Overview 1999 was the last and probably the best year for the W140 S-class coupe (or C140). The Bruno Sacco lines still look great today, and the quality of materials throughout is unmatched by anything today short of Bentley or Rolls Royce. The best feature of the car has to be its powertrain -- the legendary M119 V8 matched with a surprisingly lively 5-speed automatic. I'm always looking for an excuse to dip into the throttle and bring the revs past 3000. There's plenty of grunt, even for such a heavy car, and the sound is magnificent. The car excels at long highway trips and, amazingly, can travel up to 600 miles on a single tank of fuel. Ownership History I am the car’s third owner, having purchased it in July 2012 from the estate of a Chicago attorney, who drove the car sparingly for about 10 years. He originally bought it from the local Mercedes-Benz dealer (Knauz Continental Autos) as a Starmark certified pre-owned car with 14,800 miles. (I am not familiar with the original owner.) Condition Body: 9 out of 10 The car is completely original and has never been in an accident nor had any paint or bodywork of any kind. The Midnight Blue paint shines with a depth that only older Mercedes-Benz vehicles seem able to achieve. The only flaws are: a few light scratches on the trunk lid, some small paint chips around the door edges, and a dime-sized door ding on the driver’s side door. Interior: 9.5 out of 10 The Blue Nappa interior looks and even smells new, and everything works perfectly -- with the exception of the driver’s seat, which sometimes doesn’t want to fold forward if you are letting someone into the back (passenger seat works fine) ; also, if you squint, you can see that the driver’s seat has some very slight fading on the bolster nearest to the door. Mechanical: 10 out of 10 The car runs and drives like a brand-new car. It’s an outstanding highway cruiser and gets as much as 25 miles per gallon on long trips. I recently took the car to Oregon and back without any problems whatsoever. Service History The car has received all of its scheduled maintenance at Mercedes-Benz dealerships. The only repair I’ve had to make during my ownership was to have broken plastic gear in the passenger seat replaced; I had this work done at German Motor Car Service in Santa Monica. I put new Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires on when I bought the car; they have approximately 10,000 miles on them now. The car comes with all of its original books and manuals as well as two keys. Pricing Kelley Blue Book places the private party value for this car in excellent condition at $14,125. In the interest of a quick sale, I am pricing the car at $13,500 or best offer. Reason for Sale I’m selling the car now because it’s currently just a weekend car for me, and I would like to use the funds to offset the costs of some recent home improvement work. |

Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA gets official ahead of Shanghai
Thu, 18 Apr 2013Mercedes-Benz has something special planned for the Shanghai Motor Show - a new CUV concept that we first saw when it leaked on the internet yesterday. The GLA Concept compact crossover will hit the show stand with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque mated to a seven-speed dual clutch transmission and 4Matic all-wheel drive, and likely previews a new production model that we've already spotted testing.
That's not news, but the laser-based headlamps with video-projecting capability certainly are. Mercedes-Benz says the array can project any image or video onto a screen, which is handy since there are a pair of HD cameras mounted to the roof rack. The cameras can be removed and taken with you on all sorts of adventures. The lamps also feature a visible cooling system comprised of a series of fans, and the system helps give the headlights their "sparkle" effect.
Step indoors and the GLA offers up the interior of a high-quality crossover, complete with contrasting leather and plenty of aluminum. The automaker says the cabin was inspired by saddle craftsmanship with "more than 65 feet of hand-stitched seams to hold the raw edges of the leather together."
Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Mercedes also under diesel emissions scrutiny
Sat, Oct 10 2015The controversy over Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal isn't limited to the US. In Europe, where diesel engines are far more popular, the issue is shining a harsh light on the NEDC emissions test. As already known, the evaluation does a poor job of reflecting real-world production of NOx, and it appears a significant number of automakers are affected. The Guardian in the UK has been reporting on real-world test results from a company called Emissions Analytics. After the latest round of checks, vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Mazda and Mitsubishi were found to generate far more NOx than they should. The newspaper also published similar results for Renault, Nissan, Hyundai, Fiat, Volvo, Jeep, Citroen, VW, and Audi. On average, the figures are about four times over the limit of producing the pollutant. Unlike VW and its defeat device, these automakers aren't actually breaking the rules. The vehicles perform up to the NEDC lab test for emissions, but those results simply aren't translated to the street. "The VW issue in the US was purely the trigger which threw light on a slightly different problem in the EU - widespread legal over-emissions," Nick Molden from Emissions Analytics said to The Guardian. A big fight to decide the future of this issue appears to be on the horizon. Automakers claim that they can't meet the next round of tightening emissions regulations and are asking for compromises. Although, spokespeople for Mercedes and Honda told The Guardian that the brands would be in favor of the stricter rules. Meanwhile, some European governments began backtracking their support of diesels well before this scandal came to light. The added scrutiny certain hasn't helped the future of the oil-burner.

Watch Jay Leno's Garage work on a Porsche 911 and others
Mon, Apr 18 2016Jay Leno doesn't just own a bunch of cars – he restores them. (Or has people who restores them, at any rate.) For this latest video, he's showing us some of the projects he and his team are currently working on. The tour-de-garage starts with a 1953 Cunningham that had been in storage since '68, complete with a copper grille ready for plating and a 331 Hemi V8. Jay says that every one of the cars that Briggs Cunningham made is still on the road – but that's just one of the dozen or so projects Jay and company are working on. There's a suitably brown '71 Porsche 911 T in near-original condition having sat untouched parked underground in Beverly Hills for decades, and a '58 Chrysler Imperial convertible once driven by Clark Gable and Frank Sinatra, and now getting a brake upgrade. There's a Volvo 122 wagon that's been stripped down, media-blasted, and powder-coated, a thousand-horsepower Rolls-Royce, a 1960 Nash Metropolitan, a supercharged Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman, and a 1914 Detroit Electric. And those are just the four-wheeled automobiles. Over in the two-wheeler section there's a pair of Brough Superiors, a BSA, an Indian, and a custom racing sidecar that Jay's mechanic Bernard is working on. In short, Jay Leno's Garage isn't just one where vehicles are kept – it's one where vehicles are brought back to life.
