All the accessories are in working order including the original Becker radio. The air conditioner blows ice cold.  The a/c was an overhaul and has a new compressor.  Power antenna, vacuum locks ,power windows, and power sunroof work. Under the hood a new radiator, motor mounts,oil cover gasket, and water pump. Last week did an engine oil and transmission fluid change out. Owned by a non-smoker. No valve cover blowby or major leaks. It has the reliable 617 series 5 cylinder inline turbo diesel engine and 123 body style. If you want a heavy made steel car that runs great and has a reputation of running a long long time this is one of them that was produced.   Read about these cars for yourself on the net. I have two of them and my daily driver is a 84' 300D turbo that has over 255K miles and it still runs strong and A/C works. More pictures can be sent to you. This car does not have a computer that runs all the systems just basic diesel operation with vacuum controls. If one was neglected or beat up that's the only reason to steer clear of one, this one has had neither done to it. If you can do the basic fluid checks and even your own oil changes, you can own one of these classics.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG rumbles on stage 4Matic style

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Bruce Hornsby and his soothing piano skills helped introduce us to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but the monstrous E63 AMG sedan needed no entrance music as it rumbled on stage. The 550-horsepower (and up) sedan sat proudly alongside the rest of the redesigned E-Class on stage at the Detroit Auto Show, but stood miles apart in intention and execution.
In addition to a choice of sedan and wagon body styles, the E63 AMG will also offer buyers the choice of the standard 550 hp or an upgraded 577-hp S-Model; regardless of output, all 2014 E63 AMG models will come standard with the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system.
We already saw the E63 AMG's aggressive styling last week, but now we have a full assortment of live images for you to enjoy as well as the Mercedes-Benz press release, which is also posted below.

German carmakers recall 630,000 diesel vehicles in Europe

Fri, Apr 22 2016

Mercedes, Opel, Porsche, and Volkswagen will recall over 630,000 cars in Europe, according to reports Friday. No diesel car has been able to get under the legal emissions limit in real-world driving, according to a German government investigation. While only Volkswagen Group has been using a specific "defeat device", other carmakers have been playing with their exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. Depending of the manufacturer, the systems have been cut off at a certain temperature. In a specific test cycle the systems operate to fulfill the legal requirements, but in everyday use the limits are exceeded. According to the magazine Der Spiegel, the supplier Bosch is behind this programming and has provided it to all German automakers. The mentioned carmakers have announced recalls, but many other manufacturers are also mentioned by name in the report, including Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, Dacia, Fiat, Ford, Hyundai, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Nissan, Renault, and Suzuki. PSA Group, which produces Peugeot, Citroen, and DS cars, declared yesterday that its offices were raided following an emissions investigation.
