w/Trailer Hitch-Solid Dependable Stylish Ride
the W123 Series Mercedes built from 1979-1985
is the last over-engineered, most durable car they've ever made
This wagon runs & drives terrific. Transmission shifts smoothly and is tight.
Previous owner replaced the stock air filter with a free-flowing K&N performance filter unit. Other than that, the car is stock.
Car was originally white, but repainted before I took ownership.
A couple of paint nicks here and there, but overall very straight and a quality, high gloss paint job. The only rust I've seen is on driver's door
at bottom corner and it was addressed during the repaint. Original Blaupunkt radio/cassette works as well as does the auto up/down external radio antenna.
The Roof rack has the chrome cross-bars often missing and go for $500 used. Recent Service includes-brake work, with both rear calipers and brake lines replaced, oil & filter change, fuel filter(s) changed, new glove box door, new engine compartment sound insulation pad. The wagons came standard with hydraulic rear suspension referred to as SLS.
The SLS works great and soaks up the bumps but still rides comfortably.
Original owner's manual in excellent condition.
The car is striking in this unique color.
The not-so great?-interior could use some TLC. Dash has the usual cracks, but dash covers are only $100
Seats, carpet, etc I'd give a 6 out of 10. Left hand hood spring loose, but hood stays up fine in vertical position.
If you're looking for a solid classic with modern safety features that rides smooth as silk, and don't mind putting in a little TLC on interior, this car is a great car for you.
As I said, there are no known mechanical issues but it is a 29 year old vehicle and as so, is sold as-is with no warranty.
I encourage interested parties to see & drive the car in person.
Bidders with less than 5 on feedback score need to email me first before bidding.
This car was an extra play car/driving restoration project that now has to go due to divorce.
It is priced to sell, with No Reserve.
Please see my feedback and bid with confidence.

Mercedes Alabama ops ordered to allow workers to discuss unionization
Wed, Dec 3 2014A decision last week by the National Labor Relations Board has bolstered the efforts of the United Auto Workers at Mercedes-Benz's Tuscaloosa, AL factory, as the union continues its attempts to represent the factory's workers. According to Reuters, the NLRB ruled that Mercedes-Benz US International, the proper name of the company behind the Tuscaloosa factory, can no longer prevent workers from discussing unionization in work areas while off the clock. While MBUSI maintains that it's not taking a side on unionization and that it wants the "the decision left to our team members," the UAW is still arguing that the US facility should take the same position on unions that the rest the world's Mercedes-Benz plants take and. Speaking to Reuters, the UAW says that stance "acknowledges the human right to form trade unions" and "respects the right of collective bargaining." According to Reuters, the Alabama factory employs 3,500 workers – 2,500 full time and 1,000 "temporary" – and is the only Daimler-owned factory on the planet not to offer employees the opportunity for representation. Presently, the Tuscaloosa facility assembles Mercedes' C-Class, GL-Class and M-Class vehicles.
YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
