1983 Mercedes 300SD

HA! I was just about to post that one! Here are pics as well as the text in the ad.

"IT'S A DIESEL!

Selling this awesomely different Mercedes 300SD.Yes that is the exhaust stack. It's Awesome. It gets awesome fuel economy too, about 30-city and around 40-highway.

Car has 212k miles, oil recently changed all windows roll down (power windows)

she runs wonderful for her age! The upholstery is a little banged up but to be expected for an 83. Mechanically she is sound, these motors are famous for being super reliable. Im asking $1100 about. Have title."

30-40 ? I didnt think any of the turbo ones got that good ,,, ?

The stack clearly adds 20 mpg......

That's appeared on here before I think.

ALL cars get better mileage on CL and ebay, didn't you know that?

This VW makes that smoke-stack SD look restrained & tastefull! But at least, except that Rolls-nose and rear-hatch, it's still a basic beetle.
Back in the '80s I had an especially unpleasent test-drive in one of those fiberglass MG-TD replicals on a VW beetle chassis. Extremely uncomfortable, atrocious handling, and absolutely no stuctural integrity - probably the nastiest vehicle I've ever driven!

The Rolls grille on a Bug was common enough in the 70's. The car was not pretending to be a Rolls and was more of a Tee Hee , Ha Ha kind of mod.

Have a look at the $ 30,000 " Gambler " SL 320, I saw pics of this car a year ago. The tag line said the owner stopped doing drugs / drinking and put his eforts in to the car. I say yea for cleaning up his act, not so yea for the car.

Pics on Craigslist don't seem to work so well with my computer so I can't post them.

!!!!-----UNREAL MERCEDES SHOW CAR - SCARFICE-----!!!!

... odd, i had no problem doing it...:rolleyes:

Okay so he stopped doing the drugs and he needed to spend the cash he would normally spend on drugs on something else so he chose what he's fathers Mercedes? God I wish I had an endless supply of cash to spend on drugs.....the Mary Jane must have been medical cuz I think he was still high :D

So is he trying to say "Sacrifice" or is he saying the car was once owned by "Scarface"?

42 MPG Mercedes-Benz
 

42 MPG Mercedes-Benz

This car IS driven daily. Everything that is wrong with this car includes the back passenger window has quit rolling, but it is locked UP. The climate control isnt working, but I have found the relay (20.00 dollars online) that needs to be replaced to get it doing- it is a relay for the blower, the odometer quit about a year ago but benefit of the doubt- i would say its at 194k- this IS a diesel so it will go for WELL over 300,000. finally, the radio doesnt work properly, but I am including a kenwood car radio for free.
This car was converted to run on USED COOKING OIL OR DIESEL. It uses the same gas tank so you can even mix the two. This conversion is so simple to operate, a caveman could do it. Since Ive used grease in the car, Ive saved easily over 5k in fuel cost. IT is GREAT on fuel economy, diesel is about 37mpg and grease is getting about 41/42.
The car is a 1985 mercedes Benz 300SD Turrbo-Diesel. Yes, the turbo works GREAT. Car shifts great, and always starts right up with a good idle. Clean title, registered and inspected. All fluids maintained.

Call or text me for any additional information. price is FIRM but will consider trades of other fun cars.
I am a medical engineer student so I prefer cash! school has broken my wallet long ago!
214.463.6469 or email. thnx

way more than 194k on that. i've got 300k on mine and it looks pristine compared to that.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

A few months ago, Craigslist changed their picture system from fixed 4 to selectable. Pictures will pop up for a second or two then vanish from my screen.

They also added embedded maps further causing me problems.

click on the little pic, then the big pic stays put.
then right click on the big pic, and copy location...
then paste the location into the upload from url in manage attachments...
easy peasy...

That's not an unreasonable starting price for the car but if I bought it, I would trailer it home. I would also bring a hacksaw with me to cut off that silly hood stack so I would not be seen even trailering something that tacky. I'm a redneck for sure but hood stacks are for tractor pulls and tractor pulls only!

I trailered my car home but that was because the tags and inspection were long past expired and at the time, I had no one else to drive the car for me.

I beat you to this one. Been seeing it pop up for about 8 months or so. The guy changes the ad up every once in a while but it is the same car. He started it at around $1500, then suddenly changed his mind.

I think it is interesting that Silber Adler runs Linux on his PC. Looks like a Gnome GUI he's got.

Hi Eaton
Yeah my computer has been through heck and in some respects it is a turd. It started life about 10 years ago.

I had to take an angle grinder and cut out some of the case when I replaced the mother board about 7 years ago. Reinforced the case with a sheet of luan plywood. 6 years ago an ex employee set off a time bomb in the hard drive after she was discovered for embezzlement. The cooling fans are bungeed in with cable ties. I converted it to Linux about a year ago as it was so slow with windows.

Where was it apparent that I have Linux?

The screenshot you posted. The user interface was surely linux (gnome GUI).

Heck of a story. Now we can officially include your computer in the turd thread!

I would even venture a guess that you are using Ubuntu given its popularity in the last few years.

Picture of the computer or it didn't happen!

You twisted my arm. I forgot to mention that the power supply was replaced with a genuine Chinese unit after it threw a big spark internally. The main trouble with the new powersupply is that has enough electrical interference to prevent AM reception for about 100 yards around. The mother board is held to the plywood base with dry wall screws and held off it by blocks of yellow polyurethane foam.

My internet connection is nearly as unique.
I am using a cell phone modem attached to the focus of satellite dish to amplify the signal. Without it we don't get a signal.
http://www.veloliner.com/mb/dishmodem.JPG
I welded an extension onto the dish to put the modem at the focal point.

:D! What a hoot!

Here's a real turd:

'79 Mercedes Benz convertible

Attachment 110045

$4000 anyone?

Glurk
 

This one can be de-turded fairly easily - 69 Mercedes Benz 200 Diesel Can't be any newer than a '67 though.

Sixto
87 300D

If that 200 was closer I might actually consider buying it. It looks pretty solid....

Yeah, as bad as parts of that 200 look, its interior is nicer than my 220D. I think the turd/$ ratio for that car isn't actually that bad.

This one is just great....can you spot all the problems?

Mercedes-Benz : 300-Series Sedan in Mercedes-Benz | eBay Motors

WQhere should I start? The rust blooms or the hideous seat covers?

Is the prefilter red or is he running dyed fuel?

Haha, I like this game.

I didn't realize until seeing that 300D on ebay that some w123 cars came with a mono-wiper. Must have been a beta-version.

Upside-down trunk star....

I'm going to have to close this thread if posts don't follow the rules...:mad:
thread text, and a few pics need to be actually added to the post.
http://i.ebayimg.com/00/$T2eC16dHJH8...7NBrP!~~_4.JPG
and just linking the pic to the post don't do it.
you have to copy them to the forum, or if it's too big to copy, you need to download them, and resize them to fit.

The problem is, theres not enough pictures of the car but they were taken in a pretty fancy neighborhood so it must be a good car:D

Saw the 200D today
 

================================================

This 200D would take a lot of work. It would need to be completely stripped if the rust would allow a rebuild of the body. The paperwork calls it a 1968; perhaps it was a '67 first registered in '68 or something. Owner had it in storage yard as project car but stopped making rent payments and let it go. Storage yard wants to get rid of it. Here's what I saw:

• Engine complete except for battery
• Glass OK
• Four flat tires, car sits very low, cannot see underneath
• No wheel covers (trunk?)
• Windows hard to crank down due to growth of mold/moss on weatherstripping

• Package shelf and back of rear seat rotten
• Front seats and rear seat bottom OK but probably very musty
• Dash OK and apparently complete

• Trunk locked; cannot see underneath to determine whether rusted through.
• Doors all open and close solidly so body probably not tweaked
• Body visibly straight, no accidents or if accidents then well repaired
• LR tail area small damage (dings) and rust at side marker light, not rusted through
• Under doors rusty, poss from interior leaks (foot wells) but not rusted through; I poked around with a knife blade and didn't go through anywhere

• Interior water intrusion evident, probably due to aged weatherstripping.
• Rust LR footwell but not rusted through, feels solid
• Damp LF footwell
• Puddle RR footwell, couldn't find plug to drain 1/4" to 1/2" water under rotten rubber mat
• Moss growing in RF footwell

Craig's List TURD Thread
 

I think it could be an interesting exercise to take a terd & move it into "high-gear terd mode" by installing as many Yurro parts on the car as they make for that particular model & documenting wear-out & premature failure rates for the Yurro-y goodness.

Not a MB, or craigslist but still a turd
 

I drove it very little and only on sunny days..... HA!!
