Up for sale is a 1983 Mercedes Benz 240D with 271,866 miles on it. I haven't had it for very long but as far as I can tell, this is a good car that I think will run for a very long time as long as long as it is taken care of. It has a fresh oil change and a new fuel filter put on last week. This car has leather seats, automatic transmission, power windows, manual sun roof.
The body has some rust on it on the drivers side behind the back tire, on the passengers side back door and right behind the back door and a small spot at the bottom corner of the windshield on the drivers side. There is 2 very small dents in it. One on the bottom of the drivers door and one on the rear quarter panel on the drivers side. The tires are almost new and I don't see any signs of weathering. There is a small crack in the windshield at the bottom coner on the passengers side. I didn't even notice it until my wife pointed it out. The whole car needs a good cleaning and probably a good buffing. The cruise control doesn't work.
It runs good but could still use some work. There is a squeal that come from the engine and I think it is either the alternator or the alternator belt. It seems like it is at tight as it gets but there is still a squeal. The diesel engine in the car seems like it runs the way it should. It is under powered like they all are in cars like this. You won't win any races with this car but it will get you where you want to go. The car doesn't smoke when starting or any other time. The car is in Iowa and I had it plugged in and didn't have it running for 3 days, I went out and it started right up with no problems and it is COLD outside.
I have heard of these cars having well over a half a million miles on it and I'm pretty sure that this one is no exception.
Like I said before, I haven't had the car for very long so if you have any questions or want to make an offer, send me a message and ask and I will do my best to answer them. The car is for sale locally for $1500/obo as well so I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells before the auction ends. I require a deposit of $500 within 24 hours of the auction ending and the balance due in cash at the time of picking the car up. The car must be picked up within 7 days from the auction ending. Thanks for looking!!!

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.
AMG-powered Aston Martins still years away
Mon, 16 Sep 2013After flirting for several years, Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin have finally tied the knot. Just don't expect to see any offspring to result from the union for at least three or four years.
This according to Auto Express, which spoke with Daimler chief Dr. Dieter Zetsche at the Frankfurt Motor Show last week. AE reports that a new range of AMG-developed turbocharged V8s, transmissions and electrical components will make their way into the successors to the current V8 Vantage and DB9, but that these models are still a few years off.
Purists might balk at the thought of a Mercedes-powered Aston holding true to the brand's heritage. But while David Brown (for whom the DB range is named) may have steered clear of shoehorning in Detroit muscle into his cars, the entirety of the company's current range is powered by engines borrowing technology from Ford, and that arrangement seems to have worked well for Aston until now. And if you're still skeptical, look no further than Pagani and its AMG-sourced engines and you should have all the proof you need that the new relationship between Daimler and Aston could be a success.
Mercedes says it's tops in luxury sales for 2012, not BMW
Tue, 19 Feb 2013It turns out that Mercedes-Benz North America has legitimate claim to being the top selling luxury nameplate in the US in 2012.
While sources such as Autodata had put BMW in the top spot, registration data from R.L. Polk shows that Mercedes customers registering new vehicles topped the Bavarian automaker in the most recent calendar year. Polk says Benz posted 274,123 registrations, compared with BMW's 268,498.
In terms of sales posted, BMW had bested Benz 281,460 to 274,134. But sales are recorded somewhat inconsistently from automaker to automaker. Some book the sales as soon as they are shipped from factory to dealer. There is perennial gamesmanship between the two German rivals, and the sales numbers suggest that BMW pushed out some extra sheetmetal to dealers in the last four weeks of the year.
