Up for auction is the classic Mercedes Turbo Diesel Wagon. I bought this 1981 beauty in July of '06 from the estate of an elderly gentleman in Naples, FL with about 91,000. It is virtually rust free. It runs like a charm (I've driven it to North Carolina and back with no problems) and I've enjoyed every mile in it. I can't believe how much smoother, quieter and faster the five cylinder turbo is compared to my four cylinder non turbo 240D. Cruising along on the highway is a pleasure at turnpike speeds (and maybe a little faster!)

It's got right around 100,000 miles, so it's just getting started. I took these pictures a couple months ago, and the mileage as of today is now 99,920. It's still in the same condition, obviously. It is garaged in the winter and brought out in the spring. The cruise works, the clock works, no dash cracks. However, it is a 32 year old car and so has some minor issues:

* There is a minor repaired tear in the driver's seat bolster (shown.)

* The tailgate struts are tired. I will include a new pair in a box in the car. It's an afternoon job.

* The A/C does not hold a charge. Everything is there and works, but there must be a leak somewhere.

* The rear right power window works, but makes a funny noise when it reaches the top. Maybe it's nothing, maybe something need tightening, maybe a new regulator is in your future.

* The self leveling suspension doesn't seem to operate. I've never needed it, but I have a friend who just repaired his pretty easily. That's more than an afternoon job, though.

It has no major issues. It starts right up, runs great, looks great and I get comments wherever I go in it. A friend's daughter even said it was a total chick magnet car. I think she was kidding but it was nice to hear! The Palomino MB-Tex interior is in very good condition, although the carpet in the back has the usual sun fade issues where the spare tire is. Other than the previously mentioned repaired tear, everything is terrific. The netting on the back of the front seats is even tight. The dash and console are in excellent condition. The rear seats are virtually flawless.

The exterior looks great. There are a couple of minor scratches here and there but nothing major. It looks to my eye like a panel or two may have been resprayed in the past but I don't know this for sure. It looks fantastic, even up close.

I have extensive records dating back to March of 1982. I have religiously changed the oil every 3,000 miles or less with Rotella 15w-40. I am a longtime member of the Mercedes Benz Club of America and am active on several Mercedes forums and a moderator on one. The car and I are both known in the Mercedes community. And I believe in treating people courteously and fairly. You will not be disappointed with this car.

Update: I was just looking at the listing and checked out the Auto Check report. Evidently the car was in a fender bender involving the right front. I have inspected this area of the car and it must have been minor and professionally repaired because there is no evidence of the incident. If you want any extra photos or details feel free to email me. Thanks for looking!

Mercedes-Benz previews its curvy sports-car and design future

Fri, Jan 27 2017

Suggesting creases are passe for automotive design, Mercedes showed off ideas for its future styling directions this week at a forum in Germany, including previews of upcoming sports cars and sedans. We see images of a curvy sports car study (the silver car) with huge wheel arches flared out almost like pontoons. There's also what appears to be a rear-engine hypercar (white car); we've been reading reports about it for months. Additionally, there's a red sporty saloon, as Mercedes calls it, also among the photos. It features prominent rounded fenders and a bold horizontal grille. Mercedes also previewed its upcoming A-Class, in what it calls the Aesthetics A sculpture, which looks like a car covered in a red sheet. Though Mercedes says this is its next step to a purer design, creases and strong lines are still evident on the sides. Related Video:

CES 2022 was huge for EVs | Autoblog Podcast #711

Fri, Jan 7 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder. CES took place this week, and there were some nice electric surprises from automakers, especially General Motors. John has been driving the Ram 1500 Power Wagon, as well as what seems to be its polar opposite, the electric Mini Cooper SE. Greg talks about the differences between the Acura TLX A-Spec long-termer (which is back in the shop) and the Type S loaner that's filling in for it. John's also got some interesting thoughts on leather interiors. Finally, the editors reach into the mailbag and help a repeat customer decide on a suitable replacement for a 2008 Lexus GX 470 in this week's Spend My Money segment.

Mercedes working on new inline-six engines

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

Mercedes-Benz will make a return to the inline-six-cylinder engine game, according to a report from the UK's AutoCar. It's not clear what's prompting the phasing out of the current array of V6s.
We'll see the first inline-six from Mercedes in next-generation E-Class, set to debut in 2016. Following that, it'll arrive as part of a mid-cycle refresh for the C-Class in 2017. What's particularly special about the new inline-six is its modular nature, which will allow Mercedes to eventually spinoff three- and four-cylinder options, with the three-pot arriving alongside the new inline-six.
In other news, AutoCar uncovered some details on the next C-Class AMG, which will ditch its excellent 6.2-liter, AMG V8 in favor of a 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8, although we've already told you about that. What we didn't know at the time, though, was that the 4.0-liter would be paired first with a new, seven-speed AMG Speedshift transmission and offer all-wheel drive. AC also reports that a nine-speed Speedshift is in the works.
