1981 Mercedes-benz 300td Touring - Excellent Condition, Very Clean Car on 2040-cars
Downey, California, United States
|
Selling a 1981 Mercedes-Benz 300TD in fantastic mechanical and cosmetic condition. Starts instantly, runs and drives beautifully. Transmission doesn't shift harshly like on so many other diesel Mercedes of this era, instead it's very smooth. Turbo spools nicely and makes very decent power. Options like Cruise Control and Power Door locks work perfectly. Seats show almost no signs of wear at all, and are soft and supportive, not hardened or faded AT ALL, no sagging springs either. The floor carpet was removed and replaced with rubber mats for durability. Trunk area carpet is still intact and in very good condition. I have the spare tire cover (not pictured) Has one oil stain, that would probably come out with some scrubbing. Blaupunkt Portland stereo installed and working.
Exterior is in very very clean and tidy condition for an original car of this age. Has one small dent above the tail light, and some scratches here and there, but nothing major, and no structural rust AT ALL. Not even the jack points are rusty. Always a California car, spent it's life in Montecito. Rear hydraulic self-leveling suspension works fine, doesn't sag or bounce. Original Hirschmann antenna still works but seems to need a new mast. Still wears it's blue and yellow original CA plates, and Mercedes-Benz of Beverly Hills license plate frame. Brakes and tires still have a good amount of life left in them. Great reliable car, would not hesitate to drive it cross country. The only issues it has, are that the driver's side window is stuck closed, and the A/C system needs to be recharged (verified, has an R134a retrofit notice sticker). No other issues. Clean title. I do have service records for the car, it has had thousands worth of work done in the last 10 years or so. Please don't hesitate to call me with any questions you might have prior to bidding.

2014 Mercedes SL and SLK add small expansion to Takata airbag recall
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Mercedes-Benz is the latest automaker to be affected by Takata's massive airbag recall. The company has announced a voluntary recall campaign on a small number of model-year 2014 SLK- and SL-Class roadsters.
In Mercedes' case, 300 vehicles are affected, 200 of which are in the hands of customers. According to spokesperson Donna Boland, the affected roadsters were built between March and April of this year.
The issue, which is apparently the fault of one of Takata's subcontractors, rests with some improperly installed fasteners, which could keep the airbag from performing the way it's supposed to. According to Boland, Mercedes isn't sure what, if any, injuries the recalled airbags could cause, but simply claims there's an increased risk in these particular vehicles. There's been no reported instances of the faulty airbags deploying on a customer and the original issue was found in a production test.
Missouri Mercedes dealer offering free Smart with every SLS AMG purchase
Wed, 05 Dec 2012The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT is an exquisite sports car that probably needs no help flying off dealer lots, even with a starting price of almost $200,000, but Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City has come up with an interesting incentive to sweeten the deal. For buyers who purchase a new SLS AMG from dealer stock before the end of the year, the dealership is throwing in a new Smart Fortwo from its inventory at no charge... with a required coupon no less.
In addition to being a great tactic to get a little free press, the spare car also makes sense as an alternative to the SLS, which measures more than 15-feet long - almost twice the length of a Fortwo - and has a 563-horsepower engine that sucks down gas at the rate of 13 miles per gallon in city driving (and even that's provided you don't give in to the devil on your shoulder). Plus, at the end of the day, this really isn't that big of an incentive. Being given a slow-selling $12,490 car for the purchase of a model starting at $199,500 represents about a six percent incentive, which is along the lines of a $1,900 rebate for a $30,000 car.
To get the free Smart, just visit the Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City Facebook page, redeem the coupon and then go buy yourself a new SLS AMG. Congratulations!
Mercedes to roll out C63 AMG late in 2014 with 4.0L V8
Mon, 30 Dec 2013The new 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is upon us, launching initially in North America with turbocharged four-cylinder C300 4Matic and six-cylinder C400 4Matic flavors. But that's only the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to the vast array of powertrain configurations that will be offered in the new C-Class in markets around the world. Orders will soon be rolling in for gasoline, hybrid and diesel engines with four, six or eight cylinders, driving the rear wheels or all four, with the seven-speed automatic transmission soon to be replaced by a new nine-speed unit. But what enthusiasts are really looking forward to is the next C63 AMG.
As BMW has done with the M3 (and new M4), Mercedes has gradually ratcheted up the cylinder count in its AMG C-Class, graduating from the 3.6-liter V6 in the original C36 AMG to the 4.3-liter V8 in the C43 AMG, then the 5.5-liter V8 in the C55 AMG before going the distance with the sublime 6.2-liter V8 in the C63 AMG. Like its rivals, Mercedes is expected to use turbochargers as a replacement for displacement in the next model, but unlike its Bavarian rival, it won't be losing any cylinders in the process.
Skipping the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 that has gone on to power other AMG models, the next C63 AMG is still expected to introduce a new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing between 450 and 500 horsepower. It'll also reportedly keep the same seven-speed automatic transmission (instead of switching to the new nine-speed), but the jury's still out on whether it'll come with rear- or all-wheel drive (or offer buyers the choice). The downsized V8 - codenamed M177 - is then expected to find its way into other models, but the C-Class will be the first to get it when it arrives before the end of the new year ahead.
