1991 Mercedes 300sel Black Pearl/grey Leather. Very Solid Vehicle! on 2040-cars
Hollis, New York, United States
|
This is a 1991 300SEL of which you don't come across this model too often. All I see
around are the V8 variants of this strong, reliable chassis. Car has
213k miles & still going strong. Clean title on hand. No accident
history. Having owned several W126 cars, the 6 cylinder is much more economical then the V8 variants
Color is Black Pearl with Grey leather which is in good condition sans a few worn spots seen in pics. Overall she has worn well and has a lot of life left in her! Just drove the car over 150 miles with no issues. The engine is super smooth and cruises at 85mph effortlessly. The engine does NOT smoke and does NOT burn any excessive amounts oil which is a common issue with this car that has the inline 6 cylinder engine. Transmission is also in good condition including reverse gear! Exhaust system is good with no leaks either. The front end is tight with no clunks. The sunroof is operational but needs a very good cleaning and lubrication. The Instrument panel is free of any cracks. All windows work, power seats work, power head restraints work. I have the original owners manual, first aid kit & even the original window sticker from 1991! There is an aftermarket radio installed but I have the original Becker radio with 2 code cards. Very recent tune up (plugs, wires, cap, coil) New Battery earlier this year Oil change just done Within the past 2-3 years: radiator, thermostat, windshield. Has had top end engine work done within the past few years. Front & rear brakes are Good 2 front tires are new, needs 2 rear tires but will have them replaced before the auction. Valve cover needs to be resealed as oil is seeping.The common leak area (front cover area) has no leaks. ABS light is on- Needs OVP Relay to fix the error Brake warning light comes on sometimes due to the parking brake having a little slack which actuates the light Corrosion on Left front (Driver side) fender but that is all! No other corrosion on the body. (Common corrosion spot on these W126 cars) Needs new Hood pad Hood & Roof have imperfections in the paint, not sure if you can tell in the pictures. One instrument cluster bulb is out (The far right side where the Tachometer is) Heater blower does not work. Overall she is a great car & a solid runner. Although she is not perfect, do not let the mileage detract you from this car. I suggest anyone interested in the car to come see it in person. The car is not registered or insured so test drives will be limited unless you agree to: sign a waiver, provide a copy of your license & insurance policy in case of a mishap. Message me with any questions. Shipping of this item is the responsibility of the buyer. The car has NO warranty & sold "as-is" I will only accept $100 Deposit thru PAYPAL. Remaining balance will be due as CASH in person or BANK WIRE TRANSFER only! |

Consumer Reports selling its road-tested roadsters [w/video]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Here's a chance to acquire a celebrity-owned vehicles, and this time at a discount instead of a premium. So the celebrity in this case is Consumer Reports, that magazine that could be equally adored and abhored by car enthusiasts. CR buys all of its test vehicles and usually finds willing second owners within its own ranks, but its opening its small used-car lot to the public. On the forecourt are four roadsters: an automatic 2012 Audi TT 2.0 TFSI Quattro S-Tronic with 6,600 miles for $36,500, a manual 2012 BMW Z4 sDrive28i with 8,400 miles for $45,000, a manual 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK250 for $39,500 and a manual 2013 Porsche Boxster with 7,000 miles for $48,000.
Those numbers mean a savings of $9,000 to $10,000 before haggling - each car is listed with an "Asking price" so there could be some wiggle room if you show up with pockets full of dough and eyes full of serious intent. Since the money CR earns from the sales go back into the magazine's budget to buy more test cars, however, it probably won't take any oddball trades, so you can forget about getting any purchasing help from that track-day AMC Javelin project on blocks in the back yard.
The vehicles have been taken care of and spiffed up for sale; buyers will take delivery at the CR test track in East Haddam, Connecticut and get a tour of the facilities. While you're there they'll even take you on a lap around the track so you can feel how your car handles when driven by one of its testers. They will probably not help you with advice on which toaster and dehumidifier to buy - you'll still need to get a subscription for that. Have a look at the video below to see a day in the life of a CR test car.
Does Alex Rodriguez' Mercedes dealership have a PR problem?
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Alex Rodriguez, in case you haven't heard, is seemingly the new Most Hated Man In Baseball, ostensibly replacing commissioner Bud Selig (for now). Rodriguez was slammed with a 211-game suspension due to his role in the MLB's latest steroid scandal in which "A-Roid," as fans have taken to calling the former superstar, was cited with steroid use and attempts to hide his involvement by "engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate" the investigation, according to the MLB's official report.
Why is this on a car site, then? Because Rodriguez' name is attached Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz in League City, TX. An Ad Age report cites Mercedes-Benz USA in saying that A-Rod owns "about half'" of the dealership. Mercedes, for what it's worth, isn't going to any to any lengths to distance itself from its dealership or its controversial namesake, saying, "We never promoted the fact that A-Rod owned a dealership, so there's really nothing to 'distance' ourselves from. And since his activity is not illegal but rather prohibited by MLB, there's nothing actionable here."
With the scandal still a fresh piece of news and A-Rod's pending appeal, it's difficult to tell what sort of effect, if any, his name will have on the dealership's sales. Ad Age contacted the GM of Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz to get the dealership's view, but no calls were returned. According to Mercedes, any name change is up to Rodriguez and his partner(s) at the dealership. Somehow, though, we think A-Rod has other things to worry about beyond his dealership's name.
Mercedes to market Tesla-powered 2014 B-Class EV in U.S.
Thu, 05 Jul 2012Looks like another Tesla Motors investor will be looking to cash in on their connection. Autoweek reports Mercedes-Benz will offer their B-Class in the U.S. with Tesla propulsion.
The magazine says their source at the German automaker confirms plans for a B-Class electric-only vehicle. While Tesla already provides battery packs for the battery-powered Smart ForTwo, the B-Class EV will reportedly have Tesla batteries, motor and other components. U.S. residents should be able to procure one sometime in 2014.
The same Mercedes source says plans for a hybrid B-Class have been postponed for now. Adding a range-extending, gasoline-powered engine to an electric vehicle would put the car into a different class for which rebates and incentives aren't as favorable in the States.
