1985 Mercedes Benz 300D-T finished in Cabernet Red Metallic with Palomino MB Tex. This car has had only two owners. The second owner had purchased the car on 5-2-1986 pre-owned from Continental Mercedes of Fairfield, CT and had kept the car until her recent passing at 92 years old. This car was the owner's pride and joy and it shows. The condition is beautiful both inside and out. It has always been garaged and faithfully maintained. This is the last and best year of the W123 300D, one of the most durable cars Mercedes has ever produced.
The exterior of the car is in very good condition. The paint holds a deep shine with no fading. The paint is all original and the car has not been involved in any accidents. I can see one spot of surface rust (pictured), about half the size of a half dollar. It is the only rust I can see on the car. The rockers and jack points are rust free. The car was not used in the winter months after 1986. There are some dings and scratches that you would expect to see on a car driven by an elderly owner, however, the hand full of imperfections do not take away from the dazzling condition of the car. I will be happy to send close up photos of the most noticeable wear. All glass, chrome and rubber trim are in very good condition and have no damage. An additional antenna had been added to support a CB radio that had been installed by the original owner. The wheels had been protected with dust shields so they have been well preserved against brake dust.
The interior of the car is in excellent condition. The MB Tex upholstery is in near perfect condition. There are no holes or tears and the deep color and texture is are strong as a result of having been garaged. The driver's seat has had additional padding added as the owner was more comfortable with it firm rather than springy. You cannot tell by looking at it and it could easily be removed. The dash is in very good shape, I can see an extremely small crack (1/4 inch) from the corner of the passenger speaker cover. The headliner sits perfectly with no sign of sag. The plastic window trim on the doors shows extremely faint signs of shrink, if any. The wood is in very good condition, holding deep and bright color and showing very few cracks in the finish. This car has not been smoked in and has no strange odors. The carpets are free from any noticeable dirt or stains as they have been covered by mats since new and show no fade.
Mechanically, the car is in excellent condition. The engine is very powerful and the turbo pulls strong. The transmission shifts smoothly. The suspension and steering are tight. There are no strange noises or rattles. There are no stains on the garage floor underneath it. All interior functions, with the exception of the rear passenger window, work as they should. Power locks, cruise control, climate control, sunroof, lights etc. work as they should. Heat is hot and A/C is cold. Tires and brakes are very recent and have plenty of life left. The car has an aftermarket alarm that had been installed when it was new. I have the key to it and it operates as it should. I have one key to the car, all manuals that came with it, data plate, and original window sticker.
These cars have a legendary reputation for their comfort, engineering, build quality and longevity. This 300D is a very rare find being in excellent condition and having only 113k original miles. Most of these cars that are left have close to 300k on them and show considerable wear. This car has been very well preserved and is in very impressive condition. I have tried to describe the car as thoroughly and accurately as possible. If you have any further questions, would like specific photos or would like to see the car, please let me know.

Mercedes-Maybach spied inside and out sporting the huge S-Class screen
Wed, Apr 22 2020A new Mercedes-Benz S-Class is well on its way, and that means a new Mercedes-Maybach is following right behind it. We were introduced to the new Mercedes-Maybach strategy over five years ago. At the end of 2019, Mercedes added to the small collection with the GLS 600, bringing an SUV into the Maybach fold. These spy shots mark our first good look inside and outside the next-gen Mercedes-Maybach sedan. We’ll point out the massive screen first. Photos of this huge slab of screen have largely shown it turned off. Now, we get a solid look at the display all lit up and running MercedesÂ’ next iteration of MBUX. The icons and UX look a whole lot like MercedesÂ’ current infotainment system design, just blown up to a much larger size. Mercedes is surely going to hit us with some new out-there features we didnÂ’t know we wanted and may not even use, but thatÂ’s the way it goes with excessive luxury. The gauge cluster is pretty standard for new Mercedes with a flat digital screen. An “EQ” emblem displayed in the cluster also indicates that Mercedes plans to implement its EQ Boost mild-hybrid tech with the turbocharged engine(s) offered in this new generation. The current car comes in S560 (V8) and S600 (V12) variations. We don't know what MercedesÂ’ powertrain plans are for the time being, but the GLS 600 uses 48-volt technology with its 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and makes 550 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque. Ideally, the smooth and silky V12 sticks around in the top-shelf S-Class as well. As for the design, itÂ’s exactly what one might expect from a Mercedes-Maybach. The wheelbase is stretched compared to the regular S-Class weÂ’ve spied before, and it has the signature slatted grille. Pop-out door handles appear to be carried over from the new S-Class, too. We expect the new S-Class isnÂ’t far from a reveal. ThereÂ’s a chance it still breaks cover this year, even as most automakers face delays from the coronavirus. Once itÂ’s out, the Mercedes-Maybach is likely to follow soon after. Related video:
Autoblog Unplugged: 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG
Fri, Feb 6 2015Mercedes-Benz's AMG division entered new territory in late 2013 with the launch of the CLA45, an all-wheel-drive sedan (with front-wheel-drive underpinnings) motivated by a turbocharged, four-cylinder engine. But it wasn't any old turbo-four – the boosted 2.0-liter powerplant claimed the title of most powerful production four-cylinder engine. From behind the wheel, we loved its turbo-heavy antics and steer-it-with-the-throttle dynamics. Now, Mercedes offers the GLA-Class – a small crossover based on that CLA architecture. And rather than just leave it alone in GLA250 guise, the AMG folks created the tiny-tough GLA45 high-riding hatch you see here. It's got the same 355-horsepower, 332-pound-feet turbo-four underhood, a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and a unique sound that's unlike anything you might expect from a small CUV. That's why we took to some of our favorite backroads to capture another Autoblog Unplugged video with the GLA45. There's no talking, no music, no rizzle-razzle – just shots of the GLA45 driving down our favorite winding roads with nothing but the sweet, throaty sounds of the AMG powerplant. Good luck holding back your giggles when you hear the braaap of a quick gear-change. Mercedes-Benz Crossover Luxury Performance Videos mercedes gla-class mercedes gla45 amg
