You are bidding on a rare black interior and black exterior 1985 Mercedes Benz 300D Turbo; I say rare because I've had it for over ten years and although I see many of these cars in Los Angeles I have never seen another one black on black. 

I'm told that 1985 was the last year they made this model so it goes without saying that it was built best in its class.
 
The car is in great working condition, the engine has full power, the starter is powerful and been replaced about a year ago or so.

Newly rebuilt automatic transmission, less than a year old, it runs great and shifts smoothly.

I've repaired the driver side front seat, it was old and ripped.

New front brake rotors and pads about 4 months old, they sometimes make a squeaking sound but the mechanic says it's because they are fairly new rotors and pads and the sound should go away soon with some wear and tear but please don't take my word. 

Brand new Michelin tires, about a few months old or so but driven about 1000 miles on them; I basically changed the tires but then decided to not spend any more money on the car and bought a new car.

The heater does not blow hot air but it never has and I never fixed it since I do not need it in Los Angeles.

The air conditioning is not cold enough in my opinion.

I've repaired all four window gears because at one time they each got stuck with the window staying down; the driver side back window is making noise and not going down.

Typical old car scratches and minor dings here and there on the paint, please see pictures.

The sunroof works just fine but at the end of opening or closing the sunroof it makes a gear like roaring sound; but again it closes and opens just fine.

I've always asked the mechanics to use original MBZ parts and paid extra for them to just make sure I get everything in a good working condition; that includes the proper oil changes and filters.

I've had this car for over 10 years, about 8 of those years on average I drove it about 6 miles per day during the week; it's been a great car so far but I have to drive farther and longer distances now so I bought a new car and it is time for this one to go.

The buyer will be responsible to inspect the car in person, pick it up in person and pay for it in cash.

Feel free to ask me questions, I'll be happy to answer whatever I can.

CES 2022 was huge for EVs | Autoblog Podcast #711

Fri, Jan 7 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder. CES took place this week, and there were some nice electric surprises from automakers, especially General Motors. John has been driving the Ram 1500 Power Wagon, as well as what seems to be its polar opposite, the electric Mini Cooper SE. Greg talks about the differences between the Acura TLX A-Spec long-termer (which is back in the shop) and the Type S loaner that's filling in for it. John's also got some interesting thoughts on leather interiors. Finally, the editors reach into the mailbag and help a repeat customer decide on a suitable replacement for a 2008 Lexus GX 470 in this week's Spend My Money segment.

Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept crossover leaked ahead of Shanghai debut

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

With just a few days left before the start of the Shanghai Motor Show, images of the Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept compact crossover have emerged online. The little 'ute is based on the small A-Class hatchback, and though it shares an identical wheelbase, is larger in every other dimension.
Looking like a rough-and-tumble five-door hatchback on the tippy toes of its 20-inch wheels, the GLA is most certainly destined for production in a toned down form that will borrow many bits and pieces from other cars based on this platform like the aforementioned A-Class and the CLA-Class sedan. Carscoop reports that the production version of the GLA will be revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September of this year, with sales to the public starting in 2014.
Since it's based on the A-Class, we expect that the production GLA-Class will be powered by your choice of Mercedes' 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine and a diesel or two, and will offer transmissions that include the company's seven-speed DCT and perhaps a six-speed manual (at least in Europe). If the GLA follows the same path as the two cars before it, expect a GLA45 AMG producing over 300 horsepower, as well. As for what powers the GLA Concept, that just might remain a mystery until the vehicle is officially revealed in China.
