I am the 3rd owner of this car and have lovingly maintained it for 4 1/2 years with close to no problems. I have replaced the ignition cylinder, the vacuum pump, the battery and the tires. Other than that all I have had to do is regular oil changes.

The PROS:
Sun roof and automatic windows work.
Runs very good, has a strong engine, with regular oil changes and maintenance.
A well maintained diesel engined 300 turbo Mercedes Benz can run up to 1,000,000 miles, it will run as long as you pour diesel and oil
NO electronic system, therefore no sensors to replace.
Straight body, all trims and emblem intact ,
New battery and tires less than a year old.
Very safe big car that gets great gas mileage.
The car starts quickly, even on colder days.
It runs smoothly, with plenty of power from the turbo.
The transmission shifts sure and true.
The ride is very smooth and solid.
It is a great candidate for a vegetable oil burning system conversion so you can run as you wish diesel, bio-diesel or vegetable oil
Diesel is 1/2 cost of gas and vegetable oil is 1/2 of diesel so great savings.
I have full coverage insurance and pay under $75 a month and the registration fees in CA are only $83 a year.
The registration is already renewed until next March.
This car was always in Southern California so no rusting

The CONS:
There are some minor cosmetic things like a couple small tears near the ceiling lights in the headliner and small paint chips missing near the wheel wells and the driver's seat is worn (but still very comfortable).
The heat works but the A/C does not. I am not sure if this is due to the condensor or if it just needs freon.
The speedometer and odometer do not work. They have not since I have had the car but I have never found this to be an issue.

An atheistically pristine model of this car which would normally go for $4,500. Since there are a couple of cosmetic issues I am pricing it to sell. Contact me with any questions.

Mercedes dealers authorized to spend $2,500 on perks for S-Class customers

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

If you drop $100,000 on a luxury sedan, it seems only reasonable to receive some preferential treatment at the dealership you purchased from. After all, that price isn't just for the car - you're paying for the brand and all the cachet that entails. For Mercedes-Benz, those benefits have apparently been lacking relative to the German brand's luxury competitors.
That's set to change, though, as Automotive News reports that the German brand is placing a much greater emphasis on keeping its customers happy and loyal with its MB Select program. Starting with the new S-Class and spreading to the CLA-Class (and eventually beyond), dealers are being given money - up to $2,500 in the case of the flagship sedan - just to improve the customer experience.
We agree, improving the "customer experience" is quite a vague term, so it's nice that Mercedes USA's CEO, Steve Cannon, offered up some examples to AN at the LA Auto Show. For example, a customer couldn't fit his sunglasses into the overhead compartment. "So we bought him a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses that fit because of their shape," Cannon said.

Mercedes-Benz releases US-spec 2014 Sprinter details

Mon, 06 May 2013

Last week, Mercedes-Benz released the details for the updated 2013 Sprinter intended for global markets, but this week it has announced what changes are being made to the US-spec version of the van for the 2014 model year, including the Freightliner model. As expected, most of the changes made to the European model will be present on the 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter when it goes on sale in the US, which is expected to be this fall.
The biggest difference between the Sprinter announced last week and the one headed to our shores is what is found under the hood. While European Sprinters will come with diesel engines and offer the availability of a supercharged four-cylinder gasoline or CNG engine, US Sprinters will still offer the 3.0-liter V6 BlueTEC diesel. This year's Sprinter now comes standard with a new base engine, the 2.1-liter four-cylinder BlueTEC diesel. This smaller engine will produce 161 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque, and will be paired to a seven-speed automatic transmission; the optional 3.0 V6 puts out 188 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, and will be mated to a six-speed auto.
Fuel economy for the new Sprinter has not been announced, but Mercedes-Benz has made numerous changes with the goal of improving efficiency. To this end you'll find a new, low-friction rear axle and the optimization for the generator, fuel pump and power steering pump.
