Rare 2 door in great condition, no dents, priced to sell, clean title with tags paid until Aug 2014, working odometer reads approx.159,575. Original Calif. blue plates.  Recent major service including valve adjustment, fuel filters, fuel lines, valve cover gasket, complete brake inspection with new brake fluid & lines cleaned.  Good tires, even wear, no alignment issues, no suspension problems. AC does not work, only heat & fresh air, starts right up and ready to go. Electric sunroof works but needs help. Two front windows work but the small rear windows do not operate properly and I leave them in place. Dash has cracks.  Instruments & all lights work except, clock is not accurate. Windshield gasket should be replaced but not leaking, just old and has silicone filler.  Upholstery re-done in the front & some in back, not leather & has some wrinkles on the back rear seat.  Two stage gold paint is less than 30 days old and was the original color.

Mechanic inspection and work completed by mechanic at my son's shop (Exotic Line Motors).

If you know the sound of a good diesel engine this will make you very happy but realize this is not the turbo model, if you know the sound & feel of a good transmission you will be very satisfied (no slips or harsh shifting). California car purchased locally & I was told I am the 3rd owner but have no records to verify.  Prior owner had no records so I had my mechanic go through the car to make sure all was in good working condition.  I believe the odometer is accurate and has not been tampered with. I purchased this car recently for the purpose to re-sell and hold the clean signed off pink slip with Calif. tag paid until May 2014.   Car is driven daily and miles will go up daily at least 15 miles.  Does have a slight oil leak, may be the oil pan gasket.  Front windshield could use a new gasket.

Please call me if any questions or concerns. I prefer communication and discussion in order to make sure you are a serious Buyer and you get all the questions answered (no surprises). 

My phone is always on:   619 920-7272 Henry 

PLEASE NOTE YOU CANNOT WIN THIS AUCTION WITHOUT THE REQUIRED DEPOSIT, NO DEPOSIT WILL NOT WIN YOU THE CAR (I HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH THIS ISSUE & A FLAKE BUYER). 
Clean signed pink slip in hand.  Please note that the car is advertised locally and is subject to prior sale.

Recharge Wrap-up: Houston's bus revival, autonomous trucks on the Autobahn

Thu, Apr 7 2016

A documentary shows how Houston, Texas significantly improved its outdated bus system. Called High Frequency: Why Houston is Back on the Bus, the short film describes how the city reimagined its bus system to become more efficient, more useful and more popular. Despite some opposition, the change has proven to be effective, with bus ridership up eight percent in three months, and light rail ridership up due to complementary bus routes. See the video above, and read more at CityLab. Automakers sent autonomous semi trucks on the German Autobahn as part of the European Truck Platooning Challenge of 2016. Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and Scania, among other groups, sent platoons of trucks between Stuttgart, Germany, and Rotterdam, Holland. In Mercedes's platoon of three trucks, the lead truck was fitted with lasers and other sensors to guide the convoy down the road. The two following trucks relied on vehicle-to-vehicle communication to trail 50 feet behind the lead, making room for cars to come between them and closing the gaps when able. The close following distance provides fuel economy gains of up to 10 percent in the rearward trucks on account of the reduction in drag. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Renault has reduced NOx emissions in its Euro 6b diesel vehicles in real world driving conditions. By improving its exhaust gas recirculation systems and NOx traps, nitrogen oxide emissions are cut in half on average, under certain driving conditions. The improvements will be included in vehicles leaving the factory beginning in July of 2016. Beginning in October, owners of Renault Euro 6b diesels can have the modifications added to their cars for free. Read more from Renault. Tata Technologies is creating an innovation lab in California to partner with EV technology companies. Having a tech center in California allows Tata to work on technologies that will largely be deployed in the company's main market of Asia. "Today, we are partnering with companies and startups who have aspirations to sell in China, but a lot of what they do is in California," says Samir Yajnik of Tata Technologies.

Mercedes-Benz SL snapped getting major facelift

Tue, Mar 17 2015

With the new Mercedes-AMG GT leading the charge, it'd be all too easy to forget about the SL. But Benz hasn't, as you can see from these latest spy shots. Spotted undergoing testing in Germany, this heavily disguised prototype foreshadows the arrival of a heavily revised two-seater convertible. It's hard to tell much from the other side of the body cladding and camouflage, but it appears to be hiding a new front end – complete with slimmer headlights, reprofiled front bumper and more upright grille – as well as a new hood, rear bumper, exhaust tips and tail lamps. Unlike the last time we saw the new SL out testing, we can now see inside as well. Although the steering wheel and center console remain hidden from view, we can anticipate a bigger touchscreen display and other updates. And apparently an onboard winter hat, as well. Now in its sixth generation, the Sport Leicht may not be as sporty or as light as the original, but while others have come and gone, the SL remains a mainstay of the Mercedes-Benz lineup. The current model was introduced in 2012, and this update should keep it fresh on the boulevards of Beverly Hills, the French Riviera and Abu Dhabi for several more years to come. Related Video:

Mercedes previews new S-Class convertible

Mon, Aug 17 2015

Mercedes keeps on expanding its flagship S-Class with more models, and will soon add one more to the roster. But before it does, it's giving us this teaser of what's to come with an advanced look at the upcoming new S-Class Cabriolet. The convertible model will be based closely on the S-Class Coupe we already know, only with a folding roof. Expect that dropping top to be constructed of several layers of fabric (as opposed to a folding metal top) with a glass rear window (instead of plastic) to keep it luxuriously isolated and insulated from the outside world when it's up, and let the wind and sunshine in when down. The Cabrio will bring the array of body-styles in the S-Class range up to six, with the convertible joining the existing coupe and four wheelbase lengths of sedan. Expect powertrain options to closely mirror those of the coupe, including S550, S63, and eventual S65 AMG models driving the rear wheels or all four. Slotting in above the E-Class Cabriolet, the new convertible S-Class will be Daimler's "first luxury four seater cabriolet since 1971." It'll compete in rather rare company against the likes of the Bentley Continental GTC, Aston Martin DB9 Volante, Maserati GranTurismo Convertible, and even the upcoming new Rolls-Royce Dawn when it arrives. And judging from the timing of this preview rendering's release, we anticipate it'll arrive soon. Related Video:
