Cool classic!! Low reserve!!
This Classic Mercedes is a chance for you to own a restorable Classic at a fraction of the cost of a fully restored or original condition vehicle. It is a running vehicle with good bones ready for someone to take it to the next level or simply enjoy it as is. This was my project car that I was slowly working on but we have purchase a large older home and need to focus on its renovation so my other projects must go.  I have done a lot of work to get the car running decently starting with fixing intake leaks by replacing the intake seals  as well as the injector seals. professionally cleaned the injectors and replaced various hoses etc. I also replaced the Warm up regulator with a rebuilt unit. I also replaced the fuel pump and  Fuel accumulator to cure the  hard start problems it had when I got it. Always Starts up  now. It also had the leaky exhaust pipes replaced and new catalytic converters installed.  I replace the two front tires and the rear tires have maybe 30% tread left and will need replaced soon. The brakes are strong, steering is tight. The exterior is in good condition for its age. The paint job was done by the previous owner  and is OK certainly not show worthy but looks pretty good. The interior is in decent shape. Seats were recovered by previous owner, headliner is intact and the sunroof works. 

Here are issues I know about
Carpet is a bit thin and some of the vinyl is cracked here and there including dash. 
Passenger front window regulator is off track goes down but does not like to come up.
Heater servo is non functional
Vacuum locks do not work
Antenna motor non functional 
A few areas of rust - drivers side jack point, rear passenger wheel well (see pics) all areas are repairable and the underbody, floor pans, etc are in good shape.

Like I said this is a great starting point for someone to build a really nice car for a low reserve - Look around Ebay and see what these are going for. this item is listed locally as well and I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells. 
Please ask any questions and Good Luck!

European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year

Tue, Dec 16 2014

There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.

Watch this perfectly nice Mercedes get crushed by a front-end loader

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

In a world where the YouTube hoax continues to thrive, it's hard to know what to think of this little vid, but here are the facts as we know them: a coupe that looks like a first-generation Mercedes-Benz CLK gets crushed by a giant front-end loader. There you have it.
Our questions arise in the aftermath - we know industrial resource machinery is heavy, but the Benz gets squashed so flat we wonder if someone's trying to play a joke on us. We hear that the white coupe may have been the heavy-equipment operator's foreman's car, but who knows? The on-camera interview seems awfully conveniently placed, yes? See for yourself in the video below and then leave us your thoughts in Comments.

Mercedes C350e PHEV will start at 51,000 euros

Tue, Feb 3 2015

Mercedes-Benz will start selling its C350 Plug-In Hybrid in Europe next month, for a somewhat reasonable price. The Daimler division has announced the sedan will cost about 51,000 euros ($58,000 US). Which isn't insanely expensive by Benz standards. Mercedes first showed off the model stateside at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit last month, and the specs were pretty impressive. The car delivers a combined 275 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque from its gas-powered engine and electric motor. The C350 PHEV also offers a 112 miles per gallon equivalent fuel efficiency rating (using the more lenient European driving cycle) alongside a 0-60 mile per hour acceleration time of less than six seconds. And the car can go as far as 20 miles on electricity while reaching a top speed of 130 miles per hour. Both lead-footers and tree-huggers can rejoice at that. Americans won't be that far behind their European brethren, as the model will go on sale as a 2016 model-year version in the US this fall. In the meantime, for some more information on a sedan that we think qualifies as a bit of guilt-free fun, take a look at Mercedes's press release below. Sales release for the C 350 e: Future inside Stuttgart, Feb 02, 2015 Stuttgart – As a plug-in hybrid, the new Mercedes-Benz C 350 e combines an extraordinary level of efficiency, dynamism and comfort. In both its Saloon and its Estate guise, the performance of a sports car makes it a convincing proposition, especially combined with certified consumption figures of just 2.1 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres and a range of up to 31 kilometres in all-electric mode. Both the Saloon and the Estate model are equipped with air suspension and a pre-entry climate control system as standard, delivering a unique level of driving and climate comfort. The C 350 e is available to order now from 50,961.75 euros for the Saloon and 52,627.75 euros for the Estate (prices include VAT). Both vehicles will be at dealerships from March 2015. As a plug-in hybrid, the C 350 e combines a combustion engine with an electric drive system and a high-voltage lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 6.38 kWh, which can be charged from an external power source. Thanks to an intelligent on-board charging system, this takes approximately one hour and 30 minutes at a wallbox. A charging time of around two hours is achievable via a socket.
