2007 MERCEDES BENZ C280 4MATIC!

Water/Flood damaged.
No insurance claim since I only had liability so title is still clear. 

Here's what happened:

The road was slightly flooded and I didn't realize how deep it was. I attempted to cross over it got halfway through it and the car stalled out. I crawled out and the water was about shin deep. With the help of a couple of truckers that were behind me we were able to push the car back to dry land. The car got approximately 2-3" of water in the cabin. There was oil coming out as we were pushing it back and we're not sure if it flooded the engine or cracked the engine block and that is what caused it.  After sitting for approximately 45 mins the car fired up for approximately 30 seconds then died.  We had it towed. Oil was still leaking out of it. The car was stuck in park but we were able to get it back into neutral. Then put it back into park. 

This is what I know:
  • There was approximately 2-3 inches of water in the cabin. 
  • It was leaking oil when I got it back to my house.
  • The Transmission fluid was clean.
  • The Air Filter was dry (somebody asked me this, not sure of the relevance but thought I would include)
  • The radio is working, however the seat, sunroof, window controls are not working.
  • When I put the key in the ignition it says : SRS Restraint System Malfunction Visit Workshop
  • It will shift into the gears when I put the key into the second position but sometimes I have to try it a couple of times. 
  • The body of the car is in excellent condition except for a small ding on the front drivers side quarter panel. 
  • The interior of the car is in very good condition, no tears or holes in the leather.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will answer.

This car MUST be picked up. I will not deliver.

Mercedes mulling Renault-based entry-level X-Class?

Sun, 17 Mar 2013

Somewhere in between the Smart brand and the all-new A-Class (pictured above), Daimler is said to be readying a smaller entry-level product for the Mercedes-Benz brand to compete with models like the Audi A1. According to AutoBild, Mercedes-Benz will get a new hatchback based on a platform from its recent partnership with Renault-Nissan, and it could be called the X-Class.
Expected to debut by 2018, the Mercedes-Benz X-Class could be offered in sedan, hatchback and crossover variants, and it would likely have a starting price below the $20,000-euro mark. Power would come from either a 1.0-liter inline three-cylinder engine or a 1.5-liter inline-four, and the car would likely be built in a low-cost nation in order to make the financials work. Wearing the Mercedes-Benz name, the X-Class would have to exhibit more distinguishable luxury and styling to set itself apart from the models that helped provide its underpinnings.

Mercedes A45 AMG in downhill battle with slipstream skateboarder

Mon, 30 Sep 2013

We're told it takes "performance, control and expression" to pilot a longboard skateboard down a mountain road, and that those happen to be the same values embodied in the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG. That's how the two came to be combined in a black-and-white short film called Silver Slipstream.
There's no talking, no engine note and no color, just some music, a 'boarder and a car on a long cruise down the Franschhoek Pass in the Western Cape of South Africa." Despite that, it's actually a pretty entertaining video of the latest Mercedes-Benz hot hatch married with extreme sports. You can watch how it all goes down in the video below.

Man makes record-setting drive across the US in 28 hours, 50 minutes

Fri, 01 Nov 2013

Records, as the say, are made to be broken. Whether that's cramming the most hot dogs down your gullet, running a faster mile, or yes, driving across the United States, odds are that there's someone out there wants to eat more, run faster or drive harder. Speaking of that last example, the record for driving from a set location on the east coast, in particular the Red Ball Garage in Manhattan to the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach, CA, has been one that has fascinated gearheads since a guy named Cannonball Baker made the trek from New York to LA in 53 hours, 30 minutes, in 1933.
The competition saw its glory days when Car and Driver's Brock Yates came up with the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash (more affectionately known as the Cannonball Run), although the record was most recently set by Alex Roy and his 32-hour, seven-minute trek behind the wheel of a BMW M5 in 2006. Now, there's a new champion, who made the trip from east to west in a scarcely imaginable 28 hours and 50 minutes, behind the wheel of a 2004 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG. That's works out to an average speed of 98 miles per hour over the course of 2,813.7 miles.
His name is Ed Bolian, and Jalopnik has a writeup of the epic voyage that details everything from the history of the Cannonball Run to Bolian's preparation and trouble finding co-drivers, to the trip itself. It is well worth a read.
