This ad is for a 1983 Mercedes-Benz 300D turbo-diesel. The car was originally silver and when I purchased it, I had it painted in Mango Green, which is a rare, but factory color for Mercedes of this vintage.
The car overall has a nice interior, and the seats are very comfortable. I'd say that the seats are in better than average condition, considering the age of the car. The dashboard is in decent shape, and has only minor cracking. The car also has the original floor mats, and trunk mat.
The car runs well, and starts easily even in cold temperatures (even down to 3 degrees). The transmission is in good shape, and has clean, firm shifts.
I have done a lot of work to the car since I've owned it, including many new suspension components.
Work that has been done, or parts that have been replaced since I've owned the car:
-Exterior repainted in Mango Green in 2007
-New inner and outer front wheel bearings (total of 4)
-New Bilstein shock absorbers
-New steering damper
-New Goodyear tires (with less than 50 miles)
-New rear subframe bushings
-New tie-rods
-New front upper control arms
-New differential mount
-New front brake rotors
-New front brake calipers
-New front brake pads
-New air conditioning compressor, dryer, and expansion valve
-New right rear door seal
-New left side axle
-New right rear window motor
-New power window switches (the ones in the center console)
-New power steering fluid
-Differential oil changed
-Dynamat soundproofing on the trunk lid, under and behind rear seat, on parcel shelf, and on all four doors.
-Dynamat Hoodliner hoodpad
The car does have a few issues that need to be worked out.
The right side power windows are not currently working.
There is a minor leak inside the car. It is never enough to make any standing in the back of the car.
The car has the original radio, and it needs the code to work. The car doesn't currently have any speakers installed. The rear speaker openings in the parcel shelf were enlarged slightly, and so the original speaker grills do not cover the openings.
The car has some minor bubbling on the bottom of the front right fender, and on the bottom of the left rear fender. Otherwise the paint is in excellent shape.
The odometer isn't working, and hasn't since I've owned the car.
The windshield has large crack, and may need to be replaced to pass inspection.
The check-strap is missing on the right rear door.
The driver's seat cushion has spot where the vinyl has separated from the canvas backer. The vinyl is not in danger of peeling off, and the rest of the cover is in excellent shape.
However, the car as a whole is excellent considering the age.
The car has the upgraded H4 headlights, which are more modern and have a wider beam pattern than the sealed beam lights that this car came with originally.
The left side windows and sunroof work properly.
The car has no shakes, shimmies, vibrations, or rattles.
The headlights, marker lights, brake lights, and signal lights are all properly functioning.
All of the gauges are properly functioning.
Overall, this is a very solid car, in a very unusual color. I would not hesitate driving the car anywhere.

Next Mercedes-Benz C-Class to get diesel, hybrid versions
Tue, 16 Apr 2013Mercedes-Benz is planning a more aggressive product strategy for its next-generation C-Class range. "We were fighting the 3 Series with two arms tied behind our back, and now we will change that," Steve Cannon, the automaker's US CEO, told Automotive News in a recent interview.
In addition to offering more body styles of the new C-Class, AN reports that the revamped Mercedes will also be offered here with hybrid and diesel powertrains. Currently, the C-Class comes in coupe and sedan variants, with only gasoline engines. The BMW 3 Series, however, is available as a sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon, and offers buyers the choice of gasoline, diesel (the upcoming 328d) or hybrid power.
Mercedes-Benz will show the next-generation C-Class at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, with sales of the US-built sedan following in August. Coupe, convertible and hybrid models will follow in early 2015, and while diesel and all-wheel-drive versions are planned, no specific timetable has been released regarding availability.
Watch this perfectly nice Mercedes get crushed by a front-end loader
Mon, 25 Mar 2013In a world where the YouTube hoax continues to thrive, it's hard to know what to think of this little vid, but here are the facts as we know them: a coupe that looks like a first-generation Mercedes-Benz CLK gets crushed by a giant front-end loader. There you have it.
Our questions arise in the aftermath - we know industrial resource machinery is heavy, but the Benz gets squashed so flat we wonder if someone's trying to play a joke on us. We hear that the white coupe may have been the heavy-equipment operator's foreman's car, but who knows? The on-camera interview seems awfully conveniently placed, yes? See for yourself in the video below and then leave us your thoughts in Comments.
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!
