1989 Diesel Mercedes Benz 190d W201 2.5 on 2040-cars
Melbourne, Florida, United States
Offered for sale is our 1989 Mercedes 190D. These cars are known for their great fuel economy and of course the reliable 5-cylinder diesel engine. These cars are rarely seen for sale and are even harder to find in this nice condition. Condition The good- There is no rust. Everything works, including the cruise control, AC, electric sunroof and windows as well as the original Becker Radio. It starts easy and runs well. It hums perfectly at 75 mph on the interstate. It shifts smoothly and stops quickly. I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere. It is a small and economical car. The bad- It is almost 24 years old. It has minor wear and is neither new nor a perfect show car. It is a clean well-preserved German masterpiece but has a few nicks rubs and dings, both inside and out from 2 decades of use. The outside air temperature is very difficult to read in most lights. Everything is working right now, but it is not a new car. It is a small and economical car, (I am 6’3 and nobody wants to sit behind me in it) HistoryI was told that the original owners summered in Rhode Island and stored the car when they traveled to Utah for the remainder of the year. I was also told that the car was always stored in a climate-controlled garage and never saw snowy or salted roads. The rust free condition of the car would support this. Their middle age nephew inherited the vehicle and had it for a short time in upstate New York. We purchased it from him 2 years ago and drove it to Florida. This car has been an extra car for us, used mostly for occasional trips of an hour or more. Since my wife has often driven the car while I am away for work, I have been exceedingly careful about keeping it in excellent mechanical condition. It has been maintained by the local Mercedes specialist. The car had little recent use before we brought it to Florida and needed some work. We had the front end aligned, installed new ball joints, spindles and a battery. We repaired 2 of the electric window regulators, replaced the worn out speakers and rebuilt the Hirschman electric antenna. We installed new glow plugs and relay. Of course we did new fuel and oil filters and brakes. Last year we replaced the alternator and tinkered with a shifting issue. Shortly after that the transmission filled with engine coolant. A leak in the radiator had allowed coolant to enter via the transmission cooler line. A testament to the durability of these cars; the transmission did not fail, even though we drove it for months with the shifting issue. Our Mercedes specialist installed a new radiator and lines and rebuilt the transmission. The new transmission is one of the strongest features of this car; it shifts so strong and steady. This summer, in anticipation of several trips, we had new seals installed on the injector pump and the Air Conditioning system was overhauled to include a new Denzo compressor. The Air is Ice Cold! We have recently driven the car on several trips of 4-5 hours each way. The car is comfortable and reliable. The car has 4 new Pirelli all-season tires for its trip to a new home.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class spied once again
Fri, 08 Feb 2013As evidenced by how little camouflage the next-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been caught wearing lately, it can't be too much longer until the car will get its official debut. In our newest shots of the yacht-sized luxo sedan, the cladding still covers up the headlights, front fascia and most of the rear end, but we finally have an almost undisguised look at the rest of the car's lines.
Considering previous spy shots had more camo that better (or fully) concealed the S-Class' body, some of the more obvious things we see in these images include the prominent grille, the CLS-Class-inspired bodyside creases, the pointed trunk opening and, most interestingly, a lack of fancy exhaust outlets. Unlike other S-Class prototypes we've seen, this car does not have integrated outlets, but it does have two pipes on the left side of the car. All current S-Class models in the US and Europe feature a dual exhaust layout on each side of the car, so while some of our questions about the car get answered, it would appear that more are just arising.
2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4Matic [w/video]
Wed, 20 Feb 2013Maybe you saw our recent blog snippet on a bunch of US journos getting pulled over in the middle of nowhere in Catalunya, Spain for driving a bunch of new 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG models. By all accounts, they weren't speeding - which makes me softly guffaw. I was there in that group, yet I had taken the more direct route into the mountains from Barcelona so that I could... well, so that I could go faster. No one hassled me and I had the Autovia all to myself. And it was the goodniks - the team players - who got nabbed because Spain had decided to suddenly enforce the never enforced "must carry an international driver's license" clause of the highway code.
The departing E63 AMG with 518 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque from its M157 5.5-liter biturbo V8 hasn't exactly been poorly received. It isn't as crisp as, nor as pleasantly evil as its C63 AMG kid brother, but we generally accept that the heavier and larger car will always feel, well, heavier and larger.
As part of the 2014 E-Class mid-cycle redesign, Affalterbach decided to give its E63 AMG more power and torque for the occasion. The base car now gives off 550 hp and 531 lb-ft, while the hotter S version I tested (formerly the AMG Performance Pack) produces 577 hp and 590 lb-ft. The other big novelty is that E63 sedans will be available with both rear- and all-wheel drive, while all US-spec E63 wagons will be 4Matic equipped.
