1985 Mercedes Benz 300td Wagon W123 'dan In Real Life' Steve Carell Movie on 2040-cars
Walpole, Massachusetts, United States
|
Welcome to my auction. I've owned many of these model 123 Turbo Diesels, and purchased this car a last month, with the intent to resell. This is a no reserve auction. My trusted mechanic has worked on this car while owned by the previous owner, and I bought it based on his good overall opinion of this car. My ideal winning bidder will have watched the many Mercedes Repair videos by MercedesSource.com on YouTube. It is the best source of Mercedes mechanical help, and will prepare the winning bidder about how to buy and care for this Mercedes. The car starts easily, runs and drives well. It needs drivers side rocker panel repair/welding/patching (behind front drivers side wheel) and drivers seat floor area repair. Please know this before making an offer or bidding. I have a 2 body molding pieces that are off the car on the lower passenger side. I was told from the previous owner that 5 years ago the odometer worked/didn't work. I'm selling this as true miles unknown. The Title and Bill of Sale is ready to be signed over to the winning bidder from the previous owner. The a/c compressor is fairly new however the a/c system is not operative. The interior vent fan works only in defrost. It has a manual sunroof. The heat works with no odd smells. The vacuum lines look good however are untested with the door locks and other functions. The rear hatch isn't opening, and needs fixing. I have not gone thru this car to report if all the windows work or not. I know all the exterior lights work. The grill should be replaced as I put on the current one from my spare collection. Note some of the Google pictures show the original grill. The previous owner wanted to keep the clean grill, since they had owned the car since 1994 till recently, and were attached to this car :( The air filter housing needs fixing and it currently can rattle (common issue). Mercedessource sells a repair kit. There is a 3rd seat in the trunk however I have not opened it all the way to inspect. The tires are in very good condition. The shocks are average. The brakes are good. I have an extra rear bumper that is available for sale for $200 extra should the winning bidder wish to purchase, and also the stock rims for $200 additional. The car starts easily, with no excess smoke or noises. See my other auction thru Sunday for a 1983 300CD .
I'm letting the many photos speak for the car. Here's a link for many photos (again remember the nice grill is gone, so look for the old grill which is currently on the car).
Thanks and happy bidding.

Mercedes-Petronas AMG W04 launched to little fanfare, lots of pressure [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013No indoor cocktail hour for the launch of the W04, the newest chassis built by the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One team. Instead, Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton spent a morning in photo and video sessions at the track in Jerez, Spain then paused a moment to introduce the car. The team will want the W04 to demonstrate the World Championship credentials of the team personnel and one of the team drivers, instead of the mostly humble performances we've seen over the past three years.
The W04 has been fitted with a new five-element front wing, pushrod front and pull-rod rear suspension, a second-generation Coanda exhaust and an "aggressively packaged" rear end. A small vanity panel, à la Infiniti Red Bull's RB9, covers the stepped nose.
Team principal Ross Brawn has called it "a clear step forward in design and detail sophistication," but as much as we truly respect Brawn's abilities and achievements, we heard him say similar things about the updated W03 last year before almost every race weekend from about mid-season. We really hope he's right this time, and so does the team's newest driver, Lewis Hamilton. We'll do our best to ignore the parallels of the Mercedes F1 team having signed a sponsorship deal with Blackberry, another company trying to find its way back to the top and still struggling, and just point you to the video below of the W04 in action.
The Mansory Speranza proves that money can buy taste and good sense...
Tue, 05 Mar 2013...Just kidding.
No one in their right mind has ever accused German tuners Mansory of being subtle. So, when our Geneva team wandered across the Mansory Speranza - A Mercedes-Benz Gelandewagen that has been denuded of its roof and spackled inside with quilted leather and red carbon fiber - they didn't ask a lot of existential questions. Why does the Speranza exist? Because Germans are weird sometimes, that's why.
Forget for a moment that you'll have to pay Mansory hundreds of thousands of euros (we're guessing, no pricing information has been revealed) for the privilege of converting your G-Class into something that looks like a Suzuki Samurai, and prepare to be impressed by the details. The tuning house has increased the output of the Mercedes V8 to a healthy 700 horsepower and 668 pound-feet of torque. The wheels are 24-inches, and wear almost unbelievable 305-section ultra-high performance Vresdestein tires. Carbon fiber can be found nearly everywhere one looks, including making up the housing for the spare tire. Oh, and there are leather pillows for the backseats... no word on whether they're standard or optional, but we're looking in to it.
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."
