1985 Mercedes-benz 300d Base Sedan 4-door 3.0l With Wvo Vegetable Oil Conversion on 2040-cars

Year:1985 Mileage:217000
Location:

This car is amazing and turns alot of heads. Everything works and she drives great.  To ensure that she keeps driving as when she was new, Ive put over $4k into her in new parts mentioned below.  Best of all, you can drive her for next to free with recycled veggie oil with the conversion kit that has been installed. Its a Lovecraft WVO single tank system that allows you to run straight veggie oil, biodiesel, diesel or any combo of the mentioned. 

Overall a very well taken care of Benz
Shiny rare midnight blue paint (paint is cracking in spots) 
New tires
Replaced transmission last month
New brakes
New OEM starter
New Vacuum lines and hoses
New Battery (September 2013)
New stereo with iPod connection and new speakers
All electrical works
Sunroof and windows work 
Runs great
Starts right up
No rust 
Recently replaced shocks
Good rubber all around
Good fuel mileage (27-35)
A/c works but needs a recharge
Drivers side seat has a rip
Has salvage title (though it runs better than other 300D's Ive driven.  Not sure what the salvage title is from but accident report indicated no accidents)
And given that its a 28 year old car, it does have wear and tear and character marks. As with all European cars, there are quirks here and there, I.e. Sometimes you have to jiggle the passenger seatbelt to buckle it, etc. 

The odometer reads 217xxx which is pretty low for its age. It reflects how me and the previous owners have cared for her. I love driving this car. It rides like butter and handles very tight and smooth. I am selling because I have two vehicles and now I live downtown where there is no parking.

    Mercedes to roll out S65 AMG Coupe in July

    Mon, 07 Apr 2014

    We're still a couple of weeks away from the public debut of the new Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe at the fast-approaching New York Auto Show, but already we're receiving word of an even more powerful version in the works. That, of course, would be the S65 AMG Coupe - the twelve-cylinder version of the latest S-Class Coupe, two-door counterpart to the S65 AMG sedan and replacement for the outgoing CL65 AMG.
    Like the four-door version rolled out back in November, the S65 AMG Coupe would be distinguished from less powerful vehicles (which, lets face it, is just about everything) principally by its engine: a massive, 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 that produces 621 horsepower, 738 pound-feet of torque and cares as much about global warming as an oil-shipping mega-tanker.
    Because Merc's 4Matic all-wheel drive system can't handle that much torque, the ne plus ultra coupe would (like the S65 sedan but unlike the S63 coupe) be offered only in rear-drive form. That means it will have that much more trouble getting the power down to the road, but since the Magic Body Control suspension is similarly incompatible with 4Matic, the flagship coupe will get that trick suspension.

    World Car Of The Year down to its final four

    Wed, 13 Mar 2013


    Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
    Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.

    Mercedes CLA45 AMG Racing is ready for a spot on the grid

    Tue, 10 Sep 2013

    Mercedes-Benz trotted out its CLA45 AMG-based racer at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. We first showed you the sedan in the deluge of news and reveals that precedes most good auto shows, and were blown away by the car, formally known as the CLA45 AMG Racing Series.
    We were strolling by the Mercedes stand, and figured we'd pop in and take a look at the new racer and its carbon-fiber body panels, gutted interior, and race-sourced aero parts. It's a looker, both as a road car and a track weapon. It's not clear what series the CLA45 AMG will qualify for, although it does seem like a shoe-in for the World Touring Car Championship. Let us know what you think of the CLA racer down in the comments. In the meantime, we've got a full gallery of live images up top, along with the stock images that were posted last week on the Mercedes-Benz Facebook page.
