Here i am selling a 1985 Mercedes 300TD turbo diesel wagon .1985 was the last year Mercedes built the wonderful 123 series estate . This particular car was finished in Champagne  (MB color code 473) with Palomino color MB-tex interior . The body and the paint are in very nice condition as the many pictures will show . There are no dings,dents or scratches to speak of and the paint shines like on a much newer car . I do get compliments on this wagon whenever i take it out . 190k miles is actually considered low mileage for this kind of Mercedes . There are several cars with this engine on Ebay right now , which have over 400k miles on it and still running well . If you keep taking care of this kind of car , it really can last you a lifetime .They have a reputation for being the most durable and reliable car Mercedes made.   The interior is also in amazing shape . There are no rips or tears in the seats, the carpets are clean but a little faded in spots and even the wood panels are in great condition . This car also had the rare option of the interior cargo net with a cover for the rear cargo area .  The cargo net mounts to the back of the 2nd seat.  You can attach it to the roof in that position.  It also works with the 2nd seats folded down and attaches to the roof in a different spot, where it protects just the driver and front passenger.  The cargo net/ rear area cover rewinds into a factory box finished in palomino and is removable with the turn of 2 hand screws. Maintenance was always performed and it shows when you drive it . Just last month a service was performed , fluids and filters changed and the motor mounts and one drive-shaft axle were replaced . The brakes were done at the same time . This wagon always starts up right away and it drives wonderful . It has plenty of power in town and on the freeway . It cruises comfortably at 90 miles per hour while still getting up to 27mpg of diesel  . With the turbo it is not slow at all and a true pleasure to drive .It would be a perfect car for somebody who would want to drive it every day , even for long distances . It would also be the perfect candidate for a bio-diesel conversion , where you can drive it on vegetable oil or even free waste oil from restaurants . Even for a collector this car would make sense as a practical long term investment . It was the last year , prices are already appreciating and they just do not make them like this anymore.  If you have any more questions or if you would like to schedule an appointment to come by and see this wagon , feel free to send me a quick note through Ebay and i will respond quickly . I would really prefer to sell this car to somebody local ,who could actually come by and see it . But i would also be helpful with shipping or a airport pick up for a out of town buyer . All sipping charges would have to be paid by the winning bidder.  This is a wonderful , great driving 28 year old car and as such it will be sold " as is " , " where is " and WITHOUT a warranty . I am located in La Canada and i will make myself available for a test drive almost anytime . Thank you for looking at my auction and good luck ....

Mercedes-Benz EQC vs. Jaguar I-Pace vs. Tesla Model X: How they compare on paper

Tue, Sep 4 2018

The Mercedes-Benz EQ line is officially alive and kicking, with the reveal of the EQC electric crossover. It joins a segment that, while still in its infancy, seems ready to take off. Mercedes lists as the EQC's competitors the Jaguar I-Pace, The Audi E-Tron Quattro and the BMW iX3. While we've seen all of these, at least in concept or pre-production form, only one — the Jag — has actually been launched in production form. We've seen a concept and subsequent spy shots of the iX3, and the Audi EV will get its official specs publicized later this month. One electric SUV Mercedes didn't specifically call out was the Tesla Model X. As such, we've decided to compare on paper the Mercedes-Benz EQC 400, the Jaguar I-Pace S and the Tesla Model X 75D: All three are dual-motor EVs, though the Tesla is the longest and tallest. The EQC has the most power, but it and the Model X's 4.9-second 0-60 times fall short of the I-Pace. It also has the lowest top speed and electric driving range. (Mercedes sent us an updated range figure, but it's using the generous and largely outdated NEDC cycle; we're still waiting on an EPA rating.) We'll be interested to see how much the Mercedes weighs. Mercedes hasn't divulged the price of the EQC yet, but we imagine it'll fall pretty near to the $70,000 mark. As for Audi, we'll revisit this comparison after those details are made available on September 17. If you're interested in some other EV comparisons, we have a couple others that we published to compare the I-Pace to premium Teslas, as well as against other less-expensive EVs. If you want to learn more about these EVs, and compare them with other cars, be sure to check out our Car Finder and comparison tools.

Mercedes-Benz killing Maybach in 2013, replacing with S600 Pullman

Fri, 25 Nov 2011

According to an unnamed Mercedes-Benz source speaking with AutoWeek, the German automaker is killing off its Maybach line in 2013.
The unsurprising news comes after the brand was resurrected in 2002, but failed to meet sales expectations with its two core models, the Maybach 57 and 62. Further solidifying its fate, a deal with Aston Martin to aid in the development of future Maybachs fell through earlier this year.
According to the AutoWeek insider, the plan is to continue to sell both Maybach models through the end of 2013, after which the fifth-generation S-Class will go on sale. When that happens, three new variants of the S-Class will be available, including an all-new, range-topping S600 that brings back the Pullman moniker and may be better suited to competing with the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce.

Infiniti went out of its way to make the QX30 not a Mercedes

Thu, Mar 16 2017

You can complain all you want about perceived badge engineering when a company (like Mercedes-Benz) sells a platform to another brand (such as Infiniti). The reality is that most buyers won't know the difference, and they won't even realize their Infiniti is really a Mercedes underneath or that their neighbor's GLA has the same basic parts as the QX30 they just bought. What's weird to me isn't that sameness, but the places where the two cute little utes differ. These two vehicles, which are more like tall hatchbacks, use the same Mercedes 2.0-liter turbo four and seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Infiniti adds its own throttle and transmission calibrations. The suspension design is the same, although there are tuning differences. Both come standard with front-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive an option. Fuel economy matches for the FWD models, while the AWD Infiniti lags behind the Mercedes for some reason. So they're very similar despite their different looks. And design makes sense as a point of differentiation. Frankly, they go further than a lot of vehicles on shared platforms do – further, in fact, than the upcoming Nissan Navara-based Mercedes X-Class pickup does. The QX30 has its own sheetmetal and glass to separate it from the GLA-class. You probably think one looks better than the other. If you know where to look, the signs of sameness are obvious. Most major systems and pieces are shared, like the steering wheels (with different center covers), most switchgear, and things like interior and exterior door handles. Shared parts are fine as long as the parts are good ones. On that note, how many Tesla buyers realize their steering column and stalks, plus the window switches, come from Mercedes? And does that actually matter? We'd argue no. About those differences. Many are functional, like the fact the Infiniti does not carry over the Benz's Brake Hold feature – when you roll to a stop in the GLA (or any other Benz), pressing the brake pedal firmly applies the electric parking brake until you hit the gas to move again. The QX30 has an electric parking brake, but no Brake Hold feature. Someone used to driving Mercedes models will look a bit silly standing on the brake pedal to no effect. Ask us how we know. The Mercedes gauge package is carried over, but with the Infiniti font. Makes sense, although it's off-putting at first if you've seen the original, prompting a weird deja vu. Circular dash vents are replaced by rhomboid ones.
