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 ....

These are the 'Greenest' and 'Meanest' cars in 2015

Fri, Feb 6 2015

As has become tradition, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) has come up with a ranking of what it refers to as the "greenest" cars of 2015, and, by way of contrast, a list of the so-called "meanest" cars, so those who value eco-friendliness over all else can choose which vehicles they should or should not consider buying. As you may expect, electric cars make up the majority of the greenest cars on the list, but, perhaps surprisingly to many, the Tesla Model S didn't make the cut. It's worth noting, too, that where the electricity an owner uses to charge their electric vehicle has a big impact on its overall environmental impact. "A car that is charged using electricity generated from natural gas or renewables is going to have significantly less impact on the environment than one charged on a coal-heavy grid," says ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan. The ACEEE's list for 2015 looks very different than it did in 2014. It's an interesting collection, though – and we're sure this goes without saying, really – we'd recommend doing a bit more research into each vehicle and how it might fit into your daily life before making any purchase decisions.

What is the most expensive car in the world?

Wed, Jun 19 2024

Highlighting one single vehicle as the most expensive car in the world isn't as straightforward as you might think. To get a solid answer, we're going to have to break the question into a couple of parts. First, we'll discuss the most expensive new car in the world, and second, the most expensive collector car in the world. And by the end of the article, you'll be armed with the information you're looking for: What is the most expensive car in the world? Before we get into the stratospheric numbers, let's take a step back and put things in perspective. For the last year or so, the average transaction price for a new car has hovered right around $48,000. That's almost 10 grand more than new cars cost in 2019, before the pandemic. What will that buy you today? Well, you can get a midrange Ford F-150, a Kia Telluride, or a Ford Mustang GT with a few options. Not bad when you consider that these choices are among the best in their respective classes. At the very bottom of the spectrum is the Nissan Versa, which is available brand new for well under $20,000. Sure, there are a few anomalies such as the Changli Nemica (it's kinda a car, though not exactly street legal here in America) that can be ordered from Alibaba for about $1,000 to start, but there are a bunch of hidden costs, including shipping. Most expensive car in 2024: Rolls-Royce Droptail Price: $30 million Outside of the classic car market, the most expensive new vehicle in the world is the Rolls-Royce Droptail. So far, three Droptail models have been built, one called the Arcadia Droptail, one in ruby tones called La Rose Noire Droptail and one called the Amethyst Droptail. The latest example, the Arcadia, is painted in a white shade that is infused with aluminum and glass particles for a pearl-like effect that adds depth. Past that, the overall design of all three Droptails remains largely unchanged with an upright grille, thin rear lights, and a rounded back end. Like other extremely luxurious and expensive nautical-themed cars from Rolls-Royce — see the 2017 Sweptail and the 2021 Boat Tail — the Droptail is a very rare machine. There's a solid chance the lone remaining version will cost even more than the $30 million-plus cost of the La Rose Noire. For those keeping track, the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail, which was previously the most expensive car in the world at $28 million, was the first model to emerge from the company's Coachbuild department that caters to the profanely wealthy.

Zetsche's CEO tenure extended through 2016 at Daimler

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

There appear to be two takes on Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche having his contract extended for three more years, to 2016. A report in The Detroit News quotes the chairman of Daimler's supervisory board, Manfred Bischoff, talking up the stability at the top, "With today's extensions of the contracts of Dieter Zetsche and Thomas Weber, we are maintaining the important continuity at the top executive level." Bischoff also stated that that Zetsche has a plan to "further enhance Daimler's overall performance."
Over at Reuters, though, the three-year extension was seen as a lack of complete confidence in Zetsche's plans, since his contract was supposedly meant to be extended by five years. A spokesman said the board decided to extend executive contracts by only three years if the person was 60 or would turn 60 during the contract, but that was news to observers. Zetsche wants to make Mercedes-Benz the top selling luxury manufacturer globally by 2020, but has fallen to third place behind Audi and BMW. It hasn't held the top spot 2005, and investors judged it valued at half that of BMW at the end of 2012 once Daimler's truck business was subtracted.
Analysts cites the fact that Daimler stock hasn't bested its rivals but twice in twelve years, and that the company revised its profit target downward last year by nearly one billion euros, warning of stagnant earnings this year and will miss its original margin target for 2013.
