This is a stunning 1987 Mercedes-Benz W124 300D Turbo diesel with a 3.0L inline 6 engine and a 4 speed automatic transmission. It is in amazing condition, and the interior is very well kept. The previous owners since new had installed a set of sheep seat covers so the drive and passenger seat are literally brand new, the original carpet under the floor mats looks like they have never been touched by shoes ever. It has been repainted, and the paint job was done very well, it shows very well. It was originally a light gold colour and the PO had changed it to the silver. The body is in amazing condition with no dents or dings and no rust what so ever. It was bought new in Illinois and was then brought to Albuquerque in 1990 where it has lived ever since. Even that it does have 213k miles on the odometer it starts every time, and runs great, it drives fantastic as well. The suspension is super tight, the steering is tight, the engine runs strong and pulls hard and the transmission shifts without any issues. It was very well maintained within its life, as the carfax shows which is very clean as well. The tires are decent shape yokohamas. The A/C and heater work great, the A/C was converted to R134a in 2002. All the power windows work, the vacuum door locks work great as well. Only thing that has issues is the sunroof doesn't open evenly. And it has an aftermarket Cd player radio. But all in all a very well kept clean and good looking car that gets great fuel mileage. It does have one crack on the dashboard that can be seen in the photos. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me, and the car is available to view and drive.  photo _MG_0627_zpscf95de70.jpg  photo _MG_0632_zps2e3147df.jpg  photo _MG_0634_zpsb2e96cc3.jpg  photo _MG_0636_zps630d0e35.jpg  photo _MG_0637_zps15364697.jpg  photo _MG_0604_zps9b1ae717.jpg  photo _MG_0602_zps3601c044.jpg  photo _MG_0605_zpsf8fa1e61.jpg  photo _MG_0606_zps3bfa27b5.jpg  photo _MG_0610_zps8d31c5d1.jpg  photo _MG_0613_zps435d90c7.jpg  photo _MG_0617_zpsc1b302ad.jpg  photo _MG_0620_zps773d1d62.jpg  photo _MG_0618_zps28eb9ae4.jpg  photo _MG_0615_zpsba6bdd7e.jpg  photo _MG_0612_zps3e276124.jpg  photo _MG_0611_zps36f1aaee.jpg  photo _MG_0623_zpseb2a3f54.jpg  photo _MG_0622_zps73d5011d.jpg  photo _MG_0621_zps21479a9d.jpg  photo 300D_zps86a3919e.jpg  photo 300D2_zps72bedad9.jpg  photo 300D3_zps0c09a9de.jpg  photo 300D4_zps299cd8a3.jpg  photo 300D5_zpsf6e36d81.jpg  photo 300D6_zps99940324.jpg

2016 Mercedes-Benz C350 Plug-In Hybrid on sale this fall

Mon, Jan 12 2015

The Mercedes-Benz C350 Plug-In Hybrid can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than six seconds and can travel 20 miles in all-electric range. As for the more practical issues related to the new PHEV, well, those details will have to wait a bit longer. The C350 Plug-In Hybrid makes its official debut at the Detroit Auto Show this week. The electrified Mercedes will start US sales this fall as a 2016 model. The sedan's four-cylinder, 1.9-liter, turbocharged gasoline engine will be paired with an electric motor that will deliver a combined 275 horsepower. The car will also have such goodies as regenerative braking and collision-avoidance systems, not to mention a top speed of 130 mph. We're still waiting for the car's estimated fuel economy, of course. Not to mention its sticker price. Spy shots of the C-Class PHEV started popping up in May, as well as reports that the Daimler division was testing prototypes in Germany. Meanwhile, this past summer, Mercedes-Benz started taking payments for the S500 Plug-In Hybrid, the German automaker's first production plug-in vehicle. That model, which started European deliveries last September, can zip from 0 to 60 in about five seconds. It also costs about $146,000.

Ecclestone wonders if F1's upcoming turbo V6s should get augmented sound [w/videos]

Mon, 08 Apr 2013

While every team on the Formula One grid is worried about making a good showing in this year's championship at the same time as they develop a brand-new car for next year's championship, Bernie Ecclestone and F1 circuit promoters have a different concern: how next year's cars will sound. The current cars use 2.4-liter, naturally-aspirated V8s that can reach 18,000 revolutions per minute and employ dual exhaust, next year's engine formula calls for 1.4-liter turbocharged V6s that are capped at 15,000 rpm and are constrained to a single exhaust outlet. Ecclestone and promoters like Ron Walker believe the new engines sound like lawnmowers and that the less thrilling audio will keep people from coming to races. If Walker's Australian Grand Prix really is shelling out almost $57 million to hold the race, every ticket counts. As a fix, according to a report in Autoweek, Ecclestone "suggests that the only way to guarantee [a good sound] may be to artificially adjust the tone of the V6s."
However, neither the manufacturers nor the governing body of F1, the FIA, think there will be a problem. Ecclestone fears that if the manufacturers "don't get it right" they'll simply leave the sport, but the only three carmakers and engine builders left next year, Renault (its 2014 "power unit" is pictured), Mercedes-Benz and Ferrari are so embedded that it would stretch belief to think they'd leave the table over an audio hiccup - if said hiccup even occurs. And frankly, these issues always precede changes to engine formulas, as they did when the formula switched from V10 to V8; fans, though, are probably less focused on the engines and more on the mandated standardization of the sport and the spec-series overtones that have come with it.
No one knows yet what next year's engines will sound like, but we've assembled a few videos below to help us all start guessing. The first is an engine check on an Eighties-era John Player Special Renault with a 1.5-liter V6 turbo, after that is Ayrton Senna qualifying in 1986 in the Lotus 98T that also had a 1.5-liter V6 turbo, then you'll find a short with a manufactured range of potential V6 engine notes, and then the sound of turbocharged V6 Indycars testing last year at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Any, or none of them, could be Formula One's future.

Mercedes-Petronas AMG W04 launched to little fanfare, lots of pressure [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

No indoor cocktail hour for the launch of the W04, the newest chassis built by the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One team. Instead, Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton spent a morning in photo and video sessions at the track in Jerez, Spain then paused a moment to introduce the car. The team will want the W04 to demonstrate the World Championship credentials of the team personnel and one of the team drivers, instead of the mostly humble performances we've seen over the past three years.
The W04 has been fitted with a new five-element front wing, pushrod front and pull-rod rear suspension, a second-generation Coanda exhaust and an "aggressively packaged" rear end. A small vanity panel, à la Infiniti Red Bull's RB9, covers the stepped nose.
Team principal Ross Brawn has called it "a clear step forward in design and detail sophistication," but as much as we truly respect Brawn's abilities and achievements, we heard him say similar things about the updated W03 last year before almost every race weekend from about mid-season. We really hope he's right this time, and so does the team's newest driver, Lewis Hamilton. We'll do our best to ignore the parallels of the Mercedes F1 team having signed a sponsorship deal with Blackberry, another company trying to find its way back to the top and still struggling, and just point you to the video below of the W04 in action.
