Mercedes Benz 190e 2.3-16v Cosworth on 2040-cars
Littleton, Colorado, United States
|
Up for sale is the ubiquitous 190E 2.3-16V Cosworth- the car that started the performance tech race between german car builders. I've decided to sell my 1986 MB Cozzie as it has been sitting for some time without any attention. I bought this car as a project to restore, but my attention was consumed by another car. I've decided to let this pony out of my stable. Selling for less than I bought it for as I'm pretty motivated to sell. This would make a cheap parts car or a good candidate for restore, which is what I initially had in mind.
The car is originally from California, great body, and has a clean title. It does have a loose chain guide, which causes some noise at idle.. The top end of the motor does leak a bit of oil, probably a valve cover gasket, as moisture can be seen on the seam. Car passed smog in '13 in California. Runs and drives- when I bought it, I drove it all the way from CA to CO. Added about a quart of oil after the 19 hour drive. The car is black/black, the paint is a bit oxidized as its previous owner didn't garage it. Car was resprayed some odd years ago with a poor black overspray. It does have a Euro headlight option and is lowered on some aftermarket springs. Sunroof and power functions work fine with the exception of the lap timer and voltage meter. Strong oil pressure, starts right up! Car is probably worth more than it will sell for in parts... so if you have the space/time to part it out, that may be a good revenue stream. I, unfortunately, do not have the time nor space for that. The car is lowered and during my most recent drive, a deep gutter kicked a piece of trim off the passenger side. Broke some plastic clips that hold it in place. I still have the piece of trim. My loss is your gain with this exceedingly difficult-to-find collectable. Selling cheap as you'll google that even in "project" condition, these go for 7-8K. Google it! Yes, it is automatic, but I was planning on doing a AMG V8 swap in it. Better not to disturb a rare collectible anyway :) No reserve- somebody fly in, drive home. |

2014 Mercedes SL and SLK add small expansion to Takata airbag recall
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Mercedes-Benz is the latest automaker to be affected by Takata's massive airbag recall. The company has announced a voluntary recall campaign on a small number of model-year 2014 SLK- and SL-Class roadsters.
In Mercedes' case, 300 vehicles are affected, 200 of which are in the hands of customers. According to spokesperson Donna Boland, the affected roadsters were built between March and April of this year.
The issue, which is apparently the fault of one of Takata's subcontractors, rests with some improperly installed fasteners, which could keep the airbag from performing the way it's supposed to. According to Boland, Mercedes isn't sure what, if any, injuries the recalled airbags could cause, but simply claims there's an increased risk in these particular vehicles. There's been no reported instances of the faulty airbags deploying on a customer and the original issue was found in a production test.
Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.
Detroit Auto Show prankster 'damages' hundreds of thousands of dollars of cars
Thu, Jan 29 2015Obtaining credentials for an auto show is generally a pretty selective process, especially at one of the world's premier shows, like Geneva, Los Angeles or Detroit. That didn't stop online prankster Dennis Roady from getting credentialed for the 2015 North American International Auto Show on behalf of a Russian YouTube channel to cover the show. While he wasn't brought on strictly to cause mischief, Roady couldn't help but have some fun at the expense of the product specialists during the serious business of covering the show. He took to an app called "Dude, Your Car," which allows Apple iPhone users to take snaps of vehicles and then edit them to add some serious, but fake, dents and scratches. Naturally, the pranking session was caught on video, where you can enjoy the sight of poor product specialists freaking out over damage to vehicles ranging from the Mercedes-Maybach S600 to the Audi R8 and a lovely Dodge Challenger.
