Mercedes only built 8007 of the gorgeous 123 series coupes with the diesel engine and a lot less with the turbo version . This wonderful car was finished in Champagne ( MB color code 473 ) with palomino color MB-tex interior . It is a very elegant color combination and i do get compliments on it every time i drive it . The body and the paint are in wonderful condition . There are no dings , dents or scratches and the paint still shines . The interior is also still very well preserved , as the many pictures will show . The seats are in good condition , the carpets are like new and the headliner and door panels are clean . The wood is also in great shape . This car really looks great and many people can not believe , that it is almost 30 years old . But the best thing about it is the way it drives . It has always been maintained well and it shows . Besides regular maintenance it also received a air-filter upgrade and is much quicker as a result of it . You can drive it at 85-90 miles per hour all day long and still get 27 miles per gallon of diesel . This coupe has the lines and the sturdy build of a classic Mercedes while featuring all the amenities of a much more modern car . It comes with power windows, power sunroof, power door locks, power mirror , cruise control and AC . The original radio has been upgraded to a newer model featuring a CD player . I still have the original radio as well .  This is one of the few classic cars you can drive every day and not think twice about it . These cars are known to go for over 500k miles with the right maintenance . There are several Mercedes diesel of this era on Ebay right now with over 400k miles and still driving well . So with only 140k miles , this car is barely broken in .  This engine is also the perfect candidate for Bio diesel conversion , where you can drive on vegetable oil or free waste oil from restaurants . This 300CD always only drove on regular diesel , but i was told , it would be a easy conversion .  With prices on clean 123 series Mercedes rising over the last few years and the low miles , this could also be a very good and practical long term investment .  If you have any questions or would like to see this 300CD , please send me an email and i will get back to you quickly . I would prefer to sell this car to somebody locally , who could actually come out and see it / test drive it . But i would also be willing to help with shipping arrangements or an airport pick up for the winning bidder . Please have your funding in order , ask all questions and do all your " due diligence " BEFORE placing a bid . This is a wonderful , great running 30 year old automobile and it will be sold "as is " , " where is " and without a warranty . The winning bidder should not be disappointed . I did upload many more pictures and they can describe this car much better than i can . Thank you for looking at my auction and good luck !!

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi

Sun, 25 Nov 2012

EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.

Watch this perfectly nice Mercedes get crushed by a front-end loader

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

In 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.

Mercedes giving SL a nose job

Tue, Dec 9 2014

Mercedes tends to keep its SL roadster around longer than most models. The previous fifth-generation machine was launched in 2001, underwent a facelift in 2009 and stuck around until 2012. That's when the current model was introduced, and before it's replaced, Benz is expected to roll out another facelifted version. And that seems to be exactly what we're looking at here. Expected to arrive sometime in 2016 as a 2017 model, the updated SL will likely feature revised styling front and rear (along with updated interior equipment). This prototype appears to be wearing headlights from the new S-Class Coupe, which don't fit precisely, but then Daimler still has a couple of years to get everything just right.
