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 releases 6x6 G63 AMG specs and pics [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Mercedes-Benz has finally dropped full details on its insane G63 AMG 6x6. The machine puts 544 horsepower to all six wheels thanks to a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8. A seven-speed gearbox shuttles power to the ground via three sets of portal axles, which helps give this machine a full 15.75 inches of ground clearance. By comparison, the standard G63 AMG sits with just 8.27 inches of ground clearance. The extra lift allows this 6x6 to ford nearly 40 inches of water and run massive 37-inch tires. All told, there are five differential locks on this thing, all controlled by a special "locking logic" that provides the best traction possible for any given situation.
The controls offer up three stages of locking, which we can only assume range from JKLOL to OMGWTF. Right now, AMG says this monstrosity is only a show vehicle, but we imagine it wouldn't take much to convince the team to whip up one of your very own. Check out our full gallery and the press release below for all the nitty gritty. While you're down there, you can also check out the video on the machine one more time.
EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
2013 Airstream Interstate 3500 EXT
Mon, 19 Aug 2013LA To The Grand Canyon In The Mercedes-Benz Of RVs
Piloting an 8,500-pound motorized house down the highway is far from my idea of fun, yet inexplicably, I'm enjoying myself. My grin has nothing to do with my camper's handling, as this heavily accoutered Mercedes-Benz Sprinter drives like a 25-foot long breadbox. My smile has nothing to do with on-road stability, as the ten-foot-tall, slab-sided vehicle reacts to wind gusts like the vertical stabilizer on a Boeing jet. My delight has nothing to do with its throttle or braking response, either, as both are as numb as your forehead after the eighth beer.
This monstrosity makes me happy for one reason - my passengers are undeniably having a good time.
