1989 Mercedes Benz 300se One Owner No Rust on 2040-cars
Arlington, Virginia, United States
Hello,
Up for sale is a nice condition 1989 300se.
I am selling this car for an old friend of mine, almost family, who is the original owner of the car. I have a clean title in hand. The information below is a mix of what I've been told, and my assessment of the car upon driving it. General Summary: The car is mechanically sound. Exterior shows scratches and dings, but no major damage. Dashboard has no cracks. Headliner is in perfect shape. Interior is dirty/marked from years of use, but that would come out with a good cleaning. Driver's seat has very small cracks forming in the leather. Otherwise, the leather is in extremely good shape. Imagine, the driver was an older woman who never bought another car until now. She never needed to do more than regular maintenance. She took care of it, but not meticulously. She just used it... For 25 years - kids, grandkids, shopping, etc. Problems: Power Door Lock vacuum is dead. Locks can be manually depressed, but will not stay. Electric power seats do not work. Second-hand information is that it has to do with the switches, and I was given replacement switches, but no work was done. The battery dies if car is not driven for 3-4 days. Roof has some droplets where it looks like sap or chemicals were left, and the clear coat is eaten through. Also there are areas of light oxidation or clear coat wearing off on the roof. The car seems down on power or sluggish, and smells strongly of burning fuel. I suspect it needs a good tune-up and timing adjusted. (There is no hesitation, hiccuping, or otherwise weird stuff when accelerating though. Just seems like it should have more power than just average) Passenger sun-visor clip is broken, shown in the picture. Center console is cracked and loose. Seatbelt mount could have the leather fixed - shown in photos. It's not torn, just loose. Other stuff: Shifts are smooth and all gears work. Sunroof works in all positions without strange noises, no grinding, and does not leak Serpentine belt was done in the last few hundred miles. Spare tire and jack have never been used. Turns and rolls nicely. Turning the wheel all the way either direction does not produce any unusual sound from the steering, nor grinding or anything. Brakes work well no squeaking and no pulling, surprisingly. Tires are old, but have about 50% tread life, or more. I can provide video of the car running if you want. Test drives are welcome. Car is sold without warranty of course. |

Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG coming to the New York Auto Show
Tue, 05 Mar 2013Mercedes-Benz showed off the CLA45 AMG at a private event on the eve of the Geneva Motor Show, but was determined not to let it be photographed. We can talk about it, though - after all, a teaser image was released to promote the new Sony game Drive Club. The CLA45 AMG will use the same powertrain as the A45 AMG, which means a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. And that means a small four-door coupe sedan with the highest horsepower-per-liter in the segment. It will shift through the same seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, should also run out of speed at 155 miles per hour and have that three-stage stability control system.
As with its hatch sibling, the CLA is already so aggressive on the outside - and the parent company so anxious not to demolish the sedan's 0.22 coefficient of drag - that not much has been done to the cranked-up CLA. Even the rather thin tires on the standard only get a little less thin on the hotter variant. Inside will be the telltale AMG signs, with lots of red detailing and that flat-bottomed wheel among the giveaways. We'll know more later this month when the wraps come off at the New York International Auto Show.
Missouri Mercedes dealer offering free Smart with every SLS AMG purchase
Wed, 05 Dec 2012The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT is an exquisite sports car that probably needs no help flying off dealer lots, even with a starting price of almost $200,000, but Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City has come up with an interesting incentive to sweeten the deal. For buyers who purchase a new SLS AMG from dealer stock before the end of the year, the dealership is throwing in a new Smart Fortwo from its inventory at no charge... with a required coupon no less.
In addition to being a great tactic to get a little free press, the spare car also makes sense as an alternative to the SLS, which measures more than 15-feet long - almost twice the length of a Fortwo - and has a 563-horsepower engine that sucks down gas at the rate of 13 miles per gallon in city driving (and even that's provided you don't give in to the devil on your shoulder). Plus, at the end of the day, this really isn't that big of an incentive. Being given a slow-selling $12,490 car for the purchase of a model starting at $199,500 represents about a six percent incentive, which is along the lines of a $1,900 rebate for a $30,000 car.
To get the free Smart, just visit the Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City Facebook page, redeem the coupon and then go buy yourself a new SLS AMG. Congratulations!
2018 Range Rover Sport Coupe spied in Scotland
Wed, Jun 8 2016Sport utility vehicles are the rage. SUVs with coupe styling are pretty popular, too, as BMW and Mercedes have demonstrated. Now it's Land Rover's turn. Believed to be the upcoming Range Rover Sport Coupe, this ute was spied this week during top secret testing at a remote location in Scotland. The vehicle would slot between the Range Rover Sport and Evoque, giving Land Rover an answer to the Mercedes GLE and BMW X6. These shots show what appears to be a chopped roofline, giving the new model a sportier profile than the traditional upright silhouette of Rovers. We expect it will use a version of the aluminum Jaguar F-Pace platform and offer V6 and V8 engines. It could also offer a hybrid or full electric version. The new crossover might also be lower set in a bid to differentiate it from traditional Rovers and give it a performance vibe. The Range Rover Sport Coupe – or whatever it is ultimately called – would enter a strong segment that's found favor in the United States. Once derided for potentially offering less function than traditional utes, these lifestyle vehicles have developed a strong following for their style and capability. The X6 was so successful, BMW added the smaller X4, and this forced Mercedes to follow suit with the GLE and GLC coupe variants. In this context, it's about time for Land Rover to join the fray.
