This is the one, what a dream boat!  Beautiful and fast Mercedes 190e 2.3-16.  16 valve Mercedes Cosworth from 1986.  I am the 3rd owner, have owned it for the past 12 years and it has only 55k original miles.  I bought it from the 2nd owner in 2002 and drove it more often when I first bought it but now only drive it once a month on nice days.  No winters, only the occasional sunny day.  Garage kept.  It was a third car so I just enjoyed it here and there.  It's fast and runs like a top!  

A little history about this car:  It's a 1986 and was imported brand new to the US in December of 1985.  My paperwork from the DOT says it arrived in the US on 12/28/85. I bought it from the 2nd owner.  It was the wife's car, she was a stay at home mom, and didn't use it much.  When I bought it, she had a baby's car seat in the back!  It is European with the faster engine and it shows.  It has more horsepower and it's a blast to drive.  I have a ton of paperwork with it.  Service records from the past 15 years for tune-ups, etc for around $6,000.  A lot of service was done at Mercedes of White Plains in NY. 

Condition: Great!  I'd say it is an 8 out of 10.  It's fast and runs like a top. It has a 5 speed transmission, the dogleg transmission.  The exterior is probably an 8.  It's all original paint, etc., but it has a couple chips and a couple scratches.  There is no rust and the car is extremely good but not perfect. There are some buff swirls on the rear spoiler.  The very bottom part of the side skirts have a couple spots where the black is worn off.  That's about it.  The wheels are mint, the spare wheel is mint.  They are the original factory wide wheels.  The tires only have a couple thousand miles and the spare tire has never been used.  The interior is also about an 8.  It is excellent but not perfect.  The leather seats are extremely good but there are a couple of tiny wear spots, no rips or anything.  One of the rear seat belt buckles is broken but works fine.  The window molding on the back two doors are coming up a little.  The display isn't working on the stop watch in the dash.  That's about it.  The rest is just about in excellent condition.  I believe the A/C needs a freon charge.   The radio and rear speakers were updated in the early 2000s but I have the original beckers radio if you want it.  I forgot to picture it.  All gauges work great.  Dash is nice.  It has an AMG steering wheel which  was on it when it was imported to the US.  It has the original manuals and tools.  No leaks.

I bought the car because it was in excellent shape with very few miles.  I did a carfax when I purchased it in 2002 and I still have it.  It's clean with no issues.  I can provide a copy if you email me.  The car is extremely nice.  I have the NY state title.  I'm not a mechanic so I don't know all the technical stuff but please email me with questions and I'll try to answer them as best as I can.  This is a beauty!!!  And there is no reserve so the highest bid wins!  The car is located in Amherst, NH.  Feel free to email if you want to see it/test drive it.

Again, please email me with any questions.  I'll try to answer them as best I can and can take more pictures upon request.  Thank!  I've never had it professionally waxed or detailed.  I'm sure it would look fantastic if it was.   


The vin is WDB2010341F175434.  I posted pictures of the clean carfax.  I also have a copy of the carfax from 2002.

2015 Mercedes-Benz S550 PHEV offers the best of both worlds it's ready to conquer

Thu, Nov 20 2014

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class just keeps growing – both in terms of dimensions and in terms of variants. Nevermind the S-Class Coupe for a moment and focus only on the sedan: in North America alone, you can get the big Benz in S550, S600, S63 and S65 spec, and at the Los Angeles Auto Show this year, Daimler has rolled out the new Maybach version as well. But if it's a more environmentally friendly way to woosh around town in serene luxury that you're after, you'll want to look at the new S550 Plug-In Hybrid. Joining Daimler's growing range of battery-powered models alongside the E400 Hybrid, B-Class Electric Drive and Smart ED (the latter soon to be replaced by an all-new version), the S550 PHEV is the German automaker's first plug-in hybrid. It was first announced over a year ago and made its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, but now the US-spec car is making its North American debut in LA. Promising "the performance of a V8 and the fuel consumption of a compact model," the S550 PHEV pairs a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 to an 80-kW electric motor, the S550 PHEV packs a combined 436 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque to reach 62 in just 5.2 seconds, top out at 130 miles per hour or drive up to 20 miles on electric mode alone. On the European combined cycle, it'll return an impressive 84 miles per gallon, all the while never skimping on the luxury. Scope it out in our gallery of photos from the show floor in LA and delve into the details in the press release below. First PLUG-IN HYBRID with a star: S550 PLUG-IN HYBRID The new Mercedes-Benz S550 PLUG-IN HYBRID blends an ultramodern hybrid drive configuration with the unique innovations and the luxurious equipment and appointments of the S-Class. The luxury sedan impresses with exceptional dynamism and efficiency. Thanks to standard pre-entry climate control it also offers unique climate comfort. The first certified three-liter luxury sedan in the world is a further milestone on the road to emission-free mobility. "The S550 PLUG-IN HYBRID is the first luxury sedan with the performance of a V8 and the fuel consumption of a compact model. The greatest challenge in this is to translate efficiency into superior performance. In this respect there is a highly interesting parallel with our successful Formula 1 racing car, which likewise has a turbocharged V6 engine and a high-tech hybrid drive," says Prof. Dr.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class 'bleeding seat' problem resurfaces [UPDATE]

Wed, Feb 11 2015

UPDATE: We received the following statement from Mercedes-Benz: "In rare instances, we incorrectly ordered some of the replacement parts for the seating surfaces. The approved replacement parts will not demonstrate the previous symptoms." It appears Mercedes-Benz has another problem with "bleeding seats" in 2015 C-Class sedans. As we reported in January, an oily residue has been appearing on some versions of the C-Class with man-made MB Tex upholstery, making it look as though the seats were grimy or "bleeding." Mercedes issued a technical service bulletin to its dealers to remedy the problem, but now we're hearing the fix isn't complete. Small parts of the seats – the rear bolsters and a piece below the center armrest – weren't replaced during service and then developed the oily reside again, a source tells us. This occurred within a few days of their service appointment. The dealer followed Mercedes' instructions, our source said, and their C-Class appears to have been one of the first cars fixed. "I'm absolutely flabbergasted at this point ... The new C-Class is such a good car. This is just a shame," they told Autoblog. The bleeding seat issue appears to affect US-built C-Class models with the MB Tex vinyl and possibly other interiors. The bleeding often occurs when a car has been sitting in the cold and then heats up quickly. The number of cars affected is unclear, though the C-Class owners have been vocal in the MBWorld.org forum. At the time of our original report, Daimler AG, parent of Mercedes-Benz USA, said it was aware of the issue and that no injuries had been reported. The residue usually washes off with soap and water. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration had no recalls, complaints or investigations recorded about the issue as of Wednesday. The fix at the dealer involves changing out the headrest and seat covers, except for a part of the passenger seat that needs to be calibrated by the factory, according to the bulletin. The C-Class is a critical car for Mercedes as it battles BMW, Lexus and others for supremacy in the ultra-competitive luxury segment. The C-Class, which launched last fall, is moving upmarket as Mercedes reshuffles its lineup with the addition of the CLA sedan. The C-Class was the company's best-selling model in January with volume of 6,236 units.

VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.
