     What separates this car from most is in fact it is a one owner Southern California car since new! He is a family friend of mine and is very honest and trustworthy. It was babied it's entire life by a southern California prominent doctor who drove this car to and from work and to and from the country club. This car was garaged it's entire life in the upscale city of Villa Park CA. For those of you who know this neighborhood it is like the Beverly Hills of Orange County. No expense was spared when keeping this car tip top since new. Always serviced by Mercedes Benz certified mechanics. The previous owner loved this car and can have very well bought many other newer models over the 31 years he owned this car. When I asked him why he kept this particular car so long his answer was simple. "Always trouble free, very reliable, and a joy to drive". Period!
     This car is all original and has the well known bullet proof Mercedes 5 cylinder turbo diesel motor that shows just under 250,000 original highway miles. Of course you know that this kind of miles on a Mercedes diesel is far from it's life expectancy. Especially considering who owned this car since new. A million miles is not unheard of. Just ask any Mercedes certified diesel mechanic what you can expect from this type of motor. The transmission shifts perfectly and this car drives down the highway going 80 MPH like it was on rails. VERY RELIABLE car for VERY CHEAP! Everything mechanically works as new except the A/C does not blow cold. The engine compartment is as clean and detailed as they come and again just oozes the meticulous nature of the previous owner.
     The exterior show so nice with hardly any flaws at all. The paint shines EXCEPTIONALLY well! This car was detailed often and believe me it shows! Again garaged it's entire life at home, at the hospital, and even at the country club! You will not be disappointed when examining the exterior quality and shine. Just gorgeous! I can only find one ding by the rear license plate and a few dings on the passenger side doors from being garaged. But these few dings can easily be repaired by a Dent Repair Specialist without having to re-paint. A few rock chips on the bottom portion of the front clip but WOW! You can tell how well this car has been cared for. It wears 99% of it's original paint since new. Only one VERY MINOR bump in the front bumper that took only a couple of days at the local Mercedes body shop to fix. Otherwise this car has never been involved in a accident! The under carriage shows ZERO rust and is VERY clean.
     The interior shows very well for it's age but does have a couple of minor flaws. It has a aftermarket stereo since the original was stolen many years ago. The front seats has some leather cracking and the leather on the center door posts seem droopy. A minor interior detail would really bring out the quality the leather still retains. Very nice interior with just a couple of flaws. Please see the photos and the attachment to PhotoBucket for many quality detailed photos.
     Just come and see this car. For being 31 years old this car is fantastic! Where can you get a 4-door Mercedes that runs and drives exceptional, has a clear title, owned by a doctor in southern California since new for VERY cheap?

Mercedes rules out hybrid supercar, promises SLS successor

Sat, 16 Mar 2013

The recent Geneva Motor Show was a festival of hypercars, with the presence of not one, but three over-the-top debuts: the Lamborghini Veneno, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LeFerrari. The latter two have hitched their carbon fiber bumpers to the electrification bandwagon by using hybrid-electric powertrains not entirely unlike the propulsion systems we've come to know in cars like the Toyota Prius and Chevrolet Volt. Does that mean the flow of electrons up the four-wheeled food chain will eventually consume our hallowed supercars? Not if AMG has anything to say about it.
AMG Director of Vehicle Development Tobias Moers recently confirmed that not only will there be a successor to the Mercedes-Benz performance division's SLS AMG, he notes that its internal combustion engine will most definitely not be sharing living quarters with an electric drivetrain. Instead, AMG plans to focus on further pushing the power and efficiency envelope of the internal combustion engine and advancing the use of lightweight materials to achieve their goals. The first example of this effort can be seen in the new SLS AMG Black Series that incorporates many weight-saving techniques to shed some 154 pounds from the SLS AMG GT (above), which itself is lighter than the standard SLS AMG.
Furthermore, Moers remarks that his company is happy to leave the hypercar segment to companies like Ferrari and McLaren. He admits that, "Ferrari in the hyper-car segment is still a different brand than AMG. We have to be honest..." So rather than taking the SLS further upmarket to do battle with bulls and stallions, Moers hinted that the next-generation SLS may be joined by another performance model that fits neatly between itself and the C63 AMG.

Aston Martin and Daimler continue talks on SUV project, CEO required

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

The Aston Martin Lagonda SUV concept revealed at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show didn't earn the plaudits the company is used to when it reveals new models, and it has lived an uncertain life ever since. Thought to have been scrapped along with the entire revival of the Lagonda brand, then thought to have been resurrected due to Chinese, Middle Eastern and Russian demand, another year passed before we heard more definitive talk about an Aston Martin expansion when AutoCar reported that the Lagonda could be built on one of Mercedes-Benz's AMG SUV platforms.
A report in Automotive News Europe indicates plans have gotten serious, its unnamed sources saying that the English carmaker is talking to Daimler "to extend their cooperation to building an SUV." Neither Daimler, Aston Martin nor Investindustrial, the managing partner among Aston Martin's ownership consortium, would comment. But with Investindustrial having pledged to expand the range, competitors like Bentley, Maserati and Lamborghini getting into the SUV racket and clear demand from current and future customers, it's easy to believe Aston Martin is working hard to put the pieces together.
One further potential bump on the road to an Aston SUV is the company's search for a new CEO. Ulrich Bez relinquished to top spot at the company at the end of 2013, and Aston reportedly will not finalize its model strategy without a new CEO in place.

2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA order guide leaked

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The dealer order guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA has made its way online courtesy of the crew at CLAForums.com, and not only does it shed light on the ways buyers will be able to configure the entry-level sedan, it talks specific option pricing. Shoppers will be able to select between the CLA250 and CLA250 4Matic, and the option sheet should offer a number of packages to suit buyer tastes, including a sport package with tweaked fascias and unique wheels. Bi-xenon headlamps and 18-inch alloys may also be had as well as a panoramic sunroof and a collision avoidance system. The CLA will be available with a number of active safety systems on board, including lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, park assist and blind spot assist, to name a few.
The new sedan comes in 10 colors, including a very dashing purple Mecedes-Benz calls Northern Lights Violet, and there are a total of four interior trim finishes. The automaker hasn't released final pricing of all models just as of yet - we do know from Mercedes' Kate Upton Super Bowl ad that the car will start at $29,900 - but you can check out individual option and package pricing in the gallery. You can also find more information over at CLAForums.com.
