1995 Mercedes 300d 209k Miles on 2040-cars
Port Charlotte, Florida, United States
1995 Mercedes 300D 209k miles White, with rare grey leather interior, converted to run on
WVO or diesel. This car is non running, so needs to be towed from its
current location in FL 33981 So here is the good. This car was my daily driver till the ip quit. Then I
decided to go through everything and I started out with replacing all glow
plugs. While they were out I checked compression, the values were 380 to 400
PSI all across. Next I installed new Bozio injectors for $450 Then my job relocated me to Seattle and I had to stop working on it. The car originally came form Los Angeles and I bought it in
the Midwest. So it has no rust besides some superficial. Its paint is original
and still quite nice but will need a good wax. The body is straight and never
been in an accident while I owned it or that I can tell. It has a hitch and I
towed my jet ski with it. Would not want to tow anything large with this car.
The interior is very clean with only a few blemishes. Tranny shifts like it
should, and the tires are also still decent all around. The bad, as I said earlier it needs to be towed from its
current location. And there are a few things missing. Like the gas tank and
maybe a bolt or bracket. I tried to keep everything together, but a few minor
things might have gone missing. Just want to point that out. To bring it back to running condition will require a gas
tank and a ip installed and a few odds and ends so it should not be too big of
a project for somebody who knows how to work on these older Mercedes. Please note that at time of pick up the payment will be in
cash and the car is sold as is. The only form of payment accepted will be cash. Upon auction winning
please send via paypal $200.00 within 1 day
which is non refundable but credited towards purchase price. Pickup of
the car must be within 5 days unless other arrangements are made with me via
phone conversation. Remainder payable in cash upon picking up of the car. If there are any questions please feel free to contact me
and I will try to answer as clear and accurate as possible. Please also look at
the pics closely as to its condition. Also the car can be inspected prior to auction end at any
time. Just make arrangements with me ahead of time. Happy bidding J |

Recharge Wrap-up: Shift to offer Teslas for Hire, Model S P85D beats Ferrari in drag race
Mon, Dec 15 2014A company called Shift plans to provide bikes and EVs for hire. Based in Las Vegas, NV, Shift will provide chauffeured ride services like Uber, but will also include a car- and bike-sharing service that delivers the desired wheels to the customer. Shift's fleet will include EVs like the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive and the Tesla Model S. Shift also promises that you will, "Be on your way within five minutes," which is a pretty tall order. Shift is scheduled to be available to members beginning this fall. Read more at The Car Connection. Nissan UK has confirmed the price of replacement batteries for the Leaf. UK drivers will be able to buy new batteries for 4,920 pounds (or about $7,738). That's considerably more than the price of $5,499 for US customers. Customers get 1,000 pounds back when they exchange their old battery. The original battery is covered under a five-year, 60,000-mile warranty, and most owners will never need to replace it. According to Nissan, only three replacement batteries have been sold out of 30,000 Leafs sold in Europe. Read more at Autocar. The Tesla Model S P85D walloped a Ferrari in an impromptu drag race video. The Ferrari driver pulls up alongside the Tesla and asks, "What you got in there?" before challenging him to a race. The Ferrari gets a head start, but the Tesla pulls out ahead quickly. The video also gets the reactions of some passengers to the car's mighty acceleration. See the video below and read the account of a drag race against a Lamborghini Aventador at Car Throttle. Australian website Drive has chosen their Cars of the Year in various categories. The Tesla Model S was a carryover winner for Luxury Car Over $80,000, but the Mercedes-Benz C200 narrowly overtook it to be crowned the overall winner. Regarding the Model S, one judge says, "This makes every other EV look at least a generation behind." The main thing that held the Tesla back from winning outright was the near-term lack of charging infrastructure. The judges did note Tesla's plans to build a network of Superchargers in Australia, but also pointed out that those plans exclude much of the country so far.

Regulators consider adding more carmakers to Takata recall
Tue, Sep 29 2015Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has been getting a lot of press recently, but the Takata airbag inflator affair could be grabbing headlines again soon. According to Bloomberg, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is contemplating an expansion to the campaign that could add seven automakers to the 12 already affected. They are Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Spartan Motors, Suzuki, Tesla, Volvo Trucks, and VW Group. To be clear, there's no recall for any of these automakers, yet. The government is simply asking for a full list of vehicles that each of them have with Takata-supplied inflators containing ammonium nitrate propellant. The agency is concerned this substance could play a roll in the ruptures. "NHTSA is considering not only whether to issue an administrative order that would coordinate the remedy programs associated with the current Takata recalls, but also whether such an order should include expansion of the current recalls," the letters say. All seven can be viewed, here. From a report supplied by Takata, the government already knows that the company supplied 887,055 inflators with ammonium-nitrate propellant to VW and 184,926 of them to Tesla. In an incident during the summer, a side airbag allegedly burst in a 2015 VW Tiguan. In early September, NHTSA put out a revised report that there were 23.4 million inflators to be replaced in 19.2 million vehicles in the US. An earlier accounting from the agency had about 34 million of the parts in 30 million cars. High humidity is still believed to be among the biggest risk factors for the ruptures. Although, if ammonium nitrate also gets the blame, some already recalled models might need to be repaired again. Related Video:
UK workers strand car on island of asphalt to keep working
Wed, 06 Feb 2013Generally speaking, when you illegally park your car, you're likely to get ticketed and towed, but there is probably at least one motorist in Scotland who wishes that was the case. After workers had blocked off a portion of the parking lot for the Edinburgh Waverley railway station, the driver of this Mercedes-Benz S-Class reportedly moved some of the barriers to park in one of the empty spots.
Rather than having the vehicle towed, the work crew simply tore up the asphalt around the leaving just the one parking spot intact, and as you can see in the image above (posted to the Twitter account of Harold Norstad), the crew even built a small asphalt ramp so the car could get off its blacktop pedestal. Since this happened last week, there's no word as to whether the car was eventually moved or towed for the resurfacing work to continue.
Let this be a warning...
