Up for sale is my 1982 Mercedes Benz 300 TD. I bought this car back in August 2012, the car had some minor front driver side damage that needed to be addressed. Before purchasing I immediately took the car to a body/frame repair shop for inspection, after they gave me the all clear that there was not any frame damage I bought the car. Once I had the car I began working on the car here is a list of all the new and used parts that were put on the car: Hood, Fender, Headlights, Fog lights, Headlight plastics, AC condenser, Auxiliary Fan, Auxiliary Fan Shroud, New Radiator, Chrome Grill Ring, Mercedes Emblem and New Grill Insert. 


After body work was complete there were a few other repairs made to get the windows working, turn signals working, and emergency flashers working. All of which were an easy fix because these Mercedes are really easy to work on. Parts to fix those included a new emergency flasher switch, and new turn signal/ wiper controller. When I bought the car it didn't have a radio and I never put one in however it looks like all the wires are there. Then the carpet and interior was taken out and deep cleaned, all of it cleaned up very well as you can see by the pictures. 

All the engine needed was new fluids, valve adjustment, and it was ready to go! I drove the car back and forth from work on a daily basis and never had any issues. The car is originally from Arizona and literally has no rust to my knowledge. The car's rims were taken off and painted, then the tires were mounted and balanced. The tires have plenty of life left in them and have no issues with holding air. 

The car could use a new windshield since the one on it is cracked. The power locks on the car do not work, but I believe I have that problem narrowed down to a leaky air valve in the drivers door panel. The back passenger window does not work, not sure why since it did work before?? Cruise control has never worked however I believe that is known to be a big problem with these cars, plus I never needed it so I never looked into what the problem might be, could be an easy fix don't know for sure. The AC has never been recharged since I replaced the AC condenser (never tried since its winter and did not need the AC). Heater works great and everything else is working on the car. 

The car gets great gas mileage (30+mpg) and runs very smooth. The suspicion is great and the seats are very comfortable. The interior is in amazing condition as you can see by the pictures, although the dash does have some cracking on the very top and the armrest in the front has some cracking. If you have any questions about the car please let me know will be happy to answer before bidding. Please give me a call on my cell at 479-466-2803 between 9am-9pm cst. Also if there are any other pictures you would like please let me know and I will try to get them to you in a timely manner. Happy bidding!!! Thanks Andrew

Please note this car is listed locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early due to local sale. Thanks!

Boston bombers were tracked using Mercedes mbrace [w/video]

Sun, 28 Apr 2013

We now know Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the two brothers said to be behind the Boston Marathon bombings, planned to head for New York City to detonate more improvised explosive devices. As it turns out, that plan was foiled by the quick thinking of one Mercedes-Benz owner, diligent police work and the Mercedes-Benz mbrace system. When the brothers carjacked a 26-year-old Chinese entrepreneur identified only as "Danny," they didn't realize his Mercedes-Benz M-Class was equipped with the mbrace system, which can call for help in the event of an accident or track the vehicle in the event of a theft.
According to reports, the Tsarnaev brothers held Danny hostage for nearly 90 minutes while they drove around Boston forming a plan until they had to stop for fuel. When one of the brothers went inside to pay, the other put his gun down for a moment. Danny took the opportunity to unlatch his seat belt, open the door and run to another nearby gas station, where he told the owner to call the police.
When police arrived, they used the mbrace system to track the SUV after receiving Danny's permission, and it wasn't long before a shootout between police and the brothers ensued. When it was over, the eldest brother lay dead in the street. For more on the story, view the video report available below.

New Die Hard movie wrecked 132 cars in $11 million chase scene [w/video]

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

It would seem the act of dying hard brings with it lots of wanton destruction of the four-wheeled kind. According to John Moore, director of A Good Day To Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again. Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there... That's the fun of it."
Please join us in one great big collective sigh. Done? Okay, let's continue.
"With Die Hard it's about how audacious the action is," says Moore. "So you have to drive over a Lamborghini. An actual one. And yes it hurts me. I'm a car fanatic." Yeah. Sounds like it hurt really bad... though not as bad as the final tally after all the carnage had been counted: "Someone showed me the numbers on the car chase and soup to nuts, you put it all together it was like an $11 million sequence."

Weekly Recap: Toyota propels hydrogen fuel cells

Sat, Jan 10 2015

Toyota is serious about hydrogen fuel cells, and it wants the auto industry to follow suit. The Japanese automaker said this week it's releasing 5,680 fuel cell patents from around the world, including technologies used on its upcoming sedan, the 2016 Mirai. The move is unusual, but not unprecedented, as Tesla similarly released its electric vehicle patents last year. The idea for Tesla, and now for Toyota, is to spur development of alternative propulsion. "By eliminating traditional corporate boundaries, we can speed the development of new technologies and move into the future of mobility more quickly, effectively and economically," said Bob Carter, Toyota Motor Sales senior vice president of automotive operations, in a statement. Toyota's fuel cell patents will be free to use through 2020, though patents related to producing and selling hydrogen will remain open forever. Toyota said it would like companies that use its patents to share their own hydrogen patents, but won't require it. "What Toyota's doing is really a logical move, and really a good move for the industry," Devin Lindsay, principal powertrain analyst with IHS Automotive, told Autoblog. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It comes as Toyota prepares to launch the hydrogen-powered Mirai in a limited number late this year in California. The launch will be extended to the Northeastern United States next year. Toyota also has announced plans to support networks of fueling stations in each region to try to smooth consumer adoption. The Mirai has a 300-mile range on a tank of hydrogen, and it takes about five minutes to refill. Fuel cells have been receiving increased attention recently, and Audi and Volkswagen debuted hydrogen-powered cars at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Honda, another proponent of the technology, also showed its updated FCV concept in November in Japan. The company, however, has delayed its fuel cell sedan a year until 2016. Like Toyota, Honda says its hydrogen-powered car will have a range of 300 miles or more. Meanwhile, Hyundai currently offers leases for fuel-cell powered Tucsons, which have a 265-mile range, in Southern California. Despite the optimism some automakers have for fuel cells, the technology still faces barriers. A lack of filling stations has long held it back, and many consumers are not familiar with the potential benefits.
