Good news first... this car does not leak any fluids, trans, power steer, brakes, cooling
or engine oil !! most MBZ diesels do due to the crankcase pressure. The engine and trans
were installed from a low miles car, the work was done by Enrique at Mr MB motors 5557
Reseda Tarzana, CA. If you check a few MBZ diesel forums you will find great reports on
this shop / mechanic, ie honest and cheap!, see picture of receipt. The turn signals, horn,
windshield wipers, brake lights, euro parking lights all work, the electrical system works
and there is Nothing draining the battery. I start and drive the car every week approx 5
-10 miles, and have done so the last 4 years. The title is clear with no tickets. The car
will never require a smog check. This car is an excellent choice to convert to 100% WVO
(waste veggie oil), Bio-Fuel etc. The heater / blower work well. No air conditioner or AC.
The upholstery is in great shape.
The car does not overheat. The car is easy to start. the car drives well. These 80's MBZ Turbo Diesel's are one of the most reliable cars EVER BUILT!
Here are some Video's

The vintage purple dark window tint is curling and removes with 0% glue residue left
behind, and comes off easily.
The rear window is a new Chinese laminate glass, coupled with a new $100. GERMAN rubber
gasket both should last 25+ years, there were minor rust spots on the body sheet metal
surrounding the window that were sanded and painted with rust inhibitor... see pictures here http://www.flickr.com/photos/101058104@N08/
The wheels are an aluminum alloy with chrome plating. 2 of those wheels, (now in the
trunk) have dissimilar metal corrosion and leak air, SO I have 2 standard MBZ wheels on the
rear of the car currently. You get 6 wheels!! You can have the wheels re chromed, you can
have the chrome removed for a flat aluminum finish perhaps OR go for a polished aluminum
finish, your call.
the sun roof opens and closes and does not leak, see video.
2 windows do not work and 2 go up and down however the rear passenger window needs a new
connector from the motors arm to the actual glass, so currently a piece of wood is inserted
into the door to keep the window up, the upholstered panel and handle are in the trunk.
The trunk lock is becoming difficult to open, but with a good shot of wd40 it will open.
The drivers side door will not unlock with the current key, this can be fixed perhaps or
re-keyed to match the pasanger side lock. All the gauges work, ex speedo, oil, tach except
for the clock, which does turn, yet doesn't keep accurate time, as well as the non
functioning odometer. The electric motor driven antenna does work, however it began to
make a new noise so I cut and electrical taped the overly long wires off to prevent any
damage to it, these things rarely work in these cars. The cruise control also works. The
car has a new battery.
I have given an accurate detail of this car. I will show and drive the car to anyone
interested. I need a $400. pay-pal, non-refundable deposit within 36hrs of auction end and
I need the car picked up / balance paid in cash within 10 days of auction end. I will
assist in placing the car with a shipping / carrier company, ie I will drive it 20 miles
from my zip of 91606 to a shipper, but you are responsible for all fees associated with
said shipping.
This car is sold as is and there are no returns, refunds or warranty.
Good luck, bid early and often!

Daimler ponders partnerships with Apple, Google
Mon, Aug 24 2015Daimler Chairman Dieter Zetsche is willing to consider joint ventures with tech giants like Apple and Google. Don't expect the automaker's vehicles to become just another platform for their software, though. In an interview with a German magazine, the chairman admits "different types" of partnerships could be possible, according to Reuters. As vehicles become increasingly connected, greater expertise is necessary in creating their software. The changing market is an opportunity for tech companies to enter the auto industry. "Google and Apple want to provide system software for cars and bring this entire ecosystem around Apple and Google into the vehicle," Zetsche said, according to Reuters. "That can be interesting for both sides." Although, he was clear no deals had happened, yet. For automakers, the danger of this cooperation is for a vehicle to be just a physical device that runs the software. "We don't want to become contractors who have no direct content with customers any more and supply hardware to third parties," he said in the interview. Zetsche has been working out how to create this balance for a while. Earlier this year, he said that some partnerships with Silicon Valley firms could be helpful. However, data privacy remains a major concern, especially in the wake of multiple vehicle hacks in recent months. In the chairman's opinion, a Mercedes-Benz shouldn't just protect its occupants physically but also their personal information. Related Video:
