A really nice Mercedes 300SD Turbodiesel.  All records since 2000.  I've owned since 2006 and have always kept up with all maintenance.  Some upgrades: repainted about 3 years ago, new replica wheels, replaced taillight lenses (they get yellowed on old Benzes), new Becker MB Stereo with CD player.  Everything is current (fluids, battery, brakes, tires). A/C works. These are incredible cars and it doesn't run a bit differently from when I bought it in 2006.  Some of these diesels shift hard, but this one shifts very smoothly and the steering is tight.


Squawks: odometer quit working about 6 mos ago, I never fixed because my Tech said it was not reasonable to do it, something about a plastic gear that wears down after 30 years and all those miles and hard to find a replacement.  Miles don't matter that much to me anyways.  I've put at least 100k on the car and like I said it runs exactly the same.  There is a spot of rust on the driver door, and the paint job is pretty cheap--Earl Scheib or something like that, but the car looks great and I felt it was unreasonable to spend $7k plus on a really good paint job for a 30 year old car that isn't worth that much.  Engine leaks some oil.  I think this is fairly typical with an older diesel. It always has leaked some.  It's just something I live with.  Not a big deal.  You can have the engine steam cleaned and have a tech chase down the leaks, but again, probably not worth it. 

Just a great car.  The only reason I'm selling it is that I have another similar W126 Mercedes and am just simplifying and reducing my possessions. 23.9 MPG in regular, city driving and 30 MPG on the highway.  A great Biodiesel conversion car, too.  I've never done that but am told these old Benzes run really well on Biodiesel or cooking oil.

Carlsson SLK 340 Judd is winged up for hill climb glory

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Carlsson has been expertly tuning Mercedes-Benz products for more than 20 years now, but we can't say as we remember the outfit turning out anything quite so racy as this SLK 340 Judd that it has brought along to the Geneva Motor Show this year.
This SLK is meant for competition, obviously, and Carlsson has already booked the car to race in several hill climb events in the E1 category. The purpose-built racer should have a fighting chance to do well in said races, with a shape vetted in wind tunnel testing for maximum downforce, the SLK uses a carbon-fiber bodyshell to help achieve a curb weight of just about 1,720 pounds.
The featherweight SLK's name comes from its 3.4-liter V8 engine, which churns out a wicked 610 horsepower to go with its 317 pound-feet of torque. A Hewland transmission with paddle shift operation manages all of the thrust.

Next Mercedes-AMG E63 to produce around 600 hp

Thu, Aug 13 2015

"Sources" have told Autocar that the coming Mercedes-AMG E63 will get "something in the range of" 600 horsepower from a "next step" development of the 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V8 currently in the C63 sedan. Since the standard E-Class isn't due for introduction until the 2016 Detroit Motor show, we're probably a year away from finding out if "something in the range of" actually means a square 600 hp when the car the AMG E63 is revealed. Right now the E63 S is powered by a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 it shares that engine with the CLS63, S63, SL63, and G63, and all but the G63 get 577 hp from that engine. The 4.0-liter V8 in the C63 S is rated at 503 hp in the S model, the same as the dry-sump version of that engine that gets 503 hp in the AMG GT. Point being the jump to 600 hp isn't outrageous, and would keep up with the numbers rumored for the next BMW M5. New turbos will likely be responsible for much of that power, with AMG's powertrain chief having told Road & Track that the present turbos are doing all the work they were designed for. Depending on where the much lighter AMG GT3 road car comes in, the next AMG E63 should be the most powerful V8 model in the range. There'll be plenty of other doodads besides, like a new nine-speed automatic, 84-LED adaptive headlights, remote controlled parking, smartphone-activated NFC-based unlock and vehicle start, Vehicle-to-X communication, adaptive cruise control that recognizes speed limit signs, and a massive advance in the suite of Mercedes Intelligent Driving features.
