I have recently put over $5000.00 into major repairs on my car. I have all the receipts for the work that was done. New A/C system from R12 to R134a, Complete new fuel system, New Timing Chain, Newer tranny and brakes, new AUX cooling fan 165,000 Miles, Black original paint in good condition with a few light scratches and a few pebble chips on the hood. The interior is leather and in fair condition. There are some cracks on the dash and a small tear on the arm rest where your elbow rest. The passengers seat is good but the drivers side has a few splits along the seams in the seat area. But the seat back is good. And headrest are good. All just normal wear and tear on a convertible that is 25 years old. I am the 3rd owner. I bought it from a friend who bought it from his boss who bought it new. The original sticker is in the glove box. The car was always garage kept until recently. It has a AM/FM Cassette Player with a cd changer in the trunk. It has both the hard top and the soft top. The soft top is in good condition. The rear plastic window has a little sunburn but can still see out. The 3 things that I can think of that are wrong with the car is that the previous owner removed the vanity mirrors on the visors for whatever reason I don't know. Also the drivers side handle on the exterior is slightly loose but not bad and it works fine. And the trunk latch needs to be adjusted. it works fine but sometimes if you it a bump hard enough it will pop open. Other than that the car for its age is in really good shape. I bought this car as a fun car to drive around town in with the top down. Found it needed all the repairs that I have done to it. I had the repairs down and it has just sat in my driveway since. I have a truck that I drive all the time and never drive the car. And I would like to sell the car and recoup my money. In short I need the money more than the car. It's a great car now I just don't need it. If you have any questions please ask me. Thank you and good luck bidding.

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
Daimler names Bernd Pischetsrieder to supervisory board
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Some executives in the automotive industry stay with one company for their entire careers, while others bounce from one to the other, often leaving their indelible mark on each automaker at which they serve. Bob Lutz is certainly an example of the latter. So is Lee Iacocca, having presided over Ford and later charing the Chrysler board. Carlos Tavares was chief operating officer of Renault before being nominated as chief executive at PSA Peugeot Citroën. But as far as the Germans go, nobody's jumped from the leadership of one automaker to the next quite like Bernd Pischetsrieder - especially now that he's been named to the supervisory board of Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler.
An engineer by training, Pischetsrieder started his career at BMW in 1973, eventually rising to the office of CEO after twenty years. There he remained until 1999, only to be dismissed after orchestrating BMW's takeover of the Rover Group (of which only the Mini brand remains in the company's portfolio, the other brands having been sold off after his dismissal).
The next year he was named chairman of Volkswagen's Seat brand, and rose to the chairmanship of the entire Volkswagen Group two years later. Despite a largely successful four-year tenure (that gave birth, incidentally, to the Bugatti Veyron), disagreements with supervisory board chairman Ferdinand Piëch saw him leave the helm at VW AG, focusing his attention on the Scania truck division. He's since been touted as a potential chief executive for Opel and for Continental, but neither potential was apparently realized.
Watch this perfectly nice Mercedes get crushed by a front-end loader
Mon, 25 Mar 2013In a world where the YouTube hoax continues to thrive, it's hard to know what to think of this little vid, but here are the facts as we know them: a coupe that looks like a first-generation Mercedes-Benz CLK gets crushed by a giant front-end loader. There you have it.
Our questions arise in the aftermath - we know industrial resource machinery is heavy, but the Benz gets squashed so flat we wonder if someone's trying to play a joke on us. We hear that the white coupe may have been the heavy-equipment operator's foreman's car, but who knows? The on-camera interview seems awfully conveniently placed, yes? See for yourself in the video below and then leave us your thoughts in Comments.
