1995 Mercedes-benz E300 Base Sedan 4-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
|
Stats: 1995 E 300 Diesel, Built by Mercedes Benz in 1993. 239,xxx miles on a beautiful, yet imperfect body. So you want a diesel benz?. . ...good, you're looking at one. I am debating deeply about parting with this car, but I have too many, and another business starting up. OM 606 non-turbo engine, probably made from melted down panzer tanks. Slow, but indestructible. When I moved her out here from Georgia, our cross country average, loaded down with bags/dogs/etc was 31.2mpg. Try THAT in a honda. These engines are good for 500-1000K. That is not a typo. There is one, which was a former taxicab in Europe in the benz museum with1.4 MILLION kilometers on it. I put a lot of work into the mechanicals of this car over the last year. The list is as follows, with pricing: - Glow Plugs ($380) - engine wiring harness ($950) - rebuilt and digitally calibrated injectors by KermaTDI ($755) - pre-chambers cleaned - radiator, thermostat, water pump and hoses and new coolant with Purple Ice added ($855) - vacuum pump ($350) - belt tensioner ($155) - all 3 fuel filters (including the one in the tank, which is a PITA to do) ($300) - iPhone compatible radio with USB cord ($200) - a/c recharge ($50) - fan clutch ($150) - flex discs in driveline ($225) - air filter - trans fluid DRAIN AND FILL. NOT FLUSH. ($85) - new injection pump delivery valve seals and springs ($250) - replaced fuel injection return lines ($150) - Rotella 15W40 oil - tires The bad part of this car is the front and rear bumpers. They could use replacing. The parts for both are about $300 total, and labor to paint and install is about the same. I've taken down price accordingly. They don't bother me much, but some people might get annoyed. Interior is nice, small tear on driver's seat, but MB-TEX is tough stuff. I know that KBB on these cars is low. You don't have to tell me. However, I have OVER $2000 in work done to this thing over the last year, and its been setup to do its job, which is transport me over the freeways safely, comfortably and with minimal fuel consumption. Can you go find a cheaper one? Absolutely. Will you have to go back and make all the repairs I've listed above? You bet your behind you will. So don't cry about the price. LA, frequented by me, is 2/3 of a tank of diesel from PHX. Flagstaff and back is the same. Fires right up, no blowby, just good healthy diesel clatter. This is a great car for someone in sales, or someone learning to drive. Nothing, and I do mean nothing, happens quickly. They are safe as all get out, due to having airbags, and weighing about as much as a mack truck. This was the LAST year that these cars were ALL-GERMAN built, in GERMANY. The quality shows. I've used either mercedes parts, or Behr (their parts supplier). No cheap chinese junk in this thing, it's too nice. Cash, check, whatever. I've got a CLEAN title from GEORGIA, where this is registered. We will meet at a Wells Fargo (my bank) do transfer money for a notarized title. I'll listen to considered offers, but lets not waste each other's time please... Cheap to insure, lovely to drive, and you might see a grown man cry when you buy it. That's got to be worth something, right? |

Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG formalize technical partnership
Thu, 19 Dec 2013The development of a partnership between Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin has been a long time coming. The news dates back to 2008, and over the five years since was supposed to lead to a rejuvenation of both the Maybach and Lagonda brands. That program ultimately fell apart, but the tie-in was forged afresh in July when the two automakers signed a letter of intent over a renewed partnership. And now that partnership has been formalized.
In a deal just announced, Mercedes-AMG will build a new V8 engine for Aston Martin that will power a new generation of luxury GTs for the British marque, presumably to replace the 4.7-liter V8 in the Vantage. The relationship appears to be similar to the one already in place between AMG and Pagani, only in this case, will involve Daimler taking as much as a five-percent stake in Aston Martin and an observer seat on Aston's board.
The technical partnership is also set to lead to the supply of electric and electronic systems, and could incorporate "additional areas of cooperation in the future." Whether that will include a fresh attempt at reviving Lagonda remains to be seen, as does the future of Aston's long-serving, Ford-based 6.0-liter V12 engine. But for now you can read the full announcement below.
Gullwing America turns SLS AMG Roadster into stunning 1955 300 SC redux
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Gullwing America specializes in what it calls "retro styling meets modern technology." It's next demonstration of that is the convertible above, a stylized recreation of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SC (inset) supported by the structure of a 2012 SLS AMG Roadster. Commissioned by a client in Eastern Europe, the resulting car is called the 300 SLC.
The hand-formed aluminum bodywork required just a few changes to the SLS AMG Roadster, namely reworking the headlights into a stacked arrangement of LEDs and relocating the pop-up spoiler behind the cabin. The retro grille and long, straight hood evoke the past, the custom exhaust, height-adjustable suspension, 21-inch wheels up front and 22-inch wheels in back, however, stray a little further from history. The 300 SLC will come with a hardtop and be one-of-a-kind, making it even rarer than its inspiration, of which 92 were made.
If you have any more questions, they can probably be answered in the high-res photo gallery above and press release below.
2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon is one hot hauler [w/video]
Thu, 28 Mar 2013Mentioned at the debut of the redesigned Mercedes-Benz E-Class back in January, Mercedes has finally pulled back the curtain on the E63 AMG S, which was on display at the New York Auto Show in wagon guise. The 2014 E63 AMG S ups the ante even more from a "base" E63 AMG, improving the car's performance and styling - not that it needed help with either to begin with.
Our favorite S-model upgrade is the added output tweaked out of the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 577 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, which represents a substantial gain of 27 hp and 59 lb-ft of torque over the stock E63. In wagon form, the E63 AMG S can run from 0-60 miles per hour in just 3.6 seconds and hit an electronically limited top speed of 186 mph. All 2014 E63 AMGs come with Mercedes' 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, but the S-Model adds in a limited-slip rear differential for improved performance.
Mercedes has made sure that the extra money being spent on the S-Model is instantly noticeable with slightly different design cues and black along with 10-spoke wheels with red brake calipers peeking through. Plenty of silver-chrome and high-gloss black accents finish off the exterior styling, while the interior adds Alcantara on the steering wheel, accent stitching on the leather and contrasting silver seat belts on models with the black interior.
