1984 Mercedes-benz 300sd Base Sedan 4-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Gainesville, Virginia, United States
|
For sale is my 1984 300SD. I am selling it because it can no longer pass inspection due to rust issues. HOWEVER this car has several new or recently replaced parts making it a great parts car, and if you have the ability to get it passed in VA or whatever state you're in, it will be a good car to drive.
The odometer broke at 288,000 miles, and I have put 45,000 miles on it since then, driving to/from my vanpool pickup location and short trips around town for the last 3 years. Prior to that I used it to get to/from school in Atlanta, GA, and also for work-related trips to Chattanooga, TN, Wilmington, NC, and Columbia, SC. The engine and transmission are original, and I have maintenance records from the previous owner, but all maintenance after I purchased the car in 2009 was done by myself, with receipts for big items and oil done every 6 months or 5000 miles whichever came first. List of new and/or recently replaced parts: AC Compressor @ 243,000 miles ($450 new) Brake Booster and Master Cylinder @ 275,000 miles ($310 new) Vaccuum Pump @ 250,000 miles ($360 new) Blower Motor and Heat Pump @265,000 miles ($300 new) Oil Cooler and Hoses @ 279,000 miles ($1000 new) Alternator @ 285,000 miles ($150 new) Air Filter Bracket @ 290,000 miles ($50 new) Belt Tensioner Bolt @ 300,000 miles ($100 new) Driver's Side Motor Mount and Engine Shock @ 305,000 miles ($100 new) Shutoff Valve @ 315,000 miles ($100 new) Driver's Side Lens Cover @320,000 miles ($50 new) Headlight Assembly Driver's Side @ 320,000 miles ($75 new) Unused/Unisintalled Parts included in sale: (These are new parts that I simply will not use) 2 Flex Discs, with nuts and bolts ($100 new) Drive Shaft Support Bearing ($50 new) Drive Shaft Support ($75 new) Passenger Side Motor Mount and Shock ($100 new) Assortment of Filters ($75) Real Tire and Wheel with Mercedes Hubcap as spare ($100) Brake Pads ($75-100) I really do NOT want to get rid of this car, but would happily give it to an enthusiast who would use it as an "organ donor" of sorts or even drive it himself/herself if you can get it to pass inspection. The rust is a real issue. Problems with car: 1) Rust 2) Exhaust needs to be hung by wires. The brackets and rubber exhaust hangers no longer support the exhaust. 3) The car's acceleration is bad even for this make/model. I think the engine and turbo simply need a good cleaning, but it takes a significant amount of time to get to cruising speed. It's not a safety issue. If you are local (within 30 miles) I will help arrange for transporting the car to your location. The parts only go with the car. I will not sell the parts without the car. |

Mercedes-AMG considering turbo fours, hybrid sixes for future performance sedans
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Think of the letters AMG and you'll probably end up picturing a performance sedan with a big V8. Such has become, after all, the Mercedes turning division's calling card. But with the introduction of its 2.0-liter turbo four, AMG is working at turning that notion on its head.
The highly potent engine produces 355 horsepower and is presently installed in the A45 AMG hatchback, CLA45 AMG sedan and GLA45 AMG crossover, giving Benz's smallest family a full range of performance models. But that might not be the full extent of the high-strung four-pot's use.
Speaking with AMG boss Tobias Moers, Britain's What Car? magazine reports that Affalterbach is considering slotting the same engine into larger models, particularly performance sedans like the C-Class. As we recently reported, Mercedes is already preparing to up the power from the turbo V6 in the C400 to slot a C450 Sport in below the C63 AMG. The C450 is expected to offer around 367 horsepower where the CLA45 AMG et al pack 355, but the lighter weight of the four-cylinder engine would likely offset the truancy of those extra dozen horses. Of course such a prospect would be much further down the pipeline than the C450 Sport which is expected to arrive much sooner.
Next Mercedes-Benz C-Class spotted in the snow
Mon, 11 Mar 2013The entry-level Mercedes-Benz C-Class has long felt like nothing more than, well, just that. Aside from the potent and delicious C63 AMG models, there hasn't been much to set the C-Class apart in the entry-level luxury/sport segment, leading to the model being regarded by many as "The Cheap Mercedes." No, it's certainly not a bad car, but for our money, it hasn't stood up particularly well to competitors like the BMW 3 Series or Audi A4.
So with the handsome new CLA-Class coming to round off the entry-level end for Mercedes-Benz, big plans are in store for the C-Class. We can see some evidence of that in this latest set of spy shots from our friends at CarPix. According to earlier reports, the new C-Class will be "far more dramatic" in the visuals department, and while the sedan's sculpting is still covered by camo, the much sleeker headlamp design we see here is, at the very least, a good start. The car's overall size is expected to grow a bit to further distance itself from the CLA, though thanks to lightweight materials, curb weight isn't expected to increase.
Just like the current model, the new C-Class is expected to use four- and six-cylinder engines, both gas- and diesel-fed, and overall power output for the global engine range should span from 120-ish on the low end to as much as 330. These new engines are expected to be mounted lower and farther rearward than before, offering better balance for both rear- and 4Matic all-wheel drive configurations. And as for that AMG? Rumors suggest a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 will fall underhood.
Mercedes Concept GLA45 AMG is ready to run
Wed, 20 Nov 2013This is the Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA45 AMG, and what we mean by that is, "This is the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG." Mercedes has just unveiled the liveried 'concept' at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, giving potential customers a very good look at the newest lunatic in the AMG asylum - a 355-horsepower, 332-pound-foot crossover that uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in the CLA45 AMG and Europe's A45 AMG.
Joined with a seven-speed, AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission and an AMG Performance 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, Mercedes promises a sub-five-second run to 60 miles per hour. That's not just quick for a crossover, that's quick full stop.
That sleek, lifted body has also been tweaked by the minds at AMG's Affalterbach facility. A new rear spoiler, side sills and front clip are the primary aerodynamic tweaks. Aesthetically, AMG has fitted the requisite "Turbo" badges, gloss-black accents (including exhaust tips and roof rails) and a set of 21-inch, AMG-spec alloy wheels to round out the overall package. Based on the spy shots we've seen, expect slightly toned down aerodynamics when the GLA45 AMG arrives in showrooms.
