To quote Wikipedia, "The 2.5 Turbo, while sold in mainland Europe, but not the UK for many years, was available to American buyers only in 1987 and is now somewhat of a collectors item."

This auction is for that very car, a 1987 190D 2.5 turbo. I'll start by saying that this might be the best car I'll ever own; I'm going to miss it but am hopeful it will go to an appreciative buyer. I drove the car from November 2007 until January 2013, in which time I put around 120,000 miles on it. While it is far from perfect, I'd say it might be in the best shape of any MB from that era that was driven in New England for over 25 winters.

Let's start with the Pros

engine, drivetrain in perfect working order; never any issues
the interior is nearly immaculate, carpet in great shape, no tears in upholstery, comes with custom fit honeycomb rubber floor mats
factory installed Recaro seats with horsehair padding (most comfortable seats I've ever sat in); no rips or tears in any of the upholstery
Sony CD player with 1/8" stereo AUX input jack (factory Becker cassette deck included)
modifications that i made to the center console include the addition of 3 power outlets and a storage bin above the CD player; all original parts are included and can easily be re-installed; i made no permanent changes to the car
all four paper speakers replaced with Audiobahn speakers; again, original speakers included
ALL electronics and vacuum operated accessories work perfectly; except AC (we'll get to that in the Cons)
all four shocks replaced in summer 2012, less than 1,000 miles on them
ball joints replaced in fall 2011
front springs replaced in summer 2012
all four rotors replaced in 2011 along with pads
new control arm bushings in 2012
all four factory alloy wheels included, plus the full size spare on matching alloy wheel (5 matching alloy wheels in total!)
like new snow tires included as well (car drove like a tank in the snow with these tires and some weight in the trunk)
summer tires are only a couple years old; i'm pretty sure they only saw one season
hardly any rust on exterior! like any car driven around here, rust is a problem and this car was no exception. i repaired quite a bit or rot around the jack points near each fender and repainted in factory Sato grey with textured undercoating. Doors had a bit of rust too but i did the same with that and repainted with factory Astral Silver paint
all original glass with the exception of the front passenger window; car was broken into in 2008
sun roof works perfectly
has front fog lights
has an interstate battery that i bought in 2011; should have plenty of life in it

now the Cons

perhaps the biggest Con: the AC does not work. Numerous components have been replaced, including the compressor, but it still does not work consistently. Most likely it would need to be brought to a dealership. I had been bringing this car to my personal mechanic who has worked solely on MB's for the past 30 years but is not the greatest when it comes to electrical
hood, rear passenger side door, and front driver side fender were replaced. the door was replaced because the car had been in an accident before i owned it and was poorly repaired with bondo. the hood and fender were replaced from a collision with a deer in 2010. the driver's side headlight assembly was also replaced at that time. THIS WAS THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE. All replacement parts were repainted with MB Astral Silver and clear coat
since some parts were repainted, the exterior doesn't match perfectly; i'd say it's nearly a 90 - 95% match. some days it's hardly noticeable. my guess is that this is because i only painted the replacement parts and not the rest of the car and the original paint on there is much older and has seen a lot more sun. if i was still driving the car, i would've repainted the whole thing
since i had been planning to repaint the whole car, i removed the black stripe decal that runs along each side; i do have a replacement roll which was made to factory specs that i never put on since i was hoping to repaint the car
vacuum system works perfectly as i mentioned above, however it has its quirks; i'd be happy to go into detail on this if you'd like to know; just ask

that about sums it up, if you have any questions on anything don't hesitate to ask. i'll truly miss this car but my fiance refused to ride in it another summer without AC.

good luck

Mercedes previews GLC ahead of June 17 reveal

Mon, Jun 15 2015

Mercedes has confirmed that it will unveil its new GLC crossover on June 17, releasing this preview sketch and a few details to give us an idea of what to expect. Set to replace the outgoing GLK, the GLC will slot in between the GLA and GLE (nee M-Class) in the Silver Star automaker's growing sport-ute lineup. Its nameplate shifts to better align with the C-Class sedan and the SLC roadster that's set to replace the SLK. The crossover's design was previewed in slant-back form as the Concept GLC Coupe in Shanghai a couple of months ago, but as you can see from this sketch, it'll initially come with a more conventional roofline. In announcing the livestream of its reveal, Daimler revealed that the GLC will feature a multi-chamber air suspension, Dynamic Select transmission control, and 4Matic all-wheel drive. It also promises to consume 19 percent less fuel than the GLK it replaces. World Premiere Mercedes-Benz GLC With the introduction of the new GLC on June 17th, Mercedes-Benz presents the second generation of its mid-range SUV. The GLC retains its predecessor's outstanding off-road characteristics and combines them with an all-new design. What is more, the GLC takes comfort and agility to a whole new level: With the innovative multi-chamber air suspension AIR BODY CONTROL, unique to the segment, DYNAMIC SELECT and the 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive, the new GLC is tailor-made for all driving situations on and off the road. State-of-the-art assistance systems and improved energy efficiency further support the new GLC's claim of setting a new benchmark in this segment. Compared to its predecessor, fuel consumption was lowered by up to 19%.

Eight Mercedes Fuso Canter E-Cell trucks now in service

Thu, Jul 17 2014

Portugal is far better known for its scenery and seascapes (not to mention some of its alcoholic beverages) than its place as a vehicle-testing center. But the European country is serving just that purpose for Daimler's Mercedes-Benz division and a new line of trucks. And they are of the battery-electric variety. Daimler has sent eight of its Mercedes-Benz Fuso Canter E-Cell battery-electric trucks for customer-trial purposes to various parts of the Western European country. And these customers include the Portuguese cities of Lisbon, Porto and Abrantes as well as delivery company Transporta. These entities will be testing trucks that have about a 60-mile single-charge range and deliver 150 horsepower. The trials for the trucks, which have 14-foot beds, will last one year. Daimler hasn't released a whole lot of details on further development or sales possibilities of the model. The hybrid version of the Fuso Canter debuted in the fall of 2009 and was under the Mitsubishi badge at the time, even though it was 85-percent owned by Daimler. That model is said to boost fuel economy relative to conventionally-powered trucks by as much as 23 percent. Take a look at Daimler's press release on the Fuso Canter E-Cell and its Portugal testing below. Zero emission and quiet as a whisper: eight new Fuso Canter E-Cell in customer trials Eight Fuso Canter E-Cell in real-life testing with customers for a year Locally emission-free and virtually noiseless Powerful, high-torque electric motor Battery capacity ensures range of more than 100 km Highlight of anniversary year for the Canter assembly plant in Tramagal, Portugal The drive system to suit: Canter Euro VI, Canter Eco Hybrid and Canter E-Cell The cleanest technology, whatever the application: Fuso is a pioneer of "green" drive systems in the commercial vehicle sector. The Daimler subsidiary in Japan is the home of Daimler Trucks' centre of competence for hybrid technology, and with this experience behind it, Fuso has also been responsible for developing the new battery-electric-powered "Zero Emission" Canter E-Cell. The first all-electric light-duty truck, produced in a small series, runs emission-free and almost silently. The Canter E-Cell for Europe is manufactured at the Tramagal plant in Portugal. Eight vehicles have now been released for customer trials.
