This is a truly rare find . 1985 was the last and the best year Mercedes built the wonderful 123 series station wagons . This car was built in June of 1985 making it one of the last ones . It was purchased by the original owner in 1985 and pampered by her and her husband over the last 29 years . It was always garaged, detailed and serviced meticulously . Whenever this car needed anything , it was always attended to right away . Every oil change and service was always performed on time and all the records are present . There are about 100 service records for a total of $20000,- showing continued ownership and the complete mileage history of the car . The original owner is now 92 years old and just does not drive anymore . That is , why it is for sale here on Ebay now .  This gorgeous wagon was finished in " deep Blue" ( MB color code 900 " Surf -blau" ) with blue MB-Tex interior . The body is in amazing condition and the paint still mostly shines like new with only minor scratches from 20 years of use . All the chrome pieces still shine .This wagon draws a lot of attention and we get compliments with it wherever we go . You just do not see them often that clean anymore . The interior is in wonderful condition as well . The seats are in great shape and they are still firm . The carpets are clean from the front to the back , even the cargo area still looks great . The headliner is perfect as well .  The original dash is still gorgeous and even the wood pieces are stunning . All the gauges work the way they should . The radio works and the power antenna functions properly . All components on the car right now works the way it should . Everything was always addressed right away and i can not think of anything it needs . The air-conditioning has been gone through and it blows ice cold and from all the vents . Check out the one picture , where the AC is icing up the front windshield . The climate control works wonderful as well . The whole front suspension had been rebuilt . This car has lots of power and the transmission shifts smooth . There are no funky noises and it is a true pleasure to drive . Just recently i went on a nonstop 800 mile drive without any issues . I was cruising at 85-90 miles per hour while averaging 26 miles per gallon of diesel . This car is very original and it has never been driven on bio diesel . ( it would be a very simple conversion , if you decide to do so . )  This would be a perfect car to drive every day for many more years and several hundred thousand miles without worrying about it . It would also be a perfect car for a classic car collector . It is the last year and with a one owner perfect history it should be hard to find . We would prefer to sell this car locally to somebody who could actually come out and see it . We would also be willing to help with shipping arrangements or a airport pick up for the winning bidder . If you have any questions or would like to set up an appointment to see it , please send me a note and i will get back to you promptly .  Please do have your funding in order and do all your " due diligence " BEFORE placing a bid . This is a wonderful 29 year old classic car and it will be sold " as is " and " where is " and without a warranty . I did upload many more pictures . Please check them out thoroughly , as they can describe the car better than i can .  Thank you for looking at our auction ...

Watch this perfectly nice Mercedes get crushed by a front-end loader

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

In a world where the YouTube hoax continues to thrive, it's hard to know what to think of this little vid, but here are the facts as we know them: a coupe that looks like a first-generation Mercedes-Benz CLK gets crushed by a giant front-end loader. There you have it.
Our questions arise in the aftermath - we know industrial resource machinery is heavy, but the Benz gets squashed so flat we wonder if someone's trying to play a joke on us. We hear that the white coupe may have been the heavy-equipment operator's foreman's car, but who knows? The on-camera interview seems awfully conveniently placed, yes? See for yourself in the video below and then leave us your thoughts in Comments.

Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept crossover leaked ahead of Shanghai debut

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

With just a few days left before the start of the Shanghai Motor Show, images of the Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept compact crossover have emerged online. The little 'ute is based on the small A-Class hatchback, and though it shares an identical wheelbase, is larger in every other dimension.
Looking like a rough-and-tumble five-door hatchback on the tippy toes of its 20-inch wheels, the GLA is most certainly destined for production in a toned down form that will borrow many bits and pieces from other cars based on this platform like the aforementioned A-Class and the CLA-Class sedan. Carscoop reports that the production version of the GLA will be revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September of this year, with sales to the public starting in 2014.
Since it's based on the A-Class, we expect that the production GLA-Class will be powered by your choice of Mercedes' 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine and a diesel or two, and will offer transmissions that include the company's seven-speed DCT and perhaps a six-speed manual (at least in Europe). If the GLA follows the same path as the two cars before it, expect a GLA45 AMG producing over 300 horsepower, as well. As for what powers the GLA Concept, that just might remain a mystery until the vehicle is officially revealed in China.

Volvo S60 Polestar concept plays in the snow with Mercedes C63 AMG

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Chris Harris took to a snowy stretch of tarmac to get a fingertips-on-the-wheel feel of the Volvo S60 Polestar concept. Harris says the turbocharged sedan with 508 horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque - and a manual transmission - is "a study to see if Volvo can get back into the fast-car market." The Polestar S60 concept, one of which was already purchased for $300,000 by a private buyer, is still making the publicity rounds because even Volvo's Chinese owners realize that, as Harris says, "Volvo sold more cars because it made fast cars" like the old 850 T5 Wagon that stormed the British Touring Car Championship in the 1990s.
For reference, Harris compares the blue wonder to the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and its 487 hp and 442 lb-ft. The question is, were Volvo to get the price of a production version of the S60 Polestar to climb way down from its 200,000-pound sticker, could it be worthy competition to the established giants?
You can watch Harris divine the answer via a lot of drifting through the snow and a drag race in the video below.
