Midlothian, Virginia, United States

A Class Act… Man, what a ride! You know that timing is everything! If you stumbled upon this auction, then this may be your lucky day. Are you looking for a reliable car with looks that will last? Where are you going to find a solid car with classic looks, unrivaled reliability, economy, style and class? Well, today I am offering, a 1984 Mercedes-Benz 300D 4dr Sedan 5-cyl. 2998cc/123hp Turbo-diesel Fuel Injection. You can enjoy this car, have it several years, sell it and get your money back. Cheap Thrills! The only reason that I am offering her is
because I’ve bought another one, in Lapis Blue. Actually this Dark Blue 1984, drives better but has more miles and its interior
is better. Yet, I prefer the color of the 1985. “Mercedes built the car to last, and many are still on the road today. As a testament to the car’s longevity, it is popular in Africa as a bush taxi, covering thousands of miles of rough roads with only basic maintenance. The 3.0-liter inline 5 diesel in the 300D, while lacking in power, is considered to be one of the most reliable engines ever built. The timeless design is sure to last as long as the car itself, making this car a classic that is here to stay.” (Hagerty, 1984 300D Turbo-Diesel, 2014). Why buy this one! 1. I got this car from my friend who happens to be a Mercedes Diesel expert. Pete goes over all of these cars before buying them and drives the kinks out of them, then fixes and tunes them to its optimal performance. Some he has kept, this is one of them that he sold to me. It has been vacuum tuned and runs quicker than all of them. All of the fluids, oils and filter have been replaced or checked and/or changed and will be checked again prior to purchase. 2. Stringent Virginia State Inspection has just been completed. You don’t get a sticker in Virginia unless the brakes, lights, steering, horn, windows and more are acceptable for the road. 3. None of
these cars are exactly alike in how they perform and drive. Do not let the mileage fool you because
this one drives smoother, tighter and quieter than previous ones that I’ve
owned. Reliability is an understatement. This one, none of them ever let me
down. I feel confident that this car will go
anywhere. Best part about this 300D is the way it moves on down the road. She can be driven and driven and driven anywhere. 4. I believe that I have many of the records back from 1996 and vehicle history and title report appear to indicate this was either a one or two owner car and has been in the North Carolina and mostly Virginia most of its time. Also, the records from 96 on indicate the car was serviced at Mercedes in Richmond, VA. Other considerations for your purchasing decision: -

10 clear – front windshield slight ding on windshield -
Seats,
interior very good – drivers seat (see pic) - Seats
could be lightly dusted as it is called to bring to perfection - Body – solid (slight rust noted drivers side rear, see pic) Known Needs: Air Conditioning – The system was replaced in 2001 and got the record. I purchased the car in the winter and did not concern myself with it. The air conditioning needs to get checked. According to Hagerty Ratings these cars keep increasing in value and I have adjusted the price considerably. These cars are used for daily transportation but are ready for a long tour without excuses, and the casual passerby will not find any visual flaws. "Good" is the one word description of a Hagerty Price Guide #3. |

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.
Dartz promises own 6x6 G-Class with golden shishas and a dining room
Mon, 25 Mar 2013So you didn't really think Dartz Motorz was going to let the limited-production, 544-horsepower Mercedes 6x6 G63 AMG go without a challenge, did you? Picking up the gauntlet as only Dartz can, the Russian dream-makers have come up with the Sahara G-eopard, supposedly a special request from a buyer to make one of the 'standard' six-wheelers "more opulent and insane."
That means the vehicle from the factory gets extended by about a foot (30 centimeters), coach doors in the rear, a "yacht floor" and air conditioning that runs on its own power source, Asanti 24-inch Gold Bullion wheels and a water dispenser with Russian diamonds, which the owner will need to fill the golden shishas (hookahs) in the portable smoking room. That's right, you heard the man: a portable smoking room. Where the occupants will retire when they're finished in the portable dining room. Of course.
Yes, it will even have leopard spotting painted onto its nano-coating, and so much more. You can check out the press release below from the source. Try not to be jealous.
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.
