I'm guessing that if you are looking at this listing, you already know how fantastic these cars are, so I won't spend a whole lot of time expounding upon the virtues of this lovely wagon. I've owned this car since 2008 and used it only as an occasional driver. The time has come to pass this car along to someone who can love it the way it truly deserves!
*The Awesome!*
-Only 65,000 miles. Really. The car was owned by an elderly woman in Arizona, who passed it on to her grandson up here in the Puget Sound area. He sold it to me after having it only for a short while, out of fear of ruining his Grandma's car.
-The interior is MB Tex in the Sienna color and in immaculate condition. The seats and carpeting look brand new, and there are no interior cracks anywhere on the dash.
-The vacuum system is still strong, though a little slow.
-We've recently replaced the climate control servo, which is a frequent source of problems with this car.
-I have all the books and most of the service records (there aren't many). I also have an extra set of hubcaps that I will include. These things may or may not seem awesome to you.
-Did I mention that it only has 65,000 miles on it?
*The Average!*
-Do you like to accelerate quickly? There is no turbo on this model, so it's just not going to happen. It moves at a good clip once you're up to speed though. Slow and steady wins the race, right?
-The window controls are a little sticky. This could easily be fixed by taking off the covers and cleaning the connectors, it's just something that I've never gotten around to.
*The Awww...*
-It needs paint. The clear coat is gone and some rust is starting to set in. At this point, it's not too terrible, just around the edges of the doors and still fairly superficial. Nothing that couldn't be easily fixed when the car is being repainted.
-There is a dent in the rear hatch. It came to me like that, and never particularly bothered me because I had always intended on doing the paint and body work. It in no way affects the closure of the door and the rusting on the dent hasn't changed since I purchased the car. I've done the research and you can buy that back door for a couple hundred dollars.
-The rear hatch does not stay open on its own. I will include a handy 2x2 in the sale that is the perfect length to keep it propped open.
If you have any additional questions, or would like any additional photos, just let me know.

Zetsche's CEO tenure extended through 2016 at Daimler
Sun, 24 Feb 2013There appear to be two takes on Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche having his contract extended for three more years, to 2016. A report in The Detroit News quotes the chairman of Daimler's supervisory board, Manfred Bischoff, talking up the stability at the top, "With today's extensions of the contracts of Dieter Zetsche and Thomas Weber, we are maintaining the important continuity at the top executive level." Bischoff also stated that that Zetsche has a plan to "further enhance Daimler's overall performance."
Over at Reuters, though, the three-year extension was seen as a lack of complete confidence in Zetsche's plans, since his contract was supposedly meant to be extended by five years. A spokesman said the board decided to extend executive contracts by only three years if the person was 60 or would turn 60 during the contract, but that was news to observers. Zetsche wants to make Mercedes-Benz the top selling luxury manufacturer globally by 2020, but has fallen to third place behind Audi and BMW. It hasn't held the top spot 2005, and investors judged it valued at half that of BMW at the end of 2012 once Daimler's truck business was subtracted.
Analysts cites the fact that Daimler stock hasn't bested its rivals but twice in twelve years, and that the company revised its profit target downward last year by nearly one billion euros, warning of stagnant earnings this year and will miss its original margin target for 2013.
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.
Europe getting special Mercedes-Benz CLA Edition 1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Last week when we saw the leaked ordering guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, one particular image caught our eye showing the interior of the new sedan with a neon yellow stripe on the seats and yellow stitching throughout the cabin. As it turns out, this will be part of a limited-edition model called the Edition 1 about which Mercedes-Benz just released some information.
Usually, automakers wait until later in a vehicle's life to introduce special models like this, but the Edition 1 will be available right out of the gate for the first 12 months the CLA-Class is on sale. The 2014 CLA-Class Edition 1 includes the more aggressive Sport package adding AMG-style fascias and wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights and a lowered suspension; it will be offered only in five colors - unfortunately, Northern Lights Purple is not one of them. In addition to the bright yellow cabin accents, the Edition 1 will get sport seats wrapped in leather and microfiber, a sporty, flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather and real aluminum trim on the instrument panel.
With no mention of the US, we're only left to imagine that this car will not be arriving on our shores, but customers in Europe will definitely be able to enjoy the mean styling and funky interior with prices ranging from 35,402 euros up to 43,940 euros.
