1986 Mercedes Benz 300 SDL Turbo Diesel.

The Mercedes Benz is physically in EDGEWATER MARYLAND, in the greater Washington DC area. Please make a note of this. I am currently on business in Los Angeles CA and will arrange for having one of my business partners meet you in Edgewater MD with signed FLORIDA title in hand to exchange cash at purchase.

If you are into WVO Conversions (waste vegetable oil) this would be an ideal candidate. From researching this down in Fort Lauderdale Florida with a conversion company - this Benz has an ideal engine, and does not require the second tank for the WVO. This is the 6 cylinder 3 liter Turbo Diesel. Only made for 86 and 87. Rare. With the SDL stretched body. 4 door. This car is in very good shape, considering it's 27 years old. I've taken this car on over a dozen trips from Washington DC area to South Florida and back, and it runs strong, the turbo diesel is in excellent shape, and it gets an average of 34 mpg on trips.

The good. It has an Alpine Stereo CD 121 with 4 Rockford Fosgate Prime speakers.
Tires are new from January. Great tread.
Oil has been changed at 3000 mile intervals regularly.
New AC compressor and fresh charge. AC blows cold, and the climate control is functional.
Cruise Control operates. New alignment done with tire change. Mechanically, this Benz is very good.
From Florida, it has full tinted windows, and it is legal with this level of tint. Rear window has inside and outside tinting, as do both rear door windows, and front two doors are (again) legal tinting. Tinting was professional done from Tint World, of Fort Lauderdale, FL.
SilverStar halogen headlight bulbs, and has a lifetime K&N air filter installed.

The not so good. The sunroof does not open, and is sealed with silicone, and was like that when I purchased it (was told it was a bad cable?).
The vacuum operated power door locks all work, however, you need to lock or unlock using the passenger side key.
The drivers seat has a tear on the side bolster and is covered in duck tape (see pictures).
Drivers side power window needs assistance on going up or down on its last 3/4 inch of travel. Common problem with these Benz windows, and from the internet, easy fix, for someone with mechanical skills.
Front right headlight door has a crack from a stone kicked up that hit it, and is covered with clear lens tape (not the headlight - the headlight door, and you can find them on eBay for 20 dollars average).
Body wise, it does have a few small surface blotches, and paint is about average for a car of this age. No dents or dings. Body is in very very good shape. All in all, a very sound car.
Please see pictures for condition, and please ask any questions, as I will be happy to answer any that you may have.
For out of state buyers or in state buyers, the car is titled with a Florida title, so no worries on change over.

I have clean Florida title in hand. I will gladly provide a signed Bill Of Sale for you if required, and/or go with you to any Title Agency as well. I am currently out in CA on business, however, one of my partners has clean signed title in hand and has Power Of Attorney for this sale.

I've set a crazy LOW PRICE on this car, and it's worth quite allot more. The Benz is also listed locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction earlier if the car sells here in the Edgewater, MD area. These cars are rare, and even though not in showroom condition by any means, this is a very dependable, strong running Benz. With some TLC, you'd have a great car, and with a WVO Conversion, and a restaurant willing to give you used fryer oil... Hmmmmm. Nice. LOL.

Some YouTube videos of me and the Mercedes Benz 300 SDL Turbo Diesel running, driving, and better interior shots and exterior. If you'd like more pix of the car, I've got them. Just fire out an email.

Mercedes testing C-Class plug-in hybrid modes in Germany

Wed, 07 May 2014

Testing appears to be underway for what would be the first Mercedes-Benz C-Class with a hybrid powertrain. We can see a pair of the prototypes undergoing testing in Germany, with one, a C-Class Wagon, still heavily clad in camouflage and featuring a more noticeable outlet on the passenger side of its rear bumper.
There's also a more production-looking sedan, which features a not-so-discreet flap over its rear-bumper outlet. It's difficult to speculate on power outputs for this fuel-sipping C-Class, although our spies seem to think that this car will feature some combination of a four-cylinder gas engine with an electric motor, although just which four is unclear (note, we wouldn't mind if MB fit its 2.0-liter turbo with some batteries and motors). Regardless, the four-pot/electric motor seems like a pretty reasonable combo, although it probably means that Mercedes won't be challenging the six-cylinder-powered system of the BMW ActiveHybrid3 any time soon.
When the plug-in C-Class arrives later this year as a 2015 model, it will likely offer a full range of driving modes, including both gas or electric, only, as well as a more traditional hybrid mode.

Mercedes to roll out S65 AMG Coupe in July

Mon, 07 Apr 2014

We're still a couple of weeks away from the public debut of the new Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe at the fast-approaching New York Auto Show, but already we're receiving word of an even more powerful version in the works. That, of course, would be the S65 AMG Coupe - the twelve-cylinder version of the latest S-Class Coupe, two-door counterpart to the S65 AMG sedan and replacement for the outgoing CL65 AMG.
Like the four-door version rolled out back in November, the S65 AMG Coupe would be distinguished from less powerful vehicles (which, lets face it, is just about everything) principally by its engine: a massive, 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 that produces 621 horsepower, 738 pound-feet of torque and cares as much about global warming as an oil-shipping mega-tanker.
Because Merc's 4Matic all-wheel drive system can't handle that much torque, the ne plus ultra coupe would (like the S65 sedan but unlike the S63 coupe) be offered only in rear-drive form. That means it will have that much more trouble getting the power down to the road, but since the Magic Body Control suspension is similarly incompatible with 4Matic, the flagship coupe will get that trick suspension.

Next Mercedes S-Class stretching into this 600 Pullman limo

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

To the concern of nobody in particular, Mercedes-Benz will not be re-upping its Maybach line of ultra-luxury limousines. No, instead the German automaker will be stretching its already roomy S-Class, to make this upcoming 600 Pullman version of the decked-out beast.
The car in our new gallery of spy shots is sporting beefy B-pillars and a massive set of rear doors that should allow perfectly graceful ingress and egress from what is likely to be a palatial rear space. (In one photo we can even see a long-wheelbase S-Class in line with the new Pullman, handily exhibiting the size of the new variant.) The exterior modifications are otherwise obscured, though we can guess at revised front and rear fascia and lighting elements, based on both end being heavily taped for these test runs.
It's a good bet that the Pullman will make use of M-B's twin-turbocharged V12 engine, though sources indicate that a hybrid version might eventually be in the offing, as well.
