This is a truly rare find . 1985 was the last and the best year Mercedes built the wonderful 123 series station wagons . This car was built in June of 1985 making it one of the last ones . It was purchased by the original owner in 1985 and pampered by her and her husband over the last 29 years . It was always garaged, detailed and serviced meticulously . Whenever this car needed anything , it was always attended to right away . Every oil change and service was always performed on time and all the records are present . There are about 100 service records for a total of $20000,- showing continued ownership and the complete mileage history of the car . The original owner is now 92 years old and just does not drive anymore . That is , why it is for sale here on Ebay now .  This gorgeous wagon was finished in " deep Blue" ( MB color code 900 " Surf -blau" ) with blue MB-Tex interior . The body is in amazing condition and the paint still mostly shines like new with only minor scratches from 20 years of use . All the chrome pieces still shine .This wagon draws a lot of attention and we get compliments with it wherever we go . You just do not see them often that clean anymore . The interior is in wonderful condition as well . The seats are in great shape and they are still firm . The carpets are clean from the front to the back , even the cargo area still looks great . The headliner is perfect as well .  The original dash is still gorgeous and even the wood pieces are stunning . All the gauges work the way they should . The radio works and the power antenna functions properly . All components on the car right now works the way it should . Everything was always addressed right away and i can not think of anything it needs . The air-conditioning has been gone through and it blows ice cold and from all the vents . Check out the one picture , where the AC is icing up the front windshield . The climate control works wonderful as well . The whole front suspension had been rebuilt . This car has lots of power and the transmission shifts smooth . There are no funky noises and it is a true pleasure to drive . Just recently i went on a nonstop 800 mile drive without any issues . I was cruising at 85-90 miles per hour while averaging 26 miles per gallon of diesel . This car is very original and it has never been driven on bio diesel . ( it would be a very simple conversion , if you decide to do so . )  This would be a perfect car to drive every day for many more years and several hundred thousand miles without worrying about it . It would also be a perfect car for a classic car collector . It is the last year and with a one owner perfect history it should be hard to find . We would prefer to sell this car locally to somebody who could actually come out and see it . We would also be willing to help with shipping arrangements or a airport pick up for the winning bidder . If you have any questions or would like to set up an appointment to see it , please send me a note and i will get back to you promptly .  Please do have your funding in order and do all your " due diligence " BEFORE placing a bid . This is a wonderful 29 year old classic car and it will be sold " as is " and " where is " and without a warranty . I did upload many more pictures . Please check them out thoroughly , as they can describe the car better than i can .  Thank you for looking at our auction ...

AMG-powered Aston Martins still years away

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

After flirting for several years, Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin have finally tied the knot. Just don't expect to see any offspring to result from the union for at least three or four years.
This according to Auto Express, which spoke with Daimler chief Dr. Dieter Zetsche at the Frankfurt Motor Show last week. AE reports that a new range of AMG-developed turbocharged V8s, transmissions and electrical components will make their way into the successors to the current V8 Vantage and DB9, but that these models are still a few years off.
Purists might balk at the thought of a Mercedes-powered Aston holding true to the brand's heritage. But while David Brown (for whom the DB range is named) may have steered clear of shoehorning in Detroit muscle into his cars, the entirety of the company's current range is powered by engines borrowing technology from Ford, and that arrangement seems to have worked well for Aston until now. And if you're still skeptical, look no further than Pagani and its AMG-sourced engines and you should have all the proof you need that the new relationship between Daimler and Aston could be a success.
