Up for sale is my Mercedes 190D with the larger 2.5 diesel engine and 5 speed transmission. To me this is the finest combination of drivetrain options with the added speed, economy and control that the manual provides and the efficiency and durability of the legendary 5 cylinder diesel engine. For more about the 190 search kenrockwell 190D, he did a thorough writeup/ tribute to this awesome line of cars. This particular example has been well cared for as far as fluid changes and regular maintenance though it is in need of some things to bring it up to snuff. It has a clean interior but with the requisite dash cracks and drivers seat edge wear. Cut on drivers door arm rest and the seatback netting is removed. It comes with heated orthopedic air seats. The heated seat function works the air adjustable ortho seats worked fine until the trunk lock stopped working, taking out the central locking with it- so that should be addressed. The transmission is buttery smooth and works perfectly, some occasional clutch chatter when cold, then operates normally. I had this checked and the mechanic thought the clutch was fine. It has been showing this identical behavior for the 60k I have driven it. Engine runs out well and doesn't burn oil. Passenger side front spring perch needs to be replaced at some point soon. One headlight has a chip, replacement light included. Rust repair needed where the jack points are. Exhaust from manifold up to muffler section is a few seasons old and in good shape. Analog clock keeps perfect time without any drift. Trailer hitch and wiring loom with 1 7/8 ball. Tows nice. Fan blower motor and speed switch was just replaced as was the igniton lock, both common problems. Shocks are OEM Bilstein comfort and about 4 years old. Tires are matching Avid S33 LRR and have about 40% left or so. Heat works great, ac does not but is complete, probably needs a charge. Cruise control does not work but is complete. Stereo CD is a nice Clarion DB175MP with external jack for your ipod or whatever. 50w x4. One of the JBL speakers is crackly and may be blown. Sunroof stopped working 2 days ago! Arggh. I hear the switch motor clicking so it is getting power to it. Spring in drivers seat bottom is broken. Comes with Haynes service manual and the items pictured including 4 snows mounted on sepated mercedes rims. 2 of the snowtires are good with plenty of tread left two of them are worn. Door checks need service/replacement. Car drives well around town and has that solid Mercedes feel. On the highway it is a little floaty with a corkscrew type motion when you hit a bump. Still corners on rails coming off of the ramp. Paint has been touched up by me and is serviceable though I would recommend a respray. Clear title and service records on hand. Oil changed every 3000 with 15/40 rotella recently switched to 5/40 synthetic. This car does not leak fluids. I recently replaced the o rings on the fuel delivery pump as they were leaking. The front lower airdam is cracked and I duck taped over it and painted it as a temp fix. I was going to rivet a piece of plastic over the crack, or replace. The radiator support is rusted, another common but minor 190 ailment. The later photos show included parts such as- two bottles of diesel purge, red bottle is power service fuel conditioner(always used), front wheel bearing (bought two only one side needed replacing) tie rod and ball joint (shop wanted to use there own parts so ones installed are good) various filters, ortho seat switches, underbody panels, etc. These are all the issues/ features of the cars that I can come up with after inspecting it. I try to represent things I sell honestly, not only because it is the right way to be, but in the end it is easier for everyone. That being said, I may have missed something so please ask any and all questions. Thanks!

Mercedes-Benz introduces new heavy security M-Class Guard model
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Mercedes-Benz has unveiled a new addition to the company's line of personal security vehicles. The M-Class Guard features bullet-proof side windows made with special laminated glazing and a polycarbonate inner layer to protect occupants from shards of glass. Mercedes says the M-Class Guard meets protection level VR4 according to the Bullet Resistant Vehicles 2009 standards, based on testing from the independent Ulm-based Ballistics Bureau, which means it can withstand .357 Magnum and .44 fire from multiple angles. It can also stand up to the DM51 hand grenade when equipped with optional floor armoring. Why skimp?
Buyers looking for protection from the world's literal slings and arrows can opt for the ML350 BlueTEC with its 258 horsepower 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine. With 457 pound-feet of torque, the oil-burner should have no trouble hustling the privileged class about. Of course, the ML500 offers a bit more punch courtesy of a 4.6-liter twin-turbo V8 with 408 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. Prices start at 105,050 euros for the diesel and 118,650 euros for the V8. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
Next Mercedes-Benz GLK to get AMG variant? Not likely...
Fri, 15 Mar 2013If you think Mercedes-Benz will slap an AMG badge on anything with wheels, think again. Word has it the German manufacturer will not offer buyers a performance version of the GLK, with Tobias Moers, director of AMG vehicle development, saying that he doesn't see a market for the car. That's not to say the picture won't change in the near future, however. According to CarAdvice.com, AMG is keeping a close eye on the arrival of the Porsche Macan.
"Maybe there will be a change in the market when the Porsche [Macan] comes up," Moers said, "but right now, no."
The real hitch in the giddy-up seems to be cost. Moers says developing the machine into something worthy of an AMG would represent "a huge investment." We can't exactly argue with that. Fortunately, AMG buyers have plenty of Mercedes-Benz models to choose from.
Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?
Sun, Jul 9 2023The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric. Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands. If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) — unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla. Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor. Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have: Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners — those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port — will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 — eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.
