1986 Mercedes Benz 300SDL Diesel. 
Great to convert to Bio-diesel.

I bought the car from my Father-in-law, hoping to try my hand at bio-diesel. Since my wife and I have a young son, we have decided to get a small travel trailer. I have too many autos and one must go, so it is this one. My Father-in-law got the car from Mercedes of OKC and was told he was the second owner, so I am the third. The reason it shows four owners is that my in laws got divorced and it transferred from my mother in law to father in law.  

First of all what has been done to it recently: 
NEW GLOW PLUGS - Mercedes charges $1000 alone to do this.
NEW BATTERY
NEW TIRES ON ALL 4 WHEELS
OIL AND FILTER CHANGE
AIR FILTER 
WINDSHIELD WIPERS
NEW SEAL ON DIESEL FUEL THERMOSTAT
SOME FUEL LINES REPLACED
NEW FUEL FILTER

The front and rear seats power adjustments all work. 

I drove the car about 50 miles last week at 80 mph and it ran great for an old diesel and the ride was smooth. When I pushed the accelerator down, the car responded and really moved down the road. It hauls butt.

Now the rough part of the car. I am trying to list everything. I have not had the car long.
Right side lower plastic panel is slightly bent and scratched, paint on trunk and roof is needing repainting - since in OK - only small rock chip spots rusting - as you can see from the photos -  it looks pretty good though, truck lock will not lock, radio taken out, needs new antenna, driver and passenger cushion cover needs work, back seat top of lean back splitting, driver lean back cover needs work, blower motor works - but ac is not working, sunroof tilts up and down - but does not slide. The interior has rough things here and there. I tried to cover as much of the car in the photos as I could.  

I do not have the original ignition keys. I had keys made from the emergency key.  The emergency key is the original. My in laws has several newer Mercedes they drove. They moved before I got the car, and the keys got misplaced in the move.

My Father-in-law said the motor was rebuilt in 2000 at Mercedes of OKC. About 100,000 miles ago. 

In about 2002 My father in law was in an accident. The windshield, hood, both front fenders and bumper was replaced and repainted the factory color. No frame damage. You can not tell that the work was done. The body work was performed at a body shop recommended by Mercedes of OKC.

I have owned the car myself for about 6 months and have only driven about 100 miles.

This car was about $43,000 when new in 1986. A Mercedes shop told me the engine alone is worth about $4000. NADA shows low end of the car is about $6000. The starting bid is well below the $4000.

The car is not perfect or mint. The price would be higher if it was. Not bad for 27 years old. 

I have the car listed locally too. If I sell locally before I get a bid, I will end the auction early. If there is a bid on the car, I will sell it to the highest bidder. 

I will not give you a signed paid receipt and title until it is paid for.
Please email me if you have any questions.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.

Mercedes warms up the SLC

Sat, Jun 6 2015

The Mercedes-Benz SLC moniker was once thought to be revived for the vehicle that became the Mercedes-AMG GT, but the German luxury brand is now rumored to use the name for its upcoming refresh for the SLK. Our spies recently snapped some shots of the updated hardtop convertible testing while not wearing much camouflage. These photos suggest not to expect any significant changes in styling for the refreshed SLK. The lower portion of the front bumper has a single center opening, and the grille gets the latest iteration of Mercedes' single-bar design. The camouflage offers more concealment at the rear, but there's clearly something to hide. The exhausts are better incorporated in the shape, as well. Mercedes is also expected to update the SLK's powertrains with the refresh into the SLC. There could be an AMG Sport version to slot between the regular model and full-bore AMG. Like the C450 AMG Sport, this one might use the brand's 3.0-liter, twin-turbo V6 with 362 horsepower. Related Video:
