Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Less than 125,000 original miles. Scratch, minor wrinkle down drivers side, some trim pieces missing in rear cargo area, needs two hydraulic accumulators. Runs, drives great, starts as it should, all glow plugs and injectors replaced in last year or so, replaced both rear axles when they started to hum, bought car for my daughter but have recently upgraded her to an S class sedan and we no longer use this car. Original paint, interior, etc. Car is not a cream puff, but with less than 125,000 miles she is well worth owning. There is nothing major wrong with her, she would be trustworthy for a drive anywhere."

This beautiful old car came to our family 4 years ago, with 96,000 miles from the second owner of the car, an elderly gentleman who told me he had owned it for nearly 20 years, but was selling it to purchase a Jaguar. He owns a diesel engine repair facility, so I know it was well cared for by him. He did, however, lightly scrape drivers side from drivers door back to end of car one evening going in his gated drive. I bought the car to put my daughter in so she would have something reliable that was built like a tank. In the years that I have owned it we replaced both rear axles when one of them began to hum, I put new glow plugs and rebuilt injectors in at about 105k miles, replaced belts and hoses as needed, changed oil and filter regularly (ROTELLA Diesel Oil), replaced both front shocks, and performed any other maintenance as needed. The rear accumulators need to be replaced, and I have them ordered and should receive them and get them on before the car is sold. Please note that the picture of the instrument cluster, and of the engine, were taken with car running in park with air conditioner on. I believe that show about 700 rpm and the oil pressure is pegged.

Inside the vehicle the wood trim is pretty good, with some varnish peeling. The floor mats are in excellent shape, the seats do not need recovering, the carpeting in rear is fading to a pinkish tint, the two rear pillars trim is gone, and some of the door trim is wrinkled from the Texas heat. All door and window rubber is serviceable. Windows have been tinted, and tint is good. Air conditioner is still the R 12 system and cools well. Heater is good, all windows roll up and down as they should. Original tool kit and first aid kit are in place, as well as many of the original books and records. I am probably missing something, but...

OK, I love these old diesels and this is the nicest and best one I have ever owned. With less than 125,000 miles she is a treasure for the right buyer. You all know these motors and what you can do with them. I am at that point in my life where I just want a newer car that I take to Wal-Mart for oil changes and to the dealer for anything else. I have driven nothing but Mercedes for 25 years now, and it is herd thinning time. I currently own 4 Mercedes wagons and 1 Mercedes sedan and as retirement is looming...well I want this to go to a home that will care for her until she has that million miles. As for my daughter, well we just bought a nice used S320 sedan for her.

2016 Italian Grand Prix race recap

Mon, Sep 5 2016

The Italian Grand Prix at Monza is called the Temple of Power. Furthermore, the winning driver in Italy started on pole in 13 of the last 16 years, and only one driver in that time has won the Italian GP from behind the front row of the grid: Rubens Barrichello in 2002 and 2009. By this point in the current Formula 1 season (era?) we know what it means when a track emphasizes both power and pole position: Mercedes-AMG Petronas. The Silver Arrows locked out the front row with Lewis Hamilton on pole. A poor start prevented the Briton from capitalizing on the advantage, so teammate Nico Rosberg and four other drivers swept by him before the end of the second turn. Mercedes would later say a clutch issue caused Hamilton's botched start, but that didn't help the man who'd just fallen to sixth place. Rosberg got about two laps of television coverage on his way to an unbothered victory ahead of Hamilton. Ferrari made Hamilton's second-place finish easier by sticking to a two-stop strategy; both Mercedes drivers pitted once. We aren't sure why Ferrari didn't at least attempt a one-stopper once Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen had been gifted second and third on track. A pit stop took about 23 seconds from entry to exit and Vettel finished third, six seconds behind Hamilton. Raikkonen finished fourth, another seven seconds behind Vettel. Perhaps the Scuderia's tire usage wouldn't allow longer stints, but we'll never know. Daniel Ricciardo wielded his Red Bull like a scalpel to make an impeccable pass on Valtteri Bottas in the Williams and take fifth place. Ricciardo, trailing another Italian province behind, somehow closed the gap on Bottas in just the braking zone of Turn 1, pulling alongside near the apex without locking a wheel on entry nor running wide on exit. Bottas claimed sixth ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez in the Force India, Felipe Massa in the second Williams, and Nico Hulkenberg in the second Force India sealing the top ten. Monza did spring a few on-track surprises. Esteban Gutierrez drove Haas F1 into Q3 for the first time this season, the Mexican setting the sixth-best time in Q2. Manor Racing planned for Monza all season, Pascal Wehrlein repaying the effort by qualifying 13th. Fernando Alonso pitted his McLaren on Lap 50 of the 53-lap race for a set of super soft Pirellis, then set the fastest lap. It's Honda's first fastest lap since 1992. The biggest moments happened off the track.

The Mansory Speranza proves that money can buy taste and good sense...

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

...Just kidding.
No one in their right mind has ever accused German tuners Mansory of being subtle. So, when our Geneva team wandered across the Mansory Speranza - A Mercedes-Benz Gelandewagen that has been denuded of its roof and spackled inside with quilted leather and red carbon fiber - they didn't ask a lot of existential questions. Why does the Speranza exist? Because Germans are weird sometimes, that's why.
Forget for a moment that you'll have to pay Mansory hundreds of thousands of euros (we're guessing, no pricing information has been revealed) for the privilege of converting your G-Class into something that looks like a Suzuki Samurai, and prepare to be impressed by the details. The tuning house has increased the output of the Mercedes V8 to a healthy 700 horsepower and 668 pound-feet of torque. The wheels are 24-inches, and wear almost unbelievable 305-section ultra-high performance Vresdestein tires. Carbon fiber can be found nearly everywhere one looks, including making up the housing for the spare tire. Oh, and there are leather pillows for the backseats... no word on whether they're standard or optional, but we're looking in to it.
