I'm guessing that if you are looking at this listing, you already know how fantastic these cars are, so I won't spend a whole lot of time expounding upon the virtues of this lovely wagon. I've owned this car since 2008 and used it only as an occasional driver. The time has come to pass this car along to someone who can love it the way it truly deserves!
*The Awesome!*
-Only 65,000 miles. Really. The car was owned by an elderly woman in Arizona, who passed it on to her grandson up here in the Puget Sound area. He sold it to me after having it only for a short while, out of fear of ruining his Grandma's car.
-The interior is MB Tex in the Sienna color and in immaculate condition. The seats and carpeting look brand new, and there are no interior cracks anywhere on the dash.
-The vacuum system is still strong, though a little slow.
-We've recently replaced the climate control servo, which is a frequent source of problems with this car.
-I have all the books and most of the service records (there aren't many). I also have an extra set of hubcaps that I will include. These things may or may not seem awesome to you.
-Did I mention that it only has 65,000 miles on it?
*The Average!*
-Do you like to accelerate quickly? There is no turbo on this model, so it's just not going to happen. It moves at a good clip once you're up to speed though. Slow and steady wins the race, right?
-The window controls are a little sticky. This could easily be fixed by taking off the covers and cleaning the connectors, it's just something that I've never gotten around to.
*The Awww...*
-It needs paint. The clear coat is gone and some rust is starting to set in. At this point, it's not too terrible, just around the edges of the doors and still fairly superficial. Nothing that couldn't be easily fixed when the car is being repainted.
-There is a dent in the rear hatch. It came to me like that, and never particularly bothered me because I had always intended on doing the paint and body work. It in no way affects the closure of the door and the rusting on the dent hasn't changed since I purchased the car. I've done the research and you can buy that back door for a couple hundred dollars.
-The rear hatch does not stay open on its own. I will include a handy 2x2 in the sale that is the perfect length to keep it propped open.
If you have any additional questions, or would like any additional photos, just let me know.

Mercedes S-Class Magic Body Control ad is clucking awesome
Tue, 24 Sep 2013This is a new ad from Mercedes-Benz. At no point does it show an automobile. Instead, it stars animals, but not the sort you might normally see in car commercial. This ad is all about chickens. It is bizarre, to say the least, with Diana Ross and the Supremes belting it out in the background, but it all kind of comes together when you realize just what Mercedes is hawking (yeah, pun intended).
It's for the manufacturer's Magic Body Control, found on the new S-Class. The system basically analyzes the road and prepares the suspension accordingly, leading to a ride that is, in the words of our own Chris Paukert "nothing short of spooky." You can read about it in our full review of the 2014 S550. Take a look below for the 53-second spot.
VW joins Daimler's protest of new A/C refrigerant as EU deadline for compliance passes
Sun, 06 Jan 2013The case of Dupont and Honeywell's refrigerant R-1234yf is doing the exact opposite of keeping things cool. The two chemical companies have spent years and hundreds of millions of dollars developing R-1234yf to replace R-134a, the new refrigerant shown to be 99.7-percent kinder to the environment than the one it is meant to succeed. Part of that development has been years of testing by governments, outside safety agencies and automakers to approve the chemical for use in cars. It passed the protocols necessary for the European Union to declare that new and significantly revised cars from 2013 onward needed to use R-1234yf, and mandated that every car as of 2017 must use it.
Enter Daimler AG. The automaker created a head-on collision test with a B-Class at their Sindelfingen test track that would lead to the pressurized refrigerant being sprayed on the engine. The result in 20 out of 20 test was that the refrigerant burst into flames as soon as it hit the hot engine, while Daimler says that R-134a does not catch fire in the same test. Another unexpected result of the R-1234yf test was the release of hydrogen flouride, a chemical far more deadly to humans than hydrogen cyanide, emitted in such amounts that it that turned the windshield white as it began to eat into the glass.
Said a Daimler engineer in a Reuters piece, "It was scarcely believable. The most complicated lab tests conducted using the most sensitive measuring instruments around found nothing and all we do is drive a car around a couple of times, open a tiny hole in the refrigerant line and the next thing you know the car is on fire." So Daimler said it wouldn't use the refrigerant, and it recalled the cars it had already shipped with R-1234yf.
SRT Viper dukes it out with Mercedes SLS Black Series in new Head 2 Head
Fri, 05 Jul 2013In Episode 36 of Motor Trend's Head 2 Head, now that the Corvette ZR1 is no more, Jonny Lieberman has to look overseas to the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series for a challenger with similar philosophy to the SRT Viper: long hood hiding a high-horsepower engine set way back, rear-wheel drive, tiny trunks. That puts the Viper's 8.4-liter V10 with 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque against the SLS AMG's 6.2-liter V8 with 622 hp and 468 lb-ft.
However, the congruences in philosophy and magnitude of numbers doesn't translate to the driving experiences of the two, which are literally and figuratively on different continents. Lieberman gets a handle on the two of them on Northern California roads, Randy Probst then finds out how, and how quickly, they can lap Laguna Seca.
They both get kudos for being improvements on their original sources, but only one of them can take the win. You can find out by watching the video below.
