1960 Mercedes-benz 190db Base 1.8l on 2040-cars
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
This is a beautiful 87 Mercedes with the EXTREMELY rare 2.5 engine
WITH MANUAL transmission! You can look for these but they aren't easy to
find as most are automatics. This vehicle was purchased from the
original owner. I looked for this car for a few years before I finally
found one. What I didn't know if that there isn't a tremendous amount of
room for a big guy. I used to own a 240d that had much more room. My
other car is a Expedition and this 190 is a bit tight as I'm 6' 5". The
car has given me back pains trying to drive it for extended periods. It
runs well and starts reliably every time. It has the typical Mercedes
jackpoint rust. There is NO rust on or through any of the floorboards.
One of the fuel lines had a leak and the line was replaced with a new
part from Mercedes. Some of the vacuum lines have been replaced. The
vehicle has a second set of tires that come with it. The clutch and
slave cylinder were recently done and some exhaust and driveshaft work.
The vehicle passed inspection without issue. Everything works except
rear windows, dash clock and tach. The odometer doesn't work but the
speedometer does. The a/c and heater fan are quirky at times. Many of
the issues the vehicle has are minor adjustments. The paint shines
pretty good but does have scratches as could be expected for its age.
This car should last for years with a loving owner. LOW NADA is $3700 on
this vehicle. I'm letting it go to a lucky new owner for LOW RESERVE.
Any questions, please ask.

2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Edition 507 still lights our fire
Wed, 06 Mar 2013The current Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG may be in the autumn of its years, but it's still one of our very favorite sport sedans. Ever. Yes, its paddle-shift transmission may not always follow orders, but with stupendous levels of thrust from its charismatic naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8, ebullient rear-wheel-drive dynamics and that noise, we frankly don't care that it's getting on a bit.
As a sendoff of sorts for the current generation, Mercedes-Benz has just introduced a new Edition 507 model at the Geneva Motor Show, with 507 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque - an increase of 56 horses over the standard car. Mercedes credits the substitution of low-mass internals from the SLS AMG gullwing for the power bump, a tactic shared with the AMG Development Package upgrade that has been subsumed by this Edition 507. 0-60 is quoted at 4.1 seconds and top speed at 174 mph.
The Edition 507 borrows its aluminum hood from the C63 AMG Black Series Coupe, along with spidery new 19-inch wheels in either titanium gray finish or matte black with shiny rim flanges. As seen on our gallery car above, a sports striping package is also featured, as are glossy black grille, daytime running lamps, spoiler and mirror caps.
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).

Mercedes calls CLA 'best launch in 20 years' as it warns dealers of tight supplies
Fri, 13 Dec 2013It's still in the early going, but it's looking more and more like the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA is a verifiable home run for the German brand. According to a new report from Bloomberg, the new small car isn't just widening the sales gap between Mercedes and BMW, it's attracting a new, younger breed of customers into the brand's showrooms. But that early success is straining supplies of the turbocharged four-door.
Dealers have been warned that the first half of 2014 will see limited supplies for CLA, with a letter to dealers indicating that "tight inventories and low days supply" will exist from February through June, despite the car's Kecskemét, Hungary plant running at full tilt.
"This is our best launch in 20 years," said Steve Cannon, the US boss for Mercedes. "The CLA has been a phenomenal success right out of the gate." The numbers certainly support that. We reported in early October that Mercedes moved 2,300 CLAs in its first week on sale, and now Bloomberg is saying CLA sales were almost singlehandedly responsible for Benz's November sales gains. Mercedes' annual sales are up 14 percent through the November, and it's enjoying a healthy 7,600-car lead over BMW.
