Low miles with solid, clean body and interior, best of the three 190E's I have owned. Daily driver until last month when vehicle suddenly stopped in traffic; restarted after waiting a couple minutes. Happened twice more in the next 30 miles, then no problems for over 100 miles, so thought it was just bad fuel or a clogged fuel filter, but then happened again. MB Westmont says it needs a fuel distributor (also as a separate issue the SRS light is on).

Hard to let this one go after investing several thousand dollars in the last year replacing brakes, steering bushings, A arms, springs front and rear, but my loss will be your gain. (My first 190E had well over 200,000 miles before an accident ended it, so I can attest these models are durable.)

As photos show car is in very good to excellent condition; like new interior and just a few blemishes on the doors from parking lot dings but you have to get close to see these. Power seats, power sun roof work. Radio works but as is common with the 190E's the power antennae is frozen. Doors, glass, seats, carpeting, interior trim look great. Started and driven every day in our Chiberia winter (-15 degrees). Averaged 22 mpg in daily commute. Tires are Hankook Mileage Plus II and have at least 12,000 to 15,000 miles left. Full size spare in trunk. Original manuals and even the First Aid kit in the rear deck compartment.

So, your choice, buy it to fix it up or as a donor for your 190E or hate to say it, part it out.

Sold as is, where is, with above known issues. Would plan on bringing a car hauler because the fuel system gives no warning before the car stops. If you are in the area, stop by to take it for a drive around the condominium parking lot right next door. I can answer questions about the last three years, but the previous owner obviously maintained the car like a prized possession and drove it very little.

Jay Leno drives the incredible Mercedes-Benz C111-II concept

Tue, Oct 20 2015

You might think that Jay Leno has driven it all, but there are a few vehicles so rare that getting behind the wheel is a special experience, even for him. This week on Jay Leno's Garage, the comedian has one of those unique experiences by taking a ride in a 1970 Mercedes-Benz C111-II concept on loan from the Mercedes Classics Center. First unveiled in 1969, the C111 concept featured an in-vogue wedge shape, gullwing doors, and a mid-mounted three-rotor engine, and it seemed like the supercar of the future. This C111-II went even further in 1970 with tweaked styling and a four-rotor powerplant behind the driver. A V8 eventually replaced the experimental mill, but that switch is also part of the reason this one is still on the road today. Leno gets the full history about Mercedes' original plans for the C111 project, but obviously the real highlight is the rare drive in this vintage concept. He clearly relishes the experience of finally getting behind the wheel of this piece of auto history, one of the few automotive dreams he hadn't yet fulfilled.

2016 Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG Sport is not too hot, not too cold

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Mercedes-Benz is moving to a new system for performance models, launching its AMG Sport line that will slot above the standard cars, but below the full-fledged Mercedes-AMG offerings. The perfect example of how this all looks can be seen with the C-Class – we've already driven (and enjoyed) the standard C300 and C400 offerings, and we're absolutely geeked to test the Mercedes-AMG C63. Slotting in the middle, though, is this new C450 AMG Sport, which makes its debut at the Detroit Auto Show this week. Power comes from the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 found in the C400, but output is increased to 362 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque Â– up from 329 and 354, respectively. That's all shuffled through the company's 7G-Tronic seven-speed automatic transmission, and sent to the road via 4Matic all-wheel drive. Hitting 60 miles per hour is said to take just 4.9 seconds, en route to a 155-mph top end. There's an AMG adaptive sport suspension with adjustable dampers (from the C63), and the interior and exterior aesthetics have been pumped up for a more sporting appearance. It all seems like a good fit, and we think it'll slot nicely in the middle of the already good C-Class range. Check out our fresh batch of lives images of the C450 above.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid for fat cats frugal with fuel

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

Judging by how long we waited to get a clear shot of the Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid, you'd have thought hybrid cars were only driven by Terminators and that the technology arrived only 48 hours ago through a wormhole in the Mercedes stand. The newest member of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class hybrid band - joining the S400 Hybrid and S350 BlueTEC Hybrid, it hits notes like a 5.5-second sprint from standstill to 62 miles per hour, up to 19 miles of ion-powered running and uses three liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers in Europe (78.41 mpg US, but our mpg test cycle is different than their mpg test cycle).
The lump up front is a turbocharged, 3.0-liter V6, the lump in back - note the reduction in trunk space - is a pack of lithium-ion batteries that juice an 80-kilowatt electric motor. Other than having four drive options for controlling electric drive and battery usage, it's all S-Class all the time, with leather-covered everything and those mountainous thrones that bring to mind words like "Archduke" and "Papal."
You'll find our hard-earned gallery from the Frankfurt Motor Show floor above, and more words of information in the press release below.
