Arizona rust free car!

We bought this car to be a daily driver. Figured it would save us a lot of fuel costs. The fuel economy is great but the car just isn't the right one for our family so now it's listed here. The car runs and drives great overall! These cars were never muscle cars but once it does get up to speed it cruises great and smooth. The cruise control and all the windows and door locks work great. All the doors open and close very solidly. All of the gauges work as they should. The axles and boots are in good condition. No accidents that I am aware of however I have never looked up the carfax on it. The air conditioning has been converted to R134a and recently serviced. It blows plenty cold but the volume of air that it puts out is not really enough to keep it cool in the Arizona summer. There is NO RUST on this AZ car! I would be very comfortable jumping in this and taking it on a road trip!

Recent work done.....
New metal top tank custom fabricated for the radiator. The rest of it was in excellent condition and was serviced and pressure tested by a professional radiator shop. Brand new Duralast Gold battery install 2 weeks ago. Oil and filter changed 4 weeks ago. New fuel filter and thermostat and of course coolant at the same time as well as a few general adjustments just to fine tune everything. The previous owner stated that the starter was new about a year ago.

Problems that I am aware of.....
It has an older Clarion tape deck that doesn't seem to work. The power antenna does not work but it stays up all the time. There is a small leak from the valve cover gasket. It takes a little while to start when it's cold out. The map pocket on the passengers front door is broken and removed. There is a small dent in the right rear quarter panel right above the wheel as seen in the picture. Very minor though. The light on the dash is indicating that the brake pads are low now as well.

I'll be glad to show it to you before the auction ends or answer any questions you may have so please let me know. I have nothing to hide and I prefer to deal open and honestly. If you need pictures of anything in specific just ask. This is being sold AS IS and WHERE IS with NO RESERVE! Meaning that it will sell to the highest bidder that actually completes the deal. It is your responsibility to arrange shipping or to drive it where you need to go. There is a slight possibility that I could drive it nearby to meet you for a small fee. Just depends what your needs are and my availability. $500 PayPal deposit required within 48 hours of auction end. If you are planning on picking it up and paying the full amount in person within 48 hours then the PayPal deposit is not required. Please let me know if that is the case. If the deposit is not made and I haven't heard from you then I will assume that you are a flake and do not wish to man up and finish the deal. At that point it may be relisted or sold to the second highest bidder. Full payment is due within 7 days and pick up is within 14 days. I can possibly work with you on some things if you communicate those needs as soon as possible to me. Thanks and good luck!

Aston Martin and Daimler continue talks on SUV project, CEO required

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

The Aston Martin Lagonda SUV concept revealed at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show didn't earn the plaudits the company is used to when it reveals new models, and it has lived an uncertain life ever since. Thought to have been scrapped along with the entire revival of the Lagonda brand, then thought to have been resurrected due to Chinese, Middle Eastern and Russian demand, another year passed before we heard more definitive talk about an Aston Martin expansion when AutoCar reported that the Lagonda could be built on one of Mercedes-Benz's AMG SUV platforms.
A report in Automotive News Europe indicates plans have gotten serious, its unnamed sources saying that the English carmaker is talking to Daimler "to extend their cooperation to building an SUV." Neither Daimler, Aston Martin nor Investindustrial, the managing partner among Aston Martin's ownership consortium, would comment. But with Investindustrial having pledged to expand the range, competitors like Bentley, Maserati and Lamborghini getting into the SUV racket and clear demand from current and future customers, it's easy to believe Aston Martin is working hard to put the pieces together.
One further potential bump on the road to an Aston SUV is the company's search for a new CEO. Ulrich Bez relinquished to top spot at the company at the end of 2013, and Aston reportedly will not finalize its model strategy without a new CEO in place.

Mercedes-Benz GLK coupe to get 2016 intro

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Radio chatter around the emerging small, premium crossover coupe genre has thus far been dominated by the Land Rover Evoque and the Mini Paceman. According to a report in Car, the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class (shown above) has received its invitation to the party and will spend the next three years getting ready: it's said that two-door variant of the crisply-angled CUV is coming in 2016, along with a redesign befitting its sleeker intentions.
To be based on the MRA platform - the rear-drive version of the company's three new modular platforms, it will also support the coming 2013 S-Class and could eventually get an AMG version to help it compete with segment offerings like the forthcoming Porsche Macan. Not much else is known about it beyond its name: Car says it will be called the GLC, a friendly nomenclature we remember best as a Mazda hatchback (allegedly for "Good Little Car"). Internet oldtimers may remember the Mazda GLC as the predecessor to the 323 (which in turn came before today's Mazda3). Either way, the GLC is not to be confused with the larger upcoming BMW X6 rival based on the ML-Class (reportedly called GLS) which is also said to still be in the works, or the front-drive based GLA, a model also edging toward production.

Mercedes working on new inline-six engines

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

Mercedes-Benz will make a return to the inline-six-cylinder engine game, according to a report from the UK's AutoCar. It's not clear what's prompting the phasing out of the current array of V6s.
We'll see the first inline-six from Mercedes in next-generation E-Class, set to debut in 2016. Following that, it'll arrive as part of a mid-cycle refresh for the C-Class in 2017. What's particularly special about the new inline-six is its modular nature, which will allow Mercedes to eventually spinoff three- and four-cylinder options, with the three-pot arriving alongside the new inline-six.
In other news, AutoCar uncovered some details on the next C-Class AMG, which will ditch its excellent 6.2-liter, AMG V8 in favor of a 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8, although we've already told you about that. What we didn't know at the time, though, was that the 4.0-liter would be paired first with a new, seven-speed AMG Speedshift transmission and offer all-wheel drive. AC also reports that a nine-speed Speedshift is in the works.
