1979 Mercedes Benz 300TD wagon 5 cylinder diesel, 4 speed manual (as originally equipped), euro trim with extensive work already done, but still needing more time than I, a new father, have. Mileage unknown Car is all manual, including windows, sunroof, locks. Sale of car includes as much of a half a garage full of parts as you want, including a second sunroof, a passenger fender, a new exhaust system, another set of almost perfect bundt pans. Parts accrued from various 123 cars over a few years, so there is alot of stuff, but also alot of redundant stuff, e.g., 3 instrument clusters. Car has original fabric interior although front seats are replacements out of a low mile 300SD. Fabric seats in garage and in poor shape. Rear tex seats also available, but rear seats are currently original fabric in good shape. Car drives fine, stable at highway speeds, starts every time, and runs quietly and smoothly. The car spent much of its life in CA, and has rust in places that reflect dried gaskets and rain rather than snow. The floors are absolutely perfect. There is rust in the front rockers, bases of doors but not door sills, rear rockers, and misc spots around. Nothing is that bad, but needs to be dealt with sooner. The paint on the car is poor and cheap, and the car should be stripped. I am pretty sure there is bondo in the right rear quarter as there is paint cracking there. All glass is fine, headliner is poor, carpets ok, interior trim generally ok. I have much of what could be replaced in the pile of parts I have. In short, this is a great, reliable car, which is an honest and worthy candidate for a high quality restoration but could also be driven until it drops decades from now. Part of the package, if wanted could also be a biodiesel setup with hand pump, 55 gallon drum, as well as large container with about 300 gallons of B20.

Test drive the Mercedes SLS AMG Electric Drive with Chris Harris
Thu, 11 Apr 2013It's hard to not like the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT. The all-aluminum coupe is fitted with a wonderful naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. Not only does the burly combustion engine launch the two-seater to 60 miles per hour in less than four seconds, but it does so with one of the world's greatest exhaust soundtracks as it roars, burbles and cackles down the road.
But what happens when Mercedes-Benz takes away the V8 and its accompanying fire-burning song? Stripped of one of its most appealing assets, does the SLS lose its soul?
Chris Harris recently had the opportunity to take the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive for a track spin in Europe. Sans gasoline, but with four electric motors providing a combined 740 horsepower (737 pound-feet of torque), all-electric all-wheel drive coupe uses sophisticated torque vectoring and a multi-mode operating system to put oversteer - drifting! - back into the equation. Fun? You bet. See for yourself, below.
2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup shows its freshened face
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Mercedes-Benz showed us its redesigned 2014 E-Class more than a month ago, but the Detroit Auto Show finally gave us a chance to see the full family of mid-size luxury cars and wagons in the flesh. Dieter Zetsche introduced the cars, including sedan, coupe, convertible and station wagon, on stage showing the stylish new design direction.
The wagon and sedan versions (shown as the E400 Hybrid above) will go on sale this spring, while the coupe and cabriolet will hit showrooms over the summer. Check our new gallery of live shots for the entire 2014 E-Class lineup, as well as the previously released press release below.
Mercedes dealers authorized to spend $2,500 on perks for S-Class customers
Mon, 02 Dec 2013If you drop $100,000 on a luxury sedan, it seems only reasonable to receive some preferential treatment at the dealership you purchased from. After all, that price isn't just for the car - you're paying for the brand and all the cachet that entails. For Mercedes-Benz, those benefits have apparently been lacking relative to the German brand's luxury competitors.
That's set to change, though, as Automotive News reports that the German brand is placing a much greater emphasis on keeping its customers happy and loyal with its MB Select program. Starting with the new S-Class and spreading to the CLA-Class (and eventually beyond), dealers are being given money - up to $2,500 in the case of the flagship sedan - just to improve the customer experience.
We agree, improving the "customer experience" is quite a vague term, so it's nice that Mercedes USA's CEO, Steve Cannon, offered up some examples to AN at the LA Auto Show. For example, a customer couldn't fit his sunglasses into the overhead compartment. "So we bought him a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses that fit because of their shape," Cannon said.
