This super clean 25,000 mile 240D looks close to time capsule condition, minus a few changes by the previous owner to set it apart from factory original. This car has had the 18,000 mile 240D taken out and a 3.0 turbo diesel put in its place. These 5 cylinder diesels will provide steady, reliable, power for years. It is amazing that a car like this has survived for so long with such few miles as they aren't exotic and were meant to be used hard. The new engine doubles the horse power over the old and puts it somewhere in the 125 range.
This particular car has tons of upgrades, including that engine transplant. Also installed are a 5 speed manual and a new rear differential to accommodate the new gearing. Some upgraded interior wood components and some AMG rims also add to the look. The original seller painted the car, even though the original probably didn't need it, but used the opportunity to tidy up a few things. The original wheels also come with the car if you want a truly original look. On Sep-18-14 at 05:36:18 PDT, seller added the following information: I also have tons of receipts and paper work that total over 30k to make this car top notch! On Sep-19-14 at 07:53:36 PDT, seller added the following information: I've had alot of questions on the car. The engine was replaced at 18,000 miles with a rebuilt out of an 85' 300d turbo. The pictures i have when the engine out of the car are incredible, it looks brand new. The transmission is a 5 speed manual with reverse. When the engine was replaced, the previous owner spared no expense. You name it, it was replaced. The 14,000 dollar service bill explains it all. No expense was spared on this car. The car itself has around a 6,000 dollar paint job on it. When the engine was out the car was repainted, even the engine bay! I've been a Mercedes enthusiast for over 25 years and this is the nicest one I have ever seen or come across. The next owner of this car will be very pleased in every respect. Thanks for all the interest. |

Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show
Mon, 05 Mar 2012The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
Volkswagen Group, BMW Z4 top Total Value Awards by Strategic Vision
Tue, 11 Dec 2012It was just nine months ago that Strategic Vision announced its 2011 Total Value Awards, but you don't have to wait until next year for the 2012 awards. The Volkswagen Group keeps its lead as the number one brand, with seven products taking top category spots: Golf, Jetta Wagon, CC, Eos and Audi A3 Wagon, Q5 and Q7. Strategic Vision says "true innovation" - "rich and impactful, intuitive, motivational, in-depth and is able to trigger description by the user in great specificity" - is the open secret of the brands with the strongest showings. Results are culled from 77,153 owners covering more than 350 new cars bought between September of 2011 and 2012 ranked in the Total Value Index (TVI).
Other notable winners are Hyundai-Kia following VW in the brand category and having the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sorento among category winners, the BMW Z4 taking the premium roadster category and the highest overall score of any vehicle, the Chevrolet Volt continuing to gather silverware in the Special Category, nabbing the second-highest score of all and representative of "nearly perfect innovation," and Chrysler and Dodge being most improved.
Check out the press release below for your day's dose of jargon and all the winners.
