We purchased "Blondie" on EBay a few years ago when she had around 260,000 miles. We flew from NC to San Diego and drove her back across the country. Our family of 5 is outgrowing her since our daughters are getting bigger so we are going to let her go.

The pictures shown are:

Big Tire is in Boron, CA this spring at the Borax mine
Picture with the bus is in KS last November
The picture with the mountain spring is here in Oregon in July

We travel full time in our unique school bus RV conversion, and tow Blondie on a trailer behind the bus. Visit our blog and you will see videos and pictures of Blondie scattered about in the posts.

Now, she shows around 340,000 miles. The gauge cluster was replaced before we bought it with a gauge that had more mileage than the original odometer. I had intended to have the current cluster rolled back roughly 70,000 miles to match the original set, but I never got around to it. So, I am listing it with the mileage that appears on the current odometer, but it should be closer to 270,000. I am a mechanic and tinkerer so I keep her going for our family. I would send my wife and girls back to NC today driving her with no concerns about safety or reliability. I have a long record of fuel mileage, and she gets an average in the 26-28 mpg range while hauling our family of 5 and our gear. I made a wooden rack to haul bikes and coolers on the roof that can be easily removed if you don't want it on there.

Here are the things I have replaced since we have been her caretakers:

Front wheel bearings
Lower ball joints
Front brakes & Rotors
Hydraulic suspension accumulators
High pressure suspension hose
Power window switches
New JVC stereo with iPod/mp3 plugs and remote
Glow plugs
Diesel return hoses on injectors
Vacuum hoses
Rear tires were purchased this spring while in Vegas, front are okay but worn on edges (haven't met an older Benz yet that didn't wear the outer edges of tires)
Belts
Air filter
I rebuilt the suspension pump
Front washer pump
Battery (replaced 8-19-13)
AC converted to R134A Refrigerant
I modified the crankcase breather so it no longer goes into the intake. This modification is not pretty and leaks a little but it is much better for the car. It can easily be returned to the original configuration if you like, I can do that before you pick her up.
Power Antenna replaced with boosted antenna for stereo, I covered the hole with a closely matched vinyl sticker so a power antenna may be installed later.

What does she need:

Could use a rebuild of the suspension leveling valve since it lowers when you turn the car off
Alternator does not charge at idle but charges fine at highway RPM (which is why we haven't replaced it)
Manual sunroof needs repair since it had a colored pencil get jammed in it (it is propped up by a small piece of wood that can't be seen and does not leak)
Turbo works great but needs new o-rings which I have (it leaks externally but not severe)
Rear hatch seal leaks a little and rear carpet gets wet, The hatch also squeaks while driving but mostly on very bumpy roads.
Front floors get wet so we removed carpet and use rubber mats and leave floor drains open
The windshield and rear window were lightly scratched during a sandstorm in Arizona this past January, not horrible but noticeable

She comes with a new set of tire chains and a good spare. Due to the weight, she runs great in the snow. I think I have a set of rear brake shoes and a steering linkage rebuild kit that I will be letting go with her too.

I can replace the alternator for an additional $150 above final sale price if you like. Again, we didn't replace it since it charges fine at highway speeds.

I have replaced the engine oil, transmission fluid, and gear oil in differential with AmsOil Synthetic products. The engine oil will be changed with fresh AmsOil 15W-40 during this auction listing. I occasionally blend filtered WVO in the factory tank with diesel fuel, but have not made any conversion modifications. This car is a good running daily driver that we will be sad to see go. I will wash her inside and out prior to you picking her up. I will be happy to answer any questions you might have, so don't hesitate to contact me.

We will continue to drive her until the end of the auction. She has a clear NC title that I have with me here in OR.

I will be happy to deliver her to you anywhere in the country, a road trip to FL would be a walk in the park for Blondie, if you pay my return expenses and meals during travel. Contact me prior to the end of the auction to work out details, I could also meet you with her at PDX (Portland, OR airport).

Her replacement has already been purchased, "Boober" is a 1987 Toyota Van Wagon that will fit on our trailer. You can see Boober in the video of Blondie.

$500 payment due within 48 hours of auction ending, final balance due within 7 days NO EXCEPTIONS.

2015 Mercedes C-Class order guide leaked

Wed, 23 Apr 2014

We may not have an official starting price for the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but as of right now, we can tell you about all the options for the eagerly anticipated new luxury sedan.
Benz Report has the entire order guide for the C-Class, with breakdowns from package pricing to how many different colors, wheel designs and lighting configurations will be available when the new model hits dealers later this year. As we mentioned in our initial review of the C-Class, there will be a pair of engine options, with the now familiar 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder available in both rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations and a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6, which can be had in all-wheel drive, only.
From there, though, the available options are impressive. Much like it does on the current car, Mercedes is offering a pair of packages that sort of define the entire car. With the C300, buyers will have the choice of either a Sport or Luxury package in addition to the base trim, while C400 buyers are limited to the Sport model.

On Location at the Portimao circuit in Portugal with Mercedes

Tue, Apr 28 2015

Portugal is a beautiful country, full of friendly people, historic cities, stunning coastline and, of course, vineyards. What brought us to Mainland Europe's westernmost country, though, was the high-speed promise of the Algarve International Circuit in Portimao. Mercedes-AMG was kind enough to host the international press launch of its standard-setting C63 and C63 S sedans at the Portuguese racing circuit, and we came away impressed, both with the car and with the track. It's tough work, but somebody's got to do it... Join Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski in Portimao above to learn more about the race track and the country in which it resides, and if you want to see what the circuit looks like from behind the wheel, we suggest you watch the video below.
