Mercedes 190e 2.3 Litre 16-valve Cosworth + Manual Getrag "dogleg" Transmission on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
I have for sale a 1986 Mercedes 190e 2.3 16v Cosworth plus an extra original Getrag Manual "Dogleg" Transmission . For those of you who
are looking at this ad, you know that this is a true Mercedes
collector's car. It was built for the race track and was beautifully
engineered to provide amazing driving performance. I purchased this car because of my fascination with the history of this vehicle and general love for Mercedes engineering. I have found it to be so much fun to drive even with having the automatic transmission. I had intended to swap in a manual transmission (notes below about extra tranny) but my wife and I are planning to return to Europe much sooner than we had thought so I must sell this vehicle much sooner than I had hoped. I hope that it will provide many years of enjoyment to its new owner.
Almost all of the options work apart from the passenger rear window and the sunroof. The sunroof motor operates with the switch but the sunroof itself doesn't move. All of the seats are still in good condition but would need minor repair work in a few areas, which is very common for these vehicles. The door panels are also in good condition with the two rear panels needing some repair where they meet the window. The car's radio was also upgraded to a mechless usb/mp3/aux input head unit and the car's exhaust was also upgraded, giving the car a much nicer sound and improving its performance. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly and the car is very fun to drive, providing great acceleration and handling. Here is a list of mechanical repairs that were done, some of which are very important for keeping the car in its original condition: Water pump replaced Front and rear suspension bushings replaced Rear hydraulic suspension repaired Posi rear suspension repaired Belt tensioner replaced. AC system repaired and recharged. Front brake calipers and rotors upgraded Cooling system repaired All new tires and upgraded wheels put on (tires still under warranty with Discount Tire) Car's paint is in very good condition New battery With the sale, I will also include an extra Getrag 5 speed manual 'dogleg' gearbox (rare and difficult to find) as well as an extra hydraulic fluid pump and reservoir. My original intention was to convert the car to a manual transmission so I purchased this transmission from someone who had this as a good back up in case his transmission ever went out. I don't have a lot of information on it. The blue you might see on the side of it in the pictures is just left over tape that was put around where the linkages attach to protect them. The slave cylinder looks new and generally the transmission looks to be in good condition. The conversion to manual is not a very difficult swap and this is the hardest element to find, particularly with this specific shift pattern. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any further questions at 6029185887. |

2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Now Even Sharper Than The Razor's Edge
There have been five Black Series models since the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Black Series introduced itself to European audiences in 2006. Following that, the Black Series club has hosted appearances by the 2008 CLK63 AMG Black Series, the 2009 SL65 AMG Black Series and last year's 2013 C63 AMG Black Series. The sixth member of the group is one we would have thought already was a Black Series car in its standard guise. Right out of the box, the SLS AMG is loud, frenetic, cozy, boisterous and frightfully easy to oversteer. How much more Black did it need to get?
Quite a bit so, apparently. The SLS AMG Black Series has lost weight, gained power and been refitted with upgrades and aero bits from front to rear. If you liked the way it looked before, you'll probably be an even bigger fan of this one. If you thought it looked ungainly, well, this one should stay even further away from pageants. Regardless of where you come down this is the best SLS AMG variant we've driven.
Car2go introduces four-seat Mercedes B-Class vehicles
Tue, Sep 29 2015Easily identified by its huge fleet of blue-and-white Smart Fortwos in cities around the world, Daimler's Car2go car sharing service is growing in Canada – both in the number of vehicles and the doors that they have. For the first time in North America, the company is renting a model with a usable backseat thanks to a new pilot program bringing 75 examples of the Mercedes-Benz B-Class to Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary. The point of adding these hatchbacks to the ranks is to offer an option for those seeking more than the paltry room that the ForTwo offers. Car2Go imagines people using the B-Class to haul extra people in the back or just for the added cargo space. The vehicles wear the same blue-and-white look as the rest of the fleet, but they're specially identified for users in the smartphone app. Best of all, for this pilot program, their rental cost is the same 41 cents per minute as the tinier Smarts. The car sharing service has already started testing the waters of offering the B-Class in Germany. Its Car2Go Black pilot program was announced last year and placed 100 of the hatchbacks in both Berlin and Hamburg. car2go Just Got A Lot More Spacious Carsharing Leader Introduces Four-Door Vehicles For The First Time In North America AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 28, 2015 /CNW/ -- car2go N.A., LLC, the market leader for one-way carsharing in Canada, announced today that car2go will be introducing 75 four-door vehicles to its fleet in Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary. The pilot program, which officially launches today, provides over 300,000 car2go members in Canada exclusive access to the Mercedes B-Class vehicle, a roomy, versatile alternative to car2go's signature smart fortwo vehicle. The new four-door vehicles are also equipped with the latest car2go technology, allowing members the ability to control their entire car2go experience seamlessly through the official car2go smartphone app. car2go will be introducing 75 four-door vehicles to its fleet in Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary.

This or That: Mercedes S-Class 350SD vs. 2003 Jaguar XJR [w/poll]
Thu, Mar 26 2015Budget. It's a wretched word, whether you're going out to eat, shipping for a new outfit or, more relevant to today's discussion, buying a car. Massive marketing machines have convinced us, as a population, to buy the best you can afford, repercussions be damned – If you've saved up some money, spend it! All of it, on whatever it is that currently sits atop your personal Amazon wishlist, be it a Timex that takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin', a $17,000 Gold Apple Watch or a $60,000 Rolex Cosmograph Daytona. But what if the best you can afford is... say, $12,815? For that price, you can buy a brand-new 2015 Nissan Versa (including destination), assuming you're happy with zero options and a manual transmission. For that price, you'll get standard air conditioning, a CD player and... well, a warranty. Pretty sensible choice, Captain Frugal. But also ridiculously uninspired. And so that brings us to today's edition of This or That, in which two Autoblog editors pick differing sides of an argument and duke it out to see which one of us can convince you, dear reader, is better. Or at least less wrong. You be the judge. As a refresher, I'm two-and-two on these challenges, having lost the first and second editions before storming back in rounds three and four. Today, as alluded to above, we decided to throw our collective brainpower (oh lord, what have we done?) at what may be the single most difficult question currently confounding the best minds our planet has to offer: What is the best used used luxury car you can buy for the price of a 2015 Nissan Versa? Shall we meet our contenders? Allow me to introduce you to the most perfect luxury car money can buy (assuming the amount of money you're holding is equal to the amount of the cheapest new car currently sold in America, the Nissan Versa). My pick is the 1991 Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Not just any S-Class, but the legendary W126, which was produced between 1979 and 1992. And not just any W126, either, but one powered by a 3.5-liter turbodiesel engine. And with that, I send the argument to my esteemed colleague, Associate Editor Chris Bruce. Bruce: Jeremy, we had over $12,000 to budget for this challenge, and the best you can manage is a 24-year-old diesel Mercedes? I love oil-burners as much as any other auto writer with their mountains of torque and huge cruising range, but you're making this too easy on me. Also, you're really choosing a brown, diesel, German luxury sedan?
