Read through carefully!
More pics here http://s1060.photobucket.com/user/jemi88/library/1990%20Mercedes-Benz%20420SEL Price is FIRM. No need to make offers. Cash only. OK condition. This car runs and stops, turns left, turns right, backs up. That's pretty much it. And it's really safe. It won't stall or anything, runs strong and AC is cold. Still putting on miles! But only about 100 miles a week, short trips to the store, doctor, library and so on, it's my wife's car and she stays home with the baby. The current set of Michelins have only 15K miles on them (have invoice). Those cost $600. The tires, plus $1,900 of work I put into it right after I bought it 2.5 years ago (have invoice). I won't recover any of it that's why the price is firm. I replaced the faded purpled tinting, the new tinting is nice. Did all the regular oil change. Have most of my service records and some previous owner's. Issues (read carefully!): Front rotors need to go. I would have replaced them except I can't get one of the lug nuts off... the previous guy probably cross threaded the lug nut. If you don't know how to fix this then you shouldn't buy this car because it needs rotors, this is a serious safety issue, it's a big reason I'm getting rid of this car otherwise I'd keep it. Priced accordingly. Engine idles a little rough at times, not earthquake rough, just a little rougher than a Mercedes should idle, most of the time it purrs... I don't know, maybe distributor or wiring or gasket? Like I said it doesn't stall, no, it runs very strong and gets good mileage. Burns oil though like all old cars do. Previous owner repainted it, was it in an accident? Autocheck.com shows clean history. The title is clean and clear! Run your own Carfax and see. I had been very happy with the car... until I needed to do the rotors and couldn't unscrew the lug nut. Some dents and dings on body, a few rust spots on front window frame Peeling paint from bumpers Driver's door release latch loose (see pics in link) but works so well I never even think about it. Many miscellaneous like cracked plastic, broken leather on pillars around front seatbelt hangers, bumps, bruises... NOT A SHOWROOM CAR! Not even close. It's perfect for your wife if you like her a little but not that much. I got a newer Mercedes so I don't need this one. Good luck with it if you buy it. Car is in 92649. If local buyer we'll arrange a public meeting ground for the show and test drive, if you even want to drive it after looking at it that is. If you're really going to buy it then we'll conduct the transaction at a AAA office. If not local then buyer responsible for all transport arrangement and costs. I don't know a thing about shipping a car and am not going out of my way to do it. VIN WDBCA35E2LA552841 |

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
Mercedes-Benz introduces new heavy security M-Class Guard model
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Mercedes-Benz has unveiled a new addition to the company's line of personal security vehicles. The M-Class Guard features bullet-proof side windows made with special laminated glazing and a polycarbonate inner layer to protect occupants from shards of glass. Mercedes says the M-Class Guard meets protection level VR4 according to the Bullet Resistant Vehicles 2009 standards, based on testing from the independent Ulm-based Ballistics Bureau, which means it can withstand .357 Magnum and .44 fire from multiple angles. It can also stand up to the DM51 hand grenade when equipped with optional floor armoring. Why skimp?
Buyers looking for protection from the world's literal slings and arrows can opt for the ML350 BlueTEC with its 258 horsepower 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine. With 457 pound-feet of torque, the oil-burner should have no trouble hustling the privileged class about. Of course, the ML500 offers a bit more punch courtesy of a 4.6-liter twin-turbo V8 with 408 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. Prices start at 105,050 euros for the diesel and 118,650 euros for the V8. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
Mercedes Sprinter updated to take on Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster
Mon, 29 Apr 2013By the end of this year, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter will be the second-oldest nameplate in its segment here in the States, but with hot new competition waiting in the wings, Mercedes-Benz is giving its hauler a freshened look and more equipment to stave off rivals. The Sprinter was a pioneer in bringing Euro-style delivery vans to North America, and it's inspired others to transplant their Continental offerings, with the all-new Ford Transit and Ram Promaster models launching shortly. It will also continue to do battle with lower-cost traditional competitors like the Chevrolet Express and Ford E-Series.
The big Sprinter will thus get a new look to go with more safety features and available technology. While the information released here technically covers the Euro-spec 2013 Sprinter (which goes on sale in September), the US market is expected to get the new Sprinter for the 2014 model year with many of the same features. Some of this new technology includes a Crosswind Assist feature as standard equipment and the availability of Collision Prevention Assist and Blind Spot Assist as optional safety measures - Mercedes-Benz says that all three are firsts for any van in the world. Also added to the updated Sprinter is a new 1.8-liter supercharged gasoline (or CNG) engine producing 156 horsepower, which will complement the line of diesel engines that carry over and help make the Sprinter the first cargo van to meet the upcoming Euro VI emissions standards. Additionally, a lower ride height is said to improve fuel economy and should improve handling while aiding ingress and egress for both people and cargo.
In terms of styling, the Sprinter's new face also looks more like the current line of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars. This includes a more upright grille along with changes to the hood, headlights and bumper that lend it a closer kinship to models like the CLS-Class and the updated E-Class. The Sprinter will offer both halogen and HID headlights, while the latter will get LED running lamps and offer Highbeam Assist. The images shown here only reveal the exterior from front angles, but it looks like few, if any, changes have been made to the rear of the van. Interior upgrades include a thicker steering wheel, a new shift lever and the latest in audio, navigation and entertainment systems.
