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.

The car is available for preview and inspection near Melbourne, Florida. I would encourage you to view or have someone inspect the car before the auction ends. The car was also for sale locally and I reserve the option to end the auction early. The car is sold as is. Local pickup is expected. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I have shipped cars before and will assist in any way I can, but it is the buyer’s responsibility.

2017 Frankfurt Motor Show | Observations on the Ferrari Portofino, Honda Urban EV and more
Wed, Sep 13 2017Related: We obsessively covered the Frankfurt Motor Show — here's our complete coverage The 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show kicked off the fall reveal season with an impressive array of powerful cars blended with forward-looking concepts. It's a seminal period for automakers, who find themselves at the intersection of disruption and opportunity. With that in mind, here are four takeaways from Frankfurt. The transformation of the curvy yet overbaked Ferrari California T into the Portofino is complete, and its coming-out party in Frankfurt served notice that Ferrari's entry-level sports car is much more formidable. There was nothing wrong with the California (and later the California T), but the Portofino features a cleaner look with stronger lines and an elegant resemblance to the rest of the Ferrari family. The California name is a good one. Used on a number of memorable cars in the 1950s and '60s, it's steeped in tradition, and certainly Ferrari will dust it off again. But switching to Portofino, the name of a scenic town in Italy, is a nice way to change the conversation and generate fresh interest in this part of the Ferrari portfolio. Man, people are stoked over the Honda Urban EV concept. Why? I assume it's the retro look that harks back to early Civics, and the lack of information about the concept itself. What people don't know, they're imagining. Honda hasn't even confirmed the range, the car is very small, and it likely won't be sold in the United States. With this dearth of facts, enthusiasts are filling in their own blanks. I guess that's OK. Count me among the intrigued. When I saw pictures of this thing early Tuesday morning, I was pretty excited, too. We do know Honda is expanding its electric strategy, and two-thirds of its new vehicles sold around the world will have some form of electrification by 2030. The Urban EV launches in Europe in 2019, and a hybrid CR-V rolls out in Europe next year. Unconfirmed for the U.S. market, it seems like a no-brainer to bring that version of the CR-V here. The electrification and autonomous tech parade of concepts continues. You gotta be there. It's the cost of doing business in the modern automotive landscape. This technology takes years to develop and launch, so the next best thing to remind the world you're trying to be cutting-edge is to show off lots of fancy concepts. Frankfurt had plenty. A couple standouts: The BMW I Vision Dynamics and Audi's Elaine and Aicon.
At meeting with automakers, Trump launches new attack on NAFTA
Fri, May 11 2018WASHINGTON — Ten American and foreign automakers went to the White House on Friday to push for a weakening of U.S. fuel efficiency standards through 2025, while President Donald Trump used the occasion to launch a fresh attack on the North American Free Trade Agreement that has benefited the companies. A draft proposal circulated by the U.S. Transportation Department would freeze fuel efficiency requirements at 2020 levels through 2026, rather than allowing them to increase as previously planned. Trump's administration is expected to formally unveil the proposal later this month or in June. "We're working on CAFE standards, environmental controls," Trump told reporters at the top of the meeting, referring to the Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards for cars and light trucks in the United States. Trump said he wants automakers to build more vehicles in the United States and export more vehicles. But much of the hour-long meeting focused on NAFTA. Trump blasted the pact involving the United States, Canada and Mexico as "terrible" and noted that negotiations to make changes sought by his administration were ongoing. "NAFTA has been a horrible, horrible disaster for this country and we'll see if we can make it reasonable," Trump said. Automakers have called NAFTA a success, allowing them to integrate production throughout North America and make production competitive with Asia and Europe, and have noted the increase in auto production over the past two decades with the deal in place. They have warned that changing NAFTA too much could prompt some companies to move production out of the United States. The chief executives of General Motors Co, Ford Motor Co, Fiat Chrysler, along with senior U.S. executives from Toyota Motor Corp, Volkswagen AG, Hyundai Motor Co, Nissan Motor Co, Honda Motor Co , BMW AG and Daimler AG met with Trump, as did the chief executives of two auto trade groups. Major automakers reiterated this week they do not support freezing fuel efficiency requirements but said they want new flexibility and rule changes to address lower gasoline prices and the shift in U.S. consumer preferences to bigger, less fuel-efficient vehicles.
2023 Mercedes-Maybach S 680 by Virgil Abloh is maximum fashion with a V12
Tue, Apr 5 2022If the Mercedes-Maybach S 680 wasn’t already exclusive enough for you, listen up. This is the limited-edition Maybach by Virgil Abloh version of the Mercedes-Maybach S 680, and there will only be 150 of them built for the world. The vehicle is the result of a collaboration between Virgil Abloh and Mercedes chief designer Gordon Wagener. Mercedes says the design was finalized prior to AblohÂ’s passing in November 2021. In case youÂ’re unfamiliar with Abloh, know that he was many things throughout his life. HeÂ’s known best for being a fashion designer and entrepreneur, but he was also an artist, philanthropist and architect. As for the car itself, the exterior uses a two-tone paint combo that you might recall from the Project Maybach electric off-road coupe. The bottom half is meant to make you think of sand, while the top half contrasts that in a glossy Obsidian Black finish. The window frames lose their bright look and are painted black to make it as monolithic as possible from the side. Even the forged wheels are painted in the sandy hue. The same theme continues for the interior. ItÂ’s a black and tan two-tone throughout, and MercedesÂ’ Nappa Leather is used to cover surfaces. A unique Mercedes-Maybach and Virgil Abloh logo is inscribed on the center console to denote this carÂ’s special-edition status. YouÂ’ll see the same logo on rear cushions, headrests and door sills. Mercedes even went so far as to modify the infotainment system and its controls for this special edition. The “home” button gets a sandy Abloh theme, and so do the selectable apps on screen. TheyÂ’re decorated with fashion accessories, and theyÂ’re hopefully still as easy to depict and use as MercedesÂ’ standard MBUX icons. As for extras beyond the car itself, every one of these special-edition models comes with a wooden box emblazoned with the Mercedes-Maybach and Virgil Abloh logo. Inside the box, youÂ’ll find a 1:18 replica of the car, a carabiner hook and your two keys. YouÂ’re also going to get a car cover featuring the Virgil Abloh logo with the car, but this one doesnÂ’t fit in the box. If you really want to look the part next to your car, there is a whole line of clothing designed by Virgil Abloh that is launching today, too. It comprises clothing done in shades and hues similar to the car, so you can truly look the part hopping out of your Virgil Abloh Mercedes-Maybach.
