Mercedes-benz 300se 1991 , Low Mileage, Showroom Condition, Rare Opportunity on 2040-cars
Clinton, Connecticut, United States
Up for auction is a stunning 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SE. This exceptional three owner vehicle has lived a pampered existence. The second owner purchased the car as a Mercedes dealer Starmark Certified Pre-Owned vehicle in 1999 with 49,981 miles on it. I purchased the vehicle from the second owner last year with about 85,000 miles on it. It now has just under 87,000 miles. The car has always been garage kept and only used as a fair weather vehicle. It has what I believe to be the best color combination of black exterior with gray leather interior. The paint has an incredible mirror shine and the interior is as close as you can get to new condition. The leather is soft and supple with no cracks or stains, the wood is like new with no cracks in the finish at all, carpet is like new, dash has no cracks and the instruments all look like new. Even though the car was in excellent condition when I bought it a little over a year ago I had substantial work done to it because I wanted it to not only look like new, I wanted it to drive like new and I am very particular. As a result here is a list of what I have done during my ownership.
1. Complete service including: motor oil change and filter, brake system flush, power steering flush and filter, rear end fluid change, antifreeze fluid change 2. New motor and transmission mounts 3. New ball joints 4. New idler arm 5. New brakes and rotors 6. New shocks 7. New engine shock 8. New tensioner shock 9. New drive shaft flex disc 10. Transmission service that included: new front transmission pump, new cooling hose, new filter, seals, gaskets and dip stick seal 11. New engine crankshaft seal 12. New valve cover gaskets 13. New fuel accumulator 14. New fuel pump check valve 15. New fuel filter 16. New power steering hoses 17. New set of Michelin Primacy tires 18. Four wheel alignment 19. New radiator cap 20. New gas cap 21. New oil level sender 22. New wiper blade set 23. New interior lamp housings and bulbs As a result of all this work, from my viewpoint the car needs absolutely nothing. It looks like new and drives like new. Everything works as it should. There is no differed maintenance that you will have to deal with which is so common when you purchase a used car. It does not leak a drop of anything. If you are looking at this listing then you are probably familiar with this series. This is the last year of the legendary 126 body style. There is nothing like these cars. They were constructed to be solid as a rock and for a large car they handle beautifully. Please feel free to ask any questions about this exceptional vehicle. There are very few of these cars left in this condition. Payment is to be made by a $500 deposit via Paypal within 24 hours of the auction close. The balance is due within 7 days of the auction close by wire transfer, cashiers check or cash in person. Payment must clear before car is picked up. If you can not meet these conditions please do not bid. If these conditions are not met by the high bidder the transaction will be cancelled. I reserve the right to end the auction early since car is for sale locally. If you would like to discuss the vehicle and are a serious buyer feel free to call 860-304-1084 |

Twin-turbo Cadillac CTS coming
Mercedes to roll out C63 AMG late in 2014 with 4.0L V8
Mon, 30 Dec 2013The new 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is upon us, launching initially in North America with turbocharged four-cylinder C300 4Matic and six-cylinder C400 4Matic flavors. But that's only the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to the vast array of powertrain configurations that will be offered in the new C-Class in markets around the world. Orders will soon be rolling in for gasoline, hybrid and diesel engines with four, six or eight cylinders, driving the rear wheels or all four, with the seven-speed automatic transmission soon to be replaced by a new nine-speed unit. But what enthusiasts are really looking forward to is the next C63 AMG.
As BMW has done with the M3 (and new M4), Mercedes has gradually ratcheted up the cylinder count in its AMG C-Class, graduating from the 3.6-liter V6 in the original C36 AMG to the 4.3-liter V8 in the C43 AMG, then the 5.5-liter V8 in the C55 AMG before going the distance with the sublime 6.2-liter V8 in the C63 AMG. Like its rivals, Mercedes is expected to use turbochargers as a replacement for displacement in the next model, but unlike its Bavarian rival, it won't be losing any cylinders in the process.
Skipping the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 that has gone on to power other AMG models, the next C63 AMG is still expected to introduce a new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing between 450 and 500 horsepower. It'll also reportedly keep the same seven-speed automatic transmission (instead of switching to the new nine-speed), but the jury's still out on whether it'll come with rear- or all-wheel drive (or offer buyers the choice). The downsized V8 - codenamed M177 - is then expected to find its way into other models, but the C-Class will be the first to get it when it arrives before the end of the new year ahead.
Mercedes to market Tesla-powered 2014 B-Class EV in U.S.
Thu, 05 Jul 2012Looks like another Tesla Motors investor will be looking to cash in on their connection. Autoweek reports Mercedes-Benz will offer their B-Class in the U.S. with Tesla propulsion.
The magazine says their source at the German automaker confirms plans for a B-Class electric-only vehicle. While Tesla already provides battery packs for the battery-powered Smart ForTwo, the B-Class EV will reportedly have Tesla batteries, motor and other components. U.S. residents should be able to procure one sometime in 2014.
The same Mercedes source says plans for a hybrid B-Class have been postponed for now. Adding a range-extending, gasoline-powered engine to an electric vehicle would put the car into a different class for which rebates and incentives aren't as favorable in the States.
