1998 Mercedes Benz Ml 320 W/ Upgrades Needs Work And/or Salvageable Clear Title on 2040-cars
Oak Park, Illinois, United States
Hello, you are bidding on a 1998 ML 320 with approximately 223,650 miles. Please read full description before bidding. This has been my regular car for the past 2.5 years. Former owner was a dealer's father in Metro Detroit. He put upgrades into the car from the ML55 including front grill/bumper, rear bumper, side moldings, mirrors, front and rear headlamps and also ML55 alloy wheels. A new engine was swapped in at approximately 195,000 miles and currently has ~100,000 miles on it. This was all done to give the SUV's appearance of a 2003-2004 model or so. The interior is very clean and the leather seats are in great shape for its age. The cosmetic problems are slight rusting of the passenger front fender as well as slight rusting on front wheel wells on either side. Overall not bad at all for a car of this age. Also, I was backed into by a parallel parker and the front bumper was severely cracked and is slightly detached at each side (see photo). Main reason I am selling is that recent repairs have arisen that I can not afford. The power steering is completely shot/gone out and needs new front lower ball joints to the tune of $3200. The $3200 quote I received was for new power steering rack and coupling, o-ring, power steering pump, power steering reservoir, power steering reservoir gasket, and front lower ball joints. Car can be driven but as expected with vehicle's weight, takes a lot of force and requires a bit more than usual turning radius and some muscle to get it going (especially from a stopped position while turning).
I have been searching the forums a bit and was told that if you know what you're doing, parts are not that expensive and can be fixed on the cheap. Problem is I do not know what I'm doing and can not afford the $3200 hit. So I suppose this is a sale that can either be repaired and/or junked out. Hate to sell this car as I've had some good years with it and it is an absolute tank. I have driven it mostly highway miles to my place of employment and multiple trips back and forth to family in Michigan. Great in the snow and provides a good ride along with cargo. In February of this year $1500 was spent on new front inner tie rods along with a new serpentine belt, tensioner and idler pulley. Truck has been on synthetic its entire life. I am just outside the Chicagoland area in Oak Park. Buyer agrees to send deposit via PayPal for $400 of the auction price within 1 day of auction end. Rest due in cash when picking up. Please message me if you have any questions or would like to see the car. Its my first time doing anything like this on eBay so I hope I have provided everything you need on this auction listing. Thanks! |

VW, Fiat, Mercedes could be CNG winners in Europe
Fri, Dec 12 2014Fiat ads in the US try to play up the exotic, sexy side of Italian culture. On the home front in Italy, however, passenger-vehicle sales are marked by something less edgy and quite a bit more practical: the growth of compressed-natural-gas (CNG) powered car sales. In fact, Italy is leading a group of European countries where CNG sales are on the upswing and may be benefiting automakers like VW, Fiat and Mercedes-Benz, according to Automotive News. VW started sales of its Golf TGI natural-gas vehicle this year – the company's fourth in Europe – while Mercedes-Benz added a natural-gas B-class model. Fiat accounts for about 50 percent of CNG vehicles sold on the continent. In all, Europe's CNG sales through September totaled about 67,000, up seven percent from a year earlier, Automotive News Europe says, citing research firm JATO Dynamics. And the number of CNG vehicles on Europe's roads could jump tenfold within the next decade. The draw is a combination of lower refueling prices and a CNG drivetrain that typically emits less CO2 than diesel vehicles. As for Italy, about five percent of new-vehicle sales are CNG. To put that into perspective, hybrids, battery-electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and diesels combined to account for about 4.2 percent of US vehicle sales last year.

Toyota and Mercedes begin the Super Bowl ad teases with dads and hares
Tue, Jan 20 2015Advertising Age says pregame buzz is where Super Bowl advertisers really build momentum for their Big Game commercials, so let the teasing continue. We've seen the 30-second spot for the Lexus NX, Mercedes-Benz and Toyota are next out of the tunnel with campaigns that focus on a fable and fathers, respectively. The Mercedes tease gets former NFL wide receiver Jerry Rice lining up a talking-heads debate with eight-year-old Andrew Hunter about whether Hunter's hare could beat a tortoise in a race, but it's a disaster before it even begins. In what will be a continuing storyline, a social media component lets people side with #TeamTortoise or #TeamHare, with "a Big Race viewing party" going to a lucky winner. Mercedes also promises there'll be a hero at the end, which we imagine will something in the Three-Pointed-Star family as opposed to the Testudinae or Leporidae families. Toyota's all about the biological family, rolling out a series of tweets and Vine videos showing off ex-NFL'ers and their kids to hype the "One Bold Choice Leads to Another" campaign for the Camry. The profiled paterfamiliae will be examples of those "who have contributed to their families' lives in bold ways." A 60-second spot during the pre-game will feature Paralympic athlete Amy Purdy, then those stand-up dads will get their own 60 seconds during the second quarter. The social media tag for this one is #OneBoldChoice. You can watch Mercedes' opening salvo above, and check out a Toyota tweet with ex-quarterback Kurt Warner below.
