The brake force struts in the front suspension are shot so the front end clunks under braking and some turning but I have had my mechanic look at it and the ball joints, a-arms, etc. are fine, its just the brake force struts."

 1991 Mercedes Benz 350 SDL.  It is the same as the 1986 or 1987 300 SDL but the engine is larger and more powerful (it is geared a little higher, 3rd redlines at 80 mph and the factory claimed this car could do 115 mph), the turbo is updated, the rear end and transmission are heavier duty.  The car has 394k, a new bottom end around 100k ago, new head (a #22 head) went in 4 months ago.  The radiator, a/c compressor, axles and vacuum lines are all new.  The engine runs like new (it practically is new), transmission shifts flawlessly and a/c blows really cold. Original paint is ok with one ding near trunk lid.  Tires are new three months ago.   Receipts for all items previously mentioned as new.  The drivers side door lock is pretty worn out so it is difficult to lock/unlock on that side but passenger door lock works perfect, the plastic around the headlights has a few age cracks as does the door panels near the door locks and the clear coat on some of the woodwork.    The interior is pretty good except for a small tear in the drivers seat. Everything works except for power antennae stays up.   New pioneer stereo with usb jack.  This car is more of a runner than a show car, while everything is there and works for the most part, everything shows wear.  The motors for these cars go for 8500$ for a rebuilt longblock and that is what this car has under the hood with 100k miles on it, and a good transmission to boot, just realize everything else shows age.  To start the car in the morning, just turn on the glow plugs for 1 or 2 seconds and barely crank the starter for a second and it starts right up with a perfect smooth idle.  The car is very quiet and smooth, never been in an accident, has no rust in the undercarriage.

Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG coming to the New York Auto Show

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

Mercedes-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.

Mercedes has already booked 30k orders for new S-Class

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

When Toyota snags 30,000 Corolla orders over a three-month span, it's entirely possible we're in the midst of a global economic collapse and that the end is nigh. That's because the scale for Toyota is so very large. Mercedes-Benz, on the other hand, operates on a much smaller scale, particularly when we talk about its higher-end models, like the S-Class.
In 2012, Mercedes sold 65,000 of its flagship sedans in Germany and the EU. That's 178 units per day, for 365 days. Based on that, you can imagine the excitement at Stuttgart when it accepted 30,000 orders for the new S-Class in just three months. That's an average of 333 per day on a continent with a notoriously shaky economy. Now, admittedly, this enthusiasm could wane as the refitted S-Class becomes more common and Mercedes achieves market saturation in Europe's many chauffeur and livery services, but Mercedes isn't choosing to look at it that way.
"The new S-Class has already jumped back into the lead in terms of new vehicle registrations in Germany and its neighboring European countries," Mercedes-Benz head of sales and marketing, Ola Kaellenius, said in a statement last week.

Formula 1 seeking independent engine supplier

Mon, Oct 26 2015

Formula 1 could get a new engine supplier in the near future, if Bernie Ecclestone and the independent teams gets their way. According to Autosport, the FIA is soon to open the contract up for bids, and there are already several manufacturers that have expressed interest. Currently Mercedes, Ferrari, Renault, and Honda supply engines – both to their own premier teams (Red Bull and McLaren for the latter two) but also to other teams like Williams, Sauber, and Toro Rosso. Because the new turbocharged V6 hybrid power units cost those four suppliers so much to develop, they're charging their customer teams big bucks – around $20-30 million per season – to provide the engines. These costs are much higher than the $10 million or so it used to cost to purchase a V8 engine under the previous regulations. Ecclestone figures it's time to bring in another supplier who will not run their own team and not play favorites, but will supply engines to private teams at a lower cost. There are already a number of potential suppliers under consideration. One of them is said to be Cosworth, which has a long history in the series stretching back to 1963. The British firm stepped back between 2007 and 2009, returned in 2010, and dropped out again after 2013. The development could be of particular benefit to Red Bull, which has been unable to find an engine supplier and could be forced out of the series as a result. The team has long been powered by Renault, but that relationship has grown sour. And the other three engine manufacturers have not been forthcoming in offering an alternative arrangement for the team.
