1977 Mercedes Benz 280e on 2040-cars
Bowman, North Dakota, United States
|
This car was imported in 1985 and Federalized at that time. It has a federal sticker on the driver "B" pillar. I am the fourth owner and have had it for 7 years. The previous owner was an independent Mercedes repair shop in Albuquerque,NM, and it was his personal vehicle. He sold it when he and his wife were expecting their third child. His history is that he installed new brakes, overhauled the upper cylinder head, had a new paint job done, replaced the entire interior with a virtually new one, put in a new clutch and updated the A/C with a Nippon Denso compressor using 134A refrigerant, and replaced a non-op Becker Radio with a high line Pioneer CD player. When I got the car, there was some rust in the driver door and both rear quarters as well as the rear bumper ends. The factory cruise was non-op. It also had some transitory cold start problems, but otherwise was a clean and good running car. During my years, I have addressed the rust with new steel, replaced the cold start enrichment system, installed a new Audioviox Cruise control, replaced the instrument light reostat, as well as the left guage cluster- gas, temp and oil pressure. I have rebushed the front suspension and done some light clean up of the engine compartment. This is a nice solid driver quality car that looks good from even 5' away. The paint is glossy and there are only very minor chips due to driving. I have also replaced its windshield and rubber gasket as well as the lower and upper grillwork due to an encounter with a pheasant.There has been NO other body damage; this car is very straight. The rear bumer ends have been replaced with NOS units from MB. I also have some American Spec bumpers that are included in the BIN sale. This car is amazingly comfortable to drive and ride in and could literally be driven anywhere. I have already replaced all its fuel lines and the fuel pump due to the dreaded ethanol, so you should be good to go! This car is leaving to help finance a retirement home.

Mercedes widens luxury sales gap on strong early CLA demand
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Mercedes-Benz CLA sales have been booming, with the Stuttgart-based manufacturer moving 2,300 of the sleek four-doors in its first week on sale. That is astonishing. Mercedes moved nearly twice as many CLAs (which start at $29,900) in one week than Jaguar, a brand that is on a very solid roll, sold in all of September. Ignoring the price differences between the Jag line and the CLA, that is still wildly impressive.
Mercedes has been pushing the CLA in television ads, using a shortened version of its Super Bowl spot, which starred William Dafoe, Usher and Kate Upton. "As the bargain entrance into the Mercedes portfolio, we weren't sure how luxury buyers would react," Kelly Blue Book auto analyst Alec Gutierrez told Bloomberg.
The CLA push was just part of MB's 6.7-percent increase in September sales, which were also helped along by a 17-percent jump in E-Class sales. That surge has allowed Mercedes to widen its 2013 sales lead over its rival, BMW, to 2,491 cars, according to Bloomberg. If CLA sales continue at this rate, we can only expect that margin to grow.
Boston bombers were tracked using Mercedes mbrace [w/video]
Sun, 28 Apr 2013We now know Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the two brothers said to be behind the Boston Marathon bombings, planned to head for New York City to detonate more improvised explosive devices. As it turns out, that plan was foiled by the quick thinking of one Mercedes-Benz owner, diligent police work and the Mercedes-Benz mbrace system. When the brothers carjacked a 26-year-old Chinese entrepreneur identified only as "Danny," they didn't realize his Mercedes-Benz M-Class was equipped with the mbrace system, which can call for help in the event of an accident or track the vehicle in the event of a theft.
According to reports, the Tsarnaev brothers held Danny hostage for nearly 90 minutes while they drove around Boston forming a plan until they had to stop for fuel. When one of the brothers went inside to pay, the other put his gun down for a moment. Danny took the opportunity to unlatch his seat belt, open the door and run to another nearby gas station, where he told the owner to call the police.
When police arrived, they used the mbrace system to track the SUV after receiving Danny's permission, and it wasn't long before a shootout between police and the brothers ensued. When it was over, the eldest brother lay dead in the street. For more on the story, view the video report available below.
EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
