I am listing my friend's 240D for him so here is his description. I am selling my very, nice condition, 1979 Mercedes Benz 240D with many interesting options. EXTERIOR The body and paint are in superb shape. The car was painted an original Signal Red color to a high standard, but it was originally white. There is no evidence of the original white paint. The door strikers have some light overspray on them. The car was also color sanded and buffed and looks fantastic, dare to say better than an original paint one. All the aluminum trim is in excellent condition and the glass is original Mercedes. The windshield and windshield seal were replaced. The corner lights and original plastic head light surrounds are in fine condition and the tail lights are perfect with no cracks. The bumpers are the rare European ones both front and rear and are in very nice shape with no rust or dents. Even the rubber corners are not cracked or ripped. The front grille is not cracked or bent and the chrome is in super shape. The rims are the correct 240D ones that are all dated correctly including the original spare rim. The hub caps are straight and not damaged and painted the Signal Red to match. The white wall tires are new as well, and all wheels run true and are balanced. The car still has its original blue and yellow california plates too! INTERIOR Overall the interior is in excellent shape. The color is a less common reddish brown. The seats are firm with no rips or sags. The headliner is tight and not ripped or marked up or dirty. The door panels are original and in very nice shape too with no rips or marks. The dash has a few cracks. The carpets are original with no tears or fading. Steering wheel is tight with no damage either. The wood is good with a small chipped off part next to the emergency switch. The gauges all work and are accurate, even the clock works. The odometer reads 208,696 TRUNK The trunk is in immaculate condition. The trunk liners are like new with no marks or even dirt. The wooden board above the spare tire is not warped and all the paint in the spare tire is excellent. The car comes with the original Mercedes jack and lug wrench. The spare tire is nearly new. The original grey carpet is also in fine condition. ENGINE/ MECHANICAL The engine runs very well and I have maintained it regularly with all receipts. When faced with the option of a German part or a lesser Chinese version, I always chose the correct brand. The injection pump was adjusted to have a bit more power and the throttle linkage stopping point lengthened in order to have a little more power too. These small details allowed my 240D to accelerate more like a 5 cylinder 300D. This car is drives nicely on the freeway with no shaking and good power when getting up to merging speed. Transmission was serviced and does not slip. Kick down works and the shift bushings are in good shape too. I had the engine and underside de-greased then drove it in order to find any leaks and fix them. The engine compartment was then detailed as well. It is in superb condition. The air cleaner mounts and bracket were replace, the belts, power steering pump re-built, radiator flushed and block back flushed, new glow plugs, Diesel purge to the engine, new air cleaner, fuel filters ( both ), replaced the fuel hose, replaced the flex disc, brakes are new(er), replaced the battery. The car came with air conditioning but is not working now. Central door locking does not work but each door lock individually. Heat works fine. DETAILS The car has current registration and has a clean California title in my name. One key fits all locks as per original. The car is very clean throughout, very clean, and is a real pleasure to drive. The car is located in Los Angeles, and you are welcome, in fact, encouraged to come test drive/ inspect the car. Deposit of $750 is required within 48 hours of the close of the auction, the balance to be paid within 5 days of the close of the auction. I can help with the loading of the car should you want to ship it. The car is to be picked up no later than 10 days after the close of the auction, I do no have the room. You can fly in to LA and drive it home with confidence. I drive my car regularly and keep it in great running condition. |

Porsche tops JD Power APEAL study for 12th time
Wed, Jul 27 2016JD Power's 2016 Automotive Performance, Execution, and Layout (APEAL) study hasn't changed much this time around with Porsche coming in at No.1 for the 12th consecutive year, while BMW was close behind in second. Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz tied for third with Land Rover, Lexus, and Lincoln tied for No.5. The APEAL Study, according to JD Power, measures owners' level of excitement and emotional attachment across 77 parameters. Brands and cars are rated on a 1,000-point scale. The study found that new cars with modern safety features including low speed collision avoidance and blind spot monitoring have higher APEAL scores than vehicles without the features. The overall industry score increased from 798 to 801, which JD Power claims was helped by the launch of a variety of new vehicles. This year, 22 out of 30 new or redesigned cars received a higher score than the vehicle's respective segment average. Porsche is once again at the top of the list as the automaker's score increased by three points to 877. BMW outscored Jaguar to take second place with a score of 859, while the British automaker dropped three points from last year with 852 points. Volkswagen overtook Mini to become the top-ranked non-premium brand with 809 points, while the latter automaker trailed behind by one point. At the end of the scale, Smart came in at the very bottom for the second year in a row with a score of 745 points, which represents an increase of 62 points over last year. Fiat's score increased by six points to 755, but still confined the automaker to second-to-worst place for a consecutive year. Mitsubishi's score increased to 770, up from 755, to become the fourth-worst brand, while Jeep fell to third-worst with a decrease in seven points to 756. General Motors received six segment-level awards, followed by Hyundai with five, and BMW and VW earning four apiece. Surprise segment victories include the Chevrolet Camaro, which outscored the Dodge Challenger, and the Lexus RC which ranked above the BMW 4 and 3 Series. For more information on how the automakers ranked, check out the official release on the 2016 APEAL Study below or visit JD Power's website to analyze the graphs.

Mercedes-AMG GT3 opts for big displacement without a turbo
Fri, Feb 27 2015There was a time when there were numerous categories in sports car racing: GT1, GT2 , GT3... but these days they've all been amalgamated into the latter. That's left a GT3 class packed with competitors and possibly more contentious than ever before. What you see here is Mercedes' new challenger, in official form after being leaked earlier today by the French website Le Point. Replacing the SLS AMG GT3 that won its class (among other races) the Nurburgring 24 Hours in 2013 is the new Mercedes-AMG GT3. Set to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show, it's the racing version of the new Mercedes-AMG GT, and aside from looking the business, it has the makings of a highly competitive entry. As you can see, it sits closer to the track surface than the road-going version, and packs more extreme aero – including a front splitter you could serve dinner off of, little winglets to deflect the air away from the front tires, deep side sills, a massive rear wing and (though we can't see it presently) what promises to be a very large rear diffuser. It's also got more ventilation to feed the engine and cool the brakes, and a stripped-out cabin with full roll cage and a steering device that's long since evolved beyond resembling an actual "wheel." To save weight, Mercedes has redone many of the panels out of carbon fiber, but one of the most intriguing elements is what you'd find under that woven hood: instead of adapting the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 from the road-going GT, AMG has slotted in the larger atmospheric 6.3-liter V8 from the outgoing racer – coupled to a six-speed sequential gearbox. With its new GT3 entry, Mercedes surely hopes to take a slice of the customer racing market that Porsche in particular has developed into a successful and profitable business over the years. Racing fans, however, will be more interested to see how this puppy fares at Le Mans, the Nurburgring, the Blancpain sprint and endurance series, the United SportsCar Championship, the FIA World Endurance Championship and countless national series around the world. It'll have tough competition on its hands, though, from the likes of the Porsche 911 RSR, Audi R8 LMS, Bentley Continental GT3, Ferrari 458 Italia GT3, McLaren 650S GT3, Lamborghini Huracan GT3 and countless others that battle for glory on a racetrack somewhere on any given Sunday. World premiere in Geneva for spectacular AMG racing car All-out attack : the new Mercedes-AMG GT3 Affalterbach.
