Welcome to my auction.  I've owned many of these model 123 Turbo Diesels, and purchased this car a couple months ago with the intent to resale after giving it Mechanical and Cosmetic servicing.  This is a no reserve auction.  My ideal winning bidder will have watched the many Mercedes Repair videos by MercedesSource.com on YouTube.  It is the best source of Mercedes mechanical help, and will prepare the winning bidder about how to buy and care for this Mercedes.  The car starts easily, runs and drives well.  Here's the details on this car:

Maintenance on 10/18/2013: Valves adjusted, new Vacuum Shift Actuator, New Glow Plugs after reeming, new Fuel Filter and in-line fuel filter, Oil and filter change.  Also air cleaner housing mount fixed.

Mechanical topics:  Wiper motor needs fixing (arms taken off and in trunk), Transmission shift early at first shift - perhaps needs adjusting or leave as-is, should you need highway ramp speed acceleration.  Battery light stay on after shut off and is there's a drain on the battery over time.  I remove the negative terminal to keep the battery ok for now.  The window regulators and switches are untested, however I know the drivers window works fine.  A/C untested. Heat and vent fan motor works ok with no smells.  Dash light and fuel gauge not working, undiagnosed.  Previous owner said that he replaced the rear brake shoes.  It does brake well.  Hood pull opener (inside car) is loose.  It has a Mercedes Muffler.  The exhaust system is fine.  The suspension is ok, and the steering is fairly tight.  Glass is original and not fogged.  Window seats at doors have cracks.

Cosmetic topics:  Passenger door dented (opens and closes fine); previous owner removed inside door panel and started to push out dent.  Right now the inside panel is off the car - I have all the interior parts for the winning bidder to put back on), rear seat leather cracked and bottom cushion passenger side is fragile.  See photos of rust.  I've taken photos on the Garage Lift while the car was getting serviced.  The car appears to be the original paint however I can't guarantee that....it was waxed and machine buffed in October.

The tires are matching and roughly 50% worn.  The spare tire is old and should be replaced.  It is a matching rim although not as clean as the other 4 rims.  The trunk leaks after a rain storm, and puddles on the right side.  I will add a photo with the Mercedes brand battery soon.  I cleaned the battery tray and painted the tray as well. 

Extra parts available and not included in this auction:  2 used Blue color doors (Drivers and Passenger door skins with exterior trim and handles), 1 Blue trunk lid, 1 front bumper with shocks and all trim.  Winning bidder can have the opportunity to view and purchase after auction end.

Ask questions before bidding please.  I will work with a shipping company should you need this shipped to your house, however pickup needs to be within 7 days of auction end unless arrangements are made before hand.

I will add more notes on this car, based on questions from bidders and any new information that would help someone know this car.

New Mercedes-Maybach concept set to debut at 2018 Beijing Motor Show

Fri, Apr 13 2018

Mercedes-Maybach builds some of the most kitted out and opulent production cars in the world. Think of the Maybach S 560 and S 650 as a Mercedes S-Class taken to the next level of luxury. Today, Mercedes-Maybach revealed a new teaser for what looks like a concept for a new EV. The car is set to debut in just a few weeks at the 2018 Beijing Motor Show. This might be the Maybach SUV we reported on a few weeks back. It's difficult to make out too many details, but it definitely looks different than the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 that we've seen floating around for the past couple of years. A close-up shot of the steering wheel shows the soft blue glow that Mercedes has put on the EQ-branded concept cars. Other images show clean white leather, rose gold trim and a pair of seats flanking a flower-encrusted panel. All the shots appear to be of the concept's interior, so we can't say for sure that this is the rumored Maybach SUV. Either way, it's sure to be just as luxurious and formidable as anything the automaker currently has on the road. We're hoping they come up with another G-Class Landaulet.

Mercedes-Benz CLA stars in sweeping short with supermodel Karlie Kloss

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

The Mercedes-Benz CLA earned itself a spot on our list of the top five unveils of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and for good reason. The German luxury compact is the first small car from the Silver Arrow that looks suitably premium inside and out. Nowness.com has turned out a new video of the CLA featuring super model Karlie Koss in the lead role. We aren't entirely sure what the premise is, but from what we can tell, it looks as if the CLA comes to life and proceeds to be a giant jerk.
After Koss stops to take a closer look at a white horse, the CLA gives the supermodel the old stop-and-go treatment before leaving her on the side of the road. Eventually, the sedan makes nice, but Koss has to ride shotgun instead of taking the controls herself. You can check out the video below to see for yourself.

Car2go introduces four-seat Mercedes B-Class vehicles

Tue, Sep 29 2015

Easily 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.
