For Sale is my low mileage 1985 Mercedes 190D. This vehicle is being sold at a price that INCLUDES FREE DELIVERY TO THE CONTIGUOUS 48 STATES! Depending on the location I may drive it myself. I obviously do not have any concerns with this cars reliability or ability to make it anywhere in the country. With that said, I will still try to describe the vehicle to the fullest extent. I always welcome questions and I most likely have more pictures than are shown on eBay. All I need is a request of what you are looking for and I will email you what I have.

So.... this 190D has the original motor in the car. It also contains the factory 5speed manual transmission. This car is set up to be a highway warrior. With the 4 cylinder diesel and manual transmission I have taken numerous trips to Las Vegas, which is 270 miles round trip on 6.5 gallons of diesel. This was not a one time occurrence. This was a regular trip where the cruise was set at 75-80 mph and I achieved 42 mpg. The mileage would drop a little when the A/C was turned on, but the mileage was still in the High 30's and occasionally the low 40's. I bought this car from a Las Vegas owner, who owned it as a secondary car. He drove it occasionally, which probably led to the miles remaining low. He had to sell it due to some family issues, and I just happen to be in the market for a similar car. But now times have changed and I need to sell it. I chose to list it on eBay because of the great exposure eBay offers. I feel that this car needs to appeal to as many people as possible, this is the reason that I am listing this car on eBay.

When I received the car it had some issues that I quickly restored. A few of the issues included; A radiator that was glued together; a thermostat that had been taken out to help cool the car ( old American car thinking); The car had to be stalled to shut it off; A/C did not work. The car started right up when I went to look at it and appeared to shift and run decent, so I purchased the car knowing the issues that needed attention. I put the car on a car trailer and towed it back to St. George. I did not trust the Jerry-rigged radiator to make it 135 miles to home.

So quickly I invested some money into the car. I bought a Nissen radiator, a new thermostat and installed a new serpentine belt. Once I got those issues resolved I had the car inspected and put on the road. That was nearly 4 years ago. I have put on roughly 20,000 miles in the last 4 years, another reason the miles have remained low on this car.

When the summer time hit I knew I needed the A/C fixed. Expecting the worst I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the A/C was not a huge issue. I drew a vacuum on the system and checked for leaks. I had none. The guys that had previously done the A/C retrofit must have done their job completely. The A/C has been retrofitted to R134 refrigerant. Once I sucked it down and noticed no leaks I replaced the Desiccant dryer and the expansion valve. I then pulled a secondary vacuum on the system and check again for leaks. Once it showed no signs of leaks I recharged the A/C with 134 refrigerant. The system is COLD. I have had friends riding around with me in astonishment at how cold it was and they drove a newer Honda Accord, so I felt they were comparing the two and giving this 1985 a high praise.

About 10,000 miles ago I did a few priority maintenance items. I addressed the Non-engine stopping issue and the clutch pilot bearing issue. As I stated before the car did not shut off when I bought the car. A few other items did not work that were Vacuum related. If you don't know, Vacuum is the life line of these vehicles. One of the biggies was the power brake booster. So I traced the problem back to the actual Vacuum pump mounted on the front of the engine. I bit the bullet and bought a brand new German pump. I then went about installing it. Once I did it was as if the car had been woken up. The brake booster now worked, the car shut off when the key was turned to the off position ( always a bonus),and the HVAC controls worked.
Additionally the transmission has worked wonderfully. Since I have owned it I have had to learn to remember to pause a split second when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. Other than that there are no issues with the transmission since I replaced the throwout bearing. Due to the age of the vehicle the throwout bearing started to squeal a little. I knew that the whole transmission had to come out of the car to replace the throwout bearing, so I opted to spend the money and replace the clutch disc as well. I replaced the throwout bearing, the clutch disc and the pressure plate and resurfaced the flywheel. While I had the transmission out of the car I changed the fluid using AMS OIL synthetic transmission fluid as Mercedes calls for. This did help slightly with the 2nd synchro gear, but I would still say there is a slight pause needed.

Within the last 2000 miles I have replaced the brake master cylinder. I have replaced all of the brake pads ( 4 wheel disc brakes) and the internal parking brake pads were adjusted at the same time. Yes the parking brake works!

Randomly I have replaced or fixed the following;

Replaced the Windshield washer pump
The engine oil and filter have been changed at regular intervals with AMS OIL synthetic oil. The air filter has been changed too.
I changed out the rear differential oil with AMS OIL
A front wheel bearing started to make some noise so I replaced it and repacked the other side.
Replaced the front struts with KYB
Put 2 newer tires on the rear. All 4 will DEFINITELY pass any states safety inspection
I did install a new antenna mast, but something ,must have not been done correctly. I run XM radio all the time and I have never needed the Antenna mast to be working. The radio does operate and all 4 speakers operate.
Valve cover gasket
PCV breathing grommet that goes through the head has been replaced. It still weeps a little.
All of the PCV rubber connecting boots
Injectors. I used the Monarch brand as they are the ONLY brand still made in Germany.
I had to replace a factory steel fuel line from the injection pump to the injector.
New glow plugs
New glow plug relay
Took the windshield wiper motor assembly apart and lubed it
Replaced the drivers front door window regulator
Replaced the Windshield
Replaced a headlight
Replaced a taillight. The previous one was cracked and sun damaged
Replaced the rear muffler. The original finally had rotted out.
Replaced the Driver door lock cylinder. It did not work when I bought it so I ordered a new one from Mercedes and got a factory cut key.
Replaced the Driver seat bottom spring frame. It had began to sag and the spring was broken. I found a NOS Mercedes seat bottom frame.

The car still needs:

Paint work. The pictures should show the effects of nearly 30 years of South Western sun taking it's toll on the Hood, Roof and Deck lid. The tops of the doors and the fenders have also been effected some what.

The dash will need to be repaired or replaced to bring it back to pristine condition. It does have a couple of cracks in the dash but, a previous owner bought a dash cover and I have been satisfied with it. It is faded though.

The passenger rear door window works occasionally. It must be something with a ground or loose wire.

The driver seat left side bolster is cracked. It could be replaced.

Other than that there are probably a few other minor issues, but none that I can think to mention.

Currently the car is indoor storage at a shop. I do need to get it out sooner rather than later.

The 10 car brands most expensive to maintain over 10 years

Mon, Apr 22 2024

Car maintenance has got to be one of the least fun things you can do with your free time, right behind going to the dentist and filing your taxes. However, depending on the brand you buy, your time spent at the shop could be much more than you bargained for. Consumer Reports’ new study on the most- and least-expensive-to-maintain car brands found that European car companies are most likely to break your wallet with costs nearly five times that of the automakers at the other end of the spectrum. Land Rover had the highest ten-year maintenance costs, at an average of $19,250. Porsche was second worst with $14,090 in costs. 10 car brands most expensive to maintain over 10 years: Land Rover: $19,250 Porsche: $14,090 Mercedes-Benz: $10,525 Audi: $9,890 BMW: $9,500 Volvo: $9,285 Infiniti: $8,500 Acura: $7,800 Mini: $7,625 Subaru: $7,200 The Euro brands at the Â“topÂ” of this list arenÂ’t all that surprising. Land Rover has consistently landed as one of the most expensive vehicle brands to maintain for years now, though Porsche is generally viewed as being one of the more solid performance brands. That could suggest that some models donÂ’t always require more repairs, but the fixes they do need are significantly more expensive. Tesla, Buick, and Toyota were the three cheapest to maintain car brands, with 10-year maintenance costs of $4,035, $4,900, and $4,900, respectively. Consumer Reports noted that these numbers could be slightly skewed due to the fact that some automakers offer free maintenance for the first few years of ownership, and all companies cover their new vehicles for at least a few years after the purchase. Routine maintenance is a great way to avoid costly repairs over time, as itÂ’s much cheaper to catch a problem before it starts causing other issues. Check your oil, rotate your tires, and avoid driving like a wild person, and youÂ’ll likely fare much better than others, even if you own one of the scarier-to-maintain brands.

Weekly Recap: Takeaways from the Frankfurt Motor Show

Sat, Sep 19 2015

We obsessively covered the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show, and naturally, we selected our favorites from this fall's biggest automotive event. Now that the dust has settled, we're looking ahead to what it all means. Here are three takeaways from the floor in Frankfurt. The Germans are serious about electric vehicles: It's a bit cliche to say BMW, Mercedes, and Audi have downplayed electrics in favor of other technologies, like diesels. For a time that may have been true, but those three companies, along with Porsche and Volkswagen, are emerging as leaders in EV development. That was on display in Frankfurt, when all of them revealed either all-electric or plug-in hybrid models. Gas prices are relatively low in the United States, but clearly the Germans are thinking long-term and globally. Everyone is serious about SUVs: You gotta have one, even if you're Bentley or Jaguar. It's 2015 and it's what consumers want. As Jaguar design director Ian Callum put it, "Not to be in the sector would be a little naive for the sake of purity." It's not just the flashy exotic luxury makers. Nissan showed the Gripz concept, which is rakish, radical, and meant to blend traits of SUVs and sports cars into a vehicle that really crosses over. Look for more, especially in the luxury sector, as Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, and Aston Martin ramp up their own SUV efforts. There's no ceiling to the luxury market: Speaking of high-end cars, companies are continuing to invest in extravagant wares beyond just SUVs. Even during the recession, ultra-luxury makers remained relevant, and now they're back at full stride. In Frankfurt, that was illustrated by yet another S-Class model, the cabriolet, which will come in S550 and S63 AMG variants in the United States. Ferrari also showed off the 488 Spider, and Lamborghini opened up the Huracan LP 610-4 Spyder. Meanwhile, Bugatti's Vision Grand Turismo concept reminded enthusiasts that it's plotting life after the Veyron. European auto shows always draw the glitziest reveals from luxury makers, and this year didn't disappoint. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Honda Civic redesigned with snazzier style, turbo power The 10th-generation of the Honda Civic debuted this week at events in Los Angeles and Detroit ahead of its launch in the United States this fall as a 2016 model. Honda fortified the Civic with LED lights, an available turbo engine, and a more tech-laden cabin.

Brabus bringing 900-horsepower Mercedes S65 to Geneva

Mon, Mar 2 2015

The S-Class may be the ultimate Mercedes, but what's the ultimate S-Class? Is it the S550? Maybe in some markets, but that's just the starting point in North America. The S600? Getting closer. The Maybach? Sure, if the last word in luxury is what you're after. But if it's performance you crave, then you'll want an AMG version like the S63. But even that's not the flagship. No, in terms of outright power, it all comes down to the S65. It's got a 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 churning out 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, for crying out loud. But Brabus thinks it's still not enough. That's why (alongside the 850-hp S63 coupe) it's bringing a version it calls the Rocket 900 to the Geneva Motor Show this week. To turn the S65 AMG into the Rocket 900, Brabus has bored out the cylinders to total 6.3 liters and fitted larger turbochargers, a new exhaust system, intake module and much, much more. The result is an output increased to 887 bhp and 1,106 lb-ft of torque. Brabus has upgraded the limited slip differential to handle the extra muscle, helping it rocket to 62 in just 3.7 seconds, on to 124 in 9.1 and up to a top speed of 217 Autobahn-crunching miles per hour. The famed Benz tuner has also fitted a carbon-fiber aero kit to keep it from flying away (however unlikely considering the vehicle's approximately 5,000-lb curb weight), along with 21- or 22-inch wheels, a retuned air suspension that drops the ride height over half an inch closer to the road and – we can only hope since the release makes no such mention Â– upgraded brakes as well to keep it all in check. Brabus also offers a full range of interior enhancements as well, but don't expect any of this to come cheap. As it is, the S65 starts at $222,000, but a turn-key Brabus Rocket 900 goes for 347,719 euros Â– or about $390k at today's rates.
