To quote Wikipedia, "The 2.5 Turbo, while sold in mainland Europe, but not the UK for many years, was available to American buyers only in 1987 and is now somewhat of a collectors item."

This auction is for that very car, a 1987 190D 2.5 turbo. I'll start by saying that this might be the best car I'll ever own; I'm going to miss it but am hopeful it will go to an appreciative buyer. I drove the car from November 2007 until January 2013, in which time I put around 120,000 miles on it. While it is far from perfect, I'd say it might be in the best shape of any MB from that era that was driven in New England for over 25 winters.

Let's start with the Pros

engine, drivetrain in perfect working order; never any issues
the interior is nearly immaculate, carpet in great shape, no tears in upholstery, comes with custom fit honeycomb rubber floor mats
factory installed Recaro seats with horsehair padding (most comfortable seats I've ever sat in); no rips or tears in any of the upholstery
Sony CD player with 1/8" stereo AUX input jack (factory Becker cassette deck included)
modifications that i made to the center console include the addition of 3 power outlets and a storage bin above the CD player; all original parts are included and can easily be re-installed; i made no permanent changes to the car
all four paper speakers replaced with Audiobahn speakers; again, original speakers included
ALL electronics and vacuum operated accessories work perfectly; except AC (we'll get to that in the Cons)
all four shocks replaced in summer 2012, less than 1,000 miles on them
ball joints replaced in fall 2011
front springs replaced in summer 2012
all four rotors replaced in 2011 along with pads
new control arm bushings in 2012
all four factory alloy wheels included, plus the full size spare on matching alloy wheel (5 matching alloy wheels in total!)
like new snow tires included as well (car drove like a tank in the snow with these tires and some weight in the trunk)
summer tires are only a couple years old; i'm pretty sure they only saw one season
hardly any rust on exterior! like any car driven around here, rust is a problem and this car was no exception. i repaired quite a bit or rot around the jack points near each fender and repainted in factory Sato grey with textured undercoating. Doors had a bit of rust too but i did the same with that and repainted with factory Astral Silver paint
all original glass with the exception of the front passenger window; car was broken into in 2008
sun roof works perfectly
has front fog lights
has an interstate battery that i bought in 2011; should have plenty of life in it

now the Cons

perhaps the biggest Con: the AC does not work. Numerous components have been replaced, including the compressor, but it still does not work consistently. Most likely it would need to be brought to a dealership. I had been bringing this car to my personal mechanic who has worked solely on MB's for the past 30 years but is not the greatest when it comes to electrical
hood, rear passenger side door, and front driver side fender were replaced. the door was replaced because the car had been in an accident before i owned it and was poorly repaired with bondo. the hood and fender were replaced from a collision with a deer in 2010. the driver's side headlight assembly was also replaced at that time. THIS WAS THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE. All replacement parts were repainted with MB Astral Silver and clear coat
since some parts were repainted, the exterior doesn't match perfectly; i'd say it's nearly a 90 - 95% match. some days it's hardly noticeable. my guess is that this is because i only painted the replacement parts and not the rest of the car and the original paint on there is much older and has seen a lot more sun. if i was still driving the car, i would've repainted the whole thing
since i had been planning to repaint the whole car, i removed the black stripe decal that runs along each side; i do have a replacement roll which was made to factory specs that i never put on since i was hoping to repaint the car
vacuum system works perfectly as i mentioned above, however it has its quirks; i'd be happy to go into detail on this if you'd like to know; just ask

that about sums it up, if you have any questions on anything don't hesitate to ask. i'll truly miss this car but my fiance refused to ride in it another summer without AC.

good luck

2015 Mercedes-Benz S550 PHEV offers the best of both worlds it's ready to conquer

Thu, Nov 20 2014

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class just keeps growing – both in terms of dimensions and in terms of variants. Nevermind the S-Class Coupe for a moment and focus only on the sedan: in North America alone, you can get the big Benz in S550, S600, S63 and S65 spec, and at the Los Angeles Auto Show this year, Daimler has rolled out the new Maybach version as well. But if it's a more environmentally friendly way to woosh around town in serene luxury that you're after, you'll want to look at the new S550 Plug-In Hybrid. Joining Daimler's growing range of battery-powered models alongside the E400 Hybrid, B-Class Electric Drive and Smart ED (the latter soon to be replaced by an all-new version), the S550 PHEV is the German automaker's first plug-in hybrid. It was first announced over a year ago and made its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, but now the US-spec car is making its North American debut in LA. Promising "the performance of a V8 and the fuel consumption of a compact model," the S550 PHEV pairs a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 to an 80-kW electric motor, the S550 PHEV packs a combined 436 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque to reach 62 in just 5.2 seconds, top out at 130 miles per hour or drive up to 20 miles on electric mode alone. On the European combined cycle, it'll return an impressive 84 miles per gallon, all the while never skimping on the luxury. Scope it out in our gallery of photos from the show floor in LA and delve into the details in the press release below. First PLUG-IN HYBRID with a star: S550 PLUG-IN HYBRID The new Mercedes-Benz S550 PLUG-IN HYBRID blends an ultramodern hybrid drive configuration with the unique innovations and the luxurious equipment and appointments of the S-Class. The luxury sedan impresses with exceptional dynamism and efficiency. Thanks to standard pre-entry climate control it also offers unique climate comfort. The first certified three-liter luxury sedan in the world is a further milestone on the road to emission-free mobility. "The S550 PLUG-IN HYBRID is the first luxury sedan with the performance of a V8 and the fuel consumption of a compact model. The greatest challenge in this is to translate efficiency into superior performance. In this respect there is a highly interesting parallel with our successful Formula 1 racing car, which likewise has a turbocharged V6 engine and a high-tech hybrid drive," says Prof. Dr.

Watch this perfectly nice Mercedes get crushed by a front-end loader

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

In a world where the YouTube hoax continues to thrive, it's hard to know what to think of this little vid, but here are the facts as we know them: a coupe that looks like a first-generation Mercedes-Benz CLK gets crushed by a giant front-end loader. There you have it.
Our questions arise in the aftermath - we know industrial resource machinery is heavy, but the Benz gets squashed so flat we wonder if someone's trying to play a joke on us. We hear that the white coupe may have been the heavy-equipment operator's foreman's car, but who knows? The on-camera interview seems awfully conveniently placed, yes? See for yourself in the video below and then leave us your thoughts in Comments.
