The last of the great series of W123's.  The TD is in wonderful condition commensurate with it's age.  I'll be the first to say it's not perfect.  That being said, the car is air tight with no leaks in the sunroof or door/windows.  Originally a Florida car, it has no rust that I can see except the rear left lower rocker panel area.  It's minimal, but it is there.  The exterior, other than that, is very good.  Yes, there are scratches and probably 5 to 6 door dings when you get up close.  The engine starts right up every time, even in the coldest temperatures in Oklahoma.  Drives very straight.  I don't live in the US and have driven the car only a few times this year.  I believe it does need service to make it run like it should.  So with service to bring it up to the standard it should be, the car would be rock solid.  Condition of the seats and upholstery is excellent; the carpet I would rate as average.  Headliner and sunroof are excellent; sunroof works just fine.

I've included pictures, but if you have questions or need more info, just ask and I'll let you know anything I know.  The reserve is pretty low compared to the other TD's I've seen here and on other trader sites.  I will help arrange shipping or pick up, but can't deliver.  

The car is currently having the major service done.  New motor mounts and transmission mount also.  The car will run wonderfully when it's finished with the service.  The A/C system was changed to the new freon system by the previous owner(unknown to me when I bought the car) and the heater does not work.  I've been told it's a vacuum problem created when the A/C was converted and is fixable.  Might have more information when they are in there for the major service.  Hazard lights do not work right now.  Locks work, but they are slow like most older vacuum system items.  Antenna is unplugged, but the radio is the original and does turn on and off.  Seats are in great condition, but there are a few trim items that aren't perfect.  IE., netting on the back of the seat is not connected at the bottom. Crazy the guy that sold this to me said it was perfect.  And I believed him without checking it out.  Don't be fooled by the Ebay vehicle purchase protection, they will not help you get satisfaction at all when it involves a vehicle of this age.  I am not like that and will answer all questions regarding this car.  Getting more pictures will be difficult, as I'm in Asia and the car is in Tulsa.  But, I will describe anything you ask and feel free to have the vehicle inspected.

New details emerge on forthcoming Mercedes-Benz SLC

Sat, 02 Feb 2013

Last we heard, the Mercedes-Benz SLC had been put on indefinite hold, but now Car Magazine is reporting that the Porsche 911-fighting "Baby SLS" coupe could be on sale by 2015. Riding on a modified SLS AMG chassis, the smaller and lighter SLC could be priced in the sub-$100,000 price bracket.
We'd already heard that the new car would feature conventional doors (instead of SLS-like gullwing doors), but this report focuses on some of the possible powertrains Mercedes-Benz is likely to use. At launch, the SLC could offer a pair of V8-powered models - a 485-horsepower SLC and a 585-hp SLC S - both being powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. About a year after launch, a new V6 model could emerge giving the SLC an estimated 333 horsepower and its lowest price point.
It also sounds like the car's name hasn't been completely finalized as some people within Mercedes are favoring a return of the SLR name.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class caught totally undisguised

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Based on the lightly camouflaged spy shots of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class we've seen lately, it hasn't taken a vivid imagination to picture what the next iteration of this big luxury sedan will look like. Even so, we now we have our first unobstructed views of the redesigned S-Class, codenamed W222, as it has just been caught out flaunting for some promo shots.
The first thing we notice about the new S-Class design is the disappearance of the last generation's flared wheel arches. Yet the new design adds even more character with bodyside creases similar to the CLS-Class and some elements reminiscent of 2007's F700 Concept, including the massive grille and vertical LED taillights. Other key details include a large panoramic roof and the narrow exhaust outlets, but the large LED-trimmed headlights and the aggressive front fascia are probably the biggest departure from the current design. With these spy shots, we also catch a blurry shot of the interior, but we've seen a practically uncovered look at the new S-Class' cabin back in January.
Overall, the next S-Class sports an expressive and premium new look, but as far as all-new designs go, it's quite conservative - a move no doubt fitting for these lean financial times.

Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG shows up to fight the hottest hatches [w/videos]

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Fun coincidence. On the same day that Audi announces the unveiling of its new S3 Sportback at the Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz steals the spotlight by confirming that the all-new A45 AMG will also receive its official debut early next month. Starting life as the entry-level A-Class hatchback, the A45 AMG gets the full AMG treatment, which includes numerous performance, handling and styling upgrades.
Under the hood sits an AMG-tuned 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 breathing through a sport exhaust system helping the five-door produce 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired to a seven-speed AMG dual-clutch transmission and power is sent to the ground using 4Matic all-wheel drive. Mercedes-Benz says that the A45 AMG will be able to accelerate from 0-60 miles per hour in under 4.5 seconds and it will have a top speed of 155 mph; in the land of hot hatches, it doesn't get much hotter than that. For added performance and handling, AMG has retuned the A-Class' suspension and steering systems and equipped The A45 with a three-stage stability control system that is specific to this car.
Surprisingly, the exterior styling of the A-Class was already sporty enough that the new model doesn't receive too many changes to become the A45 AMG. The biggest alterations include black accents to the chin spoiler, rocker panels and mirror caps, black wheels with red-painted brake calipers and rectangular dual exhaust outlets. Inside, it doesn't take a trained eye to spot the differences. The flat-bottomed sport steering wheel and the numerous red accents throughout the cabin (including the seatbelts!) really help to make this AMG interior stand out; front passengers will also get sport bucket seats that appear to be more than supportive enough for even the most spirited driving conditions.
