I am selling my 1985 300TD Wagon. I have owned the vehicle for several years as a project car with the intention of converting to a two tank veggie system--which did not pan out. I got the wagon from a friend of mine who bought it with a Salvage title from Merrill Cars and Parts. The wagon will crank if persuaded, although the battery is quite old. The machine is not in museum condition the paint is showing its age and the rear hydraulic shocks need to be replaced or rebuilt. There is a leak in the hatchback that seeps into the carpet, I presume the glass pane is the issue although I haven't tracked it down. Interior is relatively clean (I included pictures of the ugly aspects, driver's visor/center column/dash cracks) Odometer shows 321,576 on original engine and transmission. Model is 123T, date of manufacture is March 1985 making this one of later machines Mercedes' made of this model. While this is not a stellar specimen, my asking price is substantially lower than the few I've seen listed on here. VIN WDBAB93C9FF047346 happy trails.
Known issues:
Battery should be replaced, although after being cranked it handles things okay...
Rear Shocks will need to be rebuilt at some point
Leak in back right corner of hatchback
All five tires are worn out
Passenger visor fell off
Driver's mirror fell out
Paint is in fair to average condition (see pictures of fading and blistered area)
Sun and age have killed the sound barrier underneath the hood
Unexpected Positives:
two spare AC compressors
extra fuel filters
smooth idle
extra seat- for middle row
third row of seats for seating up to seven
upper ball joints were replaced
new air filter
Manual moonroof works and does not leak
all windows are original with the exception of the windshield.

Test drive the Mercedes SLS AMG Electric Drive with Chris Harris
Thu, 11 Apr 2013It's hard to not like the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT. The all-aluminum coupe is fitted with a wonderful naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. Not only does the burly combustion engine launch the two-seater to 60 miles per hour in less than four seconds, but it does so with one of the world's greatest exhaust soundtracks as it roars, burbles and cackles down the road.
But what happens when Mercedes-Benz takes away the V8 and its accompanying fire-burning song? Stripped of one of its most appealing assets, does the SLS lose its soul?
Chris Harris recently had the opportunity to take the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive for a track spin in Europe. Sans gasoline, but with four electric motors providing a combined 740 horsepower (737 pound-feet of torque), all-electric all-wheel drive coupe uses sophisticated torque vectoring and a multi-mode operating system to put oversteer - drifting! - back into the equation. Fun? You bet. See for yourself, below.
Mercedes to market Tesla-powered 2014 B-Class EV in U.S.
Thu, 05 Jul 2012Looks like another Tesla Motors investor will be looking to cash in on their connection. Autoweek reports Mercedes-Benz will offer their B-Class in the U.S. with Tesla propulsion.
The magazine says their source at the German automaker confirms plans for a B-Class electric-only vehicle. While Tesla already provides battery packs for the battery-powered Smart ForTwo, the B-Class EV will reportedly have Tesla batteries, motor and other components. U.S. residents should be able to procure one sometime in 2014.
The same Mercedes source says plans for a hybrid B-Class have been postponed for now. Adding a range-extending, gasoline-powered engine to an electric vehicle would put the car into a different class for which rebates and incentives aren't as favorable in the States.
Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG formalize technical partnership
Thu, 19 Dec 2013The development of a partnership between Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin has been a long time coming. The news dates back to 2008, and over the five years since was supposed to lead to a rejuvenation of both the Maybach and Lagonda brands. That program ultimately fell apart, but the tie-in was forged afresh in July when the two automakers signed a letter of intent over a renewed partnership. And now that partnership has been formalized.
In a deal just announced, Mercedes-AMG will build a new V8 engine for Aston Martin that will power a new generation of luxury GTs for the British marque, presumably to replace the 4.7-liter V8 in the Vantage. The relationship appears to be similar to the one already in place between AMG and Pagani, only in this case, will involve Daimler taking as much as a five-percent stake in Aston Martin and an observer seat on Aston's board.
The technical partnership is also set to lead to the supply of electric and electronic systems, and could incorporate "additional areas of cooperation in the future." Whether that will include a fresh attempt at reviving Lagonda remains to be seen, as does the future of Aston's long-serving, Ford-based 6.0-liter V12 engine. But for now you can read the full announcement below.
