Riverside, California, United States
|
Since I was a child I loved Mercedes Benz vehicles and growing up in Germany I was even working for the factory in Stuttgart-Untertuerkheim during my College breaks.
Needless to say I had many MBZs over the years--some I sold, some I still have. I will spare you the whole story about the W123 cars and also the life stories of the previous owners of my car, instead I would like to give you the facts. Here we go: Milanbrown Metallic Color Code 404 Bamboo MB-Tex Code 104 Started its life in Alaska and was shipped to the first owner's winter residence in Tucson AZ after a couple of years. Second owner is an AK resident, who also kept it titled in AK but had it at his winter residence in Palm Springs, CA where it was also serviced for the last several years. 91k original miles, verified with the previous owner; working odometer and trip-odometer and marked "original" on current California title. When the vehicle was traded in to a large franchised dealership in the Inland Empire it had a big folder with service records which was unfortunately discarded. Original paint is in excellent shape, except for a small dent on the right front fender and some surface rust on the right front wheel well from the first couple of years in Alaska. Floor pan and rocker panels are completely rust free. Interior is in excellent condition without any rips, sun damage or tears. There are no cracks on the dashboard. The upper plastic inner window trim started to shrivel from the heat but has no cracks either. The wood on the dash is very shiny and undamaged. The carpet has no stains. Both front seats cannot be height-adjusted anymore, however the front and aft adjustment functions properly. It has a newer Blaupunkt single CD stereo with fully-functioning power antenna. There is a fairly new compressor for the A/C which now runs on R134a and it blows ice cold air. All functions of the "old-style" climate control work flawlessly. Power windows and cruise control work, power door locks do not work. The car has a new battery and a new starter and even after a couple of months it starts without any problems. Oil pressure at idle when the engine is warm is at a healthy 2.5 The transmission shifts amazingly smooth without slipping or hesitation. The front end is very tight. This car needs nothing and can be enjoyed the way it is right now. Since it's a 37 year old car, there are no warranties expressed or implied. I will gladly help with shipping within the USA or overseas. |

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars
Tue, 20 Nov 2012Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.
Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG
Thu, 25 Jul 2013A little over two months ago came reports that Daimler and Aston Martin were in talks, again, about "supply and technical-cooperation agreements." The next step has been taken with Aston Martin announcing that it has signed a Letter of Intent that looks "towards a technical partnership" with Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and the two companies aiming to have definitive agreements done by year's end.
While it will get to use certain electric and electronic components from AMG, the true golden egg for the maker of the Vanquish will be the ability to develop a new line of "bespoke V8 powertrains" that will be fitted to "a new generation of models." In return for opening up the larder, Daimler will get a non-voting stake of up to five percent of Aston Martin.
Nothing else is being said about the tie-up for the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more details.
