Purchase used ’84 Mercedes Non Turbo Manual 300D Euro Spec Gray Market in Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States

Advertising:

This amazing car was vandalized on New Years Eve and I have been debating all this time about selling. I have come to the conclusion that I must. It is still a great car, but now it will need a front and rear windshield, both the passenger windows, grill, and headlight glass. The lights themselves are still working. I went out today after she had been sitting covered for 3 months through winter and she started on the 1st try. I drove her around one last time in the neighborhood. I Love this car and she was my daily driver, but she needs someone who can fix her. Pictures of the glass were taken on the morning after, so the broken glass has been cleaned up.

This is the description & pictures I was going to use before it was vandalized & the after pics as well. The inside was not vandalized so it still looks like the pics. The only damage was to the back right passenger window trim which was dented so it will need to be opened up a bit to allow the glass to move freely. This car is being sold as is.

This is a Gray Market Mercedes 300D with a manual 4 Speed transmission, non turbo. Gray Market means it was originally sold in Germany for the European market then imported to the US by an individual. The VIN is WDB1231301A019864 and is currently insured with State Farm. The smaller front and back bumpers are a dead give a way too. I purchased it from the son of the original owner. His father imported it for his German born wife in 1984 who wanted a “German” car. I have taken 77 pictures to give you a good idea of the overall condition and it also has some killer BBS rims. It is in great condition for its age mechanically and the interior is really in great shape. It does leak a little oil and it does have a few rust stops, but crazy fun to drive. Odometer reads 118K, but it has not worked right for about 7 months. Title in hand. All the following electronics work; lights, blinkers, radio, wipers, front driver’s / passenger windows, sunroof, fuel, temp, and oil pressure gauges. Both back windows are manual and work fine, but the driver side handle needs to be replaced. It works in its current state though. Heater works like the German’s intended, warm and toasty. All speeds on blower motor work great as do the position settings. Not working; Odometer works from time to time, gauge cluster light, both of these are notorious for going out and are relatively cheap fixes, and the AC. The doors do not lock automatically with the vacuum system, but do work fine with the key. Recent Work done by a Mercedes Mechanic; Clutch Master and Slave cylinder both replaced New Alternator Brush pack New Alternator belt, power steering belt, and AC belt. Bosch Battery less than 3 months old and very nice BBS Rims. I have done my best to describe in detail the condition of the car, but please feel free to ask questions. It is being sold as is because of its age knowing it will continue to need TLC.

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.

Mercedes-Benz releases US-spec 2014 Sprinter details

Mon, 06 May 2013

Last week, Mercedes-Benz released the details for the updated 2013 Sprinter intended for global markets, but this week it has announced what changes are being made to the US-spec version of the van for the 2014 model year, including the Freightliner model. As expected, most of the changes made to the European model will be present on the 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter when it goes on sale in the US, which is expected to be this fall.
The biggest difference between the Sprinter announced last week and the one headed to our shores is what is found under the hood. While European Sprinters will come with diesel engines and offer the availability of a supercharged four-cylinder gasoline or CNG engine, US Sprinters will still offer the 3.0-liter V6 BlueTEC diesel. This year's Sprinter now comes standard with a new base engine, the 2.1-liter four-cylinder BlueTEC diesel. This smaller engine will produce 161 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque, and will be paired to a seven-speed automatic transmission; the optional 3.0 V6 puts out 188 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, and will be mated to a six-speed auto.
Fuel economy for the new Sprinter has not been announced, but Mercedes-Benz has made numerous changes with the goal of improving efficiency. To this end you'll find a new, low-friction rear axle and the optimization for the generator, fuel pump and power steering pump.

Daimler and Geely collaborate to develop 'a highly efficient modular engine'

Wed, Nov 18 2020

BERLIN — GermanÂ carÂ maker Daimler said on Tuesday it will cooperate with China's Geely to build next-generation combustion engines for use in hybrid vehicles. Efforts to share development costs come as the growth potential for combustion engines faces the twin threat of the COVID-19 crisis and stricter fuel-efficiency and emission rules. "The companies plan to develop a highly efficient modular engine," a spokesman for Daimler said, adding that it would be used in hybrid drivetrains and manufactured in Europe and China. Geely declined to comment. The modular engine will be used inÂ cars under different marques at Geely and Daimler, a person familiar with the matter said on condition of anonymity as the companies are still in the early stages of developing the engine. News of the alliance was a surprise to Daimler's works council at its factory in Untertuerkheim, which specializes in electric and gasoline powertrain assembly. "We are speechless. There was not even a discussion about potential alternative manufacturing locations," said Michael Haeberle, the works council chief for Untertuerkheim. "We have the ability to build four-cylinder engines in Untertuerkheim, but there were no talks about it." Daimler said German factories will be retooled gradually to add electric drivetrains production. Most of the next-generation combustion engines will be made in China, business daily Handelsblatt reported. The alliance with Geely, which owns a 9.69% stake in Stuttgart-based Daimler, means that parts of Daimler's existing partnership with Renault could be pared back. A Renault source told Reuters that the Daimler-Geely project does not mean an end of cooperation between Daimler and Renault. Citing Daimler sources, Handelsblatt said the Daimler-Geely pact would save the GermanÂ carmaker a "triple-digit million sum" Â— implying an amount above 100 million euros ($119 million) and less than 1 billion euros.
