1987 MERCEDES BENZ 300TD Turbo Diesel Wagon
Up for auction is a 1987 Mercedes 300 TD. I purchased this from the original owner, who was a Mercedes collector. He was about to retire to Florida and was selling his cars. I jumped at the chance to own one of these fabled 300 wagons with the best 6 cylinder diesel engine ever made. Shortly after buying it, I moved out to a rural location and found that I needed a 4x4 and the 300 has been in covered storage since. I think it's time to let it go so it can be out on the road, where it wants to be!
The vehicle is in very good shape for it's age, inside and out. Most people can't believe it's an '87. A few tiny dings and scratches to be seen from up close. The paint is in good shape; no fading or chipping. No visible rust at the jack points or on the body. Automatic transmission shifts smoothly. A couple of issues to mention: The original Becker radio is not displaying one of the numbers of the radio station correctly. The tiny wipers on the headlights don't work but I didn't find any '87s with those working. Since taking it out of storage, the power radio antenna and the driver's window are not working. If you hold the window switch and put your hand on the window itself, you can help it up and down. Seems like something is not catching correctly in the door because the glass starts to move a bit on it's own and then stops. All other windows and the sunroof work fine, so I assume it's not a vacuum issue.
I put a brand new battery in when I purchased the car and i also bought 2 service manuals and an all season car cover. There are the original MB rubber floor mats throughout, including the rear cargo area. There is a 3rd row of rear facing seats that fold out from the floor of the cargo area. Comes with 4 additional snow tires mounted on MB rims! Also, some random engine and interior parts the last owner had in his shop and gave to me. The engine was replaced at around 150 thousand. He didn't have the exact number. He said that the new engine has the 2nd generation head, which is the sought after one. He was a MB guy, so all work was done by Mercedes techs.
The winner will arrange to pick up the car within a week of the auction's ending date at my place in MA, 80 minutes from Boston, 45 minutes from Amherst, 40 minutes from Greenfield. Payment can be made at the time of pickup in cash, or pre-paid by bank transfer. All sales are final, no returns. Please ask all questions and/or come check it out before you bid. Bid with total confidence; look at my 15+ years of perfect feedback as a seller. Have fun and good luck!

Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA gets official ahead of Shanghai
Thu, 18 Apr 2013Mercedes-Benz has something special planned for the Shanghai Motor Show - a new CUV concept that we first saw when it leaked on the internet yesterday. The GLA Concept compact crossover will hit the show stand with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque mated to a seven-speed dual clutch transmission and 4Matic all-wheel drive, and likely previews a new production model that we've already spotted testing.
That's not news, but the laser-based headlamps with video-projecting capability certainly are. Mercedes-Benz says the array can project any image or video onto a screen, which is handy since there are a pair of HD cameras mounted to the roof rack. The cameras can be removed and taken with you on all sorts of adventures. The lamps also feature a visible cooling system comprised of a series of fans, and the system helps give the headlights their "sparkle" effect.
Step indoors and the GLA offers up the interior of a high-quality crossover, complete with contrasting leather and plenty of aluminum. The automaker says the cabin was inspired by saddle craftsmanship with "more than 65 feet of hand-stitched seams to hold the raw edges of the leather together."
AMG-powered Aston Martins still years away
Mon, 16 Sep 2013After flirting for several years, Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin have finally tied the knot. Just don't expect to see any offspring to result from the union for at least three or four years.
This according to Auto Express, which spoke with Daimler chief Dr. Dieter Zetsche at the Frankfurt Motor Show last week. AE reports that a new range of AMG-developed turbocharged V8s, transmissions and electrical components will make their way into the successors to the current V8 Vantage and DB9, but that these models are still a few years off.
Purists might balk at the thought of a Mercedes-powered Aston holding true to the brand's heritage. But while David Brown (for whom the DB range is named) may have steered clear of shoehorning in Detroit muscle into his cars, the entirety of the company's current range is powered by engines borrowing technology from Ford, and that arrangement seems to have worked well for Aston until now. And if you're still skeptical, look no further than Pagani and its AMG-sourced engines and you should have all the proof you need that the new relationship between Daimler and Aston could be a success.
Mercedes-Benz to build new ML coupe-crossover in Alabama in 2015
Fri, 05 Sep 2014Mercedes-Benz will expand its factory in Tuscaloosa, AL, to build the ML Coupe, a new crossover that will join its lineup in 2015. Mercedes will also ramp up production to build facelifted versions of the M-Class and GL-Class SUVs, lifting the factory's total production capacity to about 300,000 units annually in 2015. It made 185,000 vehicles in 2013. In addition to SUVs, the Tuscaloosa site also makes the C-Class sedan.
The plans come as part of Mercedes' strategy to capitalize on Americans' increasing demands for SUVs. The company said the SUV market was up 12 percent in first half of 2014, and expects it to grow at twice the rate of the regular market in 2015 and 2016.
"We are seeing climbing demand for SUVs." - Dieter Zetsche
