This car was originally sold by RBM of Atlanta to Thomas D'Alessio. He sold it to the father of the man who I bought it from. The previous owner's father was a Mercedes mechanic and the car was passed to his son when he died. It was meticulously maintained with every service and oil change recorded through his ownership and from the first service at RBM. Every page of the service book is completed. When the son had the car he embarked on a comprehensive maintenance and restoration project starting in 2005 and mostly complete by 2009. He did this as a tribute to his father whom he knew had cherished and maintained the car. His car licence plate read: FORMYDAD

There are pages and pages of receipts for the part that he purchased for the car during his ownership. I have not gone through the entire list of receipts but the total dollars spent must be huge. Some items have been replaced several times during his ownership.

The car was stripped to bare metal, doors and fenders removed and painted in the factory cream color. The paint is of a very high quality. There are no door dings or scratches in the paint. All new cad plated hardware was used for re-fastening the body parts. New cad plated door, hood, trunk latches were installed. Every rubber part on the car was replaced. Window, door seals , trunk seals, everything is new. New anodized trim was replaced on the body. The only items not re-done are the front and rear bumpers. There are some scratches on the front bumper. All glass is very nice. Grill parts have been replaced and look like new.

He re-built the engine and transmission in August of 2005, The engine had over 210,000 miles at that time. Currently it has 226,900 miles. The exhaust system was also replaced at this time. In January of 2005 he completed a rebuild of the complete rear end. The list of items is extensive, but includes, cv axles, re-balance drive shaft, new sub frame mounts, rear shocks, torsion bar and bushings, differential mount, park brake cables, rear coil springs and mounts, and more. Tires have good tread but have not been replaced recently.

From 2005 to 2013 many more items were replaced along with meticulous maintenance for standard items. A new PAC automatic climate control system was installed. All A/C componnets have been replaced. The steering box and bushings are replaced. Brake calipers were replaced.

The list of small mechanical items is endless. The vacuum system has been completely re-done and all vacuum is very strong.

The interior has had a great amount of attention. Many switches and other parts are new, like turn signal stalk, cruise control stalk. Re-finished wood. New carpet. The dash is original and there are several cracks in the dash. The seat leather is original and there are some cracks in the driver, passenger and at the top center of the rear seat. Overall the upholstery is still very nice and would only need to be replaced if you wanted the car to be perfect. Headliner has no damage just some staining.

Everything in the car works as it should.

The trunk is spotless with new carpet and rubber mat. The jack and tool kit are with the car as is the un-used spare.

Underside of the car is very clean with no signs of ever having any rust. Many of the new drivetrain and suspension components are visible in the photos.

This is as well presented as any of these cars that I have seen. I can't imagine another 300d that could have had as many components replaced as on this car. Along with the continued high level of maintenance that this car has received, I would imagine that it will provide very many miles of good service for the next owner.

The car has it's 250,000 kilometer award from Merceds Benz Cassic .

2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC250 Quick Spin

Tue, Jul 14 2015

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC is an all-new luxury crossover that replaces Benz's compact GLK. We're driving it right now, and will have a full first drive soon. But before this, we were granted some early access on a drive from Lithuania to Latvia – just enough to form some initial impressions. As part of Mercedes' expansion with new models (and old models taking on new names) the GLC will no longer be the entry-level CUV for Mercedes Â– that title has been assumed by the GLA crossover. The GLC moves up not only in the hierarchical range, but grows 4.6 inches in the wheelbase, and is more roomy overall. Most evident, the GLC gets completely new styling, something that is immediately clear upon first glance. Mercedes says the 2016 GLC represents the future design direction for all its SUVs. Continuing the "Sensual Purity" design language of the new S-Class and C-Class, our Euro-spec GLC prototype is curvier, cleaner, and more modern than the more rugged-looking GLK. Mercedes says the US will have standard front and rear bumpers optimized for off-road use, with a 28-degree approach and departure angles for all variants. Despite boasting four doors, the GLC has a coupe-like silhouette. Our model's LED headlights, chrome-finished dual exhaust pipes, and large wheels (up to 20-inches) add to this sporty aesthetic. The real story however, is on the inside, where the GLC mimics the striking interior of the C-Class. Based on our model's open-pore wood, flowing center console, and brushed metallic and piano-black finishes the GLC boasts the nicest interior in the class. With a few short hours spent evaluating Benz's new ute Â– and evading endless Baltic speed traps Â– we were able to get some immediate impressions. There's a lot to like here. Driving Notes The 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is rated at 241 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. But what the driver actually experiences will depend on the five different driving modes. A simple toggle switch on the center console by the MMI touchpad and scrollwheel moves you through the various modes: Eco, Comfort, Sport, Sport Plus, and Individual. Each mode represents a marked difference in steering feel and throttle response. Eco and Comfort modes are fine for driving around town, but lack any semblance of sportiness. Sport and Sport Plus improve feedback, but the GLC never feels quick in any mode. It does feel nimble, and the drive is more car-like than SUV, which bodes well for the majority of US customers.

Major Alexa deal will bring Amazon services into more cars

Wed, Jan 9 2019

Amazon and its personal assistance service Alexa are partnering with HERE Technologies to create a new connected mobility service powerhouse. Alexa will integrate with HERE's navigation and location services to offer what the two companies are calling a "true voice-first-navigation experience." Alexa will come pre-integrated with HERE navigation on-demand, which the automakers can then enable, which should help cut down on development time. One of the biggest features from this partnership is how directions could be offered and delivered using HERE's Open Location Platform (OLP). Currently, the OLP uses data from several car manufacturers to provide insights into real-time location and traffic. But on Alexa, this could be used to provide directional context. For example, Alexa could say, "Turn right after [such-and-such a building]" rather than just, "Turn right." Amazon has been testing the automotive waters throughout the past decade. Its home-based Alexa-enabled devices are already offered with connections to several manufacturers. To various degrees of integration, it can already pair with Ford, Genesis, Toyota, Lexus, Hyundai and BMW vehicles. At the end of 2018, Amazon took things a step further when it introduced the Echo Auto, a Bluetooth-connected Alexa assistant device that can be physically kept in a car. Currently only available by invitation (its production and distribution have been delayed), the $25 device is essentially a voice service that works together with smartphones and connects to a car's speakers. Users can command it to do a variety of things, including playing music, setting navigation, opening the garage door, finding local stores, making calls, setting reminders, and thousands of other "skills." According to The Verge, nearly 1 million people have already ordered the device. Some (well, probably few) may know HERE Technologies from its maps on Windows Phones. We all know how that turned out, though. Today, HERE has expanded into a multi-function suite that is available in multiple mediums, including many automotive applications. HERE Automotive's connected vehicle services include real-time traffic, parking, weather, fuel prices, hazard warnings, traffic sign integration, and even EV charging stations. These all incorporate and extend the use of HERE's location and tracking programming. HERE is already partnered with BMW, Audi, Daimler, Intel, Mobileye, NVIDIA, and has investments from Bosch, Continental and Pioneer.
