1985 was the last year Mercedes built the gorgeous 123 series turbo diesel coupe . They made these legendary cars between 1978 and 1985 , but only for 4 years with the turbo version . They are known to be the most reliable and enduring cars Mercedes Benz ever produced . You often find them with 500k miles and still running well . This particular was finished in " smoke silver" ( MB color code 702 " Rauch-Silber" ) with black leather interior . The leather interior was a rare option in 1985 . Since the car has only 181k miles on it and has always been garaged , the leather interior is still in great condition . There are no rips in the seats and the leather is still soft . Also the original dashboard is still in wonderful shape with only 1 tiny little tear on it by the right speaker panel . The wood is in great shape and still has the original shine to it . The straight body is in excellent condition and the original paint still shines like on a 3 year old car . Even though with a close inspection you will find little scratches here and there , it is hard to believe that this paint is already 29 years old . The smoke silver held up very well and it is a classic and elegant color combination with the black leather . But the nicest thing about this car is the way it drives . It has lots of power on the freeway and in town . It cruises effortlessly at 90mph and still gets between 25-27 mpg of diesel . It has been well maintained and it shows. Just within the last year the following things were replaced or attended to : -new motor mounts and engine shocks, - valve adjustment with new valve cover gasket ,- all new filters and fluids , - new hood insulation , -new transmission module , -new battery, new shifter bushings , -new breather hose , -new air filter mounts with buffers , - new pre glow time relay ,- new accelerator linkage . All the windows and the sunroof work they way they should . I could not think of anything it needs . This 300CD accelerates very nice , has plenty of power and the transmission shifts smooth . It would make a wonderful car to drive every day without the worries normally associated with classic cars . Or it would be a perfect candidate for a classic Mercedes collector . With the last year of production , the classic color combination and the rare leather interior option it would look great in any collection .  I did take lots of pictures and they can describe the car better than i can . But if you have any more questions or would like to make an appointment to see this car , just send me an email and i will respond quickly . I would prefer to sell this car locally to somebody who could actually come by and see it ,but i would also be willing to help with an airport pick up or shipping arrangements. All shipping charges will have to be paid by the winning bidder . Please have your funding in order and do all your " due diligence" BEFORE placing a bid . I would be glad to show this car almost anytime BEFORE the auction is over . This is a wonderful 29 year old classic automobile in great condition and it will be sold " as is " and WITHOUT a warranty . Thank you for looking at my auction and good luck !!

Mercedes-AMG teases GT interior, announces fall 2014 debut

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

Mercedes-Benz opted to tease the assembled media at its post-New York Auto Show party, showing off a pair of images of the exquisitely crafted interior of the highly anticipated successor of the SLS AMG - the V8-powered Mercedes-AMG GT.
Slated for a debut in the fall at either Paris or Los Angeles (we're betting Paris), you'll note straight away that there's something wrong with this car's name. Where's the "Benz?" Well, it's been ditched to, as Mercedes says, "make the dream of the authentic Mercedes-AMG sports car come true." Sorry Karl.
"The new Mercedes-AMG GT proves that we will be positioning AMG as a dynamic sports car brand even more strongly and aggressively than before," said Tobias Moers, CEO of Mercedes-AMG.

2015 Austrian F1 Grand Prix switches to alternating current

Mon, Jun 22 2015

It's called the Red Bull Ring, guests are welcomed by a statue of a leaping bull, and dominating its layout demands powerful cars that can run it hard. Perhaps all that aggression is what led both Mercedes-AMG Petronas cars to run off the track in the final qualifying session on their final hot laps, a little too aggressive on the charge. Lewis Hamilton was first into the gravel at Turn 1 when he lost his car under braking, but he was still fast enough to get pole ahead of teammate Nico Rosberg, who spun at Turn 8. Rosberg started second. Or perhaps it wasn't the red bull but the scarlet horse that caused The Silver Arrows to muck it up: Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel had Mercedes' attention all weekend, and he'd line up in third just 0.355 off Hamilton's time. Williams truly rediscovered its power, Felipe Massa going fourth fastest, teammate Valtteri Bottas in sixth. Between them was newly-minted Le Mans winner Nico Hulkenberg, yet again – can we say that enough? – pulling the still-not-updated Force India to fifth place on the grid. Max Verstappen led the Renault-powered top-ten duo in his Toro Rosso in seventh, Infiniti Red Bull Racing driver Daniil Kvyat behind him in eighth. Kvyat, however, would start down the order because of a ten-place grid penalty for needing a fifth Renault engine. After that it's back to Mercedes Ferrari power, Felipe Nasr in the Sauber in ninth, Romain Grosjean in with Mercedes power in the Lotus in tenth – but fellow Lotus driver Pastor Maldonado actually started in tenth because of Kvyat's demotion. Before we get to the race, can we take a moment to talk about the shenanigans and gaudy penalties? Kimi Raikkonen waved the Ferrari flag in Canada after a season that's been full of "We didn't get it right this time," and we thought he was back. But no. In Austria the refrain returned, the Finn kicked out of Q1 after another miscommunication with the team – he qualified 18th. If the scenario plays to form, we'll now wait for team boss Mauricio Arrivabene to issue a clarification that suggests Raikkonen missed a step. Daniel Ricciardo parachutes ten spots back for the same reason as his teammate Kvyat, needing a fifth Renault power unit, dropping him to 18th on the grid and forcing him into a five-second time penalty when he comes in to pit.

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.
