1986 Mercedes-Benz 190D - 5-Speed Manual! This is the one you have been waiting for!
Well, here it is. Here is the one you have been waiting,
and hoping for! You knew somewhere, someplace there was a
190D Diesel sitting in someone's garage that is still in
impeccable condition and still being maintained to the high
standard that Mercedes-Benz set for this car in 1986. Of course
as the days, weeks, months and possibly years go by and your
search turns up absolutely nothing. You begin to wonder if
any such car exists, or have all the old classic Mercedes-Benz
Diesels been driven and worn out? The answer is no, not
all of them. We managed to locate a survivor. An
unmolested, non-smoker, wonderfully maintained, bona-fied
example of a 1986 Mercedes-Benz 190D Diesels that appears to
have not been fazed by the 28 years that has gone by since this
car rolled off the showroom floor. This Mercedes-Benz 190D has proven itself an instant classic,
and you'll enjoy pulling up and making an impression with this
car. I personally have never seen a car with a personality
that even comes close to this car's. Every time I have parked
this car I have found myself doing one thing over and over
again. Once I've walked about 20 or 30 feet I'll turn
around and take a second look at the car and marvel at how
beautiful it is. Then I remember that the car is
mine! It's a great feeling to have over and over again,
and with this car you can have that! This car proclaims
status and class anywhere it is driven. There aren't
many 28 year old cars that you can still drive around this day
and still make an impression. This car has a timeless body
style which will always have the place in many people's heart no
matter where automotive design decides to go in the future. Here is a very rare chance go get a highly desired and very
hard to find example of one of the best cars Mercedes-Benz ever
made! Up for auction is a 1986 Mercedes-Benz 190D Diesel!
This 2.5 liter Inline-5 cylinder diesel engine is regarded by
most Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts as the best diesel engine ever
placed in a Mercedes! You'll really fall in love with this
2.5 liter diesel engine! The mileage on the ad was
not a misprint. This car really has 145,935 actual miles
on it. We have checked around and under the car and have
found absolutely no rust! Not to mention this car is a
diesel! Now if that wasn't an accomplishment in itself,
this car still runs like new! I kid you not. The
car's owner had a great standard in caring for the car which has
kept it running and looking very nicely! This car still
handles like new. The car is incredibly great. The
owner of this car treated this car with the level of care that I
have never seen before. This car is at its infancy.
Mercedes-Benz diesels have earned a reputation for being some of
the most reliable engines ever produced. They're EXPECTED
to go 500,000 miles without any major work meaning if you make
an effort to keep the car well maintained they can last even
longer! You've probably noticed that when you look
at the older Mercedes-Benz models you seldomly see the gas
engine cars still on the road from the 70s and 80s. For
the most part, they're diesels! That should tell you
something. Of course the car's condition agrees with that
as it's far too nice to have been passed around between
owners. The car has never, ever been smoked in! The car has what most people consider to be the best color
combination ever offered on one of these cars, White on the
outside with Beige leather on the inside. The color combination
is incredible, and really makes this car look elegant! The
exterior finish on this garage-kept car is in very good shape
and shines well. The paint and body look fantastic with
very few flaws to be found, even under close
inspection. The car's body is straight. The
car appears to have never been in an accident. The body
lines are straight and true. You'll really be impressed
with it! The front lights are in good shape, and the
headlight surrounds, and grille are clean and virtually as new.
You'll really be impressed by how nice everything looks on the
outside and especially the inside. It's like stepping back
into time. This really is the opportunity of a lifetime! What will really impress you is the condition of the car's
interior. You'll be amazed by how nice it is! It
really is impeccable inside! The seats are still in
fantastic condition. Just look at the pictures! The
front and rear seats look like they've hardly been used much
less been around for 28 years! The car's interior is
everything you'd expect for such a low mileage, well preserved
car! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
You'll be absolutely impressed by the car's interior
condition. You have plenty of room in the back for the
entire family. The trunk has plenty of room for whatever
you'd like to place back there with a full sized spare in the
back. All the car's features are standard. It came
with everything! The power windows, power locks, and power
mirror works just fine. The power sunroof still works
great. It opens and closes quickly! You won't be
using the power windows much thanks to the car's cold a/c!
The heat is also working great! The stereo system
works great and provides great sound. There are no blown
speakers! Of course the car's never ever been smoked
in! The instrument cluster works just as it should, none
of the warning lights remain illuminated on the car. You'll
really be impressed with the inside of this car! If the looks of the car didn't already impress you, then
getting behind the wheel and driving the car will take your
breath away! This is where you really see how well this
car has really been kept! After driving this car it seems
silly to spend big money on a newer one when you can get a
quality pre-owned Mercedes that has plenty of character and a
highly desired, much more reliable diesel engine for so much
less! The glow plugs heat right up, and the diesel fires
right to life with a smooth and friendly clatter. The engine
accessories turn quietly and work well, with the AC compressor
keeping the inside very cool and the alternator keeping the
battery well charged. The undercarriage of the car is very
clean. Under the hood is very clean. The steering is
tight, smooth and easy. The suspension feels to be in good
shape. Keeping you snug on the road is a very good set of
tires! They are matched to a beautiful set of the original
Mercedes-Benz alloy wheels which still look great! You
won't have to worry about tires for quite some time with this
car! The car provides more comfort than most modern new
cars could ever hope to provide! It handles very
well. You can tell that this car was maintained to the
highest standard and has received only the best care and the
most careful driving since it was new. The car simply
would not run and handle this well at 28 years old if this
wasn't the case! Simply incredible! The 2.5 Liter
5-Cylinder Diesel engine, while very comfortable and smooth has
the ability to get up and go whenever you need it to!
You'll be very pleased to know that even while getting
incredible gas mileage the car can get up and go when it needs
to! The 5-speed manual transmission still shifts just as
it should. The clutch feels great! When you need to
get this car stopped, the brakes will do it just as they are
supposed to do, stopping the car evenly and effectively. If you are looking for a safe, strong and very clean W201
diesel sedan with most of the life left in it, this would be an
excellent choice. Diesels get excellent fuel economy while
delivering smooth power and legendary engine life. This one
feels solid, quiet and tight at highway speeds as a Mercedes
should, and is a joy to drive around town. If kept on a proper
schedule of regular maintenance, this car will deliver another
300,000 miles or more without requiring anything more than
routine service. With all that said you might ask, "well, how much?". We
honestly don't know what to ask for this car because there
really isn't anything quite like this on the market so we can't
price the car accordingly. So we put the car up for
auction and we'll let you decide how much you'd like to buy this
beautiful Mercedes-Benz 1986 190D Diesel for! Bid to
win, and rest assured you are not wasting your time! We

Why all of this year's F1 noses are so ugly [w/video]
Fri, 31 Jan 2014If you're a serious fan of Formula One, you already know all about The Great Nosecone Conundrum of 2014. Those given to parsing each year's F1 regulations predicted the strong possibility of the so-called "anteater" noses as far back as early December 2013. Highly suggestive visual evidence first came after Caterham's crash test in early January, with further proof coming as soon as Williams showed a rendering of the FW36 challenger for this year's championship. That car earned a name that wasn't nearly so kind as "anteater."
Casual followers of the sport - or anyone who gets the feed from this site - probably don't know what's happening, except to wonder why the current year's F1 cars are led by appendages that would make Cyrano de Bergerac feel a whole lot better about himself.
The short answer to the question of ugsome F1 noses is "FIA regulations and safety." The reason there are various kinds of ugsome noses is simpler: engineers. The same boffins who have given us advances including carbon fiber monocoques, six-wheeled cars, double diffusers and Drag Reduction Systems are bred to do everything in their power to exploit every possible freedom in the regulations to make the cars they're building go faster - the caveat being that those advances have to work within the overall philosophy of the whole car.
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.
2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 Sport
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Mercedes Makes A Mighty Little Sedan
We got overexcited when the W203 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan came out in 2001, calling it the "Baby Benz" when it really wasn't. We knew that, too, but our enthusiasm for a model more like the old 190 of the '80s was so strong that we were willing to stretch the first-gen C-Class to fit that mold. Today, the C-Class has done what all German premium cars do: grown in size. In this case, grown to satisfy the market intentions of the previous E-Class.
There was the tall A-Class sold from 1998 through 2010, but we never considered that a serious small Benz in the proper spirit, nor was it ever offered in the US. Regardless, we've been craving a smaller, premium, sexy sedan all the while.
