This is a beautiful and rare, 2 door 1978 Mercedes 300D in very nice condition. I rarely see 2 doors, and hardly ever in the diesel. It has very low documented miles. There is no rust or damage to it, runs and drives xlnt, and also has a clean interior. The AC works and blows cold. Truly a very nice car, gets many compliments. There is NO RESERVE, auction ends saturday night
5 cylinder , non turbo diesel 300D with auto transmission runs, shifts and drives as it should Car has 121,000 miles, has been garage stored and driven very little in the last 10 years. Have records with mileage documentation. California car has no rust or corrosion (see picture of untouched undercarriage) undercoating and all metal in xlnt condition AC has been professionally converted to modern AC refrigerant and blows cold ! All tires are new and in xlnt condition, brakes good also Body has no dents or damage, paint shines and in xlnt condition also All glass good no damage Interior seats, carpet, dash, plastic in very nice, well preserved condition. No cracks in dash Nice chrome, bumpers and outside trim Tight steering and suspension as expected from a low mileage car New battery, synthetic engine oil used. Current Califonia registration, clean title on hand, have original papers and books $200 deposit by paypal, balance in cash or cashier check. Car is in San Diego, I would not be afraid of across country drive with this car. Will pick you up at the airport. I can also assist in vehicle shipping, can also get shipping bids for you on Uship and ship for you. Expect shipping to be $300 to $1400? depending on distance from the West coast. You are responsible for shipping costs, I will merely help you. Small things that could use attention There is a small hole in the headliner fabric There is some wear in the carpet by the driver brake pedal The top of the rear seat has changed color from the sun shining through the rear window. You can order a reproduction, matching original rear seat cover and have it installed if you like. The low fuel warning light stays on all the time even though the fuel tank is full Sometimes it takes 2 trys to start it when cold, would likely benefit from a service or perhaps daily driving. This car was only driven 2000 miles a year ! |

Man makes record-setting drive across the US in 28 hours, 50 minutes
Fri, 01 Nov 2013Records, as the say, are made to be broken. Whether that's cramming the most hot dogs down your gullet, running a faster mile, or yes, driving across the United States, odds are that there's someone out there wants to eat more, run faster or drive harder. Speaking of that last example, the record for driving from a set location on the east coast, in particular the Red Ball Garage in Manhattan to the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach, CA, has been one that has fascinated gearheads since a guy named Cannonball Baker made the trek from New York to LA in 53 hours, 30 minutes, in 1933.
The competition saw its glory days when Car and Driver's Brock Yates came up with the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash (more affectionately known as the Cannonball Run), although the record was most recently set by Alex Roy and his 32-hour, seven-minute trek behind the wheel of a BMW M5 in 2006. Now, there's a new champion, who made the trip from east to west in a scarcely imaginable 28 hours and 50 minutes, behind the wheel of a 2004 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG. That's works out to an average speed of 98 miles per hour over the course of 2,813.7 miles.
His name is Ed Bolian, and Jalopnik has a writeup of the epic voyage that details everything from the history of the Cannonball Run to Bolian's preparation and trouble finding co-drivers, to the trip itself. It is well worth a read.
Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.
2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Make way for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, the most wonderfully preposterous car I have ever driven.
There is absolutely no reason why any two-seat roadster should be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 developing 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, but I sure am glad that Mercedes-Benz doesn't see things that way.
Drop into the leather-lined cockpit of this $213,145 provocateur, floor the accelerator pedal as I did over and over again, and 60 miles per hour falls in a traction-limited 3.9 seconds. Top speed has been electronically held to 186 mph (this apparently saves Gulfstream jet owners from embarrassment). Forget the SL550 and SL63 AMG, the valets will trip over themselves attending to the tycoon driving this thoroughbred - it's the real deal.
