Here i am selling a 1985 Mercedes 300TD turbo diesel wagon .1985 was the last year Mercedes built the wonderful 123 series estate . This particular car was finished in Champagne (MB color code 473) with Palomino color MB-tex interior . The body and the paint are in very nice condition as the many pictures will show . There are no dings,dents or scratches to speak of and the paint shines like on a much newer car . I do get compliments on this wagon whenever i take it out . 190k miles is actually considered low mileage for this kind of Mercedes . There are several cars with this engine on Ebay right now , which have over 400k miles on it and still running well . If you keep taking care of this kind of car , it really can last you a lifetime .They have a reputation for being the most durable and reliable car Mercedes made. The interior is also in amazing shape . There are no rips or tears in the seats, the carpets are clean but a little faded in spots and even the wood panels are in great condition . This car also had the rare option of the interior cargo net with a cover for the rear cargo area . The cargo net mounts to the back of the 2nd seat. You can attach it to the roof in that position. It also works with the 2nd seats folded down and attaches to the roof in a different spot, where it protects just the driver and front passenger. The cargo net/ rear area cover rewinds into a factory box finished in palomino and is removable with the turn of 2 hand screws. Maintenance was always performed and it shows when you drive it . Just last month a service was performed , fluids and filters changed and the motor mounts and one drive-shaft axle were replaced . The brakes were done at the same time . This wagon always starts up right away and it drives wonderful . It has plenty of power in town and on the freeway . It cruises comfortably at 90 miles per hour while still getting up to 27mpg of diesel . With the turbo it is not slow at all and a true pleasure to drive .It would be a perfect car for somebody who would want to drive it every day , even for long distances . It would also be the perfect candidate for a bio-diesel conversion , where you can drive it on vegetable oil or even free waste oil from restaurants . Even for a collector this car would make sense as a practical long term investment . It was the last year , prices are already appreciating and they just do not make them like this anymore. If you have any more questions or if you would like to schedule an appointment to come by and see this wagon , feel free to send me a quick note through Ebay and i will respond quickly . I would really prefer to sell this car to somebody local ,who could actually come by and see it . But i would also be helpful with shipping or a airport pick up for a out of town buyer . All sipping charges would have to be paid by the winning bidder. This is a wonderful , great driving 28 year old car and as such it will be sold " as is " , " where is " and WITHOUT a warranty . I am located in La Canada and i will make myself available for a test drive almost anytime . Thank you for looking at my auction and good luck ....

Mercedes-Benz intros long-wheelbase E-Class for China
Thu, 25 Apr 2013Long-wheelbase sedans are a pretty hot commodity in China, and to keep up with the competition, Mercedes-Benz has introduced an extended version of the 2014 E-Class sedan at the Shanghai Motor Show. Audi, BMW, Volvo and even Cadillac offer extended versions of sedans specific to the Chinese market, and now the E-Class L, shown off in E400L guise, will give luxury sedan buyers in China yet another option.
Compared to the standard 2014 E-Class sedan, the new China-spec E-Class L has been stretched by 5.5 inches - all of which goes to the rear-seat passengers. According to an article on China View from earlier in the year, the market for chauffeur-driven cars is growing in the Asian nation, so automakers need long-wheelbase models like the E-Class L in order to fully compete. As for what powers this stretched E-Class, it's available in three models: the diesel E260L, the V6-powered E300L and the E400 Hybrid.
The redesigned E-Class and the all-new A-Class are just the first of 20 new Mercedes-Benz products that will be introduced into the Chinese auto market by 2015. Scroll down for the full press release on long-wheelbase E.
Mercedes making aggressive plans for Chinese market
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Mercedes-Benz is preparing a major product offensive to counteract lagging sales in the Chinese market, aiming 20 new or updated models at the People's Republic in the next two years, according to a report by Reuters. The plan is part of MB's so-called 2020 Initiative, which will see the Stuttgart-based manufacturer dump 2 billion Euros ($2.67 billion) into its Chinese market vehicles in a bid to boost sales to 300,000 units by 2015.
Were it to succeed, China would become the largest market for the Silver Arrow, outpacing Germany and the United States. Leading the charge will be the redesigned E-Class, which is set to launch in China this week. That will quickly be followed by the S-Class, and eventually by the GLA-Class in 2014.
Mercedes has struggled in China, especially relative to its German competition, BMW and Audi. Where Mercedes saw a mere four-percent increase in 2012 sales to 206,150 units, Audi was up a staggering 32 percent, while BMW's numbers jumped 41 percent. While some voices, according to Reuters, accuse Munich and Ingolstadt of boosting their numbers through hefty incentives, the fact remains that Mercedes was just walloped by its competitors last year.
2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Make way for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, the most wonderfully preposterous car I have ever driven.
There is absolutely no reason why any two-seat roadster should be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 developing 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, but I sure am glad that Mercedes-Benz doesn't see things that way.
Drop into the leather-lined cockpit of this $213,145 provocateur, floor the accelerator pedal as I did over and over again, and 60 miles per hour falls in a traction-limited 3.9 seconds. Top speed has been electronically held to 186 mph (this apparently saves Gulfstream jet owners from embarrassment). Forget the SL550 and SL63 AMG, the valets will trip over themselves attending to the tycoon driving this thoroughbred - it's the real deal.
