Diesel Mercedes Benz E300 1997 Sedan Great Condition. on 2040-cars
Livingston, Montana, United States

I am parting with my Mercedes Diesel (non-turbo). This car has been really great. I purchased it in April, for work, and put 14000 miles on it with no problems. It has 368k on the odometer. I had been looking at this model of Mercedes Benz nationwide and this one was the cleanest and the best I found. I am the 4th owner. The previous owner was a diesel Mercedes affectionado. He had one with 550k and another with 700k. They maintained this machine perfectly for roughly 89k. The 2nd owner, put the bulk of the miles on the vehicle and also maintained this machine by the book. The 2nd owner was a surgeon that commuted from Lookout Mountain, TN. To Atlanta, GA. Both owners used the same mechanic mostly. I have most records for repairs and services for the Mercedes. It is in great shape and anyone that knows anything about these diesels will tell you they can get more than 600k if maintained properly (especially the non turbo). The car still averages 31 mpg and runs perfectly. I just got 37mpg on a trip up to Whitefish, MT. a few weeks ago. I am selling this Mercedes because it is just too small for my work needs.
I had the Mercedes dealership in Athens, GA. perform the 120 point inspection (I have copies) before I purchased. I also did the carfax no wrecks etc. And had the 3rd owner's mechanic perform another pre-purchase inspection in order to cross check the dealers inspection. The Engine electronics light comes on at start and I had the dealer check this as well as the previous owner's mechanic, and my mechanic. It is a code for injectors 3 and 4. All parties I have spoken with have said it was no rush to address this issue. Doesn't affect performance at all. If I was going to keep the car I would change the injectors as a matter of maintenance sometime in the next 12 months. The car has run flawlessly since I have owned it and I hate to sell it, but the trunk space is just too small for me. The KBB values this car at $5549 in Fair condition which is the KBB's lowest. This car qualifies for good condition but I used fair as a price point. The car has New Bridgestones (less than 2k miles.) I purchased Bridgestone instead of Michelin because the Bridgestones had better ratings and reviews. Recent oil change. Fuel filter. Trans service with all mercedes fluids and filters. The Bad. There a few small cracks on the dash. The drivers side dash speaker has a small hole in it from my Stubborn GPS sticking to the windshield. The Rear DS window does not work from the master control. But does work from the door. Just a switch. $25 A small crack on the DS rear bumper molding. The housing on the 3rd brake light is broken. I have part number. Cup holder is broken. Buyer responsible for pick up or shipping. Deposit of US $500.00 within 24 hours of auction close Full payment is required within 7 days of auction close |

New Die Hard movie wrecked 132 cars in $11 million chase scene [w/video]
Sat, 16 Feb 2013It would seem the act of dying hard brings with it lots of wanton destruction of the four-wheeled kind. According to John Moore, director of A Good Day To Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again. Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there... That's the fun of it."
Please join us in one great big collective sigh. Done? Okay, let's continue.
"With Die Hard it's about how audacious the action is," says Moore. "So you have to drive over a Lamborghini. An actual one. And yes it hurts me. I'm a car fanatic." Yeah. Sounds like it hurt really bad... though not as bad as the final tally after all the carnage had been counted: "Someone showed me the numbers on the car chase and soup to nuts, you put it all together it was like an $11 million sequence."
Boston bombers were tracked using Mercedes mbrace [w/video]
Sun, 28 Apr 2013We now know Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the two brothers said to be behind the Boston Marathon bombings, planned to head for New York City to detonate more improvised explosive devices. As it turns out, that plan was foiled by the quick thinking of one Mercedes-Benz owner, diligent police work and the Mercedes-Benz mbrace system. When the brothers carjacked a 26-year-old Chinese entrepreneur identified only as "Danny," they didn't realize his Mercedes-Benz M-Class was equipped with the mbrace system, which can call for help in the event of an accident or track the vehicle in the event of a theft.
According to reports, the Tsarnaev brothers held Danny hostage for nearly 90 minutes while they drove around Boston forming a plan until they had to stop for fuel. When one of the brothers went inside to pay, the other put his gun down for a moment. Danny took the opportunity to unlatch his seat belt, open the door and run to another nearby gas station, where he told the owner to call the police.
When police arrived, they used the mbrace system to track the SUV after receiving Danny's permission, and it wasn't long before a shootout between police and the brothers ensued. When it was over, the eldest brother lay dead in the street. For more on the story, view the video report available below.
European automakers gear up for Brazilian production
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
