This auction is for a 1981 Mercedes Benz 240D, four door sedan. It really is a 1981 but ebay would not recognize the VIN from the title (which matches the car) so it may also shown as a 1980. It has been converted to a two tank veg oil system and it has been my daily driver for several years. I love it but it is time to move on due to health concerns. I purchased it in 2008 with 102,040 miles and a loose rod bearing. The engine was professionally reworked, new cylinder liners etc. etc. to the tune of around $3000. It currently IS NOT RUNNING due to air getting in the fuel line. After bleeding the lines it will run for a few minutes with normal power then start surging and die. My garage / workshop space is being sold and my disabled vet thing is acting up to where I am forced to make some major changes.
The ball joints have been replaced with U.S. made parts (not P.O.S. china junk) very recent brake job including; all four calipers, brake hoses, and assorted wheel bearings, glow plugs, and so on. Tires are in the 80% range. I purchased it in Alabama in 2008 so it is still very solid overall with only some surface rust. It was undercoated prior to my buying it. There are some spares that go with it; filters, weatherstrip, etc. There is also a spare engine that is available separately. This vehicle will have to be moved via trailer or tow dolly. It has an AM-FM-CD player and does not currently have a battery.
I prefer not to use paypal on this. Any kind of check is fine but ANY check or MONEY ORDER WILL BE HELD for ten business days. Cash at pick up is fine too. Please don't bid if you are not going to follow through at auction end. I am located about an hour East of Columbus, Ohio. Daytime phone: 740 754 1217 Eve phone: 740 588 0459

Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG officially teased in mini video
Mon, 15 Jul 2013The followup to the Mercedes-Benz S550, the S63 AMG, will sport a biturbocharged V8 that will likely turn out around 550 horsepower. The new engine is probably the 5.5-liter, biturbocharged V-8 that's been popping up in everything from the ML63 to the E63 AMG. The front fascia is more aggressive, which shouldn't come as a surprise, while a meaty exhaust setup can be found out back.
We managed to pick all that up from a short, 17-second video posted by MB. The original video that unveiled the S63 AMG has since been pulled down, making this YouTube clip the best look we now have at the new super sedan, at least until the Germans give up the goods for real.
Be sure to check out the video below, along with our original posting on the S63 AMG.
Mercedes has already booked 30k orders for new S-Class
Mon, 21 Oct 2013When Toyota snags 30,000 Corolla orders over a three-month span, it's entirely possible we're in the midst of a global economic collapse and that the end is nigh. That's because the scale for Toyota is so very large. Mercedes-Benz, on the other hand, operates on a much smaller scale, particularly when we talk about its higher-end models, like the S-Class.
In 2012, Mercedes sold 65,000 of its flagship sedans in Germany and the EU. That's 178 units per day, for 365 days. Based on that, you can imagine the excitement at Stuttgart when it accepted 30,000 orders for the new S-Class in just three months. That's an average of 333 per day on a continent with a notoriously shaky economy. Now, admittedly, this enthusiasm could wane as the refitted S-Class becomes more common and Mercedes achieves market saturation in Europe's many chauffeur and livery services, but Mercedes isn't choosing to look at it that way.
"The new S-Class has already jumped back into the lead in terms of new vehicle registrations in Germany and its neighboring European countries," Mercedes-Benz head of sales and marketing, Ola Kaellenius, said in a statement last week.
Next Mercedes-Benz C-Class to get diesel, hybrid versions
Tue, 16 Apr 2013Mercedes-Benz is planning a more aggressive product strategy for its next-generation C-Class range. "We were fighting the 3 Series with two arms tied behind our back, and now we will change that," Steve Cannon, the automaker's US CEO, told Automotive News in a recent interview.
In addition to offering more body styles of the new C-Class, AN reports that the revamped Mercedes will also be offered here with hybrid and diesel powertrains. Currently, the C-Class comes in coupe and sedan variants, with only gasoline engines. The BMW 3 Series, however, is available as a sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon, and offers buyers the choice of gasoline, diesel (the upcoming 328d) or hybrid power.
Mercedes-Benz will show the next-generation C-Class at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, with sales of the US-built sedan following in August. Coupe, convertible and hybrid models will follow in early 2015, and while diesel and all-wheel-drive versions are planned, no specific timetable has been released regarding availability.
