1999 Mercedes E300D TurboDiesel. 54085 miles
We purchased this car new in 1999. We are the original owners. It was used just for vacations, day trips etc. We took it to Maine and New Hampshire this past August. The car was always garaged. Although inside it was also under a fitted cover that we will give the new owner. We only drove it in the snow a couple times, as we had other, four wheel drive, vehicles. Finish, paint and headlight lenses look like new, no discoloration. I showed it a local car show at the 50000 mile mark and other MB owners came over to ask how I kept it so pristine. Many of the services during the warranty period were done at an MB dealer, including a full checkup just before the extended warranty period expired. After that I changed the oil with Mobil synthetic when the flexible service system told me to. The tires were replaced once with top of the line Michelins and are in good condition. We just had a front end alignment done a few months ago when the tires were rotated front to back. (The tire shown is the one that Costco replaced under warranty, where they lost my metal valve stem cap.) We are not smokers, no small children have ever been in this car (our daughter is twenty plus years past car seat age), and not dog owners (cats don't like to ride in cars). A couple of small chips on door edges, little scruff on the rear bumper. Parking attendant at the J.W. Marriott in Washington D.C. got yellow pylon paint on the front fender some years ago, the hotel paid for it to be repaired by one of the best body shops in our area. The only technical problem that I know of is that the dashboard LEDs on the speedometer display have sometimes blanked if the car was taken out on a frigidly cold day, like zero outside. I think that has happened twice, but it corrected itself immediately. Suspect it was the car's way of telling me it wanted to go back inside under its blanket. I did have the dealer check this and they found nothing wrong. Always starts easily, but I just put in a new Napa heavy duty battery anyhow, since the last five year old one was starting to get a little weak. New air filter over the summer too. I have had Mercedes 220D, 300D, 300SD, and 300D 2.5 cars and was a Mercedes-Benz Club of America member for many years. I have owned and operated numerous other diesel trucks, tractors, bulldozers etc. Have taken diesel mechanics night school. Retired from a career managing high tech engineering projects. I can assure you with confidence that this car is in excellent condition. We have sold three diesel vehicles on eBay, a Mercedes, a Chevy Suburban, and an Isuzu Trooper. New owners have always appreciated the condition the vehicles were in when they saw them for the first time, and how honest we were with the description. We even got a thank you note a year later from one of the buyers. The only reason we are parting with this car is because we are selling our house with a garage, and it would be a tragedy to store it in the barn at our farm or outside under a tarp. I intended to keep this car until I died, and it was taken care of that way, so you can be comfortable that this vehicle is in tip-top shape. However a change of lifestyle has altered that plan (the keeping the car part at least). Please email with any questions. Thanks for looking! |

2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 Sport
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Mercedes Makes A Mighty Little Sedan
We got overexcited when the W203 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan came out in 2001, calling it the "Baby Benz" when it really wasn't. We knew that, too, but our enthusiasm for a model more like the old 190 of the '80s was so strong that we were willing to stretch the first-gen C-Class to fit that mold. Today, the C-Class has done what all German premium cars do: grown in size. In this case, grown to satisfy the market intentions of the previous E-Class.
There was the tall A-Class sold from 1998 through 2010, but we never considered that a serious small Benz in the proper spirit, nor was it ever offered in the US. Regardless, we've been craving a smaller, premium, sexy sedan all the while.
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.
Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG spied in Sweden
Wed, 16 Jan 2013We've spotted the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLA testing a couple times in recent months in getting closer to production form and shedding camouflage, but now it looks like we're see our first look at the AMG version of this compact crossover. The low ride height might trick some into thinking that we're just seeing the already-confirmed A45 AMG out testing, but the unique beltline, rear doors and side windows confirm this is some version of the GLA-Class.
What makes us so confident that this is the AMG model? Well, for starters, this prototype has beefier brakes with cross-drilled front and rear rotors and bigger front calipers, but it also sports dual exhaust outlets poking through the rear fascia and a suspension that has been lowered considerably. Our spy shooters said that this car's exhaust note made it almost certainly an AMG model.
Just to be clear, the GLA AMG will not be powered by a 4.5-liter engine. The closely related A45 AMG will carry the "45" in its name to celebrate the first 45 years of AMG, and our sources seem to indicate the AMG version of the GLA will do the same. We're expecting this sporty crossover to produce as much as 350 horsepower from its AMG-tuned four-cylinder engine, and like the all-new E63 AMG, it could very well come standard with 4Matic all-wheel drive.
