1984 MERCEDES 300 SD 

TURBO DIESEL

ONE OF THE LAST OF THE W126 BODY STYLE EVER MADE WITH THE INDESTRUCTIBLE OM615 3.0 LITER 6 CYLINDER DIESEL ENGINE!

CAR HAS JUST OVER 114,000 MILES
NO RESERVE

This is a PRIVATE SALE.

The car runs excellent- at 114k miles its not even broken in yet!
The engine runs as new, the transmission shifts fine
The turbo works really well too.
The vehicle is loaded with all the options of its time-
power windows, power (vacuum) locks, stock becker am/fm/tape radio installed
a/c, cruise control, power sliding roof, power front seats etc...

the car was bought by my uncle several years ago, he loves the big W126 body style benz but it was never really driven. 

i know the car since many years ago, its a very nice riding car. He started it up occasionally and drove it sparingly.
as with any 30 year old car it will need a few things-
the right rear window regulator needs to be replaced. 
im pretty sure the left rear window was fine but its missing the button in the back. the window switches in the center console could also be defective. Switches are real cheap to buy here.
the front windows work, the sunroof works
the radio does not work- i have yet to see an original becker stereo of this vintage working!
you can have them repaired still.
the blower motor does not work, probably from sitting. it was working 3-4 years ago when he bought it. it could also be a fuse, honestly not sure. 
i remember the A/C was also working.
the belts look older, i would have those replaced
the body has no rust, thats to be expected from a southern car
clear coat peel on hood and trunk areas, to be expected from a southern car too!
i would have the fuel filters replaced and do an oil change.
the tires still look very good all around.
the brakes feel good but the brake pad wear light is on.
the interior is excellent for the age.
odometer broke in the last hundred miles, there's a gear you can get here (or FCP groton) and replace easily. Over time, the plastic gets brittle and cracks.

On most of the W126 body the rear seat cushion/padding becomes "deflated". This one had the padding of the rear seats restored about 10 years ago.

The things this car needs are relatively minimal, common routine maintenance. all the parts are inexpensive and the car is easy to repair, that's why people including us love these cars!


we are a family of W123 , W124, and W126 body mercedes diesel addicts. 
we have another W126 in the yard for parts but my uncle never had a chance to get it fixed.

many people also convert these to run on WVO (vegetable oil), you can also run waste engine oil in these if you mix it. we have one of the more expensive WVO kits if thats your plan we can work something out too with that....

If you want anything repaired before you get the car, at your cost, we are glad to assist. Just let us know!

NON SMOKING OWNER. I HAVE TITLE IN HAND WITH NO LIENS READY TO GO TO THE NEXT OWNER. IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS LET ME KNOW. TERMS OF SALE: I HAVE TO HEAR FROM YOU OR AT LEAST GET A DEPOSIT IN 24 HOURS FROM THE SALE. I NEED A GOOD PHONE AND EMAIL ADDRESS FOR THE BUYER. BALANCE IS DUE IN 7 DAYS. YOU CAN PICK UP WITHIN 21 DAYS. $125 DOC FEE APPLIES TO ALL SALES.

Queens man knows how to party, disrupts Mets game with van

Fri, Jun 24 2016

A New Yorker and all-around true American hero took his weekend festivities a little too far and landed himself in front of a judge last week. According to NBC New York, Nelson Hidalgo drove his unassuming Sprinter to Citi Field on Saturday, June 18, around 10:45 p.m. While the Mets were getting thrashed by the Braves, Hidalgo pulled up to the intersection of 127th street and 35th avenue. Hiding within the van's cargo area were 80 speakers driven by powerful amps, around $20,000 worth of car audio. Hidalgo opened the Sprinter's rear doors, deployed his amazing speaker system, cracked a cold Coors Light, and unleashed hell. Noise complaints immediately started flooding in to the police, including one from the Mets' bullpen. Soon, Hidalgo amassed a sizable crowd who had come to rock out and marvel at the lunacy of the Sprinter's sound system. The NYPD showed up eventually and, undaunted by noise and the crowd, clapped the irons on poor Nelson. The Sprinter was impounded and Hildago was charged with second-degree criminal nuisance, general noise prohibition, disorderly conduct, and obstructing the driver's view. "I know it's illegal, but it's the weekend," he explained to the cops as they hauled him away. Once they had him in custody, the NYPD realized that Hidalgo was the person they had been looking for in connection with absurdly loud music coming from various city junkyards in the dead of night. Hidalgo, who has no prior record, spent the night in the slammer but was released the next morning with no bail on the promise that he return for his court date on August 1. Related Video:

Nissan edges out Tesla for most ZEV credits sold in California

Wed, Oct 22 2014

When it comes to California zero-emissions vehicle (ZEV) credits last year, Nissan was selling and Mercedes-Benz was buying. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) put out its ZEV-credits numbers for the year that ended September 30, which is why we now know that Nissan, maker of the battery-electric Leaf, transferred 663.6 ZEV credits out of its account last year. That just edged out the 650.195 credits that Tesla sold. Chrysler's Fiat affiliate was a distant third, but its limited-production Fiat 500E was still able to generate some ZEV credits and then transfer out 235.2 of them. We don't know how much the buyers paid for these credits, since those details are kept private. It's an ever-changing rulebook over at CARB, anyway. On the flip side, Mercedes-Benz had to buy 663.6 ZEV credits in order to comply with clean vehicle-sales mandates in the most populous US state, indicative of the German automaker's gas-guzzling tendencies. Honda has cars that get better fuel economy than your average Benz, but its plug-in vehicles represent just a fraction of total sales and so it had to shell out for 542.5 ZEV credits. Chrysler-Fiat basically tread water, since the 237.8 ZEV credits it required for compliance canceled out gains on the other side of the ledger. Those Dodge Ram pickup trucks don't exactly help matters. Last year, Tesla sold the most ZEV credits while GM purchased the most. Overall, Californians bought about 3.5 million vehicles for the year that ended September 30, including 38,000 battery-electric vehicles, 30,000 plug-in hybrids and 570,000 conventional hybrids. The longstanding ZEV program means that California now has more than 100,000 ZEVs on its roads. Read this for more details on ZEV credit transfers in California.

2017 Frankfurt Motor Show | Observations on the Ferrari Portofino, Honda Urban EV and more

Wed, Sep 13 2017

Related: We obsessively covered the Frankfurt Motor Show — here's our complete coverage The 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show kicked off the fall reveal season with an impressive array of powerful cars blended with forward-looking concepts. It's a seminal period for automakers, who find themselves at the intersection of disruption and opportunity. With that in mind, here are four takeaways from Frankfurt. The transformation of the curvy yet overbaked Ferrari California T into the Portofino is complete, and its coming-out party in Frankfurt served notice that Ferrari's entry-level sports car is much more formidable. There was nothing wrong with the California (and later the California T), but the Portofino features a cleaner look with stronger lines and an elegant resemblance to the rest of the Ferrari family. The California name is a good one. Used on a number of memorable cars in the 1950s and '60s, it's steeped in tradition, and certainly Ferrari will dust it off again. But switching to Portofino, the name of a scenic town in Italy, is a nice way to change the conversation and generate fresh interest in this part of the Ferrari portfolio. Man, people are stoked over the Honda Urban EV concept. Why? I assume it's the retro look that harks back to early Civics, and the lack of information about the concept itself. What people don't know, they're imagining. Honda hasn't even confirmed the range, the car is very small, and it likely won't be sold in the United States. With this dearth of facts, enthusiasts are filling in their own blanks. I guess that's OK. Count me among the intrigued. When I saw pictures of this thing early Tuesday morning, I was pretty excited, too. We do know Honda is expanding its electric strategy, and two-thirds of its new vehicles sold around the world will have some form of electrification by 2030. The Urban EV launches in Europe in 2019, and a hybrid CR-V rolls out in Europe next year. Unconfirmed for the U.S. market, it seems like a no-brainer to bring that version of the CR-V here. The electrification and autonomous tech parade of concepts continues. You gotta be there. It's the cost of doing business in the modern automotive landscape. This technology takes years to develop and launch, so the next best thing to remind the world you're trying to be cutting-edge is to show off lots of fancy concepts. Frankfurt had plenty. A couple standouts: The BMW I Vision Dynamics and Audi's Elaine and Aicon.
