2002 Silver Mercedes E320 Special Edition on 2040-cars
Lumberton, North Carolina, United States
|
I have loved this problem-free, great-performing car, and intended to drive it for several more years, but have unexpectedly inherited an almost-new car from a family member. I bought this car in 2009, put a catalytic converter on one side, and have had to do virtually nothing but routine maintenance since then. Several great things about this car: It was the last year of this classic body style, and after 6 six years, any kinks this series ever had, which seem to have been few anyway, had been resolved. Apparently to celebrate the final year, this Special Edition was produced with: great looking (and unique) 17" wheels, black tiger's eye walnut interior trim, and an upgraded stereo. I did just have replaced the cd changer, front shocks and brake pads. 2 years ago I did have a run in with a deer, but had come to almost a complete stop. It did require new front bumper, hood & left headlight, basically superficial (and done by the premier shop in town). I cracked the left front spoiler on a curb; totally unnoticeable with 2" of duct tape - you laugh but the pictures speak for themselves! Headliner separating slightly; currently tacked up and basically presentable. Car runs great. Gets 30-31 on the road. Was going to replace motor mounts as a preventative measure, but misread the order form and received 1 instead of 2; it's included (has not been installed). Light scratches on 1 or 2 wheels; only noticeable up close. All told a lot of car for the money. The tax value on the car is $6k. Average miles (15k / yr) would be 180 and it has under 140. Mobil 1 synthetic every 3-4k. Tires are fine, a little noisy; will probably need replacing within a year. Washed and waxed regularly. Bought new MB mats about 3 yrs ago ($150). Front license plate does not go with car. Appears to have been NC & VA car most of its life. Clean NC title in hand. Questions? 910.620.0358 |

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class interior caught in spy shots
Tue, 29 Jan 2013With the redesigned 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class getting closer to production, the camera-wielding crew over at Autospies somehow managed to get inside of the car to snap some detailed spy shots. As the prototypes continue to shed camouflage, it would appear that Mercedes-Benz is getting closer to unveiling the car, and with the Geneva and New York auto shows coming up, it could be sooner rather than later.
From what we can see of this car's interior, the overall look of the S-Class' cabin isn't a ground-breaking departure from the current car, but it has been completely redesigned with more advanced technology. The styling is now even more upscale with larger swaths of wood, more shapely door panels (without the built-in armrest cubbies) and the concept-like two-spoke steering wheel. The highlight of this car though is probably the two massive digital screens with one being used for driver information and the other used for navigation, audio and infotainment systems. One other detail we noticed about this car is that it was equipped with the new 360-degree camera that debuted on the new GL-Class and will also be used on the 2014 E-Class. We also know that the next-gen S-Class will be getting the new cloud-based MBrace2 infotainment system.
As for the exterior design, it looks like the next S-Class will carry a similar profile as the current car, but we can see through the camouflage that the new styling will fit in better with current Mercedes-Benz products. Up front, the grille is much larger is flanked by aggressive LED-trimmed headlights, while the rear view of the car shows us the LED brake light now at the top of the rear window, a more pointed trunk opening and a more squared-off rear fascia with exhaust outlets pushed to the corners.
Erebus Motorsport Mercedes E-Class V8 Supercar completes the field [w/videos]
Sat, 23 Feb 2013Ford, Holden and Nissan introduced their V8 Supercar challengers a while back. Erebus Motorport, whose racing program got the green light not even 120 days ago, has finally shown off the Mercedes-Benz E-Class racer that will complete this year's field of entries. The first AMG race car ever to be built outside of Germany, it's an Australian-built tube-frame chassis specced to the series' Car of Tomorrow rules, fitted with body panels that channel the E63 AMG.
Supported by AMG Customer Motorsport, the 5.0-liter engine is provided by HWA in Germany, the racing arm of AMG. Regulations dictate that it have roughly 650 horsepower, a redline between 7,000 and 7,500 rpm and a torque curve that matches the parity baseline set for all cars.
Lee Holdsworth, Tim Slade and Maro Engel will drive the three team cars, each with different sponsors. Their first showing will be at the Clipsal 500 on March 3 in Adelaide, here in the US we'll get to see them in May at the Circuit of the Americas. Check out the videos below of the Erebus car starting up at its launch, and footage of all of this year's cars doing pre-season testing on track together.
Why all of this year's F1 noses are so ugly [w/video]
Fri, 31 Jan 2014If you're a serious fan of Formula One, you already know all about The Great Nosecone Conundrum of 2014. Those given to parsing each year's F1 regulations predicted the strong possibility of the so-called "anteater" noses as far back as early December 2013. Highly suggestive visual evidence first came after Caterham's crash test in early January, with further proof coming as soon as Williams showed a rendering of the FW36 challenger for this year's championship. That car earned a name that wasn't nearly so kind as "anteater."
Casual followers of the sport - or anyone who gets the feed from this site - probably don't know what's happening, except to wonder why the current year's F1 cars are led by appendages that would make Cyrano de Bergerac feel a whole lot better about himself.
The short answer to the question of ugsome F1 noses is "FIA regulations and safety." The reason there are various kinds of ugsome noses is simpler: engineers. The same boffins who have given us advances including carbon fiber monocoques, six-wheeled cars, double diffusers and Drag Reduction Systems are bred to do everything in their power to exploit every possible freedom in the regulations to make the cars they're building go faster - the caveat being that those advances have to work within the overall philosophy of the whole car.
