Mercedes only built 8007 of the gorgeous 123 series coupes with the diesel engine and a lot less with the turbo version . This wonderful car was finished in Champagne ( MB color code 473 ) with palomino color MB-tex interior . It is a very elegant color combination and i do get compliments on it every time i drive it . The body and the paint are in wonderful condition . There are no dings , dents or scratches and the paint still shines . The interior is also still very well preserved , as the many pictures will show . The seats are in good condition , the carpets are like new and the headliner and door panels are clean . The wood is also in great shape . This car really looks great and many people can not believe , that it is almost 30 years old . But the best thing about it is the way it drives . It has always been maintained well and it shows . Besides regular maintenance it also received a air-filter upgrade and is much quicker as a result of it . You can drive it at 85-90 miles per hour all day long and still get 27 miles per gallon of diesel . This coupe has the lines and the sturdy build of a classic Mercedes while featuring all the amenities of a much more modern car . It comes with power windows, power sunroof, power door locks, power mirror , cruise control and AC . The original radio has been upgraded to a newer model featuring a CD player . I still have the original radio as well . This is one of the few classic cars you can drive every day and not think twice about it . These cars are known to go for over 500k miles with the right maintenance . There are several Mercedes diesel of this era on Ebay right now with over 400k miles and still driving well . So with only 140k miles , this car is barely broken in . This engine is also the perfect candidate for Bio diesel conversion , where you can drive on vegetable oil or free waste oil from restaurants . This 300CD always only drove on regular diesel , but i was told , it would be a easy conversion . With prices on clean 123 series Mercedes rising over the last few years and the low miles , this could also be a very good and practical long term investment . If you have any questions or would like to see this 300CD , please send me an email and i will get back to you quickly . I would prefer to sell this car to somebody locally , who could actually come out and see it / test drive it . But i would also be willing to help with shipping arrangements or an airport pick up for the winning bidder . Please have your funding in order , ask all questions and do all your " due diligence " BEFORE placing a bid . This is a wonderful , great running 30 year old automobile and it will be sold "as is " , " where is " and without a warranty . The winning bidder should not be disappointed . I did upload many more pictures and they can describe this car much better than i can . Thank you for looking at my auction and good luck !!

Mercedes says it's tops in luxury sales for 2012, not BMW

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

It turns out that Mercedes-Benz North America has legitimate claim to being the top selling luxury nameplate in the US in 2012.
While sources such as Autodata had put BMW in the top spot, registration data from R.L. Polk shows that Mercedes customers registering new vehicles topped the Bavarian automaker in the most recent calendar year. Polk says Benz posted 274,123 registrations, compared with BMW's 268,498.
In terms of sales posted, BMW had bested Benz 281,460 to 274,134. But sales are recorded somewhat inconsistently from automaker to automaker. Some book the sales as soon as they are shipped from factory to dealer. There is perennial gamesmanship between the two German rivals, and the sales numbers suggest that BMW pushed out some extra sheetmetal to dealers in the last four weeks of the year.

Erebus Motorsport Mercedes E-Class V8 Supercar completes the field [w/videos]

Sat, 23 Feb 2013

Ford, Holden and Nissan introduced their V8 Supercar challengers a while back. Erebus Motorport, whose racing program got the green light not even 120 days ago, has finally shown off the Mercedes-Benz E-Class racer that will complete this year's field of entries. The first AMG race car ever to be built outside of Germany, it's an Australian-built tube-frame chassis specced to the series' Car of Tomorrow rules, fitted with body panels that channel the E63 AMG.
Supported by AMG Customer Motorsport, the 5.0-liter engine is provided by HWA in Germany, the racing arm of AMG. Regulations dictate that it have roughly 650 horsepower, a redline between 7,000 and 7,500 rpm and a torque curve that matches the parity baseline set for all cars.
Lee Holdsworth, Tim Slade and Maro Engel will drive the three team cars, each with different sponsors. Their first showing will be at the Clipsal 500 on March 3 in Adelaide, here in the US we'll get to see them in May at the Circuit of the Americas. Check out the videos below of the Erebus car starting up at its launch, and footage of all of this year's cars doing pre-season testing on track together.

Why all of this year's F1 noses are so ugly [w/video]

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

If you're a serious fan of Formula One, you already know all about The Great Nosecone Conundrum of 2014. Those given to parsing each year's F1 regulations predicted the strong possibility of the so-called "anteater" noses as far back as early December 2013. Highly suggestive visual evidence first came after Caterham's crash test in early January, with further proof coming as soon as Williams showed a rendering of the FW36 challenger for this year's championship. That car earned a name that wasn't nearly so kind as "anteater."
Casual followers of the sport - or anyone who gets the feed from this site - probably don't know what's happening, except to wonder why the current year's F1 cars are led by appendages that would make Cyrano de Bergerac feel a whole lot better about himself.
The short answer to the question of ugsome F1 noses is "FIA regulations and safety." The reason there are various kinds of ugsome noses is simpler: engineers. The same boffins who have given us advances including carbon fiber monocoques, six-wheeled cars, double diffusers and Drag Reduction Systems are bred to do everything in their power to exploit every possible freedom in the regulations to make the cars they're building go faster - the caveat being that those advances have to work within the overall philosophy of the whole car.
