So if you are looking at this vehicle, then you are presumably a fan of W126 Mercs and you understand the rarity of this particular vehicle. This was the last year of production for the finest S-Class ever built and out of the over 800,000 produced, just over 2,000 were 350SD models. I searched everywhere to find one of these and she is beautiful. I apologize that the pictures don't do her justice but here is the description and please contact me if you have ANY questions at all. The interior of this car is what sold me. Despite having 136k miles on her, which as you are aware is nothing for this vehicle, the interior is simply incredible. Everything works except for the radio as I need to call Mercedes for the reset code. We pulled the radio to get the serial code off the back so we should be good to go. There are no lights on whatsover and all of the windows, sunroof, a/c, power antenae, etc. work great. You can tell that this car has spent it's life inside as the gauge (speedo, etc) needles are bright and orange as they should be. So many are badly sun faded. The wood is simply excellent with only a hairline crack in the gear shift surround in the typical place these crack. I wouldn't replace it as its too nice and keeps the car authentic. The car starts and drives amazing. I have a new S350 Bluetech and I swear this car cruises just as nice. I am not aware of any mechanical defects except that she does drip some oil which is not unusual for these old diesels. The exterior is in very good condition but not a perfect 10. The hood has some slight oxidation but should buff out fine with a professional wax. There are a few door dings with the most major being in the driver door which is a crease but popable. I included a picture of the most major exterior issue which is a scratch on the rear bumper. There are a the usual scratches and dings here and there but anyone who sees the car is amazed at its condition being 22 years old. If you are local, I highly encourage you to come see it. I am selling the vehicle as I am now paying to store her in a heated warehouse and I only get to drive her every few weeks for a spin around the block just to warm her up and keep her fresh. She stays covered and on a battery tender when in storage. Again, I have been probably overly critical of the condition of this vehicle, but ask any questions you have. Happy to take more photos if need be.

Europe getting special Mercedes-Benz CLA Edition 1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Last week when we saw the leaked ordering guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, one particular image caught our eye showing the interior of the new sedan with a neon yellow stripe on the seats and yellow stitching throughout the cabin. As it turns out, this will be part of a limited-edition model called the Edition 1 about which Mercedes-Benz just released some information.
Usually, automakers wait until later in a vehicle's life to introduce special models like this, but the Edition 1 will be available right out of the gate for the first 12 months the CLA-Class is on sale. The 2014 CLA-Class Edition 1 includes the more aggressive Sport package adding AMG-style fascias and wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights and a lowered suspension; it will be offered only in five colors - unfortunately, Northern Lights Purple is not one of them. In addition to the bright yellow cabin accents, the Edition 1 will get sport seats wrapped in leather and microfiber, a sporty, flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather and real aluminum trim on the instrument panel.
With no mention of the US, we're only left to imagine that this car will not be arriving on our shores, but customers in Europe will definitely be able to enjoy the mean styling and funky interior with prices ranging from 35,402 euros up to 43,940 euros.
Boston bombers were tracked using Mercedes mbrace [w/video]
Sun, 28 Apr 2013We now know Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the two brothers said to be behind the Boston Marathon bombings, planned to head for New York City to detonate more improvised explosive devices. As it turns out, that plan was foiled by the quick thinking of one Mercedes-Benz owner, diligent police work and the Mercedes-Benz mbrace system. When the brothers carjacked a 26-year-old Chinese entrepreneur identified only as "Danny," they didn't realize his Mercedes-Benz M-Class was equipped with the mbrace system, which can call for help in the event of an accident or track the vehicle in the event of a theft.
According to reports, the Tsarnaev brothers held Danny hostage for nearly 90 minutes while they drove around Boston forming a plan until they had to stop for fuel. When one of the brothers went inside to pay, the other put his gun down for a moment. Danny took the opportunity to unlatch his seat belt, open the door and run to another nearby gas station, where he told the owner to call the police.
When police arrived, they used the mbrace system to track the SUV after receiving Danny's permission, and it wasn't long before a shootout between police and the brothers ensued. When it was over, the eldest brother lay dead in the street. For more on the story, view the video report available below.
Paul di Resta returns to DTM with Mercedes
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Some drivers manage to make the transition from one form of motor racing into another, and some run into trouble. Take Paul di Resta, for example. The promising young Scottish driver dominated Formula 3 racing in Europe in 2006, then moved over to Germany's hugely competitive DTM touring car series where he finished second in 2008, third in 2009 and first in 2010. But things didn't go as smoothly for Paul - cousin to retired Indy champion Dario Franchitti - when he moved in to Formula One with the Force India team.
In three years on the grid, he failed to score a single podium finish. Little surprise, then, that Force India opted not to renew his contract for this season. Left without a ride, di Resta is now going back to DTM with longtime supporter Mercedes-Benz, testing the new C-Class touring car today in Portugal. It's good news for Mercedes, which is celebrating 120 years in motor racing this season and, with 2005 champion Gary Paffett also on board, can now count two former champions on its DTM roster.
We wouldn't count Paul out of F1 for good, though. When he won the DTM title four years ago, he was also moonlighting as Force India's test driver, and we wouldn't be surprised to see him pull similar double-duty with the Mercedes F1 team (or another Benz-powered outfit) this year before spring-boarding back into grand prix racing in the future. At 27 years old, he may not have been the youngest driver on the grid this year, but he's still got a good few years ahead of him.
