This car turns heads - literally.

How many cars have you driven where pedestrians on sidewalks near the car shout out "I like your car!" It has happened to me repeatedly and only in this car - most recently yesterday!

If you are the type to look for a truly great car at a great price, congratulations, you just found it.

I am the fourth owner of this car and have thoroughly enjoyed driving it for the past 9 years. I gave up my '98 Corvette Convertible to buy it. My wife thought I was nuts at the time, but you know why I did it - it is a classic all the way. Quiet, smooth and one of the best looking cars in history.

It is in excellent condition and doesn’t need anything. Carfax and title are clean and the car has never been tampered with (no accidents with the last two owners and according to carfax, none with the first ones either). I just turned 115k miles and it has A/C, PW, PS, PB, CC, original AM/FM/Cass (it was a $425 extra when new!), leather and 2 tops – hardtop and convertible. Ceiling mounted hardtop removal rack is included. Mechanically excellent - you don't even know the engine is running when you are stopped at a traffic light. A/C is cold and has been updated to todays refrigerant.

As you can tell, I am not a dealer. If you want to go to a dealer and pay their profit and have no history on the car, I am OK with that - good luck. On the other hand, if you want to talk to the person who has maintained and driven the car for almost a decade, I am he.

The car was imported from Germany to San Francisco and sold by a dealer in San Rafael California. I bought it from a woman neighbor who moved East in the 90’s. It has never seen a winter and has no rust (including undercarriage). Best I can tell, it has always been garaged. While I owned it, I did have it painted (original color) and it is gorgeous. I have the original window sticker ($41,302), owner’s literature and multiple keys. This car has been meticulously maintained for its entire life. I can guarantee that this car is one of the nicest cars you will find of this vintage and the absolute best color combo.

Give me a call if you are interested – and serious - and I will be happy to tell you anything you want to know - 610 517 6069. You are welcome to come and see and drive the car. If you see it, you will buy it. For those that don't do this, you may get a shot at it with the auction, but I will end the auction early if I get a reasonable offer. I put a very reasonable reserve on it - unfortunately I must sell it and priced it to sell in the first listing. I know there are some crazy prices out there - this is not one. Don't miss this car - I almost did when I bought it 9 years ago and really glad I got it.

Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept crossover leaked ahead of Shanghai debut

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

With just a few days left before the start of the Shanghai Motor Show, images of the Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept compact crossover have emerged online. The little 'ute is based on the small A-Class hatchback, and though it shares an identical wheelbase, is larger in every other dimension.
Looking like a rough-and-tumble five-door hatchback on the tippy toes of its 20-inch wheels, the GLA is most certainly destined for production in a toned down form that will borrow many bits and pieces from other cars based on this platform like the aforementioned A-Class and the CLA-Class sedan. Carscoop reports that the production version of the GLA will be revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September of this year, with sales to the public starting in 2014.
Since it's based on the A-Class, we expect that the production GLA-Class will be powered by your choice of Mercedes' 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine and a diesel or two, and will offer transmissions that include the company's seven-speed DCT and perhaps a six-speed manual (at least in Europe). If the GLA follows the same path as the two cars before it, expect a GLA45 AMG producing over 300 horsepower, as well. As for what powers the GLA Concept, that just might remain a mystery until the vehicle is officially revealed in China.

2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec gets 33 mpg, priced from $38,950*

Tue, 30 Apr 2013

It's been more than a year since we first saw the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec unveiled at the 2012 New York Auto Show, but it looks like the compact diesel crossover is finally starting to roll into dealerships. Those wanting to buy a diesel GLK will only have to pony up an extra $1,500 over a base, gas-powered GLK350, as the GLK250's starting price is listed at $38,590 (*not including $905 destination charge).
The turbocharged 2.1-liter four-cylinder diesel produces 200 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and Mercedes-Benz has also provided some fuel economy numbers for this model, with claimed EPA estimates of 24 miles per gallon city and 33 mpg highway. There is no listing for the GLK250 on the EPA's website yet, but the figures represent significant increase over the GLK350's lackluster 19 mpg city and 25 mpg highway figures, which are for the rear-wheel drive model. The GLK250 comes standard with the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system - a $2,000 option on GLK350 - meaning that if you want an all-wheel-drive version of the 2013 GLK, it's actually cheaper to opt for the diesel model. Head over to the Mercedes-Benz site for the full 2013 GLK-Class configurator.

Xcar drives the Mercedes-AMG C63 S

Wed, Mar 11 2015

The transition among Europe's high performance vehicles from naturally aspirated power towards turbocharging has taken time but has shown constant progress. The march seemingly started with hot hatches when models like the Volkswagen GTI quit adding displacement and finally succumbed to forced induction. Now, the change has affected the higher rungs with the latest BMW M3 and possibly even all future Porsche 911s. Of course, the question arises does this shift really matter to the driving experience? Xcar Films aims to find while taking a spirited ride in the new Mercedes-AMG C63 S. One thing is for sure; the switch from the 6.2-liter V8 in favor of the new 4.0-liter twin-turbo doesn't seem to be hurting the Merc's sound. Even with forced induction, the exhaust still emits a very angry grumble. Find out from Xcar if the rest of the new engine's attributes stack up quite so well, though. Related Video:
