Overall this car is in very good condition. This vehicle sat for a year before we purchased it. We purchased this car here in Tucson Az a couple months ago and have really intended to do some more work to this vehicle, but we are not in a position to keep this car in good shape as we live in the country and have no garage for it. And really no knowledge of these diesel vehicles. So here it is up for auction. This is what we have done to this vehicle: Changed the oil filter -two gas filters- front brakes vacuum lines and haven taken this car to the Mercedes Benz dealer ship here in Tucson and had the original becker radio reset. This vehicle has a small fuel leak that the dealer quoted us 250.00 to fix and we are just not in financial shape for restoring or repairing a car that deserves more than we can offer. There is a drip on the tranny gasket that is more annoying than anything, and actually we took the underbelly off to see if there were any leaks of any-kind and that is how we found this leak, so at some point the buyer would have to replace that gasket. The car shifts strong and smooth going down the Highway. We added one can of 134 A to a proffessionally retrofitted system and the A/C blows cold and all the climate controls work. We just took it through emissions April 23rd 2013 and the emissions are good for another year, they are required yearly here in az. There is a crack in the dash from az sun as this car has been in az since 2007 and it came from california. This vehicle starts first time every time and drives nice with all electrical components working very good with an operating sunroof. This vehicle needs some things done and would not really take much for the guy or gal that has a little more time, energy, knowledge and money than we do! Seats are in excellent condition and the front seats have seat covers on them in the pictures I pulled them back so you can see. There is a little work to be done with the plastic around console but not bad at all, it is loose. The oil pressure goes right up and stays at 3 when started and goes down to 2-1/2 when at a light. The tranny shifts at the same speed every time but the fluid level should be monitored until the gasket is replaced. This car has antilock brake system and anti-theft device on passenger side under the floor board, for the Becker Radio. This vehicle has all power Door locks and the doors can be opened by using the trunk key as well. The truck need a little adjustment as the az, wind caught it and threw it out of adjustment but still operates as intended. I can hear the antenna motor working but it is not raising the antenna. If you were to puchase this car and drive it home it would need better tires and they are very easy to come by here at the local tire shops, We would love to keep this car and reality tells us we need a truck out here in the country, and classic or luxury  cars will have to wait. For right now we drive this car twice a week to go 12 miles into town and 12 miles back for shopping so the miles will reflect that. We have a clean Az, Box A title original miles 228,047 on title. We will have it notorized with you present. Well thank you and any thing else we can tell you that we  have not written here we can answer promptly by email. Thank you Al and Kathy

Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG coming to the New York Auto Show

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

Mercedes-Benz showed off the CLA45 AMG at a private event on the eve of the Geneva Motor Show, but was determined not to let it be photographed. We can talk about it, though - after all, a teaser image was released to promote the new Sony game Drive Club. The CLA45 AMG will use the same powertrain as the A45 AMG, which means a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. And that means a small four-door coupe sedan with the highest horsepower-per-liter in the segment. It will shift through the same seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, should also run out of speed at 155 miles per hour and have that three-stage stability control system.
As with its hatch sibling, the CLA is already so aggressive on the outside - and the parent company so anxious not to demolish the sedan's 0.22 coefficient of drag - that not much has been done to the cranked-up CLA. Even the rather thin tires on the standard only get a little less thin on the hotter variant. Inside will be the telltale AMG signs, with lots of red detailing and that flat-bottomed wheel among the giveaways. We'll know more later this month when the wraps come off at the New York International Auto Show.

How tariffs in China could cause a meltdown in the American South

Sun, Aug 25 2019

While BMW is clearly a German company, the crossovers that are exceedingly important to it are actually made in Spartanburg, South Carolina. And more than that, the Spartanburg plant (physically located in the town of Greer) is where the corporate know-how and capability for those vehicles is concentrated. These are the vehicles – specifically, the BMW X3, X4, X5, X6, X7 – that drove record growth for the company in 2018, according to BMW. But whatÂ’s most notable about BMW Group Plant Spartanburg, given current events, is that according to the U.S. Department of Commerce it was the largest automotive exporter by value for the fifth year running in 2018. ThatÂ’s worth emphasizing: largest automotive exporter by value. Not GM. Not Ford. BMW. And where might one assume that more than a few of those X vehicles are shipped to? China. Some 360 miles southwest of Spartanburg is Mercedes-Benz U.S. International, Inc., in in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. It started building vehicles in 1997. Since then, Daimler AG has invested in excess of $5.5 billion in the facility. It manufactures the crossover now known as the GLE, formerly the ML-Class. It also makes the GLE coupe and GLS. Daimler describes the Tuscaloosa facility as “the traditional home of SUV production” for those vehicles. When it reported its global 2018 sales, Daimler noted that on a global basis SUVs account “for more than a third of all Mercedes-Benz sales.” According to the Chinese finance ministry, on December 15th the Chinese government will impose a 25% tariff on automobiles (and a 5% tariff on auto parts) from the U.S. Certainly this is going to have a direct effect on the sales of vehicles that are manufactured in the U.S. and exported to China. BMW and Mercedes are going to take it on the chin for the vehicles that they make in plants that they invested in so heavily in the U.S. Which could potentially mean that people in places like Greer, South Carolina, and Vance, Alabama, are going to find themselves in the crosshairs of the combatants. Soo too could Lincoln, which produces vehicles in places like Louisville, Kentucky (Navigator), Chicago, Illinois (Aviator) and Flat Rock, Michigan (Continental). Although the Tesla Gigafactory 3 is rapidly nearing completion in Shanghai, it is worth noting that vehicles built in Fremont, California, are being sold in China in numbers that donÂ’t make Musk unhappy.

More German automakers may be afoul of US emission standards

Wed, Sep 23 2015

Volkswagen has plenty of smoke to share, and that may mean fire for other German automakers that make diesel vehicles, says Automotive News. Earlier this month, European Federation for Transport and Environment said that BMW, Daimler's Mercedes-Benz and General Motor's Opel division are among other automakers that may have equipped their vehicles' diesel engines with similar software as VW's. That software was found to reduce emissions while a car is being tested for emissions and shuts down emissions-control systems during normal use. The European environmental group used data from the International Council on Clean Transportation. Automotive News notes that the European environmental group put out its own report earlier this month, before the VW scandal broke loose, but the report was pretty much overlooked. Now, VW is under fire after it was discovered that 2.0-liter diesel engines in the VW Jetta and Golf, and Audi A3, may be programmed to game the emissions system. VW sold almost a half-million diesel vehicles in the US during the past six years. Both BMW and Mercedes-Benz told Automotive News that the issue that befell VW doesn't apply to their diesel vehicles. Earlier this week, Volkswagen admitted its car ran the sneaky software, while the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has started a probe on the company. VW is setting aside more than $7 billion to pay for the alleged violations. Meanwhile, US taxpayers may have spent as much as $51 million a year to pay for subsidies related to VW's diesel vehicle sales in 2009 alone, according to the Los Angeles Times.
