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. With prior arrangement I can meet you at the Melbourne or Orlando Airports or the Sanford Amtrak station. With prior co-ordination, I MAY be able to deliver the car for expenses.

Maybach could become Mercedes-Benz sub-brand
Wed, 22 Jun 2011When you're arriving in a twin-turbocharged, twelve-cylinder Maybach limo, there's no reason you should ever have to be late. Except, maybe, to make a fashionable entrance. But up at the corporate level, the entire Maybach brand is being slowed down as critical decisions about its future are being undertaken.
Last week, we reported that a decision on what path Maybach would take going forward would be due at the start of next month, but the latest reports indicate that the timeframe has been extended as further options are being considered.
The previous options under consideration were twofold: either relaunch the brand with production outsourced to Aston Martin - which suddenly finds itself with excess production capacity - or shut it down completely. And those are still two very real options. Word has it that Aston has put together four concept cars for the Daimler brass to consider, all based on the next-generation S-Class platform (and thankfully not the old one).
Consumer Reports selling its road-tested roadsters [w/video]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Here's a chance to acquire a celebrity-owned vehicles, and this time at a discount instead of a premium. So the celebrity in this case is Consumer Reports, that magazine that could be equally adored and abhored by car enthusiasts. CR buys all of its test vehicles and usually finds willing second owners within its own ranks, but its opening its small used-car lot to the public. On the forecourt are four roadsters: an automatic 2012 Audi TT 2.0 TFSI Quattro S-Tronic with 6,600 miles for $36,500, a manual 2012 BMW Z4 sDrive28i with 8,400 miles for $45,000, a manual 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK250 for $39,500 and a manual 2013 Porsche Boxster with 7,000 miles for $48,000.
Those numbers mean a savings of $9,000 to $10,000 before haggling - each car is listed with an "Asking price" so there could be some wiggle room if you show up with pockets full of dough and eyes full of serious intent. Since the money CR earns from the sales go back into the magazine's budget to buy more test cars, however, it probably won't take any oddball trades, so you can forget about getting any purchasing help from that track-day AMC Javelin project on blocks in the back yard.
The vehicles have been taken care of and spiffed up for sale; buyers will take delivery at the CR test track in East Haddam, Connecticut and get a tour of the facilities. While you're there they'll even take you on a lap around the track so you can feel how your car handles when driven by one of its testers. They will probably not help you with advice on which toaster and dehumidifier to buy - you'll still need to get a subscription for that. Have a look at the video below to see a day in the life of a CR test car.
