This is a GREAT CAR. Not a perfect car… but a great one.
I've owned and driven this wagon for the last 7 years. I'm selling it because I am now commuting a longer distance and I've bought a 1979 240d for the better mileage.
Mechanically this car is in terrific shape. I've driven a couple other 300tds and this one has more power than either of the others that I have driven… not that it is a muscle car or anything, but it has no trouble keeping up with the fast cars on the interstate. The engine runs great and does not smoke. Starts up great even on the coldest mornings, and consumes very little oil between oil changes.
The transmission was rebuilt about 30k miles ago. It shifts smoothly, and doesn't have the clunks that some of these older wagons develop.
This has been a great car for me an I would love to see it go to a good home.
There are a couple of imperfections that any buyer should be aware of. The sunroof has been sealed closed. I this is because it was leaking, and the head liner above the dash board has some water damage as you can see in the pictures. the rest of the head liner is in decent but not pristine condition. Sometimes when driving in very heavy rain a little drip will get inside. The power door locks aren't working. I'm told this is an easy repair, but I have not done it. Manual door locks have been working fine for me. And there is a rust spot on the roof above the passenger's side door (see pictures). The odometer reads 293,506 miles, but it stopped a couple of years ago. I estimate the car now has about 320,000 miles on it. AC is not working, and I haven't tried to get it fixed, but I'm told the parts are all still there. Heat and defroster work great. Some of the lines of the rear window defroster are not working. Also the rear window wiper is not working. All the fuel lines have been upgraded to run BioDiesel, which the car runs great on. I ran it on ASTM-spec BioDiesel for several years until I started commuting and I need the convenience of gas stations. It has not been converted for Veg-Oil, but certainly could be. The paint has faded in a couple of spots like on the driver's side hood (see pictures). The trailer hitch receptacle and electrical hook up in the pictures has been removed. And finally the Mercedes hood ornament is missing… but everyone will still know you are driving a Mercedes!
This is a truly great vehicle in terrific mechanical shape and decent cosmetic condition with many many more miles on her.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class presentation leaked, debuting in May
Fri, 22 Feb 2013WorldCarFans was reportedly sent what looks like a dealer presentation on the coming V222 series 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class. There have been hints for years as to the kinds of technology the world's best-selling large luxury sedan will contain, and it appears those hints had some foundation. To be shown in Germany on May 15 before a launch window that runs from September to November this year, the evolutionary design will be built of aluminum and steel, using that lighter material for the front end, roof and "detached body parts."
Among the new options buyers will be able to choose are the Rear Seat Package with rear seatbelt airbags and active buckles that extend, a Warmth and Comfort Package with heated seats front and back, heated armrests and side panels, and power rear seats with active ventilation and memory function. There's a chauffeur seating option that comes with 10-way adjustable rear seats, an extendable footrest and folding tables in the front seatbacks.
Blatant technology will be on display via two 12.3-inch screens, one for the dash cluster and one for the COMAND infotainment screen on the instrument panel. The third generation of Nightview Assist Plus will be able to detect animals as well as humans, and the next generation of Surround View will provide high-res views all around the car. A touchpad and a color head-up display will arrive in 2015. It will be the first Mercedes-Benz to utilize LED lighting everywhere, inside and outside the car.
2015 Mercedes C-Class order guide leaked
Wed, 23 Apr 2014We may not have an official starting price for the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but as of right now, we can tell you about all the options for the eagerly anticipated new luxury sedan.
Benz Report has the entire order guide for the C-Class, with breakdowns from package pricing to how many different colors, wheel designs and lighting configurations will be available when the new model hits dealers later this year. As we mentioned in our initial review of the C-Class, there will be a pair of engine options, with the now familiar 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder available in both rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations and a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6, which can be had in all-wheel drive, only.
From there, though, the available options are impressive. Much like it does on the current car, Mercedes is offering a pair of packages that sort of define the entire car. With the C300, buyers will have the choice of either a Sport or Luxury package in addition to the base trim, while C400 buyers are limited to the Sport model.
Maybach and Aston Martin alliance talks fall apart
Tue, 27 Sep 2011If you have, like us, been salivating at the notion of a new generation of Maybach and Lagonda ultra-luxury crafts built by Aston Martin, we've got some bad news: According to reports emanating from Germany, talks between AML and Daimler have broken down.
The proposal under negotiation would have seen Daimler outsourcing production of the next family of Maybach models to Aston Martin, which in return would benefit from Mercedes-Benz platforms and engines - not only for its svelte GTs, but also for its own future Lagonda line of limousines and luxury SUVs. That, and a boatload of money - or at least that's what AML was reportedly seeking, an issue that served as the stumbling block over which the deal reportedly collapsed.
That's not to say the two parties couldn't still reach some sort of a compromise, but short of that, Daimler may opt to either shut down Maybach altogether, find another partner, or take another stab at building new models internally.
