This beautiful old car came to our family 4 years ago, with 96,000 miles from the second owner of the car, an elderly gentleman who told me he had owned it for nearly 20 years, but was selling it to purchase a Jaguar. He owns a diesel engine repair facility, so I know it was well cared for by him. He did, however, lightly scrape drivers side from drivers door back to end of car one evening going in his gated drive. I bought the car to put my daughter in so she would have something reliable that was built like a tank. In the years that I have owned it we replaced both rear axles when one of them began to hum, I put new glow plugs and rebuilt injectors in at about 105k miles, replaced belts and hoses as needed, changed oil and filter regularly (ROTELLA Diesel Oil), replaced both front shocks, and performed any other maintenance as needed. The rear accumulators need to be replaced, and I have them ordered and should receive them and get them on before the car is sold. Please note that the picture of the instrument cluster, and of the engine, were taken with car running in park with air conditioner on. I believe that show about 700 rpm and the oil pressure is pegged.
Inside the vehicle the wood trim is pretty good, with some varnish peeling. The floor mats are in excellent shape, the seats do not need recovering, the carpeting in rear is fading to a pinkish tint, the two rear pillars trim is gone, and some of the door trim is wrinkled from the Texas heat. All door and window rubber is serviceable. Windows have been tinted, and tint is good. Air conditioner is still the R 12 system and cools well. Heater is good, all windows roll up and down as they should. Original tool kit and first aid kit are in place, as well as many of the original books and records. I am probably missing something, but...
OK, I love these old diesels and this is the nicest and best one I have ever owned. With less than 125,000 miles she is a treasure for the right buyer. You all know these motors and what you can do with them. I am at that point in my life where I just want a newer car that I take to Wal-Mart for oil changes and to the dealer for anything else. I have driven nothing but Mercedes for 25 years now, and it is herd thinning time. I currently own 4 Mercedes wagons and 1 Mercedes sedan and as retirement is looming...well I want this to go to a home that will care for her until she has that million miles. As for my daughter, well we just bought a nice used S320 sedan for her.

Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA gets official ahead of Shanghai
Thu, 18 Apr 2013Mercedes-Benz has something special planned for the Shanghai Motor Show - a new CUV concept that we first saw when it leaked on the internet yesterday. The GLA Concept compact crossover will hit the show stand with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque mated to a seven-speed dual clutch transmission and 4Matic all-wheel drive, and likely previews a new production model that we've already spotted testing.
That's not news, but the laser-based headlamps with video-projecting capability certainly are. Mercedes-Benz says the array can project any image or video onto a screen, which is handy since there are a pair of HD cameras mounted to the roof rack. The cameras can be removed and taken with you on all sorts of adventures. The lamps also feature a visible cooling system comprised of a series of fans, and the system helps give the headlights their "sparkle" effect.
Step indoors and the GLA offers up the interior of a high-quality crossover, complete with contrasting leather and plenty of aluminum. The automaker says the cabin was inspired by saddle craftsmanship with "more than 65 feet of hand-stitched seams to hold the raw edges of the leather together."
2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Edition 507 still lights our fire
Wed, 06 Mar 2013The current Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG may be in the autumn of its years, but it's still one of our very favorite sport sedans. Ever. Yes, its paddle-shift transmission may not always follow orders, but with stupendous levels of thrust from its charismatic naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8, ebullient rear-wheel-drive dynamics and that noise, we frankly don't care that it's getting on a bit.
As a sendoff of sorts for the current generation, Mercedes-Benz has just introduced a new Edition 507 model at the Geneva Motor Show, with 507 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque - an increase of 56 horses over the standard car. Mercedes credits the substitution of low-mass internals from the SLS AMG gullwing for the power bump, a tactic shared with the AMG Development Package upgrade that has been subsumed by this Edition 507. 0-60 is quoted at 4.1 seconds and top speed at 174 mph.
The Edition 507 borrows its aluminum hood from the C63 AMG Black Series Coupe, along with spidery new 19-inch wheels in either titanium gray finish or matte black with shiny rim flanges. As seen on our gallery car above, a sports striping package is also featured, as are glossy black grille, daytime running lamps, spoiler and mirror caps.
Mercedes A45 AMG in downhill battle with slipstream skateboarder
Mon, 30 Sep 2013We're told it takes "performance, control and expression" to pilot a longboard skateboard down a mountain road, and that those happen to be the same values embodied in the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG. That's how the two came to be combined in a black-and-white short film called Silver Slipstream.
There's no talking, no engine note and no color, just some music, a 'boarder and a car on a long cruise down the Franschhoek Pass in the Western Cape of South Africa." Despite that, it's actually a pretty entertaining video of the latest Mercedes-Benz hot hatch married with extreme sports. You can watch how it all goes down in the video below.
