1989 Mercedes 190d Daily Driver, Very Clean And Runs Great on 2040-cars
Beverly, Massachusetts, United States
|
MB 1989 190D is an exceptionally clean daily driver. Newly rebuilt transmission. No need to plug in during a cold northeast winter! Many recent parts replaced to include tie rods & drag links, muffler, flex disks front struts, steering dampener, wheel bearings,brake pads, rotors, tires( conti's), antenna mast, windshiled, ABS module, AC compressor etc. Car gets 37mpg combined. Oil changed religiously every 3k. All work done by the best mercedes shop in the area. Sun roof lubed 3x per year and works without flaw. AC blows cold. Door locks all operate. Engine purrs. A few flaws( left rear window switch inop, defrost blows hot air) Beautifully running car that i hate to sell, but I have orders to get rid of a car. Why the asking price of $6500? The engine has at least another 250,000 miles on it, and it wasn't cheap to get the car updated. That said, diesel motors that can burn virtually "anything" are a dying breed, while all the new cars have a thin margin for diesel fuel blend with alcohol and have finicky exhaust emeissions controls. This car has no emmissions controls. It has no GPS system keeping track of you or other such invasive devices. I guess you could convert it to run on salad dressing if you desire. Perhaps I should keep this car;> I will be happy to answer any of your quesitons, and to send a few more photos along that didn't get included on ebay. (Mark Boston Area).

Mercedes S-Class Magic Body Control ad is clucking awesome
Tue, 24 Sep 2013This is a new ad from Mercedes-Benz. At no point does it show an automobile. Instead, it stars animals, but not the sort you might normally see in car commercial. This ad is all about chickens. It is bizarre, to say the least, with Diana Ross and the Supremes belting it out in the background, but it all kind of comes together when you realize just what Mercedes is hawking (yeah, pun intended).
It's for the manufacturer's Magic Body Control, found on the new S-Class. The system basically analyzes the road and prepares the suspension accordingly, leading to a ride that is, in the words of our own Chris Paukert "nothing short of spooky." You can read about it in our full review of the 2014 S550. Take a look below for the 53-second spot.
Does Alex Rodriguez' Mercedes dealership have a PR problem?
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Alex Rodriguez, in case you haven't heard, is seemingly the new Most Hated Man In Baseball, ostensibly replacing commissioner Bud Selig (for now). Rodriguez was slammed with a 211-game suspension due to his role in the MLB's latest steroid scandal in which "A-Roid," as fans have taken to calling the former superstar, was cited with steroid use and attempts to hide his involvement by "engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate" the investigation, according to the MLB's official report.
Why is this on a car site, then? Because Rodriguez' name is attached Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz in League City, TX. An Ad Age report cites Mercedes-Benz USA in saying that A-Rod owns "about half'" of the dealership. Mercedes, for what it's worth, isn't going to any to any lengths to distance itself from its dealership or its controversial namesake, saying, "We never promoted the fact that A-Rod owned a dealership, so there's really nothing to 'distance' ourselves from. And since his activity is not illegal but rather prohibited by MLB, there's nothing actionable here."
With the scandal still a fresh piece of news and A-Rod's pending appeal, it's difficult to tell what sort of effect, if any, his name will have on the dealership's sales. Ad Age contacted the GM of Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz to get the dealership's view, but no calls were returned. According to Mercedes, any name change is up to Rodriguez and his partner(s) at the dealership. Somehow, though, we think A-Rod has other things to worry about beyond his dealership's name.
Mercedes says it's tops in luxury sales for 2012, not BMW
Tue, 19 Feb 2013It turns out that Mercedes-Benz North America has legitimate claim to being the top selling luxury nameplate in the US in 2012.
While sources such as Autodata had put BMW in the top spot, registration data from R.L. Polk shows that Mercedes customers registering new vehicles topped the Bavarian automaker in the most recent calendar year. Polk says Benz posted 274,123 registrations, compared with BMW's 268,498.
In terms of sales posted, BMW had bested Benz 281,460 to 274,134. But sales are recorded somewhat inconsistently from automaker to automaker. Some book the sales as soon as they are shipped from factory to dealer. There is perennial gamesmanship between the two German rivals, and the sales numbers suggest that BMW pushed out some extra sheetmetal to dealers in the last four weeks of the year.
