Original Paint with Absolutely NO Rust. No dings. Outstanding Interior no cracks on the dash. There is one minor flaw in the paint that you must carefully look for. There are several small very minor rock chips in the paint. This car was kept in a climate controlled garage till I bought it."

I am selling this Mercedes 300CD COUPE because I do not have garage space to store it inside.  It sits in my driveway covered.  It really needs to be in a garage to preserve its fine ORIGINAL qualities. I travel extensively and the car just sits in my driveway.  I live in the San Diego are so the weather is mild.  If I had garage space I would keep this car because it is very special.  

Special Qualities -  View the pictures.  The windshield has the original decals in the lower corners of the window.  These decals disappeared quickly on most cars due to sun fading and sun damage.  The interior door panels are NOT all wrinkled from the sun.  The instrument panel gauge pointers are NOT faded. The dash is not cracked.  Not a spec of rust.  The radio/stereo is a German Becker that came from a late model Porsche.  It is AM/FM with a CD player and has an IPOD plug that charges your Ipod.  I have the original radio that works just fine. There are 5 Chrome wheels and 5 matching tires. Bosche German European headlights included as shown in the photos and I have a set of standard lights that will go with it. The AC blows cold. All windows operate as designed.  The push button ventilation controller was replaced and the heater fan motor was replaced.  These features and in this condition is VERY VERY Rare.

Negatives - there is a flaw noted on the car fax.  I was told the rear window was replaced.  I had this car thoroughly inspected and there is no overspray and no signs of any body damage. The chrome on the wheels is starting to show its age.  the wheels look fine but if you inspect closely there is some flaws showing in the chrome.  The tires are showing some minor cracking.  The buzzer that worns you when you leave your lights on is not working.  I have another switch that I will include.  The engine is not leaking oil but there are signs of oil on the engine.  The rubber wipers on the door windows is showing some aging. The air blows intermittently from the 2 center vents. 

If you want additional information call John 619 261 3398.  I do not have any service records however if you inpsect this car it is evident that the miles are original.  It is 1 in a 1000 car.  I would rate this  car 9.5 on 10.  I have been followed and stopped many times by people wanting to view the car.  If you want a 300CD this one is worth checking out and spending a bit more to get one that is this nice.

2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec gets 33 mpg, priced from $38,950*

Tue, 30 Apr 2013

It's been more than a year since we first saw the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec unveiled at the 2012 New York Auto Show, but it looks like the compact diesel crossover is finally starting to roll into dealerships. Those wanting to buy a diesel GLK will only have to pony up an extra $1,500 over a base, gas-powered GLK350, as the GLK250's starting price is listed at $38,590 (*not including $905 destination charge).
The turbocharged 2.1-liter four-cylinder diesel produces 200 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and Mercedes-Benz has also provided some fuel economy numbers for this model, with claimed EPA estimates of 24 miles per gallon city and 33 mpg highway. There is no listing for the GLK250 on the EPA's website yet, but the figures represent significant increase over the GLK350's lackluster 19 mpg city and 25 mpg highway figures, which are for the rear-wheel drive model. The GLK250 comes standard with the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system - a $2,000 option on GLK350 - meaning that if you want an all-wheel-drive version of the 2013 GLK, it's actually cheaper to opt for the diesel model. Head over to the Mercedes-Benz site for the full 2013 GLK-Class configurator.

2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Now Even Sharper Than The Razor's Edge
There have been five Black Series models since the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Black Series introduced itself to European audiences in 2006. Following that, the Black Series club has hosted appearances by the 2008 CLK63 AMG Black Series, the 2009 SL65 AMG Black Series and last year's 2013 C63 AMG Black Series. The sixth member of the group is one we would have thought already was a Black Series car in its standard guise. Right out of the box, the SLS AMG is loud, frenetic, cozy, boisterous and frightfully easy to oversteer. How much more Black did it need to get?
Quite a bit so, apparently. The SLS AMG Black Series has lost weight, gained power and been refitted with upgrades and aero bits from front to rear. If you liked the way it looked before, you'll probably be an even bigger fan of this one. If you thought it looked ungainly, well, this one should stay even further away from pageants. Regardless of where you come down this is the best SLS AMG variant we've driven.

UK workers strand car on island of asphalt to keep working

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

Generally speaking, when you illegally park your car, you're likely to get ticketed and towed, but there is probably at least one motorist in Scotland who wishes that was the case. After workers had blocked off a portion of the parking lot for the Edinburgh Waverley railway station, the driver of this Mercedes-Benz S-Class reportedly moved some of the barriers to park in one of the empty spots.
Rather than having the vehicle towed, the work crew simply tore up the asphalt around the leaving just the one parking spot intact, and as you can see in the image above (posted to the Twitter account of Harold Norstad), the crew even built a small asphalt ramp so the car could get off its blacktop pedestal. Since this happened last week, there's no word as to whether the car was eventually moved or towed for the resurfacing work to continue.
Let this be a warning...
