This is the one, what a dream boat!  Beautiful and fast Mercedes 190e 2.3-16.  16 valve Mercedes Cosworth from 1986.  I am the 3rd owner, have owned it for the past 12 years and it has only 55k original miles.  I bought it from the 2nd owner in 2002 and drove it more often when I first bought it but now only drive it once a month on nice days.  No winters, only the occasional sunny day.  Garage kept.  It was a third car so I just enjoyed it here and there.  It's fast and runs like a top!  

A little history about this car:  It's a 1986 and was imported brand new to the US in December of 1985.  My paperwork from the DOT says it arrived in the US on 12/28/85. I bought it from the 2nd owner.  It was the wife's car, she was a stay at home mom, and didn't use it much.  When I bought it, she had a baby's car seat in the back!  It is European with the faster engine and it shows.  It has more horsepower and it's a blast to drive.  I have a ton of paperwork with it.  Service records from the past 15 years for tune-ups, etc for around $6,000.  A lot of service was done at Mercedes of White Plains in NY. 

Condition: Great!  I'd say it is an 8 out of 10.  It's fast and runs like a top. It has a 5 speed transmission, the dogleg transmission.  The exterior is probably an 8.  It's all original paint, etc., but it has a couple chips and a couple scratches.  There is no rust and the car is extremely good but not perfect. There are some buff swirls on the rear spoiler.  The very bottom part of the side skirts have a couple spots where the black is worn off.  That's about it.  The wheels are mint, the spare wheel is mint.  They are the original factory wide wheels.  The tires only have a couple thousand miles and the spare tire has never been used.  The interior is also about an 8.  It is excellent but not perfect.  The leather seats are extremely good but there are a couple of tiny wear spots, no rips or anything.  One of the rear seat belt buckles is broken but works fine.  The window molding on the back two doors are coming up a little.  The display isn't working on the stop watch in the dash.  That's about it.  The rest is just about in excellent condition.  I believe the A/C needs a freon charge.   The radio and rear speakers were updated in the early 2000s but I have the original beckers radio if you want it.  I forgot to picture it.  All gauges work great.  Dash is nice.  It has an AMG steering wheel which  was on it when it was imported to the US.  It has the original manuals and tools.  No leaks.

I bought the car because it was in excellent shape with very few miles.  I did a carfax when I purchased it in 2002 and I still have it.  It's clean with no issues.  I can provide a copy if you email me.  The car is extremely nice.  I have the NY state title.  I'm not a mechanic so I don't know all the technical stuff but please email me with questions and I'll try to answer them as best as I can.  This is a beauty!!!  And there is no reserve so the highest bid wins!  The car is located in Amherst, NH.  Feel free to email if you want to see it/test drive it.

Again, please email me with any questions.  I'll try to answer them as best I can and can take more pictures upon request.  Thank!  I've never had it professionally waxed or detailed.  I'm sure it would look fantastic if it was.   


The vin is WDB2010341F175434.  I posted pictures of the clean carfax.  I also have a copy of the carfax from 2002.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class spied once again

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

As evidenced by how little camouflage the next-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been caught wearing lately, it can't be too much longer until the car will get its official debut. In our newest shots of the yacht-sized luxo sedan, the cladding still covers up the headlights, front fascia and most of the rear end, but we finally have an almost undisguised look at the rest of the car's lines.
Considering previous spy shots had more camo that better (or fully) concealed the S-Class' body, some of the more obvious things we see in these images include the prominent grille, the CLS-Class-inspired bodyside creases, the pointed trunk opening and, most interestingly, a lack of fancy exhaust outlets. Unlike other S-Class prototypes we've seen, this car does not have integrated outlets, but it does have two pipes on the left side of the car. All current S-Class models in the US and Europe feature a dual exhaust layout on each side of the car, so while some of our questions about the car get answered, it would appear that more are just arising.

The hottest modern sports cars rendered as rally racers

Thu, Jan 14 2016

The modern-day World Rally Championship a monumental amount of fun to watch – I should know, as I recently was lucky enough to head to the UK to watch WRC Wales Rally GB – but even the most monstrous of the current WRC cars are based on fairly pedestrian European hatchbacks. Back in the heyday of rally, the Group B era in the 1980s, much hotter cars were the basis of even more incredible competition machines, for the most part. Take the exotic Ford RS200, or the Lancia Delta S4 with its twin-charged engine. And the hatchback-based Group B cars were bonkers, too. So what would some of our favorite modern cars look like if Group B had never ended? A British site named CarWow hired an artist to reimagine everything from the Rolls-Royce Wraith to the Porsche 911 as a retro-inspired rally car, and they were kind enough to let us share the results in the gallery above. The gallery features an Alfa Romeo Giulia in Martini livery, an Audi TT in classic Ur-Quattro colors, a Fiat 500 Abarth sporting massive flares and a hood blister full of auxiliary lights, a new Ford Mustang in RS200 livery, a Lancia Delta in Alitalia colors, a Porsche 911 in Rothmans livery, a Renault-Alpine in classic blue, a Rolls-Royce Wraith tribute to the Jules cologne Corniche Coupe, and a relatively modern-looking VW Touran. So far, the favorite around the office is the incredible Mercedes-Benz S-Class that is an homage to the wonderful 300 SEL 6.8 AMG "Red Pig" that essentially put AMG on the map. Check out the gallery above and see which one you like the best. Related Video:

Weekly Recap: Toyota propels hydrogen fuel cells

Sat, Jan 10 2015

Toyota is serious about hydrogen fuel cells, and it wants the auto industry to follow suit. The Japanese automaker said this week it's releasing 5,680 fuel cell patents from around the world, including technologies used on its upcoming sedan, the 2016 Mirai. The move is unusual, but not unprecedented, as Tesla similarly released its electric vehicle patents last year. The idea for Tesla, and now for Toyota, is to spur development of alternative propulsion. "By eliminating traditional corporate boundaries, we can speed the development of new technologies and move into the future of mobility more quickly, effectively and economically," said Bob Carter, Toyota Motor Sales senior vice president of automotive operations, in a statement. Toyota's fuel cell patents will be free to use through 2020, though patents related to producing and selling hydrogen will remain open forever. Toyota said it would like companies that use its patents to share their own hydrogen patents, but won't require it. "What Toyota's doing is really a logical move, and really a good move for the industry," Devin Lindsay, principal powertrain analyst with IHS Automotive, told Autoblog. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It comes as Toyota prepares to launch the hydrogen-powered Mirai in a limited number late this year in California. The launch will be extended to the Northeastern United States next year. Toyota also has announced plans to support networks of fueling stations in each region to try to smooth consumer adoption. The Mirai has a 300-mile range on a tank of hydrogen, and it takes about five minutes to refill. Fuel cells have been receiving increased attention recently, and Audi and Volkswagen debuted hydrogen-powered cars at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Honda, another proponent of the technology, also showed its updated FCV concept in November in Japan. The company, however, has delayed its fuel cell sedan a year until 2016. Like Toyota, Honda says its hydrogen-powered car will have a range of 300 miles or more. Meanwhile, Hyundai currently offers leases for fuel-cell powered Tucsons, which have a 265-mile range, in Southern California. Despite the optimism some automakers have for fuel cells, the technology still faces barriers. A lack of filling stations has long held it back, and many consumers are not familiar with the potential benefits.
