Hello, you are bidding on a 1998 ML 320 with approximately 223,650 miles. Please read full description before bidding. This has been my regular car for the past 2.5 years. Former owner was a dealer's father in Metro Detroit. He put upgrades into the car from the ML55 including front grill/bumper, rear bumper, side moldings, mirrors, front and rear headlamps and also ML55 alloy wheels. A new engine was swapped in at approximately 195,000 miles and currently has ~100,000 miles on it. This was all done to give the SUV's appearance of a 2003-2004 model or so. The interior is very clean and the leather seats are in great shape for its age. The cosmetic problems are slight rusting of the passenger front fender as well as slight rusting on front wheel wells on either side. Overall not bad at all for a car of this age. Also, I was backed into by a parallel parker and the front bumper was severely cracked and is slightly detached at each side (see photo). Main reason I am selling is that recent repairs have arisen that I can not afford. The power steering is completely shot/gone out and needs new front lower ball joints to the tune of $3200. The $3200 quote I received was for new power steering rack and coupling, o-ring, power steering pump, power steering reservoir, power steering reservoir gasket, and front lower ball joints. Car can be driven but as expected with vehicle's weight, takes a lot of force and requires a bit more than usual turning radius and some muscle to get it going (especially from a stopped position while turning).

I have been searching the forums a bit and was told that if you know what you're doing, parts are not that expensive and can be fixed on the cheap. Problem is I do not know what I'm doing and can not afford the $3200 hit. So I suppose this is a sale that can either be repaired and/or junked out. Hate to sell this car as I've had some good years with it and it is an absolute tank. I have driven it mostly highway miles to my place of employment and multiple trips back and forth to family in Michigan. Great in the snow and provides a good ride along with cargo. In February of this year $1500 was spent on new front inner tie rods along with a new serpentine belt, tensioner and idler pulley. Truck has been on synthetic its entire life.

I am just outside the Chicagoland area in Oak Park. Buyer agrees to send deposit via PayPal for $400 of the auction price within 1 day of auction end. Rest due in cash when picking up. Please message me if you have any questions or would like to see the car. Its my first time doing anything like this on eBay so I hope I have provided everything you need on this auction listing. Thanks!

Aston Martin and Daimler continue talks on SUV project, CEO required

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

The Aston Martin Lagonda SUV concept revealed at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show didn't earn the plaudits the company is used to when it reveals new models, and it has lived an uncertain life ever since. Thought to have been scrapped along with the entire revival of the Lagonda brand, then thought to have been resurrected due to Chinese, Middle Eastern and Russian demand, another year passed before we heard more definitive talk about an Aston Martin expansion when AutoCar reported that the Lagonda could be built on one of Mercedes-Benz's AMG SUV platforms.
A report in Automotive News Europe indicates plans have gotten serious, its unnamed sources saying that the English carmaker is talking to Daimler "to extend their cooperation to building an SUV." Neither Daimler, Aston Martin nor Investindustrial, the managing partner among Aston Martin's ownership consortium, would comment. But with Investindustrial having pledged to expand the range, competitors like Bentley, Maserati and Lamborghini getting into the SUV racket and clear demand from current and future customers, it's easy to believe Aston Martin is working hard to put the pieces together.
One further potential bump on the road to an Aston SUV is the company's search for a new CEO. Ulrich Bez relinquished to top spot at the company at the end of 2013, and Aston reportedly will not finalize its model strategy without a new CEO in place.

Mercedes calls CLA 'best launch in 20 years' as it warns dealers of tight supplies

Fri, 13 Dec 2013

It's still in the early going, but it's looking more and more like the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA is a verifiable home run for the German brand. According to a new report from Bloomberg, the new small car isn't just widening the sales gap between Mercedes and BMW, it's attracting a new, younger breed of customers into the brand's showrooms. But that early success is straining supplies of the turbocharged four-door.
Dealers have been warned that the first half of 2014 will see limited supplies for CLA, with a letter to dealers indicating that "tight inventories and low days supply" will exist from February through June, despite the car's Kecskemét, Hungary plant running at full tilt.
"This is our best launch in 20 years," said Steve Cannon, the US boss for Mercedes. "The CLA has been a phenomenal success right out of the gate." The numbers certainly support that. We reported in early October that Mercedes moved 2,300 CLAs in its first week on sale, and now Bloomberg is saying CLA sales were almost singlehandedly responsible for Benz's November sales gains. Mercedes' annual sales are up 14 percent through the November, and it's enjoying a healthy 7,600-car lead over BMW.

German carmakers recall 630,000 diesel vehicles in Europe

Fri, Apr 22 2016

Mercedes, Opel, Porsche, and Volkswagen will recall over 630,000 cars in Europe, according to reports Friday. No diesel car has been able to get under the legal emissions limit in real-world driving, according to a German government investigation. While only Volkswagen Group has been using a specific "defeat device", other carmakers have been playing with their exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. Depending of the manufacturer, the systems have been cut off at a certain temperature. In a specific test cycle the systems operate to fulfill the legal requirements, but in everyday use the limits are exceeded. According to the magazine Der Spiegel, the supplier Bosch is behind this programming and has provided it to all German automakers. The mentioned carmakers have announced recalls, but many other manufacturers are also mentioned by name in the report, including Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, Dacia, Fiat, Ford, Hyundai, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Nissan, Renault, and Suzuki. PSA Group, which produces Peugeot, Citroen, and DS cars, declared yesterday that its offices were raided following an emissions investigation.
