Up for sale is a timeless classic diesel station wagon! My brother bought this car at the end of the summer from an estate auction in Texas via Ebay as a surprise for his wife . The vehicle was driven back here to Denver from Texas without a hitch. His wife loved the looks of the car and the idea of owning one, but going from a late-model Volvo V70R to a 30 year old diesel wagon is a drastic change to say the least. My brother had to move to Oregon for work and he left the old Mercedes behind asking me to sell it for him. I am listing this thing at NO RESERVE so the high bidder will own this bullet-proof wagon!
When the weather was warm the Mercedes would start up after a few cranks without a hitch. Now that it has sat for awhile and the weather is cold, it cranks for a longer time and needs a jump most of the time as well. It does ALWAYS start eventually. The turbo spools up well and it has good acceleration for an old turbo diesel Benz. It also just passed Colorado emissions recently as well. Like any old German car, the motor is wet with oil seepages. The transmission shifts through all gears including reverse as it seemingly should. The brakes work strongly on the first application after driving for a time, but if you brake again after that the power function seems weak. The e-brake does not hold at all. The tires are old and could use replacement/balancing. I also heard an occasional squeak from the right front while driving. It may need a strut? I am not sure.
The odometer was not rolling any miles when I drove the car today so just assume it does not work. The person in Texas who sold it claimed that the AC worked, but it has been too cold for me to verify that and my brother didn't know. The climate control with the fan etc. does work as far as I can tell. The drivers side front window goes up and down fine, but the passenger front window only goes down 1/3 of the way and stops. The two rear windows work intermittently. The faceplate for the aftermarket CD player is missing. The horn on the steering wheel does not work thus the reason for the black horn button seen on the left drivers kick panel in the photos which does work.
The exterior paint is weathered from the Texas sun. It has a couple of surface rust spots as seen in the photos as well as a dent on the right front fender. One of the rear back up lenses is broken. Please see the pictures for exterior condition. The windshield does have a small star on the far passenger side halfway up. As far as the interior, the dash has a molded cover on it so I am not sure about the condition of it. There are cracks in the drivers seat as seen in the photos. The front door panel map pockets have loose clips on the front portion. The passenger front and rear seats are in good shape as well as the carpets/floor mats. It also has two keys and owners manuals.
I have a clear title in my possession so I am not sure why it is showing salvage on autocheck? It does not show any accidents on autocheck so I am not sure how the title could be salvage. I just want to be up front that I do have a clear title in hand, but let you know that the autocheck record does say salvage.
I have described this vehicle to the best of my ability and knowledge. It is being sold as is with no warranty or guarantee of any kind expressed or implied. Feel free to contact me to see the car in person or set up an inspection from a third party. I will assist in any way possible. This vehicle is not for someone who is not OK with quirks of old German cars. You can come pick up the vehicle in person, or set up shipping. All pick up/transportation arrangements must be made by the buyer. I will get the vehicle started for the buy or transporter when it is being picked up. If you need me to pick you up from Denver International Airport, I am more than happy to do so. A non-refundable $250 deposit is due with 48 hours of the auction end. Do not bid unless you intend to buy. The full balance is due, and vehicle must be picked up within 7 days of the auction end. The high bidder will own this vehicle. I have a clear signed off title in my hand ready to go. Feel free to contact me with any questions and I will answer them to the best of my ability.Thanks for looking!

Mercedes giving SL a nose job
Tue, Dec 9 2014Mercedes tends to keep its SL roadster around longer than most models. The previous fifth-generation machine was launched in 2001, underwent a facelift in 2009 and stuck around until 2012. That's when the current model was introduced, and before it's replaced, Benz is expected to roll out another facelifted version. And that seems to be exactly what we're looking at here. Expected to arrive sometime in 2016 as a 2017 model, the updated SL will likely feature revised styling front and rear (along with updated interior equipment). This prototype appears to be wearing headlights from the new S-Class Coupe, which don't fit precisely, but then Daimler still has a couple of years to get everything just right.
Mercedes goes boating again with G63 AMG-inspired Cigarette
Wed, 06 Feb 2013Cigarette Racing has another Mercedes-Benz AMG-themed boat headed out to sea. After The SLS AMG-inspired 46-foot Rough Rider in 2010 and the C63 AMG Black Series-inspired 50-foot Marauder in 2012, this year's Miami Boat Show will introduce the 42-foot Huntress, theme provided by the G63 AMG.
The latest Cigarette homage is less overly racy than the ones before, befitting a watercraft modeled off a performance SUV, but don't let the looks fool: there are five Mercury Racing Verado 350SCi outboard engines, each one of them packing a supercharged inline six-cylinder with, natch, 350 horsepower. Those 1,750 horses will be good for 78 miles per hour when you've got some saltwater underneath you.
If you're in South Florida this week, Booth B-23 at the Miami Convention Center could be your best place to see it. Otherwise, like the 536-hp G63 AMG, it could be hard to catch. There's a press release with more information below.
Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury fully revealed, tea set and all
Tue, Apr 24 2018Mercedes has officially unveiled its Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury concept following a leak of most of the details last week. As we learned last week, the unusual looking sedan-SUV crossbreed is fully electric with four motors producing a whopping 750 horsepower. Combined with an 80 kWh battery, Mercedes estimates it should have a range of over 200 miles on the European test cycle. It also can handle extremely fast charging from DC chargers outputting 350 kW. Mercedes claims this allows it to gain 60 miles of range in 5 minutes. But there are a number of interesting details that weren't leaked. Many of them have to do with the car's Chinese inspiration, which is perhaps not that surprising for a car that makes its debut in China. The body style is the first influence, which Mercedes says combines the sedan and SUV, the best-selling car classes in the country. On the inside, there are a pair of cues inspired by China. The first is the ebony wood trim that Mercedes calls "Magic Wood." The company says it's very similar to that used in Chinese furniture. In the back, between the two highly adjustable white leather seats with rose-gold stitching, is a complete tea set. And not only does it contain all the containers for tea, but it actually has a variety of teas on offer. They're there to be used in conjunction with the car's relaxation modes that combine lighting, music and scents to set the mood. It's hard to say whether this concept will spawn a production model, since the body style is unlike any currently offered by Mercedes-Benz. But with the crossover SUV market staying hot, and competitors such as Audi and BMW bringing out extra-large SUVs, we wouldn't be surprised if Mercedes eventually offers at least a Maybach-level version of its GLS-Class, if not its own model.
