continued from above......the car was always garaged and to add to that, the previous owner always covered the entire dash and seats with white cotton towels to prevent any type of damage or dryout caused by sunlight! We drove through Northern Cali, to the Redwoods and the Pacific Ocean Hwy because we knew we might not have such an opportunity again, then a total of 2900 effortless miles back home, without a flaw of any sort..The car was purchased new in Denver by an elderly gentleman that loved Benz's. He traded in 88 300SE in for this car, and gave $26300 difference(sticker 54322.) He then let his daughter drive it back and forth to college. At graduation, she sold the car to the gentleman that I purchased it from and it came with a ton of service records that showed all the servicing was performed by the Benz dealer. My daughter took it to Jacksonville Fl with her when she was transferred there with the US NAVY, and drove it back and forth from Florida three or four times, with no issues! Bottom line is this is one hell of a car, even still today! The ONLY reason Im selling this car, is the fact I had to take another job that doesn't pay very well, and I have 7 vehicles that the tag/insurance renewals are due in Feb and I cant drive them all, or afford to keep them all! This is BY FAR the best of the litter. I would go anywhere, anytime in this Flagship of its time. The only thing Ive done to this car, is perform regular maintenance , put a new set of tires on it, about 15000 miles ago, and a battery. It does have a small trans fluid drip that appears after its been sitting, minor issue for a car of this age and mileage. Usual rules apply, bid to buy not to jerk around. $250 deposit is required within 48 hours, via paypal, and only $250 please due to their charges! Balance due at pickup in Indiana, in cash only!. You will need to do nothing to drive this car home, wherever home is. If you need it shipped, its up to to make your own arrangements with the carrier of your choice, and must show the transport fees paid in full, prior to letting the car leave my property. Also, I will mandate from the carrier, a checklist of the cars condition at departure and the buyer can compare to it on delivery so that any damage etc, is the responsibility of the shipper. You are welcome, at your expense of course, to have an independent survey of the vehicle buy a local mechanic at MY location, in fact we have 3 very qualified German car mechanics here locally. All questions and inspections need to be completed prior to 24 hours of auction end. Pickup arrangements must be made within 72 hours after auction end. Questions? Call Ray @ 765-580-0789 as Im sure I probably forgot something or a detail of somekind! Thanks in advance, and Good Luck!!

Mercedes CLA a sub-$30k car no more

Fri, Dec 12 2014

To be honest, the sub-$30,000 Mercedes-Benz CLA was more a theoretical than a real thing. Squeaking in at $100 below that magical threshold, not counting a $925 destination charge, snagging a CLA anywhere near $30k meant exercising extreme self-control with the options catalog. Perhaps with that thinking in mind, Mercedes is set to effectively scrap the entire idea, with Cars Direct claiming the price on a new CLA is set to increase by about five percent, to $31,500. Adding 4Matic all-wheel drive brings the starting price to $33,500. Even the hot CLA45 AMG is getting a price bump, from $47,450 to $48,500. Frankly, it's impossible to miss where Mercedes is coming from with this move, if it actually happens. The CLA has been one of 2014's unmitigated success stories, selling so well that Mercedes has struggled to keep up with demand. Considering that, a modest price hike is to be expected.

Mercedes working on new inline-six engines

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

Mercedes-Benz will make a return to the inline-six-cylinder engine game, according to a report from the UK's AutoCar. It's not clear what's prompting the phasing out of the current array of V6s.
We'll see the first inline-six from Mercedes in next-generation E-Class, set to debut in 2016. Following that, it'll arrive as part of a mid-cycle refresh for the C-Class in 2017. What's particularly special about the new inline-six is its modular nature, which will allow Mercedes to eventually spinoff three- and four-cylinder options, with the three-pot arriving alongside the new inline-six.
In other news, AutoCar uncovered some details on the next C-Class AMG, which will ditch its excellent 6.2-liter, AMG V8 in favor of a 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8, although we've already told you about that. What we didn't know at the time, though, was that the 4.0-liter would be paired first with a new, seven-speed AMG Speedshift transmission and offer all-wheel drive. AC also reports that a nine-speed Speedshift is in the works.

A weird end to a weird F1 season | 2016 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix recap

Mon, Nov 28 2016

The 2016 Formula 1 season ended with a bang that came from a direction no one expected. Lewis Hamilton put his Mercedes-AMG Petronas on pole position and then got away clean to start the race. Teammate Nico Rosberg did the next best thing, lining up in second and following right behind Hamilton for most of the race. Other than Rosberg's wicked pass on Red Bull's Max Verstappen to retake second place on Lap 20, things stayed all quiet at the front. Come Lap 32 of the 55-lap race, however, observers began to wonder why Hamilton was driving so slow. The Brit, working every trick he could think of to win the Driver's World Championship instead of just the race, dogged it out front trying to push Rosberg back into the chasing mix of Red Bulls and Ferraris. Over the next 15 laps Hamilton's race engineer repeatedly radioed ideal lap times. Hamilton only occasionally hit the times until finally saying, "I suggest you let us race." When the one-stopping Sebastian Vettel blasted his Ferrari from sixth to third, nosing up to Rosberg's gearbox, Mercedes team honcho Paddy Lowe got on the radio to instruct Hamilton to go faster. Hamilton replied that if he wasn't going to win the championship he didn't care about winning the race. Hamilton repeatedly zoomed through the first sector to keep everyone behind, then clogged up the works through Sectors 2 and 3. The problem with his plan was that the Red Bulls in fourth and fifth couldn't get close enough to threaten the trio at the front; even if Vettel had got by Rosberg, Rosberg would still win the Championship with a third-place finish. As it happened, Rosberg finished second behind the disconsolate Hamilton. Vettel took third, followed by Red Bull drivers Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo, then the second Ferrari piloted by Kimi Raikkonen in sixth. Nico Hulkenberg took seventh, beating Force India teammate Sergio Perez for the last time as an intra-team rivalry. Felipe Massa closed his F1 career with ninth place in a Williams chassis that he got to take home as a gift from the team. Fernando Alonso scored the final point for McLaren, a touch of sweet for the team after the bitterness of Jenson Button retiring on Lap 12 with suspension damage. Rosberg's second place earned him 385 points for the season, enough to take the World Driver's Championship from Hamilton by just five points. Some have put the title down to Rosberg's consistency, others to his car's reliability.
