| Yes, I put another 1000 miles on the old girl since the last listing, and lowered the price $500. If you wanted a gas car you really should move up to a the reliability of this diesel. You won't be disappointed! Mercedes 5 Cylinder Turbo diesel starts right up and does not smoke on start up. Never driven on Ohio salted winter roads. This car is driven everyday in the summer. It was painted prior to the turn of the century with the new base coat clear coat. The windshield was also replaced. It is stored indoors during the winters here in Ohio. It has always maintained by a local Mercedes shop since 1993, but I did the oil changes. The engine was entirely rebuilt in March 99 by this shop at 142,000. New pistons, fitted in sleeve sets, rings included. Crank polished and turned. New rod and main bearings. Injectors and glow plugs replaced with new. After the rebuild and 10,000 miles I switched to Shell Rotella Synthetic oil. It runs very well on Blended WVO. The blended fuel saves about 50% in fuel costs. It can run on diesel or blended fuel with no other modifications all day long. I have installed an auxiliary fuel pump and filter to accommodate the Blended fuel. Shortly after this spare no expense rebuild the injection pump was replaced with a brand new one. The turbocharger was sent to Hard-line Turbo for an update and rebuild. I will give you many extra parts as I dismantled another car just like this one. Spare turbo diesel, transmission and anything else I could salvage from the other car is yours. Any parts left behind will be scrapped. Another local shop did frame restoration on the control arms on all four wheels this last summer. It needs a few things like a front bumper snubber and rear seats stuffed, but the upholstery is real nice. Driver and passenger seats are fine too. There is area where there are some smaller than a dime rust bubbles, that I noticed when taking pictures. Rust spot is on the drivers rear wheel quarter panel, and it shows in the pictures. The climate control has been upgraded to the newer trouble-free system, shown in the under hood pictures. This is about a $600 upgrade option. It is a very sound vehicle and has saved us tremendous amount of money. In my town where there are stop signs at every block, it still gets 25 mpg. Using half of this as WVO pushes it to over 50 paid for miles per gallon. On the highway, depending on the speed you can get 30 and 35 here in Ohio. It is not light by any means. It tips the scales up over 4000 pounds with passengers, so you can feel safe and protected in it. Not like today’s plastic cars. All the maintenance records from 1993 will show the care it has had by the same shop. The lucky new owner will be getting a nice car along with how to instructions for simple WVO blending that will save over half of your fuel costs. Taken care of this vehicle will last another 30 years! Most Mercedes parts are still available today unlike other vehicles. It is very simple mechanical fuel injection without all the complex emissions controls. This motor was called the million-mile motor. Other components for example, the shifter bushings were just replaced with new ones still available from Mercedes. The rear door actuator for the power locks was replaced and the parts were sent the next day. Just to mention a few recent things. Try getting a Ford, Dodge, or Chevrolet part for something over thirty years old. That may require a lot more effort and may take weeks to find if you are lucky. Step over to some German technology that was way ahead of its time. Enjoy peace of mind and economy at the same time. This is also a great candidate for pure WVO grease car kits. I just sold a VW that runs on straight WVO with the switching system. Although the blended fuel is easier and simple for my wife to use. There are no switches to remember while driving. Filler up with blend and drive, or use diesel if you do not have blend available. Any other questions please ask. I will be happy to pick any purchaser at the airport either Cleveland, Ohio, or Pittsburg, Pa. |

Watch this perfectly nice Mercedes get crushed by a front-end loader
Mon, 25 Mar 2013In 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.
Weekly Recap: Jaguar takes a leap with price cut, new strategy
Sat, Sep 5 2015Jaguar was one of the famous automotive props and plotlines in the now-iconic drama Mad Men. There's a scene where the show's protagonist, Don Draper, deftly undercuts an influential Jaguar dealer by indicating that get-me-in-the-door local radio spots would be an effective way to sell cars like the slinky E-Type. The British executives think this is folly – Draper knows they will – and his advertising strategy wins out over the dealer's approach to move the metal. Jaguar's not doing that, but half a century later in the real world the company is launching plans to make its cars more attainable to new and younger customers like Millenials. These aren't coupons, but this is a leap for Jaguar, which has long banked on sexy styling and its rich motorsports history to overshadow its past mechanical flaws. Put simply, Jaguar is addressing the reasons why people, especially the younger set, don't buy its cars. The 2017 XE will start at $35,895 when it launches next spring – which makes it an attractive buy for a successful, relatively young person. When it's time to move up, the redesigned XF will be more attainable, coming in at $52,895, which is $5,275 less than the 2015 model. The flagship XJ sedan and the enthusiast-oriented F-Type sports car will also get thousands of dollars worth of added standard features, and Jag is actively pitching them as a better value than their competitors. "The Jaguar brand is on the eve of a major transformation that will see it dramatically increase its presence in the United States luxury marketplace with an expanded lineup, pricing focused on the core of the luxury market, and an all-new ownership package with best-in-class coverage," Joe Eberhardt, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover North America, said in a statement. The brand's quality and reliability dings have also lurked in the back of buyers' minds for decades, though that's an outdated notion. Jaguar placed third in J.D. Power's Initial Quality Study in June and was the top-ranked luxury brand in J.D. Power's Customer Service Index in March. Not content, the company is rolling out an enhanced program called Jaguar EliteCare that launches on 2016 models. It offers a five-year, 60,000-mile limited warranty, the longest among its competitors, with free scheduled maintenance during that period. The plan also covers roadside assistance and connectivity features.
2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup shows its freshened face
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Mercedes-Benz showed us its redesigned 2014 E-Class more than a month ago, but the Detroit Auto Show finally gave us a chance to see the full family of mid-size luxury cars and wagons in the flesh. Dieter Zetsche introduced the cars, including sedan, coupe, convertible and station wagon, on stage showing the stylish new design direction.
The wagon and sedan versions (shown as the E400 Hybrid above) will go on sale this spring, while the coupe and cabriolet will hit showrooms over the summer. Check our new gallery of live shots for the entire 2014 E-Class lineup, as well as the previously released press release below.
