300 Diesel With Orig. 91k Miles, Az/ca Car With Working Air Condition on 2040-cars
Riverside, California, United States
|
Since I was a child I loved Mercedes Benz vehicles and growing up in Germany I was even working for the factory in Stuttgart-Untertuerkheim during my College breaks.
Needless to say I had many MBZs over the years--some I sold, some I still have. I will spare you the whole story about the W123 cars and also the life stories of the previous owners of my car, instead I would like to give you the facts. Here we go: Milanbrown Metallic Color Code 404 Bamboo MB-Tex Code 104 Started its life in Alaska and was shipped to the first owner's winter residence in Tucson AZ after a couple of years. Second owner is an AK resident, who also kept it titled in AK but had it at his winter residence in Palm Springs, CA where it was also serviced for the last several years. 91k original miles, verified with the previous owner; working odometer and trip-odometer and marked "original" on current California title. When the vehicle was traded in to a large franchised dealership in the Inland Empire it had a big folder with service records which was unfortunately discarded. Original paint is in excellent shape, except for a small dent on the right front fender and some surface rust on the right front wheel well from the first couple of years in Alaska. Floor pan and rocker panels are completely rust free. Interior is in excellent condition without any rips, sun damage or tears. There are no cracks on the dashboard. The upper plastic inner window trim started to shrivel from the heat but has no cracks either. The wood on the dash is very shiny and undamaged. The carpet has no stains. Both front seats cannot be height-adjusted anymore, however the front and aft adjustment functions properly. It has a newer Blaupunkt single CD stereo with fully-functioning power antenna. There is a fairly new compressor for the A/C which now runs on R134a and it blows ice cold air. All functions of the "old-style" climate control work flawlessly. Power windows and cruise control work, power door locks do not work. The car has a new battery and a new starter and even after a couple of months it starts without any problems. Oil pressure at idle when the engine is warm is at a healthy 2.5 The transmission shifts amazingly smooth without slipping or hesitation. The front end is very tight. This car needs nothing and can be enjoyed the way it is right now. Since it's a 37 year old car, there are no warranties expressed or implied. I will gladly help with shipping within the USA or overseas. |

As US exports top 2 million, is America becoming the world's source of cheap cars?
Mon, Feb 9 2015North American auto production is booming with 2014 figures just shy of the of the 17.3-million vehicle record set in 2000. With more models being built on the continent, even more are being shipped overseas. Factories in the US exported 2.1 million cars last year – the highest number ever. About half of those went to Canada and Mexico, but more than ever have been heading to places like the Middle East and China. The upswing comes in part from from after-effects from the Great Recession, according to The Wall Street Journal. With a weak dollar and lower production costs after the financial crisis, building vehicles in the US was relatively cheaper and more competitive in the world. At the same time buyers around the world are going crazy for crossovers. According to the WSJ, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are already exporting the majority of their US production of these models overseas. Both automakers have also announced investments to expand production further here to send more vehicles abroad. Even Honda has been shipping more models out of the country than it imported here. There is a concern this international strength could start slowing because the dollar is strengthening against other currencies, though it's too early to know what the actual effect of this could be, according to the WSJ. "Of course, we closely watch currency exchange, but we don't make changes in production or allocation based on temporary fluctuations in the exchange rate," Ford North American boss Joe Hinrichs told the newspaper.

Eight Mercedes Fuso Canter E-Cell trucks now in service
Thu, Jul 17 2014Portugal is far better known for its scenery and seascapes (not to mention some of its alcoholic beverages) than its place as a vehicle-testing center. But the European country is serving just that purpose for Daimler's Mercedes-Benz division and a new line of trucks. And they are of the battery-electric variety. Daimler has sent eight of its Mercedes-Benz Fuso Canter E-Cell battery-electric trucks for customer-trial purposes to various parts of the Western European country. And these customers include the Portuguese cities of Lisbon, Porto and Abrantes as well as delivery company Transporta. These entities will be testing trucks that have about a 60-mile single-charge range and deliver 150 horsepower. The trials for the trucks, which have 14-foot beds, will last one year. Daimler hasn't released a whole lot of details on further development or sales possibilities of the model. The hybrid version of the Fuso Canter debuted in the fall of 2009 and was under the Mitsubishi badge at the time, even though it was 85-percent owned by Daimler. That model is said to boost fuel economy relative to conventionally-powered trucks by as much as 23 percent. Take a look at Daimler's press release on the Fuso Canter E-Cell and its Portugal testing below. Zero emission and quiet as a whisper: eight new Fuso Canter E-Cell in customer trials Eight Fuso Canter E-Cell in real-life testing with customers for a year Locally emission-free and virtually noiseless Powerful, high-torque electric motor Battery capacity ensures range of more than 100 km Highlight of anniversary year for the Canter assembly plant in Tramagal, Portugal The drive system to suit: Canter Euro VI, Canter Eco Hybrid and Canter E-Cell The cleanest technology, whatever the application: Fuso is a pioneer of "green" drive systems in the commercial vehicle sector. The Daimler subsidiary in Japan is the home of Daimler Trucks' centre of competence for hybrid technology, and with this experience behind it, Fuso has also been responsible for developing the new battery-electric-powered "Zero Emission" Canter E-Cell. The first all-electric light-duty truck, produced in a small series, runs emission-free and almost silently. The Canter E-Cell for Europe is manufactured at the Tramagal plant in Portugal. Eight vehicles have now been released for customer trials.
