1987 Mercedes-benz 190-series 2.3-16v Cosworth on 2040-cars
Altadena, California, United States
Rare 1987 Mercedes 190e 2.3L -16v with 88k miles. Been stored since 2003, recently registered and up to date tags, 5 speed dog leg transmission, own a very rare piece of automotive history with a racing legacy. Mercedes Benz only imported 2,200 of these between 1986-87 for US customers.
This car sat in a garage for 10 years prior to me purchasing it. Why buy an all original car when you can get a car with all new bushings, control arms etc..Needless to say, it is one of a kind, and truly fun to drive, and not many in this good of condition are still on the road.Recenty replaced engine mounts and transmission mount, new rear bushings,new rear adjustable control arms (all from HedgeHog motorsports - $1700 value). Lowered on bilstein shocks, H&R Springs, drilled rotors, new rear axles, rebuilt rear differential, 16" mercedes SL rims with brand new Toyo Proxes Tires, new kenwood USB stereo, Euro headlights.. I have put a lot of work into the car since owning it.
All the hard work has been done. I have receipts covering its 27 year history. All numbers match. Clean CA title, straight body, all gauges work with exception of lap timer which is common. Interior in good condition with Mercedes floor mats, car cover, Drives and shifts good.
Have tons of extra parts including 500e sway bars and H&R swaybars, original headlights, extra set of rims and more. Magnaflow exhaust, no cats. I have a seperate bolt on exhaust system that will let make it pass smog. Will not pass smog legally. Registration good till 2014, smog check good for 2 years.
These cars are starting to appreciate in value just as when the e30 M3's did a few years back. This will eventually be a $20-$30k car if you were to simply sit on it. Cons:
Dash cracked, Odometer stopped working at 88k miles. Paint is patina in some areas, sunroof doesnt open, lap timer doesnt work, this is a 70/100 car, The AC is non operational at this time, antenna doesnt go up and down. Put some work into the interior and new paint and you will have a 100/100 car. Shipping is buyers responsibility, I am willing to hold on to the vehicle for free at a safe place until it is picked up or arranged for shipment, if i have to store the vehicle for a while I will be more glad to do so for free but it must be paid for in full first.
I will only accept cash in hand, Money orders, Bank cashiers checks. No personal checks will be accepted I am sorry. |

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class interior caught in spy shots
Tue, 29 Jan 2013With the redesigned 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class getting closer to production, the camera-wielding crew over at Autospies somehow managed to get inside of the car to snap some detailed spy shots. As the prototypes continue to shed camouflage, it would appear that Mercedes-Benz is getting closer to unveiling the car, and with the Geneva and New York auto shows coming up, it could be sooner rather than later.
From what we can see of this car's interior, the overall look of the S-Class' cabin isn't a ground-breaking departure from the current car, but it has been completely redesigned with more advanced technology. The styling is now even more upscale with larger swaths of wood, more shapely door panels (without the built-in armrest cubbies) and the concept-like two-spoke steering wheel. The highlight of this car though is probably the two massive digital screens with one being used for driver information and the other used for navigation, audio and infotainment systems. One other detail we noticed about this car is that it was equipped with the new 360-degree camera that debuted on the new GL-Class and will also be used on the 2014 E-Class. We also know that the next-gen S-Class will be getting the new cloud-based MBrace2 infotainment system.
As for the exterior design, it looks like the next S-Class will carry a similar profile as the current car, but we can see through the camouflage that the new styling will fit in better with current Mercedes-Benz products. Up front, the grille is much larger is flanked by aggressive LED-trimmed headlights, while the rear view of the car shows us the LED brake light now at the top of the rear window, a more pointed trunk opening and a more squared-off rear fascia with exhaust outlets pushed to the corners.
2014 Mercedes SL and SLK add small expansion to Takata airbag recall
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Mercedes-Benz is the latest automaker to be affected by Takata's massive airbag recall. The company has announced a voluntary recall campaign on a small number of model-year 2014 SLK- and SL-Class roadsters.
In Mercedes' case, 300 vehicles are affected, 200 of which are in the hands of customers. According to spokesperson Donna Boland, the affected roadsters were built between March and April of this year.
The issue, which is apparently the fault of one of Takata's subcontractors, rests with some improperly installed fasteners, which could keep the airbag from performing the way it's supposed to. According to Boland, Mercedes isn't sure what, if any, injuries the recalled airbags could cause, but simply claims there's an increased risk in these particular vehicles. There's been no reported instances of the faulty airbags deploying on a customer and the original issue was found in a production test.
New details emerge on forthcoming Mercedes-Benz SLC
Sat, 02 Feb 2013Last we heard, the Mercedes-Benz SLC had been put on indefinite hold, but now Car Magazine is reporting that the Porsche 911-fighting "Baby SLS" coupe could be on sale by 2015. Riding on a modified SLS AMG chassis, the smaller and lighter SLC could be priced in the sub-$100,000 price bracket.
We'd already heard that the new car would feature conventional doors (instead of SLS-like gullwing doors), but this report focuses on some of the possible powertrains Mercedes-Benz is likely to use. At launch, the SLC could offer a pair of V8-powered models - a 485-horsepower SLC and a 585-hp SLC S - both being powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. About a year after launch, a new V6 model could emerge giving the SLC an estimated 333 horsepower and its lowest price point.
It also sounds like the car's name hasn't been completely finalized as some people within Mercedes are favoring a return of the SLR name.
