’84 Mercedes Non Turbo Manual 300d Euro Spec Gray Market on 2040-cars
Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States
|
This amazing car was vandalized on New Years Eve and I have been debating all this time about selling. I have come to the conclusion that I must. It is still a great car, but now it will need a front and rear windshield, both the passenger windows, grill, and headlight glass. The lights themselves are still working. I went out today after she had been sitting covered for 3 months through winter and she started on the 1st try. I drove her around one last time in the neighborhood. I Love this car and she was my daily driver, but she needs someone who can fix her. Pictures of the glass were taken on the morning after, so the broken glass has been cleaned up. This is the description & pictures I was going to use before it was vandalized & the after pics as well. The inside was not vandalized so it still looks like the pics. The only damage was to the back right passenger window trim which was dented so it will need to be opened up a bit to allow the glass to move freely. This car is being sold as is. This is a Gray Market Mercedes 300D with a manual 4 Speed transmission, non turbo. Gray Market means it was originally sold in Germany for the European market then imported to the US by an individual. The VIN is WDB1231301A019864 and is currently insured with State Farm. The smaller front and back bumpers are a dead give a way too. I purchased it from the son of the original owner. His father imported it for his German born wife in 1984 who wanted a “German” car. I have taken 77 pictures to give you a good idea of the overall condition and it also has some killer BBS rims. It is in great condition for its age mechanically and the interior is really in great shape. It does leak a little oil and it does have a few rust stops, but crazy fun to drive. Odometer reads 118K, but it has not worked right for about 7 months. Title in hand.
All the following electronics work; lights, blinkers, radio, wipers, front driver’s / passenger windows, sunroof, fuel, temp, and oil pressure gauges.
Both back windows are manual and work fine, but the driver side handle needs to be replaced. It works in its current state though.
Heater works like the German’s intended, warm and toasty. All speeds on blower motor work great as do the position settings.
Not working; Odometer works from time to time, gauge cluster light, both of these are notorious for going out and are relatively cheap fixes, and the AC. The doors do not lock automatically with the vacuum system, but do work fine with the key.
Recent Work done by a Mercedes Mechanic;
Clutch Master and Slave cylinder both replaced
New Alternator Brush pack
New Alternator belt, power steering belt, and AC belt. Bosch Battery less than 3 months old and very nice BBS Rims. I have done my best to describe in detail the condition of the car, but please feel free to ask questions. It is being sold as is because of its age knowing it will continue to need TLC. |

Europe getting special Mercedes-Benz CLA Edition 1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Last week when we saw the leaked ordering guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, one particular image caught our eye showing the interior of the new sedan with a neon yellow stripe on the seats and yellow stitching throughout the cabin. As it turns out, this will be part of a limited-edition model called the Edition 1 about which Mercedes-Benz just released some information.
Usually, automakers wait until later in a vehicle's life to introduce special models like this, but the Edition 1 will be available right out of the gate for the first 12 months the CLA-Class is on sale. The 2014 CLA-Class Edition 1 includes the more aggressive Sport package adding AMG-style fascias and wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights and a lowered suspension; it will be offered only in five colors - unfortunately, Northern Lights Purple is not one of them. In addition to the bright yellow cabin accents, the Edition 1 will get sport seats wrapped in leather and microfiber, a sporty, flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather and real aluminum trim on the instrument panel.
With no mention of the US, we're only left to imagine that this car will not be arriving on our shores, but customers in Europe will definitely be able to enjoy the mean styling and funky interior with prices ranging from 35,402 euros up to 43,940 euros.
Mercedes-Benz S-Class spied once again
Fri, 08 Feb 2013As evidenced by how little camouflage the next-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been caught wearing lately, it can't be too much longer until the car will get its official debut. In our newest shots of the yacht-sized luxo sedan, the cladding still covers up the headlights, front fascia and most of the rear end, but we finally have an almost undisguised look at the rest of the car's lines.
Considering previous spy shots had more camo that better (or fully) concealed the S-Class' body, some of the more obvious things we see in these images include the prominent grille, the CLS-Class-inspired bodyside creases, the pointed trunk opening and, most interestingly, a lack of fancy exhaust outlets. Unlike other S-Class prototypes we've seen, this car does not have integrated outlets, but it does have two pipes on the left side of the car. All current S-Class models in the US and Europe feature a dual exhaust layout on each side of the car, so while some of our questions about the car get answered, it would appear that more are just arising.

Mon, 19 Aug 2013LA To The Grand Canyon In The Mercedes-Benz Of RVs
Piloting an 8,500-pound motorized house down the highway is far from my idea of fun, yet inexplicably, I'm enjoying myself. My grin has nothing to do with my camper's handling, as this heavily accoutered Mercedes-Benz Sprinter drives like a 25-foot long breadbox. My smile has nothing to do with on-road stability, as the ten-foot-tall, slab-sided vehicle reacts to wind gusts like the vertical stabilizer on a Boeing jet. My delight has nothing to do with its throttle or braking response, either, as both are as numb as your forehead after the eighth beer.
This monstrosity makes me happy for one reason - my passengers are undeniably having a good time.
