1983 Mercedes-benz 300d Base 4-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, United States

This car has seen a lot of work in the past. It was close to showroom condition. In the last 3 years however it's been used as a daily driver and parked outside. A few problems are known and I would like to do my best to describe them: 1 The biggest problem is an area under the drivers seat has rusted out some. It's still safe to sit on but the floor is sagging some and it's visible from the outside. 2 There is a relatively minor cracked section on the front grill. This was a result of trying to open the hood on a cold day. We still have the piece. 3. A whistling sound exists while the car is running...until it fully warms up. We think it's a break in the vacuum system that is used in the auto door locks. The door locks work much better when it's warm. 4. Some dents do exist. One on the back right corner is most noticeable. I hope the photos do it justice. 5. The antenna is entirely missing off the back. This is one of the details I hope the photos capture. 6. A possible heat/thermostat issue makes the heat stay full on or full off. We really don't know what's going on with it but I imagine it's a simple fix. The work that's been done in the past is quite extensive. The entire Upholstery was redone with new leather and cushioning. It was kept as the pride and joy of a collection of multiple Mercedes's from the 80's. This was the last one the previous owner was willing to sell before he moved to Los Vegas. It's not uncommon to get 500,000 miles on one of these. You can expect a solid 24 mpg, but I've heard it's possible to get over 30. The electric sunroof is nice and smooth. The engineer runs great of course. Mechanically this is quite sound. The ride is great...very smooth with smooth shifting. It's a dream to ride. Please rely on the photos for the specifics. The Ebay item details may be off...but I'll do my best t make them accurate. Feel free to ask questions. I am willing to show it to any locals interested. |

Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG
Thu, 25 Jul 2013A little over two months ago came reports that Daimler and Aston Martin were in talks, again, about "supply and technical-cooperation agreements." The next step has been taken with Aston Martin announcing that it has signed a Letter of Intent that looks "towards a technical partnership" with Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and the two companies aiming to have definitive agreements done by year's end.
While it will get to use certain electric and electronic components from AMG, the true golden egg for the maker of the Vanquish will be the ability to develop a new line of "bespoke V8 powertrains" that will be fitted to "a new generation of models." In return for opening up the larder, Daimler will get a non-voting stake of up to five percent of Aston Martin.
Nothing else is being said about the tie-up for the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more details.
Mercedes widens luxury sales gap on strong early CLA demand
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Mercedes-Benz CLA sales have been booming, with the Stuttgart-based manufacturer moving 2,300 of the sleek four-doors in its first week on sale. That is astonishing. Mercedes moved nearly twice as many CLAs (which start at $29,900) in one week than Jaguar, a brand that is on a very solid roll, sold in all of September. Ignoring the price differences between the Jag line and the CLA, that is still wildly impressive.
Mercedes has been pushing the CLA in television ads, using a shortened version of its Super Bowl spot, which starred William Dafoe, Usher and Kate Upton. "As the bargain entrance into the Mercedes portfolio, we weren't sure how luxury buyers would react," Kelly Blue Book auto analyst Alec Gutierrez told Bloomberg.
The CLA push was just part of MB's 6.7-percent increase in September sales, which were also helped along by a 17-percent jump in E-Class sales. That surge has allowed Mercedes to widen its 2013 sales lead over its rival, BMW, to 2,491 cars, according to Bloomberg. If CLA sales continue at this rate, we can only expect that margin to grow.
Mercedes-AMG considering turbo fours, hybrid sixes for future performance sedans
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Think of the letters AMG and you'll probably end up picturing a performance sedan with a big V8. Such has become, after all, the Mercedes turning division's calling card. But with the introduction of its 2.0-liter turbo four, AMG is working at turning that notion on its head.
The highly potent engine produces 355 horsepower and is presently installed in the A45 AMG hatchback, CLA45 AMG sedan and GLA45 AMG crossover, giving Benz's smallest family a full range of performance models. But that might not be the full extent of the high-strung four-pot's use.
Speaking with AMG boss Tobias Moers, Britain's What Car? magazine reports that Affalterbach is considering slotting the same engine into larger models, particularly performance sedans like the C-Class. As we recently reported, Mercedes is already preparing to up the power from the turbo V6 in the C400 to slot a C450 Sport in below the C63 AMG. The C450 is expected to offer around 367 horsepower where the CLA45 AMG et al pack 355, but the lighter weight of the four-cylinder engine would likely offset the truancy of those extra dozen horses. Of course such a prospect would be much further down the pipeline than the C450 Sport which is expected to arrive much sooner.
