I NOTICED THE "AUTO CHECK" INFO AFTER I POSTED THIS AD.

THE TITLE IS CLEAR! THERE ARE NO LIENS ON THIS VEHICLE. THE LOAN WAS PAID OFF IN 12/2012. "AUTO CHECK" IS NOT UP-TO-DATE.

I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE SALVAGE TITLE FROM 1995 UNTIL THIS POSTING. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN USE SINCE 1997 PER "AUTO CHECK". THE CAR HAS BEEN ALIGNED WITHIN SPECS SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR DAILY FOR THE LAST 2+ YEARS.

PLEASE NOTE I HAVE BEEN OPEN AND HONEST ABOUT ITS CONDITION. IF YOU WANT MORE PICTURES OR INFORMATION CONTACT ME! I ALSO HAVE THE PREVIOUS OWNERS MAINTENANCE LOG BOOK.

1987 300D Turbo - I would not be selling this car if I did not need to. I like it and would keep restoring it if I could.

There is a dent in the drivers rear door/quarter area. The door does not leak and the wind noise is minimal.

The glow plug light stays on but the glow plugs work fine. I cleaned the relay connector and checked the wiring, all worked fine.
The fog lamps need replacing.
The trunk lock cylinder needs replacing. It froze this winter and broke.
The vacuum line that operates the locks on the drivers side has come off and needs to be put back on. You need to remove the door panel and plug it back on. I just never got around to it.
The moon roof motor needs replacing. It goes back fine but needs assistance to close.
The antenna motor needs replacing. There is a new mast installed and reception is good.
There is rust around the jack points, passenger rear wheel arch and the lower rear passenger area below the trunk lid.
The engine idles rough until it warms up.
The transmission slips a bit until is is warmed up.

Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept gets mobbed in China

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

If the reception it received at the Shanghai Motor Show is any judge of marketplace acceptance, Mercedes-Benz has a hit on its hands in the form of the GLA Concept. And we can understand why - we're quickly becoming fans of Mercedes' recent styling language, as defined by new models like the CLA and this GLA Concept.
The big news on the exterior front are the headlamp clusters, which have frickin' laser beams attached to their foreheads embedded inside that are capable of projecting videos and images on a screen. Plus, a pair of video cameras are mounted on the roof that can be used to capture driving excitement or removed and taken with you. How cool is that? We just hope they have a substantial locking mechanism to prevent would-be thievery...
If the exterior is mostly ready for production, with a few of the more outlandish elements moved to the trash bin - like, for instance, laser-beam headlamps and removable action cams - the interior is a true custom job that screams concept loud and clear. There are all kinds of jewel-like finishes inside, along with transparent surfaces showing what looks like metal latticework underneath and some awfully thick looking leather with massive exterior stitching done by hand similar to what you'd find on a baseball glove.

LA To The Grand Canyon In The Mercedes-Benz Of RVs
Piloting an 8,500-pound motorized house down the highway is far from my idea of fun, yet inexplicably, I'm enjoying myself. My grin has nothing to do with my camper's handling, as this heavily accoutered Mercedes-Benz Sprinter drives like a 25-foot long breadbox. My smile has nothing to do with on-road stability, as the ten-foot-tall, slab-sided vehicle reacts to wind gusts like the vertical stabilizer on a Boeing jet. My delight has nothing to do with its throttle or braking response, either, as both are as numb as your forehead after the eighth beer.
This monstrosity makes me happy for one reason - my passengers are undeniably having a good time.

Mercedes Concept GLA45 AMG is ready to run

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

This is the Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA45 AMG, and what we mean by that is, "This is the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG." Mercedes has just unveiled the liveried 'concept' at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, giving potential customers a very good look at the newest lunatic in the AMG asylum - a 355-horsepower, 332-pound-foot crossover that uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in the CLA45 AMG and Europe's A45 AMG.
Joined with a seven-speed, AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission and an AMG Performance 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, Mercedes promises a sub-five-second run to 60 miles per hour. That's not just quick for a crossover, that's quick full stop.
That sleek, lifted body has also been tweaked by the minds at AMG's Affalterbach facility. A new rear spoiler, side sills and front clip are the primary aerodynamic tweaks. Aesthetically, AMG has fitted the requisite "Turbo" badges, gloss-black accents (including exhaust tips and roof rails) and a set of 21-inch, AMG-spec alloy wheels to round out the overall package. Based on the spy shots we've seen, expect slightly toned down aerodynamics when the GLA45 AMG arrives in showrooms.
