Welcome to my auction. I've owned many of these model 123 Turbo Diesels, and purchased this car a last month, with the intent to resell. This is a no reserve auction. My trusted mechanic has worked on this car while owned by the previous owner, and I bought it based on his good overall opinion of this car. My ideal winning bidder will have watched the many Mercedes Repair videos by MercedesSource.com on YouTube. It is the best source of Mercedes mechanical help, and will prepare the winning bidder about how to buy and care for this Mercedes.

The car starts easily, runs and drives well. It needs drivers side rocker panel repair/welding/patching (behind front drivers side wheel) and drivers seat floor area repair. Please know this before making an offer or bidding. I have a 2 body molding pieces that are off the car on the lower passenger side.

I was told from the previous owner that 5 years ago the odometer worked/didn't work. I'm selling this as true miles unknown. The Title and Bill of Sale is ready to be signed over to the winning bidder from the previous owner. The a/c compressor is fairly new however the a/c system is not operative. The interior vent fan works only in defrost. It has a manual sunroof. The heat works with no odd smells. The vacuum lines look good however are untested with the door locks and other functions. The rear hatch isn't opening, and needs fixing. I have not gone thru this car to report if all the windows work or not. I know all the exterior lights work. The grill should be replaced as I put on the current one from my spare collection. Note some of the Google pictures show the original grill. The previous owner wanted to keep the clean grill, since they had owned the car since 1994 till recently, and were attached to this car :( The air filter housing needs fixing and it currently can rattle (common issue). Mercedessource sells a repair kit. There is a 3rd seat in the trunk however I have not opened it all the way to inspect. The tires are in very good condition. The shocks are average. The brakes are good. I have an extra rear bumper that is available for sale for $200 extra should the winning bidder wish to purchase, and also the stock rims for $200 additional. The car starts easily, with no excess smoke or noises. See my other auction thru Sunday for a 1983 300CD .

I'm letting the many photos speak for the car. Here's a link for many photos (again remember the nice grill is gone, so look for the old grill which is currently on the car).

Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

A little over two months ago came reports that Daimler and Aston Martin were in talks, again, about "supply and technical-cooperation agreements." The next step has been taken with Aston Martin announcing that it has signed a Letter of Intent that looks "towards a technical partnership" with Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and the two companies aiming to have definitive agreements done by year's end.
While it will get to use certain electric and electronic components from AMG, the true golden egg for the maker of the Vanquish will be the ability to develop a new line of "bespoke V8 powertrains" that will be fitted to "a new generation of models." In return for opening up the larder, Daimler will get a non-voting stake of up to five percent of Aston Martin.
Nothing else is being said about the tie-up for the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more details.

Recharge Wrap-up: Houston's bus revival, autonomous trucks on the Autobahn

Thu, Apr 7 2016

A documentary shows how Houston, Texas significantly improved its outdated bus system. Called High Frequency: Why Houston is Back on the Bus, the short film describes how the city reimagined its bus system to become more efficient, more useful and more popular. Despite some opposition, the change has proven to be effective, with bus ridership up eight percent in three months, and light rail ridership up due to complementary bus routes. See the video above, and read more at CityLab. Automakers sent autonomous semi trucks on the German Autobahn as part of the European Truck Platooning Challenge of 2016. Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and Scania, among other groups, sent platoons of trucks between Stuttgart, Germany, and Rotterdam, Holland. In Mercedes's platoon of three trucks, the lead truck was fitted with lasers and other sensors to guide the convoy down the road. The two following trucks relied on vehicle-to-vehicle communication to trail 50 feet behind the lead, making room for cars to come between them and closing the gaps when able. The close following distance provides fuel economy gains of up to 10 percent in the rearward trucks on account of the reduction in drag. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Renault has reduced NOx emissions in its Euro 6b diesel vehicles in real world driving conditions. By improving its exhaust gas recirculation systems and NOx traps, nitrogen oxide emissions are cut in half on average, under certain driving conditions. The improvements will be included in vehicles leaving the factory beginning in July of 2016. Beginning in October, owners of Renault Euro 6b diesels can have the modifications added to their cars for free. Read more from Renault. Tata Technologies is creating an innovation lab in California to partner with EV technology companies. Having a tech center in California allows Tata to work on technologies that will largely be deployed in the company's main market of Asia. "Today, we are partnering with companies and startups who have aspirations to sell in China, but a lot of what they do is in California," says Samir Yajnik of Tata Technologies.

Maybach lost upwards of $500k on each vehicle sold

Wed, 08 Feb 2012

Daimler is shuttering Maybach in 2013 after seven years of production. In that time, the company's ultra-ultra-luxury arm managed to sell just 3,000 units, and CAR reports Daimler lost somewhere around $500,000 on each and every one of them.
Even with a ludicrous price tag of over $370,000 for an "entry" Maybach 57, the brand couldn't quite recoup the dizzying $1.33 billion Daimler poured into it since its (re)inception. Rumors ignited over a possible tie up with Aston Martin that would have resulted in a range of new and attractive models, but Daimler has instead decided to snuff out Maybach altogether.
We can hardly blame them.
