Hello, this is a very nice Mercedes Benz S430. It has an AMG engine, and I do not know the specs on this type of engine, but the regular S430 is a 4.3L V-8, naturally asperated DOHC engine. I bought this car last November, and finally took delivery in January. I must sell this car because the apartment complex that I live in won't allow me to own two cars, and since I did not register the car, I have to store it in my mother's garage since I don't have tags. I have only driven the Mercedes around town for a few miles, then to my mother's home which is 20-25 miles away, and it drove very well, very smooth, and the acceleration was phoenomenal. The Airmatic message comes on, and I asked my mechanic about it, and he specializes in German cars, and he said that since the car rises and comes back down, it is likely just a calibration issue. He said that this usually has some issues at this car's age. Everything that I used in the car and tested in the car all work to my knowlegde. The color is absolutely beautiful, a dark eggplant/black metallic color with the tan leather, I seriously couldn't even find an obvious dent or any damage to the car, it is truly gorgeos. The previous owner said that it had a minor oil leak, but I never had that checked out. I had the oil changed the day it arrived, and they said that the oil was dirty, but they didn't see any signs of an oil leak, so I don't know what is the story with that. The front marker light bulb is out, but that tis an easy fix, I just can't take it to my mechanic without tags, plus it's such an easy fix, you, the new owner, can easily get this done.
Bottom line, this is a beautiful car, but I need to sell it now, It is a good car with wear and tear according to its age. I do not know much about the car since I have only driven the car for 25-35 miles.
If you purchase the car, I expect a $500.00 deposit within 24 hours, and a cashier's check in 7 days after purchase. Then you may pick up the car locally or arrange for shipment, but the car must be picked up by April 1st.

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.

Mercedes takes VW Westfalia Camper idea upscale with new Marco Polo
Wed, 09 Jul 2014Earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz revealed the new V-Class. Slotting in below the popular Sprinter, the new V-Class replaced both the Viano and Vito upon its debut at the Geneva Motor Show. But Mercedes isn't quite done with it just yet. At the upcoming Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, Germany, Mercedes will reveal the Marco Polo - a versatile, stylish and decidedly contemporary take on the classic camper van.
Named after the famous Italian explorer, the Marco Polo was converted by Westfalia, an outfit which you might more closely associate with classic VW camper vans but which Daimler absorbed over a decade ago. Offering, according to the press release below, "a maximum of opportunities to be independent, free and spontaneous," the Marco Polo sleeps four thanks to the rear bench that electrically folds flat into a bed and the second berth under the pop-top. The flexible interior is decked out like you'd expect a modern Mercedes to be, with ambient LED lighting as well as wood, metal and piano black trim.
It's got an onboard kitchenette with two gas burners, a sink and fridge with a 10 gallons of fresh water and an even bigger waste tank. All that gear is shlepped around by a choice of four-cylinder turbodiesel engines ranging in output from 136 to 190 horsepower. The relatively compact form boasts a turning circle similar to a full-size sedan and a height designed to fit into most garages and car washes. All of which just might make us reconsider the appeal of traveling by camper van.
