunk, is perfect, with absolutely no fading or scratches. The factory 14” Bundt style light alloy wheels are in excellent condition. The high quality tires are excellent with approximately 75% of their tread remaining. The spare tire has never been used, and the original factory tool kit and jack are like-new. The trunk compartment is excellent, and has rarely been used. The original door seals, trunk seal, glass seals, rubber weather-stripping, etc., are excellent, and the original factory glass is excellent as well. The original chrome grill is excellent. The original headlamp housings are excellent, as are the side markers and tail lights, and all of the emblems are bright, shiny and excellent. The interior stickers, interior door jam specification plate and core support stickers are all excellent.
Interior Condition: The interior to this sedan is absolutely stunning! The Blue MB Tex upholstery is in perfect, like new condition. There are no rips, no tears, no fading, no diminished support in the padding, no pleats that have shifted beneath the stitching, and virtually no wear whatsoever. The original carpet still has the factory sheen, which you only find on low mileage examples, and it is excellent, without any stains, fading, unraveling, and virtually no wear at all. The real zebrano wood dash and console trim are excellent, with a clear, deep and durable shine. The headliner looks excellent, as do the sun visors. The door panels and map pockets are excellent without any cracks or scuffs. The instrument cluster is stunningly bright, without any faded needles or aging. The accessory switches, knobs, buttons, turn signal lever, cruise control lever, etc. are all in excellent condition without any faded symbols, and they are all in proper working order. The steering wheel is firm to the grip without any twisting or slack. The original tool kit, jack, etc. are all in excellent condition. There are a couple of small cracks in the dash which is not unusual in cars of this vintage. However, I’ve located a replacement dash in the same color which could be included in the sale of the vehicle if desired by the buyer. The exterior trim has absolutely no fading; the original rubber windshield gaskets, original rubber door weather-stripping, bumper sleeves, etc. are near perfect; the original carpet still has its factory sheen; the original brake pedal pad shows little wear, which is consistent for a vehicle with less than 68,000 miles.
Mechanical Condition: This sedan runs very well and appears to have been exceptionally well maintained since new. It’s durable and fuel efficient 3.0 liter, 5-cylinder turbo charged diesel motor is smooth and strong and it gets an average of approximately 27 MPG. Cold starts are instantaneous, which is validation to its low miles, and the motor, chassis and engine compartment are exceptionally clean and dry. The glow plugs were replaced in November 2012. The transmission shifts sure, timely, and proper. Independent suspension is solid and comfortable, and the steering is tight and responsive. This car would be a perfect candidate for any alternative fuels, such as biodiesel, straight vegetable oil (SVO), waste vegetable oil (WVO), etc.
Accessories: All power windows function fast and excellent. Central vacuum locking system works fast and proper, and one key fits front doors, trunk, and glove compartment. Cruise control sets and holds properly. Air conditioning/heater/defroster all work efficient, strong and excellent, and blow from the proper vents respectively. Becker Europa AM/FM stereo/cassette works excellent, along with adjustable height power antenna. Instrument cluster gauges work excellent, including; odometer, tachometer, trip meter, rheostat illumination switch, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, fuel gauge, etc. Seats adjust smooth and proper. Glove box compartment opens/closes/locks properly. Headlights work excellent, along with high beams, fog lights, brake lights, parking lights (side markers), reverse lights, both dome lights, turn signals, trunk light, license plate lights, glove compartment light, accessory switch illumination lights, instrument cluster lights, etc.
History: The original owner took delivery of the car in Germany in 1983 and was thereafter shipped by him to Texas. It was driven by him until 1988. The car was then driven by his wife who drove it sparingly for twenty plus years until 2012. From 1996 until 2012, the vehicle was only driven approximately 10,000 miles. I recently purchased the car from a local dealer who acquired it from the estate of the original owner(s). I have all the original owner’s manuals, service records, import documents and window (Monroney) sticker.
Payment and Transfer Requirements: All costs related to the sale of the vehicle are the sole responsibility of the buyer; including, but not limited to, the cost of transporting the vehicle to its final destination. A non-refundable deposit of $1,000.00 is required within forty-eight (48) hours of the closing of the auction and payment in full is required within seven (7) days of the closing of the auction.

2015 Mercedes C-Class owners reporting bleeding seats [UPDATE]
Wed, Jan 7 2015UPDATE: Daimler AG became aware that, in a small number of individual cases, it is possible for temporary spots and/or shiny patches to form on the man-made leather surfaces of the 2015 C-Class in sub-freezing temperatures. No accidents or injuries have been reported, and we have no reason to believe that there are any hazards to customers. Replacement parts are expected to start shipping to dealers by next week. Owners of the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class are learning the hard way that you don't necessarily want to buy a new vehicle in its first model year. Besides reports of poorly fitting taillights and faulty infotainment touchpads, a number of reports are popping up on the forums of MBWorld.org claiming that the compact luxury sedan's seats are, for lack of a better term, bleeding. Owners of US-built, 2015 C-Classes fitted with MB Tex vinyl interiors are reporting a white, oily, shiny residue discoloring their seats that shows up, often after cold cars are quickly heated. It's important to note that this residue is not necessarily staining the seats permanently – warm, soapy water is often all that's needed to restore the original finish. In other cases, the residue disappears of its own accord, only to reappear in an entirely different pattern. That doesn't make things any more acceptable to owners, many of whom have reached out to Mercedes with complaints. It's not clear how many vehicles are affected, but there are a sizable number of forum threads on the issue on MBWorld alone, and the problem is prevalent enough that Mercedes has issued a technical service bulletin to its dealers. According to the forum postings, the TSB instructs service technicians to replace the headrest and seat cover (except for the front, passenger-side seat bottom because of "factory calibration issues") in affected customer vehicles. New C-Class models in dealer inventories, meanwhile, are to get the soapy water treatment if they're showing signs of the residue. Neither one of those moves seems to represent a long-term fix, though. Black MB Tex seats – both the standard and sport variety – seem to be particularly susceptible to the residue, although we stumbled across at least one image of what looks like Silk Beige MB Tex with speckles of residue.
Mercedes takes VW Westfalia Camper idea upscale with new Marco Polo
Wed, 09 Jul 2014Earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz revealed the new V-Class. Slotting in below the popular Sprinter, the new V-Class replaced both the Viano and Vito upon its debut at the Geneva Motor Show. But Mercedes isn't quite done with it just yet. At the upcoming Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, Germany, Mercedes will reveal the Marco Polo - a versatile, stylish and decidedly contemporary take on the classic camper van.
Named after the famous Italian explorer, the Marco Polo was converted by Westfalia, an outfit which you might more closely associate with classic VW camper vans but which Daimler absorbed over a decade ago. Offering, according to the press release below, "a maximum of opportunities to be independent, free and spontaneous," the Marco Polo sleeps four thanks to the rear bench that electrically folds flat into a bed and the second berth under the pop-top. The flexible interior is decked out like you'd expect a modern Mercedes to be, with ambient LED lighting as well as wood, metal and piano black trim.
It's got an onboard kitchenette with two gas burners, a sink and fridge with a 10 gallons of fresh water and an even bigger waste tank. All that gear is shlepped around by a choice of four-cylinder turbodiesel engines ranging in output from 136 to 190 horsepower. The relatively compact form boasts a turning circle similar to a full-size sedan and a height designed to fit into most garages and car washes. All of which just might make us reconsider the appeal of traveling by camper van.
Mercedes-Benz G500 4x4 squares up for production
Mon, Jun 22 2015After showcasing the G500 4x42 in concept form at the Geneva Motor Show this past March, Mercedes has confirmed that it's putting the monster truck into production. The Mercedes G500 4x42 is a more extreme take on the legendary Gelandewagen. It ditches the extra set of wheels from the earlier G63 AMG 6x6, but keeps its wider track and jacked-up suspension, complete with portal axles, 22-inch wheels, 325/55-section tires, and a good foot and a half of ground clearance. It also loses the AMG-spec engine in favor of a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with 422 horsepower, based on the unit in the C63 and AMG GT. The smaller engine (and smaller axle-count) makes its list price a little easier to swallow than the half-million Benz commanded for the 6x6, but it'll still be a rather large pill. Pricing in Germany is listed at ˆ226,100 – equivalent to over $250k at current exchange rates. That makes it the second most expensive version of the G-Class currently available, behind the G65 that retails for ˆ271,915 (~$309k) in Germany and $217,900 in the US. MBUSA tells Autoblog that there are currently no plans for bringing the G500 4x42 to North America. But if it were to ford the Atlantic, it would likely carry a price tag in the neighborhood of $200k for the privilege of riding higher than just about any other commercially available passenger vehicle on the road. Alle Neuheiten der legendaren G-Klasse ab sofort bestellbar: Der Mercedes-Benz G 500 4x42 geht in Serie Stuttgart, Jun 19, 2015 Stuttgart - Outstanding response to the "Extreme-G": the G 500 4x42 show car proved hugely popular with many customers and is set to enter series production. In the superlative-studded history of the G-Class, the G 500 4x42 is the new highlight in the model range. The technical package consists of the all-wheel drive powertrain including portal axles and the new 4-litre V8 engine with twin turbocharging and an output of 310 kW (422 hp). All the other G-Class models have further improved interiors and powertrains, and meet the highest emissions standard Euro 6. The G 350 d, G 500, AMG G 63, AMG G 65 and G 500 4x42 can be ordered with immediate effect. A new addition to the extreme G-Class model family: the AMG G 63 6x6 is gaining a sibling in the form of the G 500 4x42.
