Up for auction is my 1998 Mercedes Benz E300 turbo diesel. The automobile is in overall nice shape for a fifteen year old car. The mileage is just under 126k, so not bad for year or for these type of vehicle. These cars, i have been told drive for 300-600 thousand miles. I have been having some problems with the car when i start it up in the morning. It runs a little rough, and I get some white smoke from unburnt fuel. I was told by a local shop that the glow plug on cylinder 6 was not working. He said it could be other things as well, such as injectors or the fuel system. At any rate the cost of diagnosing this was as much as i hoped a repair would be. I am not in a position to have it fixed, so I am hoping to pass it on to someone who can give it the attention it deserves.
Once the car has warmed up the smoke goes away and it drives smooth with full power. The car drives and handles very well. The other things the car needs is a/c to be charged and a longer oil plug bolt installed (included).
The interior is really nice on this car! Seats are black leather with no tears or damage. The dash has two small cracks up towards the upper vents, not very noticeable. The headliner is sagging a little in the back. There is a dash cover on it now to protect it from the Florida sun. The glass is all nice, there is one tiny chip on the front windshield.
The exterior is pretty nice for it's age as well. Looks to be the original paint. There is a nickle sized dent and scratch on the driver fender. Paint is faded on the front bumper and a spot above the drivers door. The wheels are ok. Painted black and need tires and 1 center cap.
This car is a running and driving project for a knowledgeable enthusiast.
This car is being auctioned as-is with no implied warranty.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
Next Mercedes-Benz GLK to get AMG variant? Not likely...
Fri, 15 Mar 2013If you think Mercedes-Benz will slap an AMG badge on anything with wheels, think again. Word has it the German manufacturer will not offer buyers a performance version of the GLK, with Tobias Moers, director of AMG vehicle development, saying that he doesn't see a market for the car. That's not to say the picture won't change in the near future, however. According to CarAdvice.com, AMG is keeping a close eye on the arrival of the Porsche Macan.
"Maybe there will be a change in the market when the Porsche [Macan] comes up," Moers said, "but right now, no."
The real hitch in the giddy-up seems to be cost. Moers says developing the machine into something worthy of an AMG would represent "a huge investment." We can't exactly argue with that. Fortunately, AMG buyers have plenty of Mercedes-Benz models to choose from.
Volvo S60 Polestar concept plays in the snow with Mercedes C63 AMG
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Chris Harris took to a snowy stretch of tarmac to get a fingertips-on-the-wheel feel of the Volvo S60 Polestar concept. Harris says the turbocharged sedan with 508 horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque - and a manual transmission - is "a study to see if Volvo can get back into the fast-car market." The Polestar S60 concept, one of which was already purchased for $300,000 by a private buyer, is still making the publicity rounds because even Volvo's Chinese owners realize that, as Harris says, "Volvo sold more cars because it made fast cars" like the old 850 T5 Wagon that stormed the British Touring Car Championship in the 1990s.
For reference, Harris compares the blue wonder to the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and its 487 hp and 442 lb-ft. The question is, were Volvo to get the price of a production version of the S60 Polestar to climb way down from its 200,000-pound sticker, could it be worthy competition to the established giants?
You can watch Harris divine the answer via a lot of drifting through the snow and a drag race in the video below.
