The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"The Bad:Air conditioning blowing warm, needs recharged. I believe a new AC compressor was installed 3 to 4 years ago. I have noticed that the odometer is not tracking miles. I have a replacement instrument cluster that can fix this issue (comes with the car). The driver's side (left) needs a new caliper. When I did the job a month ago I was unable to get the new caliper to fit and have not had a chance to replace it. I believe the current caliper is Bendix. There is a little pull to the left when breaking and it sounds like the caliper piston may be sticking occasionally. One of the rear windows does not go down once in a while, I think there is a faulty switch. If you press down hard and wiggle the switch it goes down 1/2 the time. Rear end/suspension is sagging and a little bouncy over bumps. The car drives smooth otherwise, especially on the highway.There is rust on the exterior and around the door jams/frames. See links to videos below that detail the car"
Mercedes Benz 300 TD Turbo Diesel Wagon (1979)
~200,000 miles
This is a reliable and safe car.
In the past 3 years the following maintenance has been completed:
1) New motor mounts
2) Front end suspension (bilstein struts, control arms, upper and lower ball joints, guide rod mounts, idler arm bushings, bearings, etc...) I have pictures of every part that was installed, please inquire.
3) 4-new tires
4) Set of new glow plugs
5) Front and Rear flex discs on drivetrain
6) New rear hatch struts
7) Replaced main motor seal
8) New Headlights
9) Front caliper (right). The driver's side (left) needs a new caliper. When I did the job a month ago I was unable to get the new caliper to fit and have not had a chance to replace it. I believe the current caliper is Bendix. There is a little pull to the left when breaking and it sounds like the caliper piston may be sticking.

10) Tank sending unit for fuel gauge (brand new unit)
11) New battery
12) New starter
13) New voltage regulator
14) Repaired faulty plug on block heater (works perfectly now)
This is well over $2500 in parts and service costs alone.
Also in working condition:
Headlights, high beams, turn signals, break lights, fog lights, hazards, front and rear wipers, horn, radio, heater, front and rear defroster, overhead lights, speedometer, tachometer, clock, fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, locks, windows. One of the rear windows does not go down once in a while, I think there is a faulty switch. If you press down hard and wiggle the switch it goes down 1/2 the time. Sunroof is manual.
I changed the oil every 4 months or 3,000 miles whichever came first.
Good filters and diesel grade oil. I will do a complete oil change for the new owner; included in the price. Or put the oil and filters in trunk for you to do the job, which ever you prefer. I also change the inline fuel filter routinely.

The Bad:
Air conditioning blowing warm, needs recharged. I believe a new AC compressor was installed 3 to 4 years ago.
I have noticed that the odometer is not tracking mileage. The estimated mileage is around 200,000 o 250,000. The odometer currently reads 188,899.

Rear end/suspension is sagging and a little bouncy over bumps. The car drives smooth otherwise, especially on the highway.
There is some cracking on the drivers side seat and the arm rest. There is a 1" crack in the dash next to the passenger side speaker.
There is rust on the exterior and around the door jams/frames. See links to videos below that detail the interior and exterior of the car.

This was a California car, with a short life in Ohio, and now Georgia. This is a 34 years old, with signs of normal wear and tear.
The body is in fair to good condition and the engine is in great condition.
Car title notes the following: "rebuilt/salvage" and "non-actual/Warning Odometer Discrepancy."
This is not uncommon for these cars given the age.
This is my daily driver. It is a solid car, with years of life left.
Get it for a great price. The only reason I am selling it is due to relocation for work, otherwise I would be keeping it around. I love driving it and have always driven these cars (300D, 300TD, 300SD).
Payment Requirements:
Deposit must be made within 24 hours or negative feedback will be left. Deposit is $500.00 USD.
The remaining balance is due when you or shipper picks up the car (within 3 days of auction close). This is mandatory unless other arrangements are made before Buy it now or making an offer.
Shipping:
Buyer is responsible for picking up the car or arranging shipping. Buyer is responsible for the cost of shipping.
FYI, I will be driving from Augusta, GA to New York City on July 31st.
If you live along that route I would consider trailering the car to you for an additional shipping fee to cover the cost of renting a trailer.
Please inquire before placing a bid, if you are considering this shipment option. This needs to be cleared with me before you buy the car or place an offer.
***Absolutely no returns, Sold "as is," no warranty.***
The car has been described to the best of my knowledge concerning any defects/problems with the interior, exterior, and engine compartment.
Please don't hesitate to ask questions.

Mercedes A45 AMG in downhill battle with slipstream skateboarder
Mon, 30 Sep 2013We're told it takes "performance, control and expression" to pilot a longboard skateboard down a mountain road, and that those happen to be the same values embodied in the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG. That's how the two came to be combined in a black-and-white short film called Silver Slipstream.
There's no talking, no engine note and no color, just some music, a 'boarder and a car on a long cruise down the Franschhoek Pass in the Western Cape of South Africa." Despite that, it's actually a pretty entertaining video of the latest Mercedes-Benz hot hatch married with extreme sports. You can watch how it all goes down in the video below.
New Die Hard movie wrecked 132 cars in $11 million chase scene [w/video]
Sat, 16 Feb 2013It 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."
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.
