1986 Mercedes-Benz 190D - 5-Speed Manual! This is the one you have been waiting for!
Well, here it is. Here is the one you have been waiting,
and hoping for! You knew somewhere, someplace there was a
190D Diesel sitting in someone's garage that is still in
impeccable condition and still being maintained to the high
standard that Mercedes-Benz set for this car in 1986. Of course
as the days, weeks, months and possibly years go by and your
search turns up absolutely nothing. You begin to wonder if
any such car exists, or have all the old classic Mercedes-Benz
Diesels been driven and worn out? The answer is no, not
all of them. We managed to locate a survivor. An
unmolested, non-smoker, wonderfully maintained, bona-fied
example of a 1986 Mercedes-Benz 190D Diesels that appears to
have not been fazed by the 28 years that has gone by since this
car rolled off the showroom floor. This Mercedes-Benz 190D has proven itself an instant classic,
and you'll enjoy pulling up and making an impression with this
car. I personally have never seen a car with a personality
that even comes close to this car's. Every time I have parked
this car I have found myself doing one thing over and over
again. Once I've walked about 20 or 30 feet I'll turn
around and take a second look at the car and marvel at how
beautiful it is. Then I remember that the car is
mine! It's a great feeling to have over and over again,
and with this car you can have that! This car proclaims
status and class anywhere it is driven. There aren't
many 28 year old cars that you can still drive around this day
and still make an impression. This car has a timeless body
style which will always have the place in many people's heart no
matter where automotive design decides to go in the future. Here is a very rare chance go get a highly desired and very
hard to find example of one of the best cars Mercedes-Benz ever
made! Up for auction is a 1986 Mercedes-Benz 190D Diesel!
This 2.5 liter Inline-5 cylinder diesel engine is regarded by
most Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts as the best diesel engine ever
placed in a Mercedes! You'll really fall in love with this
2.5 liter diesel engine! The mileage on the ad was
not a misprint. This car really has 145,935 actual miles
on it. We have checked around and under the car and have
found absolutely no rust! Not to mention this car is a
diesel! Now if that wasn't an accomplishment in itself,
this car still runs like new! I kid you not. The
car's owner had a great standard in caring for the car which has
kept it running and looking very nicely! This car still
handles like new. The car is incredibly great. The
owner of this car treated this car with the level of care that I
have never seen before. This car is at its infancy.
Mercedes-Benz diesels have earned a reputation for being some of
the most reliable engines ever produced. They're EXPECTED
to go 500,000 miles without any major work meaning if you make
an effort to keep the car well maintained they can last even
longer! You've probably noticed that when you look
at the older Mercedes-Benz models you seldomly see the gas
engine cars still on the road from the 70s and 80s. For
the most part, they're diesels! That should tell you
something. Of course the car's condition agrees with that
as it's far too nice to have been passed around between
owners. The car has never, ever been smoked in! The car has what most people consider to be the best color
combination ever offered on one of these cars, White on the
outside with Beige leather on the inside. The color combination
is incredible, and really makes this car look elegant! The
exterior finish on this garage-kept car is in very good shape
and shines well. The paint and body look fantastic with
very few flaws to be found, even under close
inspection. The car's body is straight. The
car appears to have never been in an accident. The body
lines are straight and true. You'll really be impressed
with it! The front lights are in good shape, and the
headlight surrounds, and grille are clean and virtually as new.
You'll really be impressed by how nice everything looks on the
outside and especially the inside. It's like stepping back
into time. This really is the opportunity of a lifetime! What will really impress you is the condition of the car's
interior. You'll be amazed by how nice it is! It
really is impeccable inside! The seats are still in
fantastic condition. Just look at the pictures! The
front and rear seats look like they've hardly been used much
less been around for 28 years! The car's interior is
everything you'd expect for such a low mileage, well preserved
car! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
You'll be absolutely impressed by the car's interior
condition. You have plenty of room in the back for the
entire family. The trunk has plenty of room for whatever
you'd like to place back there with a full sized spare in the
back. All the car's features are standard. It came
with everything! The power windows, power locks, and power
mirror works just fine. The power sunroof still works
great. It opens and closes quickly! You won't be
using the power windows much thanks to the car's cold a/c!
The heat is also working great! The stereo system
works great and provides great sound. There are no blown
speakers! Of course the car's never ever been smoked
in! The instrument cluster works just as it should, none
of the warning lights remain illuminated on the car. You'll
really be impressed with the inside of this car! If the looks of the car didn't already impress you, then
getting behind the wheel and driving the car will take your
breath away! This is where you really see how well this
car has really been kept! After driving this car it seems
silly to spend big money on a newer one when you can get a
quality pre-owned Mercedes that has plenty of character and a
highly desired, much more reliable diesel engine for so much
less! The glow plugs heat right up, and the diesel fires
right to life with a smooth and friendly clatter. The engine
accessories turn quietly and work well, with the AC compressor
keeping the inside very cool and the alternator keeping the
battery well charged. The undercarriage of the car is very
clean. Under the hood is very clean. The steering is
tight, smooth and easy. The suspension feels to be in good
shape. Keeping you snug on the road is a very good set of
tires! They are matched to a beautiful set of the original
Mercedes-Benz alloy wheels which still look great! You
won't have to worry about tires for quite some time with this
car! The car provides more comfort than most modern new
cars could ever hope to provide! It handles very
well. You can tell that this car was maintained to the
highest standard and has received only the best care and the
most careful driving since it was new. The car simply
would not run and handle this well at 28 years old if this
wasn't the case! Simply incredible! The 2.5 Liter
5-Cylinder Diesel engine, while very comfortable and smooth has
the ability to get up and go whenever you need it to!
You'll be very pleased to know that even while getting
incredible gas mileage the car can get up and go when it needs
to! The 5-speed manual transmission still shifts just as
it should. The clutch feels great! When you need to
get this car stopped, the brakes will do it just as they are
supposed to do, stopping the car evenly and effectively. If you are looking for a safe, strong and very clean W201
diesel sedan with most of the life left in it, this would be an
excellent choice. Diesels get excellent fuel economy while
delivering smooth power and legendary engine life. This one
feels solid, quiet and tight at highway speeds as a Mercedes
should, and is a joy to drive around town. If kept on a proper
schedule of regular maintenance, this car will deliver another
300,000 miles or more without requiring anything more than
routine service. With all that said you might ask, "well, how much?". We
honestly don't know what to ask for this car because there
really isn't anything quite like this on the market so we can't
price the car accordingly. So we put the car up for
auction and we'll let you decide how much you'd like to buy this
beautiful Mercedes-Benz 1986 190D Diesel for! Bid to

Fastest cars in the world by top speed, 0-60 and quarter mile
Tue, Feb 13 2024A claim for the title of “Fastest Car in the World” might seem easy to settle. ItÂ’s actually anything but: Are we talking production cars, race cars or customized monsters? And what does “fastest” even mean? For years, car publications have tended to define “fastest” in terms of an unbeatable top speed. ThatÂ’s distinct from the “quickest” car in a Usain Bolt-style dash from the starting blocks, as with the familiar 0-60 mph metric. Professionals often focus on track lap times or elapsed time-to-distance, as with a drag racer thatÂ’s first to trip the beam of light at the end of a quarter-mile; or the 1,000-foot trip of nitromethane-powered NHRA Top Fuel and Funny Car dragsters. Something tells us, however, that you're not seeking out an answer of "Brittany Force rewriting the NHRA record books with a 3.659-second pass at a boggling 338.17 mph." For most barroom speed arguments, the focus is firmly on cars you can buy in showrooms, even if many are beyond the financial means of all but the wealthiest buyers and collectors. Here are some of the enduring sources of speed claims, counter-claims, tall tales and taunting dismissals that are the lifeblood of car enthusiasts – now with EVs adding an unexpected twist to these passionate pursuits.  Fastest from the blocks: 0-60 mph Thirty years ago, any car that could clock 60 mph in five seconds or less was considered extremely quick. Today, high-performance, gasoline-powered sedans and SUVs are routinely breaking below 4 seconds. As of today, the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 crushes all with a 0-60 mph time of just 1.66 seconds. That's simply absurd, but keep in mind the Demon was engineered with the single-minded purpose of going fast in a straight line. It's also important to realize that direct comparisons are difficult, because not all of these times were accomplished with similar conditions (prepped surfaces, adjustments for elevation and so on). The moral here is to take these times with a tiny grain of salt. After the Dodge, the Rimac Nevera comes in with an officially recorded 0-60 mph time of just 1.74 seconds. EVs crowd the quickest list, with the Pininfarina Battista coming in a few hundredths slower (1.79 seconds) than the Nevera and the Lucid Air sapphire (1.89 seconds) right after that. Eventually, you arrive to the Tesla Model S Plaid, which has a claimed 1.99-second 0-60 mph time, though instrumented testing by Car and Driver shows it accomplishes the deed in 2.1 seconds.
The mood at this year’s Paris Motor Show: Quiet
Tue, Oct 2 2018The Paris Motor Show, held every other year in the early fall, typically kicks off the annual cavalcade of automotive conclaves, one that traverses the globe between autumn and spring, introducing projective, conceptual and production-ready vehicle models to the international automotive press, automotive aficionados and a public hungry for news of our increasingly futuristic mobility enterprise. But this year, at the press preview days for the show, the grounds of the Porte de Versailles convention center felt a bit more sparsely populated than usual. This was not simply a subjective sensation, or one influenced by the center's atypically dispersed assemblage of seven discrete buildings, which tends to spread out the cars and the crowds. There were not only fewer new vehicles being premiered in Paris this year, there were fewer manufacturers there to display them. Major mainstream European OEM stalwarts such as Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Nissan and Volkswagen chose to sit out Paris this year, as did boutique manufacturers like Bentley, Aston Martin and Lamborghini. This is not simply based in some antipathy on the part of the German, British and Italian manufacturers toward the French market — though for a variety of historical and societal reasons that market may be more dominated by vehicles produced domestically than others. Rather, it is part of a larger trend in the industry. Last year, Mercedes-Benz announced that it would not be participating in the flagship North American International Auto Show in 2019 — and that it might not return. Other brands including Jaguar/Land Rover, Audi, Porsche, Mazda and nearly every exotic carmaker have also departed the Detroit show. Some of these brands will still appear in the city in which the show is taking place, and host an event offsite, to capitalize on the presence of a large number of reporters in attendance. And even brands that do have a presence at the show have shifted their vehicle introductions to the days before the official press opening in an attempt to stand out from the crowd. In many ways, this makes sense. With an expanding number of automakers, with diversification and niche-ification of models and with wholesale shifts that necessitate the introduction of EV or autonomous sub-brands, there is a growing sense that, with everyone shouting at the same time, no one can be heard.
Regulators consider adding more carmakers to Takata recall
Tue, Sep 29 2015Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has been getting a lot of press recently, but the Takata airbag inflator affair could be grabbing headlines again soon. According to Bloomberg, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is contemplating an expansion to the campaign that could add seven automakers to the 12 already affected. They are Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Spartan Motors, Suzuki, Tesla, Volvo Trucks, and VW Group. To be clear, there's no recall for any of these automakers, yet. The government is simply asking for a full list of vehicles that each of them have with Takata-supplied inflators containing ammonium nitrate propellant. The agency is concerned this substance could play a roll in the ruptures. "NHTSA is considering not only whether to issue an administrative order that would coordinate the remedy programs associated with the current Takata recalls, but also whether such an order should include expansion of the current recalls," the letters say. All seven can be viewed, here. From a report supplied by Takata, the government already knows that the company supplied 887,055 inflators with ammonium-nitrate propellant to VW and 184,926 of them to Tesla. In an incident during the summer, a side airbag allegedly burst in a 2015 VW Tiguan. In early September, NHTSA put out a revised report that there were 23.4 million inflators to be replaced in 19.2 million vehicles in the US. An earlier accounting from the agency had about 34 million of the parts in 30 million cars. High humidity is still believed to be among the biggest risk factors for the ruptures. Although, if ammonium nitrate also gets the blame, some already recalled models might need to be repaired again. Related Video:
