1982 Mercedes-Benz 300SD. 5 cylinder diesel with an automatic transmission. Approximately 250,000 miles. Daily driver. Starts, runs, drives fine. I've owned this vehicle since 1997, and put about 118K miles on it in that time. Other than routine maintenance, I've not had any issues with the car. I bought it from a dealer, and I have quite a few maintenance records from the previous owners. I was told that the transmission had been rebuilt at some point. Since I've owned it, it's been kept in a carport. For the past few years, it's been driven very little. My oil change records show about 3K miles per year since 2006.

The car is not perfect, so please read carefully before bidding, look at all the photos, and ask questions. The car is located in Lexington, KY. You are welcome to look at it here, or contract with a local professional mechanic to check it over. If you'd like me to take other photos, please ask.

Body: paint is pretty good. It was repainted at some point, and there are rust spots showing on the driver's door, at the right rear fender well and a few other smaller places. See the photos. No collision damage, and to the best of my knowledge it's not ever had any bodywork (other than the repaint and a previous repair of rust spots). Electric sunroof works. Interior is fair. Rear seats are in excellent shape, front passenger seats have cracks in the leather. Dash has one crack on the driver's side.

Engine: Starts fine, even in cold weather - block heater is installed for very cold conditions. Runs fine. Oil pressure is good - photo of instruments is taken with the engine running. Battery is new.

All five tires have good tread.

Here's a list of all the miscellaneous issues I'm aware of:

Dash lights are out

Power door locks don't work, but they work manually

Passenger side windshield wiper doesn't move. It's stuck in the parked position. Driver's wiper works fine.

Odometer quit moving a year or so ago. It says 243315, but it has no more than 250,000. Speedometer works fine.

No radio, but there's a space for one. The original Blaupunkt quit some years ago. Wiring is still in place.

Air conditioning is feeble at best

Left turn signal doesn't self-cancel

Slight clunk in the right front - I assume it's a ball joint.

A few missing plastic bits, such as the buttons on the end of the passenger's seat adjustment switch.

I would imagine that a thorough inspection by a professional mechanic would discover other things I'm not aware of, so please bid accordingly and if possible inspect the car in person or arrange for a local professional to check it out for you. I've done my best to accurately represent the condition of this car, but I'm not an expert on this or any other car !

I'm also advertising the car locally, so I do reserve the right to end the auction early.

Again, please ask if there are any questions.

Thanks for looking.

Daimler buying 12% stake in Beijing Auto

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Daimler and Beijing Automotive are officially going steady, with the German company set to take a 12-percent stake in the Chinese brand tomorrow. The two are already tied up in a Mercedes engine plant in Beijing, of which BAIC will increase its stake in, from 50 to 51 percent. Daimler will also get two seats on the Chinese company's board. BAIC may also gain the ability to produce cars on Mercedes-Benz platforms, according to Automotive News Europe.
The investment in BAIC comes ahead of that company's initial public offering, according to a report form Bloomberg, which indicates the deal will be inked tomorrow in the Chinese capital. According to the report, if the circumstances are right, BAIC may turn around and invest in the Germany company "soon."
It's not entirely clear just how much the 12-percent cut is costing Daimler, although it seems reasonable to assume that, as it's ahead of the IPO, the parent company of Mercedes is getting a bit of a bargain.

Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

A 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.

New Die Hard movie wrecked 132 cars in $11 million chase scene [w/video]

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

It would seem the act of dying hard brings with it lots of wanton destruction of the four-wheeled kind. According to John Moore, director of A Good Day To Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again. Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there... That's the fun of it."
Please join us in one great big collective sigh. Done? Okay, let's continue.
"With Die Hard it's about how audacious the action is," says Moore. "So you have to drive over a Lamborghini. An actual one. And yes it hurts me. I'm a car fanatic." Yeah. Sounds like it hurt really bad... though not as bad as the final tally after all the carnage had been counted: "Someone showed me the numbers on the car chase and soup to nuts, you put it all together it was like an $11 million sequence."
