Up for sale is a timeless classic diesel station wagon! My brother bought this car at the end of the summer from an estate auction in Texas via Ebay as a surprise for his wife . The vehicle was driven back here to Denver from Texas without a hitch. His wife loved the looks of the car and the idea of owning one, but going from a late-model Volvo V70R to a 30 year old diesel wagon is a drastic change to say the least. My brother had to move to Oregon for work and he left the old Mercedes behind asking me to sell it for him. I am listing this thing at NO RESERVE so the high bidder will own this bullet-proof wagon!
When the weather was warm the Mercedes would start up after a few cranks without a hitch. Now that it has sat for awhile and the weather is cold, it cranks for a longer time and needs a jump most of the time as well. It does ALWAYS start eventually. The turbo spools up well and it has good acceleration for an old turbo diesel Benz. It also just passed Colorado emissions recently as well. Like any old German car, the motor is wet with oil seepages. The transmission shifts through all gears including reverse as it seemingly should. The brakes work strongly on the first application after driving for a time, but if you brake again after that the power function seems weak. The e-brake does not hold at all. The tires are old and could use replacement/balancing. I also heard an occasional squeak from the right front while driving. It may need a strut? I am not sure.
The odometer was not rolling any miles when I drove the car today so just assume it does not work. The person in Texas who sold it claimed that the AC worked, but it has been too cold for me to verify that and my brother didn't know. The climate control with the fan etc. does work as far as I can tell. The drivers side front window goes up and down fine, but the passenger front window only goes down 1/3 of the way and stops. The two rear windows work intermittently. The faceplate for the aftermarket CD player is missing. The horn on the steering wheel does not work thus the reason for the black horn button seen on the left drivers kick panel in the photos which does work.
The exterior paint is weathered from the Texas sun. It has a couple of surface rust spots as seen in the photos as well as a dent on the right front fender. One of the rear back up lenses is broken. Please see the pictures for exterior condition. The windshield does have a small star on the far passenger side halfway up. As far as the interior, the dash has a molded cover on it so I am not sure about the condition of it. There are cracks in the drivers seat as seen in the photos. The front door panel map pockets have loose clips on the front portion. The passenger front and rear seats are in good shape as well as the carpets/floor mats. It also has two keys and owners manuals.
I have a clear title in my possession so I am not sure why it is showing salvage on autocheck? It does not show any accidents on autocheck so I am not sure how the title could be salvage. I just want to be up front that I do have a clear title in hand, but let you know that the autocheck record does say salvage.
I have described this vehicle to the best of my ability and knowledge. It is being sold as is with no warranty or guarantee of any kind expressed or implied. Feel free to contact me to see the car in person or set up an inspection from a third party. I will assist in any way possible. This vehicle is not for someone who is not OK with quirks of old German cars. You can come pick up the vehicle in person, or set up shipping. All pick up/transportation arrangements must be made by the buyer. I will get the vehicle started for the buy or transporter when it is being picked up. If you need me to pick you up from Denver International Airport, I am more than happy to do so. A non-refundable $250 deposit is due with 48 hours of the auction end. Do not bid unless you intend to buy. The full balance is due, and vehicle must be picked up within 7 days of the auction end. The high bidder will own this vehicle. I have a clear signed off title in my hand ready to go. Feel free to contact me with any questions and I will answer them to the best of my ability.Thanks for looking!

BMW reclaims US luxury sales crown from Mercedes
Tue, Jan 6 2015The numbers, they are in: BMW has reclaimed the luxury-sales crown from Mercedes by a margin of 9,347 cars. Mercedes donned the king's headgear in 2013 after a strong final quarter of 2013 when the new CLA and S-Class poured out of dealerships. This year, led by the 3 Series/4 Series and X5, BMW sold 339,738 units – a 9.8-percent increase year-on-year. Mercedes, led by the C-Class and M-Class, saw its sales go up by 5.7 percent to 330,391 units. We'll have to wait a bit to see if there's another registrations-vs-sales challenge as in 2012, when BMW was anointed US luxury ruler. Behind them, a dark horse named Lexus nudged closer to the leading Teutons, selling 311,389 cars. The Japanese luxury automaker also had the biggest gain among the top three, its sales rising by 13.7 percent compared to 2013. Audi had the biggest sales of anyone among the top five, though, with a 15.2-percent gain to 182,011, which moved it a spot ahead of Cadillac; the Wreath-and-Crest brand dropped 6.5 percent to 170,750. Acura (167,843), Infiniti (117,300), and Lincoln (94,474) took the final positions. Speaking of Lincoln, sales at the once-mighty luxury marque stand as the mightiest jump of any on this list, up 15.6 percent. That's the power of Matthew McConaughey... and better cars and a new crossover, sure. So now that we're back to Round One of 2015, in case no one else has said it yet: "Ok, fight!"
Mercedes Pullman limo, C-Class Hybrid coming to Geneva
Sun, Feb 15 2015Mercedes-Benz is preparing to show the pinnacles of its engineering and luxury prowess at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show in March. Towering in physical size among these new vehicles is the long-awaited debut of the S-Class Pullman, according to Reuters. If you think the nearly $200,000 Mercedes-Maybach S600 (pictured above) is the ultimate in opulence available on Mercedes' flagship sedan, think again. The Pullman is the true top dog at a rumored 21-feet long and at a price of around $1 million for the armored version. Earlier patent photos suggest what this behemoth might look like. The driver reportedly sits in a partitioned cabin up front, and the plutocratic passengers are nestled in two facing rows of seats in the rest of the extremely long body. It's possible that Mercedes might not even build the Pullman in-house and leave the duty up to Brabus. However, there's also a rumor that the massive model might not be offered in the US. According to Reuters, the German company is also proving that it can be green by displaying the C-Class Plug-in Hybrid in Geneva. If Mercedes' display of luxury and efficiency don't strike your fancy, then the automaker is bringing some performance with its future Mercedes-AMG GT GT3 racer to the Swiss show.
