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 ....

2016 Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG Sport bridges the gap between C300 and C63

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Mercedes-Benz is looking to its new C-Class for the second member of its new AMG Sport line, unveiling the C450 AMG 4Matic at today's 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Like the GLE450 AMG Coupe that debuted in early December, this particular C-Class bridges the gap between the standard C300 and the new Mercedes-AMG C63. Considering this, the C450 builds on the standard C400's 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6, rather than getting a bespoke, high-performance engine. Output is up from 329 horsepower to 362 ponies, while torque is turned up from 354 pound-feet to 384 lb-ft. The result of these upgrades is a zippy 0-60-mile-per-hour sprint of 4.9 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph. Those figures are identical to the Audi S4, while the BMW 335i xDrive is just a smidge quicker to 60, getting there in 4.8 seconds (the Bimmer is, however, limited to just 130 mph). Shuffling the 3.0-liter's grunt to a 4Matic all-wheel-drive system is the responsibility of Mercedes 7G-Tronic automatic gearbox that, despite not being a member of AMG's Speedshift dual-clutch family, still has its own mind for performance. Along with a quick-shifting, automatic Sport Plus mode, the C450 has a full manual shifting mode that, notably, will not automatically upshift, even when the engine is bouncing off the rev limiter. The C450 AMG hasn't only had its straight-line abilities boosted. Mercedes saw fit to include an AMG adaptive sport suspension with three-stage adjustable dampers, which have been pilfered from the C63 AMG. Paired with the aforementioned all-wheel-drive system, which can send up to two-thirds of its power to the rear axle, it's a fair to say this particular sedan should be one of the brand's more agile and entertaining. Beyond the mechanical bits, Mercedes has beefed up the exterior and interior aesthetics for its second AMG Sport model. The exterior has been touched up with new, staggered 18-inch, five-spoke wheels (or optional 19s), a more aggressive front fascia, a new rear bumper with a matte iridium diffuser, distinctive AMG badges and plenty of chrome and gloss-black elements. The cabin, meanwhile, is home to black MB Tex upholstery with red contrast stitching on the dash and doors, while AMG-specific upholstery lines the sport seats. The flat-bottomed, three-spokes steering wheel, meanwhile, is finished in Nappa leather. We'll have more on the 2016 C450 AMG Sport, including live images, coming soon from the floor of the 2015 Detroit Auto Show.

Formula 1 seeking independent engine supplier

Mon, Oct 26 2015

Formula 1 could get a new engine supplier in the near future, if Bernie Ecclestone and the independent teams gets their way. According to Autosport, the FIA is soon to open the contract up for bids, and there are already several manufacturers that have expressed interest. Currently Mercedes, Ferrari, Renault, and Honda supply engines – both to their own premier teams (Red Bull and McLaren for the latter two) but also to other teams like Williams, Sauber, and Toro Rosso. Because the new turbocharged V6 hybrid power units cost those four suppliers so much to develop, they're charging their customer teams big bucks – around $20-30 million per season – to provide the engines. These costs are much higher than the $10 million or so it used to cost to purchase a V8 engine under the previous regulations. Ecclestone figures it's time to bring in another supplier who will not run their own team and not play favorites, but will supply engines to private teams at a lower cost. There are already a number of potential suppliers under consideration. One of them is said to be Cosworth, which has a long history in the series stretching back to 1963. The British firm stepped back between 2007 and 2009, returned in 2010, and dropped out again after 2013. The development could be of particular benefit to Red Bull, which has been unable to find an engine supplier and could be forced out of the series as a result. The team has long been powered by Renault, but that relationship has grown sour. And the other three engine manufacturers have not been forthcoming in offering an alternative arrangement for the team.
