I bought this gorgeous 123 series coupe almost 4 years ago from the original owner . It was finished in the gorgeous color combination of Orient red ( MB color code 501 ) with Palomino color MB tex interior ( MB code 154) . I have not seen another 300CD in this color yet . It is truly stunning and when i saw it , i bought it on the spot .  I never planned on selling this car and pampered and maintained it accordingly . The original owner always garaged the car and even in the garage had a cover on it . The first 30 years have been really good to this wonderful coupe and i hope the next owner will continue to treat it the same way . With 2 young children now i just need a bigger car and  purchased a Mercedes wagon . The body of my 300cd is in perfect condition . There is no rust , no dents and no dings at all . The paint still shines like new and people are commenting on it every day . The chrome is in outstanding condition all around . All the rubber seals are in great shape . The interior is extremely clean . There are no rips or tears in the seats and they are still firm . The carpets are very clean , just like the headliner and the door panels . The dashboard is perfect and the wood is still like new . All the gauges and lights work the way they should . The AC works and blows from all the vents. To summarize it all , my car truly looks amazing all around . But the best thing about it is the way it drives . There are only 148k miles on it and it has always been maintained properly . There is no deferred maintenance and i could not think of anything it needs . It always starts up right away , idles the way it should and has lots of power . This 300CD is not slow at all and cruises comfortably at 90 mph all day long . It is truly a pleasure to drive in town and even more on the freeway . There are no oil leaks and the tires have about 90% left on them . This car would be a perfect candidate for a Mercedes collector or investor. Clean 123 series coupes and station wagons have been rising in value over the last few years and should continue to do so . You just do not find any clean ones with low mileage like this anymore . Another gorgeous example just sold this weekend here on Ebay for $23.000,- . My Buy it Now price of $ 16950,- is well below that , since the other car had even less miles on it . My car would also be good for somebody who would want to drive it every day and put another 300k miles on it . It drives terrific as it is and these car require very little maintenance as far as classic cars go . They are known to go for over 500k miles with the proper care . The car also comes with the records , the books pictured and even the original window sticker.  I would really prefer to sell this car here locally to somebody who could come by and see it . But i would also be willing to help with shipping arrangements should the winning bidder decide to have the car shipped . I would have no worries driving this car across country tomorrow. It is an amazing 30 year old classic car and as such it will be sold " as is " and without a warranty . Please have your funding in order and do all your " due diligence" BEFORE placing a bid . I have described this car to the best of my knowledge and after having put on 24k miles within the last 4 years. The license plates in the pictures are private plates and have been replaced with regular CA license plates already . If you have any questions , feel free to send me a note through Ebay and i will respond quickly . Thank you for looking at my auction …

Autoblog fan favorite car ads from Super Bowl XLIX

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Super Bowl XLIX is in the books, and the New England Patriots emerged victorious. Of course, if you're like us, the big game wasn't so much about the battle between the east coast and west, so much as a fight between the world's automotive advertisers. We collected and collated all of last night's new ads and put them together for you to vote on. And yes, we're limiting this year's contest to last night's new features. That's why you aren't seeing Dodge's epic Wisdom among our collection of commercials, and it's a similar story with Chevrolet's Truck Guy Focus Group series, which highlights the new Colorado. You can still vote for your favorites. We won't be closing the voting on our Super Bowl page, so while the winners and losers are correct as of this writing, it's entirely possible that there could be some changes in the rankings as time goes on. So, without any further ado, here are the winning ads based on your voting. Nissan: With Dad Fiat: Ready For Action Jeep: Beautiful Lands BMW: Newfangled Idea Mercedes-Benz: Fable NASCAR: America Start Your Engines As for those ads that failed to impact you, loyal readers, Toyota was the absolute, undisputed loser. The Japanese brand ran four ads in total – two for Toyota and two for Lexus – and all of them have negative tallies as of this writing. Lexus' Make Some Noise and Lets Play and Toyota's One Bold Choice and My Bold Dad both had very weak showings among the commercials that aired, although they weren't alone. Neither Mazda nor Kia scored particularly well, despite featuring celebrity magic act Penn and Teller and former James Bond, Pierce Brosnan, respectively. Chevrolet was the winner of the losers, as of our writing, recording the fewest downvotes for its audience-punking The Big Game ad. If you want to take a second look at the losing ads, you can head back to our Super Bowl page for the complete collection. But for now, head into Comments and let us know what you think of the results.

BMW reclaims US luxury sales crown from Mercedes

Tue, Jan 6 2015

The numbers, they are in: BMW has reclaimed the luxury-sales crown from Mercedes by a margin of 9,347 cars. Mercedes donned the king's headgear in 2013 after a strong final quarter of 2013 when the new CLA and S-Class poured out of dealerships. This year, led by the 3 Series/4 Series and X5, BMW sold 339,738 units – a 9.8-percent increase year-on-year. Mercedes, led by the C-Class and M-Class, saw its sales go up by 5.7 percent to 330,391 units. We'll have to wait a bit to see if there's another registrations-vs-sales challenge as in 2012, when BMW was anointed US luxury ruler. Behind them, a dark horse named Lexus nudged closer to the leading Teutons, selling 311,389 cars. The Japanese luxury automaker also had the biggest gain among the top three, its sales rising by 13.7 percent compared to 2013. Audi had the biggest sales of anyone among the top five, though, with a 15.2-percent gain to 182,011, which moved it a spot ahead of Cadillac; the Wreath-and-Crest brand dropped 6.5 percent to 170,750. Acura (167,843), Infiniti (117,300), and Lincoln (94,474) took the final positions. Speaking of Lincoln, sales at the once-mighty luxury marque stand as the mightiest jump of any on this list, up 15.6 percent. That's the power of Matthew McConaughey... and better cars and a new crossover, sure. So now that we're back to Round One of 2015, in case no one else has said it yet: "Ok, fight!"

Firing of M-B boss upheld

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

Ernst Lieb, the disgraced former CEO of American operations for Mercedes-Benz, will not be getting any more money from the Silver Arrow'd teat. His wrongful dismissal suit against MB's parent company, Daimler, was tossed out of a German appeals panel. This, followed the initial rejection by a lower court last year.
According to court documents acquired by Automotive News, Lieb was found to have "accepted payments of substantial value to which he - as he was aware - had no claim."
Lieb took over American operations from former CEO Paul Halata in September of 2006. Reports surfaced in October of 2011 that Lieb was dismissed from his posting at MB, with a variety of rumors swirling. Eventually, news broke that financial wrong doing was responsible for the German's firing.
