This 1984 Mercedes wagon was finished in "light ivory" ( MB color code 623) with Palomino color MB-tex interior . This is a very elegant and practical color combination and it was the most popular color for this model at the time . The paint is in great condition . There are no scratches dings or dents and the paint shines like new . This car really stands out and i do get compliments every time i drive it . The interior is very clean as well , as the many pictures will show . There are no rips or tears in the seats . The carpets are clean and even the wood is in wonderful condition .The 123 series Mercedes have a great reputation for being some of the best built and engineered cars Mercedes ever made. They are very reliable and they still get you 27 mpg of diesel . In 1981 Mercedes introduced the turbo charger for the 3 liter diesel engine . Now they also had plenty of power . This car is truly fun to drive in town and on the freeway . It reminds you of a time , when cars were built to last you a lifetime and not only until the next model comes along . This Mercedes wagon has only 187k miles on it , which is actually considered low mileage for this particular 30 year old model . They often last for well over 500k miles. There are several Mercedes diesel with the same engine on Ebay right now with over 400k miles and still driving well . If you keep maintaining this car the way it has been serviced so far , it will transport you in style for a very long time . It has been fully serviced and the valves have been adjusted . In 2010 the transmission was completely rebuilt and i also have the receipts for it . The AC was serviced 2 months ago and it blows nice and cold . This wagon always starts up right away , has lots of power and shifts perfectly . It would make a wonderful vehicle for somebody who wants to drive a classic car every day and not worry about it breaking down all the time . It would also be a great candidate for a bio diesel conversion , where you can drive it on vegetable oil or even free waste oil from restaurants . I have never tried it on this car , but i was told , it is a easy conversion and this engine is ideal for it . This wagon could also work for a collector . You just do not see them often that clean and with less than 250k miles anymore . This is a wonderful 30 year old classic car in great condition and it will be sold WITHOUT a warranty . I would prefer to sell it locally to somebody who could come out and see it . But i would also be willing to help with shipping arrangements or an airport pick up . All shipping charges would have to be paid by the winning bidder . Please do have your funding in order and do all your " due diligence " BEFORE placing a bid .If you have any questions or would like to see the car , please send me an email through Ebay and will get back to you promptly . Thank you for looking at my auction and good luck ....

Aston Martin's deal with Mercedes-AMG more than skin-deep

Tue, Jun 30 2015

Aston Martin is working on a raft of new models. But it's not going it alone: it has a technical partnership with Mercedes-AMG, the details of which have only been revealed in bits and pieces. If these latest spy shots are anything to go by, however, the arrangement could run deeper than anyone initially let on. Spied undergoing testing at the Nurburgring, this prototype for the upcoming successor to the Aston Martin DB9 is widely expected to be called the DB11 (10 is being used by James Bond's new ride). From the outside it doesn't look different than the previous versions we've seen running around, but this time we can also peer into the cabin, and that's where things start to get interesting. Despite the best arm-waving efforts by the development engineers, our spy photographers managed to snap a couple of shots of the interior. And though it looks far from being ready for production, the components we see appear to have been lifted from the Mercedes S-Class Coupe – particularly the steering wheel, digital instrument cluster, and almost the entire center console. This speaks to a deeper collaboration between the British and German automakers. The 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 from the Mercedes-AMG GT, C63, and G500 4x42 is already being adapted for use in the next generation of Astons. Related Video:

Mercedes-AMG GT attacks Circuit of the Americas

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Mercedes-Benz is having a banner year with its Formula One team. Through 2014, the constructor has 454 championship points; ahead of its nearest competitor (Red Bull-Renault) by a margin of 182 tally marks. We're sure they can almost taste the champagne.
It's fitting then, and a little big cocky in a good way, that Mercedes has released a video of its newest sports car at an F1 venue. In this case, the car is the lovely Mercedes-AMG GT S, and the racetrack is Austin's Circuit of the Americas.
Having seen the official photo set and scratched the surface of the technical specifications earlier this week, we're excited to finally hear the thing run. As you might guess, the deployment of 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque from the twin-turbo V8 is a motivating experience. Crank up your volume, and hit that play button. (Oh, and Mercedes shot the thing in 4K, too, so those of you with expensive televisions/monitors should take heed to the settings.)
