Mercedes only built 8007 of the gorgeous 123 series coupes with the diesel engine and a lot less with the turbo version . This wonderful car was finished in Champagne ( MB color code 473 ) with palomino color MB-tex interior . It is a very elegant color combination and i do get compliments on it every time i drive it . The body and the paint are in wonderful condition . There are no dings , dents or scratches and the paint still shines . The interior is also still very well preserved , as the many pictures will show . The seats are in good condition , the carpets are like new and the headliner and door panels are clean . The wood is also in great shape . This car really looks great and many people can not believe , that it is almost 30 years old . But the best thing about it is the way it drives . It has always been maintained well and it shows . Besides regular maintenance it also received a air-filter upgrade and is much quicker as a result of it . You can drive it at 85-90 miles per hour all day long and still get 27 miles per gallon of diesel . This coupe has the lines and the sturdy build of a classic Mercedes while featuring all the amenities of a much more modern car . It comes with power windows, power sunroof, power door locks, power mirror , cruise control and AC . The original radio has been upgraded to a newer model featuring a CD player . I still have the original radio as well .  This is one of the few classic cars you can drive every day and not think twice about it . These cars are known to go for over 500k miles with the right maintenance . There are several Mercedes diesel of this era on Ebay right now with over 400k miles and still driving well . So with only 140k miles , this car is barely broken in .  This engine is also the perfect candidate for Bio diesel conversion , where you can drive on vegetable oil or free waste oil from restaurants . This 300CD always only drove on regular diesel , but i was told , it would be a easy conversion .  With prices on clean 123 series Mercedes rising over the last few years and the low miles , this could also be a very good and practical long term investment .  If you have any questions or would like to see this 300CD , please send me an email and i will get back to you quickly . I would prefer to sell this car to somebody locally , who could actually come out and see it / test drive it . But i would also be willing to help with shipping arrangements or an airport pick up for the winning bidder . Please have your funding in order , ask all questions and do all your " due diligence " BEFORE placing a bid . This is a wonderful , great running 30 year old automobile and it will be sold "as is " , " where is " and without a warranty . The winning bidder should not be disappointed . I did upload many more pictures and they can describe this car much better than i can . Thank you for looking at my auction and good luck !!

Highlights from the Goodwood Festival of Speed, including the McLaren P1 and a Ford Transit running the hill

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

The sole purpose of this post is as a time-waster, and since you shouldn't have to work to waste time, we've done it for you. In the numerous videos below you'll find cars that have lately been in the news tramping all over the grounds of Lord March's estate in Goodwood, England.
There's the McLaren P1 heading up the hill, the Jaguar Project 7, then a casually-driven Porsche 917 followed by an even-more-casually-driven Porsche 956, topped off by a Porsche 936 that is anything but casually driven. The next round is the flame-spitting Peugeot 405 T16 Pikes Peak from Climb Dance, a camera mounted on the Peugeot RCZ R after it showing you what the whole, uninterrupted run up the hill looks like. For a real head-turner, we couldn't embed it but there's Andy Reid blasting up the hill in a Ford Transit Supervan with a Cosworth 3000 V6 engine.
The modern racing contingent has Allan McNish doing the hill in the Audi R18 e-tron quattro he used to win Le Mans and Lewis Hamilton making lots of tire smoke in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas MGP-W02. For comparison, that's followed by Nick Heidfeld's record-setting run up the hill in 1999 in the McLaren MP4/14 . The classic racing contingent is headlined by 71-year-old Giacomo Agostini on an MV Agusta.

2015 Mercedes C-Class order guide leaked

Wed, 23 Apr 2014

We may not have an official starting price for the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but as of right now, we can tell you about all the options for the eagerly anticipated new luxury sedan.
Benz Report has the entire order guide for the C-Class, with breakdowns from package pricing to how many different colors, wheel designs and lighting configurations will be available when the new model hits dealers later this year. As we mentioned in our initial review of the C-Class, there will be a pair of engine options, with the now familiar 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder available in both rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations and a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6, which can be had in all-wheel drive, only.
From there, though, the available options are impressive. Much like it does on the current car, Mercedes is offering a pair of packages that sort of define the entire car. With the C300, buyers will have the choice of either a Sport or Luxury package in addition to the base trim, while C400 buyers are limited to the Sport model.

Does Alex Rodriguez' Mercedes dealership have a PR problem?

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Alex Rodriguez, in case you haven't heard, is seemingly the new Most Hated Man In Baseball, ostensibly replacing commissioner Bud Selig (for now). Rodriguez was slammed with a 211-game suspension due to his role in the MLB's latest steroid scandal in which "A-Roid," as fans have taken to calling the former superstar, was cited with steroid use and attempts to hide his involvement by "engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate" the investigation, according to the MLB's official report.
Why is this on a car site, then? Because Rodriguez' name is attached Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz in League City, TX. An Ad Age report cites Mercedes-Benz USA in saying that A-Rod owns "about half'" of the dealership. Mercedes, for what it's worth, isn't going to any to any lengths to distance itself from its dealership or its controversial namesake, saying, "We never promoted the fact that A-Rod owned a dealership, so there's really nothing to 'distance' ourselves from. And since his activity is not illegal but rather prohibited by MLB, there's nothing actionable here."
With the scandal still a fresh piece of news and A-Rod's pending appeal, it's difficult to tell what sort of effect, if any, his name will have on the dealership's sales. Ad Age contacted the GM of Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz to get the dealership's view, but no calls were returned. According to Mercedes, any name change is up to Rodriguez and his partner(s) at the dealership. Somehow, though, we think A-Rod has other things to worry about beyond his dealership's name.
