| Yes, I put another 1000 miles on the old girl since the last listing, and lowered the price $500. If you wanted a gas car you really should move up to a the reliability of this diesel. You won't be disappointed! Mercedes 5 Cylinder Turbo diesel starts right up and does not smoke on start up. Never driven on Ohio salted winter roads. This car is driven everyday in the summer. It was painted prior to the turn of the century with the new base coat clear coat. The windshield was also replaced. It is stored indoors during the winters here in Ohio. It has always maintained by a local Mercedes shop since 1993, but I did the oil changes. The engine was entirely rebuilt in March 99 by this shop at 142,000. New pistons, fitted in sleeve sets, rings included. Crank polished and turned. New rod and main bearings. Injectors and glow plugs replaced with new. After the rebuild and 10,000 miles I switched to Shell Rotella Synthetic oil. It runs very well on Blended WVO. The blended fuel saves about 50% in fuel costs. It can run on diesel or blended fuel with no other modifications all day long. I have installed an auxiliary fuel pump and filter to accommodate the Blended fuel. Shortly after this spare no expense rebuild the injection pump was replaced with a brand new one. The turbocharger was sent to Hard-line Turbo for an update and rebuild. I will give you many extra parts as I dismantled another car just like this one. Spare turbo diesel, transmission and anything else I could salvage from the other car is yours. Any parts left behind will be scrapped. Another local shop did frame restoration on the control arms on all four wheels this last summer. It needs a few things like a front bumper snubber and rear seats stuffed, but the upholstery is real nice. Driver and passenger seats are fine too. There is area where there are some smaller than a dime rust bubbles, that I noticed when taking pictures. Rust spot is on the drivers rear wheel quarter panel, and it shows in the pictures. The climate control has been upgraded to the newer trouble-free system, shown in the under hood pictures. This is about a $600 upgrade option. It is a very sound vehicle and has saved us tremendous amount of money. In my town where there are stop signs at every block, it still gets 25 mpg. Using half of this as WVO pushes it to over 50 paid for miles per gallon. On the highway, depending on the speed you can get 30 and 35 here in Ohio. It is not light by any means. It tips the scales up over 4000 pounds with passengers, so you can feel safe and protected in it. Not like today’s plastic cars. All the maintenance records from 1993 will show the care it has had by the same shop. The lucky new owner will be getting a nice car along with how to instructions for simple WVO blending that will save over half of your fuel costs. Taken care of this vehicle will last another 30 years! Most Mercedes parts are still available today unlike other vehicles. It is very simple mechanical fuel injection without all the complex emissions controls. This motor was called the million-mile motor. Other components for example, the shifter bushings were just replaced with new ones still available from Mercedes. The rear door actuator for the power locks was replaced and the parts were sent the next day. Just to mention a few recent things. Try getting a Ford, Dodge, or Chevrolet part for something over thirty years old. That may require a lot more effort and may take weeks to find if you are lucky. Step over to some German technology that was way ahead of its time. Enjoy peace of mind and economy at the same time. This is also a great candidate for pure WVO grease car kits. I just sold a VW that runs on straight WVO with the switching system. Although the blended fuel is easier and simple for my wife to use. There are no switches to remember while driving. Filler up with blend and drive, or use diesel if you do not have blend available. Any other questions please ask. I will be happy to pick any purchaser at the airport either Cleveland, Ohio, or Pittsburg, Pa. |

Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG officially teased in mini video
Mon, 15 Jul 2013The followup to the Mercedes-Benz S550, the S63 AMG, will sport a biturbocharged V8 that will likely turn out around 550 horsepower. The new engine is probably the 5.5-liter, biturbocharged V-8 that's been popping up in everything from the ML63 to the E63 AMG. The front fascia is more aggressive, which shouldn't come as a surprise, while a meaty exhaust setup can be found out back.
We managed to pick all that up from a short, 17-second video posted by MB. The original video that unveiled the S63 AMG has since been pulled down, making this YouTube clip the best look we now have at the new super sedan, at least until the Germans give up the goods for real.
Be sure to check out the video below, along with our original posting on the S63 AMG.
2019 BMW M850i xDrive: How it compares on paper with other GT coupes
Wed, Jul 11 2018Although the hot new vehicles for the rich seem to mainly comprise SUVs and supercars, the neglected luxury GT coupe segment is starting to see some life again. The latest to add a spark to this set is the 2019 BMW M850i xDrive. It goes on sale later this year, and revives the 8 Series that's been dead since the 1990s. The first version available to Americans will be one with a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8, with other versions likely following. Before it launches, we wanted to get a lay of the grand-touring land and see how the new BMW stacks up to the competition in performance, practicality and price. While some of these models have higher-performance or more-affordable iterations, we picked the versions that would be the closest match to this 8 Series model. They include the 2019 Lexus LC 500, 2018 Mercedes-Benz SL 550, 2018 Mercedes-Benz S 560 Coupe and the 2018 Maserati GranTurismo. We will also provide some short summaries on our experiences with these cars, but to get a full picture of each model, be sure to check out their full reviews. And if you want to compare any of these cars with models you don't see here, be sure to try out our car comparison tool. Engines, transmissions and performance On paper, the BMW M850i xDrive is clearly the performer of the group. It has the most power and torque at 523 horsepower and 553 pound-feet. Coupled with all-wheel-drive and an eight-speed automatic, the car is able to overcome its relatively portly 4,478-pound curb weight to hit 60 mph in a scant 3.6 seconds. That's more than half a second quicker than the lightest car in the group, the Mercedes-Benz SL550, which weighs 4,012 pounds. The other three vehicles are in the low- to mid-4-second range to 60 mph. Though the Maserati is the slowest to 60 mph, it does boast the highest top speed of 186 mph. The M850i and SL 550 are electronically limited to 155 mph, while the Lexus is limited to 168 mph. The Mercedes S 560 has the lowest top speed at an electronically limited 130 mph. View 52 Photos Of interest is that there's a 50/50 split among these cars between using a pair of turbos, and having none at all. The BMW and Mercedes resort to forced induction, whereas the Lexus and Maserati choose to stay naturally aspirated. This is likely why the Germans break 500 pound-feet of torque, while the others don't make it to 400. Also interesting is the spread of gear quantity. The Maserati has just six ratios to choose from, and the Lexus has a whopping 10.
Mercedes-Benz releases US-spec 2014 Sprinter details
Mon, 06 May 2013Last week, Mercedes-Benz released the details for the updated 2013 Sprinter intended for global markets, but this week it has announced what changes are being made to the US-spec version of the van for the 2014 model year, including the Freightliner model. As expected, most of the changes made to the European model will be present on the 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter when it goes on sale in the US, which is expected to be this fall.
The biggest difference between the Sprinter announced last week and the one headed to our shores is what is found under the hood. While European Sprinters will come with diesel engines and offer the availability of a supercharged four-cylinder gasoline or CNG engine, US Sprinters will still offer the 3.0-liter V6 BlueTEC diesel. This year's Sprinter now comes standard with a new base engine, the 2.1-liter four-cylinder BlueTEC diesel. This smaller engine will produce 161 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque, and will be paired to a seven-speed automatic transmission; the optional 3.0 V6 puts out 188 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, and will be mated to a six-speed auto.
Fuel economy for the new Sprinter has not been announced, but Mercedes-Benz has made numerous changes with the goal of improving efficiency. To this end you'll find a new, low-friction rear axle and the optimization for the generator, fuel pump and power steering pump.
