Powerfull 6 cyl Turbo Diesel engine backed up with automatic transmission that runs well and has lots of power and life left in. Vehicle has newer powdercoated rims with michelin tires and brakes on all 4 corners with less then 5,000 miles on them. Leather interior is in decent shape, some color loss but overall rather nice condition.  Carpets are decent, but im sure they could use a shampoo (something i do when i buy a uesd car myself).... overall what one expects when looking at a car of this vintage after having seen a few.  Windows and locks and mirrors all work.  Vehicle has Euro style Headlamps also.  Any and all repairs and maintenace done while I owned it have used genuine MB parts. A few years ago while i replaced a leaking seal on the IP I also UPGRADED the engine mount vacumme pump to the new updated style (around a $600 part if i rememeber right). Vehicle also has newer motor mounts. It runs cool @ 80C.

Included and installed on vehicle is a genuine mercedes hood ornament and wheel centers, they are not seen in all of the photos only some as i took the photos over the course of the day while washing the car to prep for sale and had not installed them until i was almost finished... that is why they can only be seen in a few photos.

This vehicle is a perfect candidate to drive on Veggy oil or WVO.  To the best of my knowledge it HAS NOT been run on Veggy oil but I'm not the original owner so I cant be certain of that.

$500 DEPOSIT IT DUE IN 48 HOURS VIA PAYPAL AND IS NON REFUNDABLE FOR ANY REASON

Balance due in 72 hours via Paypal, or cash upon pickup provided its in the same 72hr timeframe.

Mercedes-AMG GT S pit against Porsche 911 Turbo in Evo Deadly Rivals test

Fri, May 1 2015

When Mercedes-Benz announced that its all-new AMG GT would start at $129,900 deeply undercutting the $200,000-plus of its predecessor, the SLS AMG, immediate questions focused on how it'd stack up against the latest crop of high performers that occupy the mid-$100,000 range. Evo, over in the UK, didn't have to wait all that long. The latest installment in the outlet's "Deadly Rivals" series compares the AMG GT with the latest Porsche 911 Turbo. On paper, the test is sure to be interesting. The Mercedes uses a 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 with 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque, while a seven-speed AMG Speedshift dual-clutch shuffles power to the back axle. The 911 Turbo's formula is more of a known quantity – 520 hp from a twin-turbo, 3.8-liter flat six with the company's own PDK working in unison with all-wheel drive, torque vectoring and rear-axle steering. Of course, we're not going to spoil the results for you. Take a look at the video up top, and let us know what you think of Evo's latest track battle.

Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG shows up to fight the hottest hatches [w/videos]

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Fun coincidence. On the same day that Audi announces the unveiling of its new S3 Sportback at the Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz steals the spotlight by confirming that the all-new A45 AMG will also receive its official debut early next month. Starting life as the entry-level A-Class hatchback, the A45 AMG gets the full AMG treatment, which includes numerous performance, handling and styling upgrades.
Under the hood sits an AMG-tuned 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 breathing through a sport exhaust system helping the five-door produce 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired to a seven-speed AMG dual-clutch transmission and power is sent to the ground using 4Matic all-wheel drive. Mercedes-Benz says that the A45 AMG will be able to accelerate from 0-60 miles per hour in under 4.5 seconds and it will have a top speed of 155 mph; in the land of hot hatches, it doesn't get much hotter than that. For added performance and handling, AMG has retuned the A-Class' suspension and steering systems and equipped The A45 with a three-stage stability control system that is specific to this car.
Surprisingly, the exterior styling of the A-Class was already sporty enough that the new model doesn't receive too many changes to become the A45 AMG. The biggest alterations include black accents to the chin spoiler, rocker panels and mirror caps, black wheels with red-painted brake calipers and rectangular dual exhaust outlets. Inside, it doesn't take a trained eye to spot the differences. The flat-bottomed sport steering wheel and the numerous red accents throughout the cabin (including the seatbelts!) really help to make this AMG interior stand out; front passengers will also get sport bucket seats that appear to be more than supportive enough for even the most spirited driving conditions.

Smart will go electric-only in United States and Canada

Tue, Feb 14 2017

By 2018, the Smart car brand will be only known as an electric vehicle manufacturer in the US. According to Automotive News, sales of gasoline-powered Smart cars will cease later this year, and Daimler will develop the product portfolio into a solely electrified one. This coincides with the upcoming launch of the new generation Smart ForTwo electric drive models this summer. Automotive News claims to have obtained a letter from Mercedes-Benz USA CEO Dietmar Exler sent to US dealers. In it, he underlines the decision to go electric-only, saying "developments within the micro-car segment present some challenges for the current Smart product portfolio," and that the change will only affect North American sales. Production of US-destined gasoline-powered Smarts will cease in April, and sales will continue until stock runs out. The current generation has been on sale from 2015, and it hasn't reached the 2014 sales peak of 10.453 units of the previous generation; last year, there were little more than 6.200 Smarts sold in the States. The first electric drive Smarts were unveiled a decade ago, but they became available in the USA five years later, initially via various trial programs, including Car2Go fleets. Related Video:
