Up for sale is my Mercedes 190D with the larger 2.5 diesel engine and 5 speed transmission. To me this is the finest combination of drivetrain options with the added speed, economy and control that the manual provides and the efficiency and durability of the legendary 5 cylinder diesel engine. For more about the 190 search kenrockwell 190D, he did a thorough writeup/ tribute to this awesome line of cars. This particular example has been well cared for as far as fluid changes and regular maintenance though it is in need of some things to bring it up to snuff. It has a clean interior but with the requisite dash cracks and drivers seat edge wear. Cut on drivers door arm rest and the seatback netting is removed. It comes with heated orthopedic air seats. The heated seat function works the air adjustable ortho seats worked fine until the trunk lock stopped working, taking out the central locking with it- so that should be addressed. The transmission is buttery smooth and works perfectly, some occasional clutch chatter when cold, then operates normally. I had this checked and the mechanic thought the clutch was fine. It has been showing this identical behavior for the 60k I have driven it. Engine runs out well and doesn't burn oil. Passenger side front spring perch needs to be replaced at some point soon. One headlight has a chip, replacement light included. Rust repair needed where the jack points are. Exhaust from manifold up to muffler section is a few seasons old and in good shape. Analog clock keeps perfect time without any drift. Trailer hitch and wiring loom with 1 7/8 ball. Tows nice. Fan blower motor and speed switch was just replaced as was the igniton lock, both common problems. Shocks are OEM Bilstein comfort and about 4 years old. Tires are matching Avid S33 LRR and have about 40% left or so. Heat works great, ac does not but is complete, probably needs a charge. Cruise control does not work but is complete. Stereo CD is a nice Clarion DB175MP with external jack for your ipod or whatever. 50w x4. One of the JBL speakers is crackly and may be blown. Sunroof stopped working 2 days ago! Arggh. I hear the switch motor clicking so it is getting power to it. Spring in drivers seat bottom is broken. Comes with Haynes service manual and the items pictured including 4 snows mounted on sepated mercedes rims. 2 of the snowtires are good with plenty of tread left two of them are worn. Door checks need service/replacement. Car drives well around town and has that solid Mercedes feel. On the highway it is a little floaty with a corkscrew type motion when you hit a bump. Still corners on rails coming off of the ramp. Paint has been touched up by me and is serviceable though I would recommend a respray. Clear title and service records on hand. Oil changed every 3000 with 15/40 rotella recently switched to 5/40 synthetic. This car does not leak fluids. I recently replaced the o rings on the fuel delivery pump as they were leaking. The front lower airdam is cracked and I duck taped over it and painted it as a temp fix. I was going to rivet a piece of plastic over the crack, or replace. The radiator support is rusted, another common but minor 190 ailment. The later photos show included parts such as- two bottles of diesel purge, red bottle is power service fuel conditioner(always used), front wheel bearing (bought two only one side needed replacing) tie rod and ball joint (shop wanted to use there own parts so ones installed are good) various filters, ortho seat switches, underbody panels, etc. These are all the issues/ features of the cars that I can come up with after inspecting it. I try to represent things I sell honestly, not only because it is the right way to be, but in the end it is easier for everyone. That being said, I may have missed something so please ask any and all questions. Thanks!

Mercedes was set to sell version of Nissan Titan, now Infiniti might instead
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Mercedes-Benz Titan. Mercedes-Benz Frontier. Mercedes-Benz pickup truck. None of these things roll off the tongue particularly well. We'd like to think that's the reason Daimler opted to kill the idea of rebadged Titan and Frontier pickups from corporate ally Nissan. In reality, the execution before the Frankfurt Motor Show was due to more complicated issues.
Yes, Mercedes, byword for German luxury, style and quality, would have slapped a three-pointed star on a pair of Japanese pickup trucks that have failed to resonate with consumers in the world's largest truck market. That slapping of badges isn't much of an exaggeration, at least on the outside. According to the report from Road & Track, the truck's front clip would have been tweaked, but beyond that, the sheetmetal would have been unchanged. The interior would have received a more thorough going-over by the team at Mercedes, while the suspension and noise, vibration and harshness tuning would have also received significant attention.
The trucks would have ended up being sold through the light-commercial branch of Mercedes-Benz - the same folks that will happily sell you a Sprinter van - had the deal gone through. Issues arose, though, first with the engines. Mercedes wanted a wider range of powertrains to allow it to tune models for specific markets, while Nissan said it couldn't engineer the wide variety of engines that MB wanted to drop under the hood. For the smaller truck, meanwhile, MB was interested in a hybrid or plug-in variant, according to R&T, although this was also shot down by Nissan.
UK workers strand car on island of asphalt to keep working
Wed, 06 Feb 2013Generally speaking, when you illegally park your car, you're likely to get ticketed and towed, but there is probably at least one motorist in Scotland who wishes that was the case. After workers had blocked off a portion of the parking lot for the Edinburgh Waverley railway station, the driver of this Mercedes-Benz S-Class reportedly moved some of the barriers to park in one of the empty spots.
Rather than having the vehicle towed, the work crew simply tore up the asphalt around the leaving just the one parking spot intact, and as you can see in the image above (posted to the Twitter account of Harold Norstad), the crew even built a small asphalt ramp so the car could get off its blacktop pedestal. Since this happened last week, there's no word as to whether the car was eventually moved or towed for the resurfacing work to continue.
Let this be a warning...
Mercedes has already booked 30k orders for new S-Class
Mon, 21 Oct 2013When Toyota snags 30,000 Corolla orders over a three-month span, it's entirely possible we're in the midst of a global economic collapse and that the end is nigh. That's because the scale for Toyota is so very large. Mercedes-Benz, on the other hand, operates on a much smaller scale, particularly when we talk about its higher-end models, like the S-Class.
In 2012, Mercedes sold 65,000 of its flagship sedans in Germany and the EU. That's 178 units per day, for 365 days. Based on that, you can imagine the excitement at Stuttgart when it accepted 30,000 orders for the new S-Class in just three months. That's an average of 333 per day on a continent with a notoriously shaky economy. Now, admittedly, this enthusiasm could wane as the refitted S-Class becomes more common and Mercedes achieves market saturation in Europe's many chauffeur and livery services, but Mercedes isn't choosing to look at it that way.
"The new S-Class has already jumped back into the lead in terms of new vehicle registrations in Germany and its neighboring European countries," Mercedes-Benz head of sales and marketing, Ola Kaellenius, said in a statement last week.
