1985 Mercedes 190D Diesel - $5000 (Doylestown)

Dead Beat High bidder who never even looked at the car means that this great car is up for sale again. Over 100 watchers last time. Good luck, 3 days only! Bid to buy, No Reserve!

I bought this amazing 1985 Mercedes diesel a while ago on EBAY to use as a commuter car. Circumstances changed and it has been an extra car for us. We've only put about 4000 miles on it since we bought it. We have too many cars so it's time for one to go. Since I have used it so little, below I have included the original EBAY description from the time that I bought it. His description was pretty accurate, please read it carefully. There are a few things to add. The power locks do not work but all locks work manually and with the key. I replaced the radio which had a fault that was draining the battery. I also replaced the battery. When the radio was replaced, the ashtray (never used) was taken out but I still have it and it will go with the car. The interior is very nice with no cracks in the seats or dash. However, some of the small interior plastic pieces , such as the clips for the visors have cracked with age. The heater blower works but the fan selector will only move to the first position for some reason that I haven't looked into. When defrost is selected it will blow high. The car has not been garaged in my ownership. The rear brakes have begun to squeak occasionally so I bought some new brake pads but have not yet installed them. The pads will go with the car. In this era of Mercedes diesels, the transmissions shift firmly under heavy acceleration. This can be easily modulated by easing up on the accelerator pedal. Under light acceleration, you won't feel it. Remember that this is a relatively small diesel so acceleration is never really brisk. This will be a great car for the right buyer, but it is probably best suited to someone familiar with this era of Mercedes diesels. Please remember the car is almost 30 years old. I have a clear Pennsylvania title in hand. I will take additional pictures of anything you want to see and send them by email. Local inspections are welcome and encouraged. Here is the description for the seller I bought it from:

Here is a 1985 Mercedes-Benz 190D 2.2 Diesel finished in Diamond Blue over Cream Beige MB-Tex. The car was purchased through the Mercedes European delivery program in 1985 and had been used in a snowbird capacity in Longboat Key, FL generating very few miles (93,600 to date). About four years ago the car was passed from mother to son and shipped back to Connecticut where it has been rarely used as an extra car since. At this point, we could use the garage space and are not using the car enough to justify keeping it. It is in excellent condition, having been garaged and never exposed to harsh winter weather. The car runs beautifully and is very economical being a diesel.

The interior of the car is in almost perfect condition and shows very little wear. The MB-Tex is extremely durable and shows like new. The seats retain their original form and spring and are not flat. The carpets are very clean and free from major staining. The zebrano wood is also in great shape not having any cracks in the clear coat and having a deep color. There are no cracks in the dash nor any chips in the windshield. One flaw worth mentioning on the interior is that the rear left passenger's interior door trim has some shrink on the handle and rest but it does not take away from the overall excellent condition of the interior.

The exterior of the car is also in great shape with few imperfections. The paint holds a very deep shine from all the years of limited use and keeping the car garaged. I can not see any rust on any area of the car and I tried to photograph all areas prone to rust. The chrome, glass and rubber are all in great shape also being free from any major imperfections. The car does have a few bumps from being used by an elderly driver and from 25 years of use but nothing major or ugly. There are two impressions on the passenger's side lower door and fender panel which were caused from a tire tread on the highway. There is also some rash and scraping on the passenger's rear wheel well from the side of the garage door (this happened previously in the same place and was repaired). Overall, the exterior is in very good condition, the paint is extremely shiny and well preserved and it shows as a much newer car.

Mechanically, the car is also in very good condition. The car runs and drives very strong. The tires and brakes are in good condition. Within the last month the car has received a new exhaust. The blower and wiper motors have also recently been repaired. The exterior temperature gauge has become clouded and does not work and the rear windows will not work either, I have not looked into this problem. The front windows and sunroof work fine. The air conditioner has been updated to r-134a, however, it is not blowing cold air. All other items work as intended on the car.

This is an extremely clean and rare Mercedes 190D as there were not many imported and most that you find will have at least a couple hundred thousand miles and will be nowhere near this nice of shape. It has been very well kept and cared for and is in very good condition. If I had a 4th garage, I would keep the car.

On Oct-05-13 at 09:22:45 PDT, seller added the following information:

I have had several questions about rust on the car. Please remember that even though this car is in very good shape, it is almost 30 years old. Please don't expect a new car. In response to the rust questions, I made closer inspection of the car. There is some minor surface rust on the scrape above the wheel well that is described in the ad. I also noticed very small bubbles on both sides of the body at the lower rear edge of the back doors. The rocker on the driver side had a little larger paint bubble. I chipped that bubble off and the metal is solid under that chip. I can email pictures to anyone that is interested in seeing these areas. If you want the car as an economical and safe daily driver, I don't think these areas need to be fixed as they are very small and in no way effect drivability. You opinions may differ.

Dealers mobilize to protect their margins from automaker subscription services

Fri, Aug 24 2018

Six individual auto brands — Lincoln, Cadillac, Porsche, Mercedes, BMW and Volvo Â— have established or are trialing a vehicle subscription service in the U.S. Three third-party companies Â— Flexdrive, Clutch and Carma Â— run brand-agnostic subscription services. And three automakers Â— Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and General Motors Â— have also launched short-term rental services. Dealers, afraid of how these trends might affect their margins, are building political and lawmaking campaigns to protect their revenue streams. So far, three states are investigating automaker subscriptions, and Indiana has banned any such service until next year. It's certain that those three states are the first fronts in a long political and legal battle. Powerful dealer franchise laws mandate the existence of dealers and restrict how automakers are allowed to interact with customers to sell a vehicle. On top of that, Bob Reisner, CEO of Nassau Business Funding & Services, said, "Dealers and their associations are among the strongest political operators in many states. They as a group are difficult for state politicians to vote against." In California earlier this year, the state Assembly debated a bill with wide-ranging provisions to protect against what the California New Car Dealers Association called "inappropriate treatment of dealers by manufacturers." One of those provisions stipulated that subscription services need to go through dealers, but that item got stripped out when dealers and manufacturers agreed to discuss the matter further. In Indiana, Gov. Eric Holcomb signed a moratorium on all subscription programs by dealers or manufacturers until May 1, 2019, to give legislators more time to investigate. Dealers in New Jersey have taken their campaign to the state capitol, asking that the cars in subscription programs get a different classification for registration purposes. Automakers run the current subscription services and own the vehicles. Sign-ups and financial transactions happen online or through apps, leaving dealers to do little more than act as fulfillment centers to various degrees, with little legal recourse as to compensation amounts when they're called on to deliver or service a car. That's a bad base to build on for business owners who've sunk millions of dollars into their operations.

Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?

Sun, Jul 9 2023

The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric.Â Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands.Â If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) Â— unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla.Â Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor.Â Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have:Â Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners Â— those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port Â— will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 Â— eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.
