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 ...

Mercedes raises the roof on new CLA Shooting Brake [UPDATE]

Tue, Nov 25 2014

UPDATE: As we feared, the CLA Shooting Brake is not currently slated for US availability. The text below has been adjusted accordingly. Of all the variants in Mercedes' smallest line, only one doesn't have a liftgate, and that's the CLA-Class. But don't worry, the German automaker is out to fix that too with the reveal of the new CLA Shooting Brake you see here. Based on the same platform that underpins the CLA four-door coupe, the A-Class hatchback, B-Class minivan and GLA crossover, the new Shooting Brake applies a similar formula we've already seen on the bigger CLS Shooting Brake but in a much smaller form – which is to say, it's a wagon, but a shapely one. The revised roofline means more headroom in the back seat and significantly more cargo capacity than the four-door's trunk. Mercedes will offer the CLA with a variety of engine choices, including a 2.1-liter turbodiesel with either 136 or 177 horsepower, a 1.6-liter four with 122, 156 or 211 horsepower. That last model will even be available with 4Matic all-wheel drive for those not enamored by the idea of a front-drive Benz, but the top of the range, of course, is the CLA45 AMG Shooting Brake that carries the same 2.0-liter turbo four – all 360 horsepower of it – as the four-door CLA45 as well as the A45 and GLA45. Driving once again to all four wheels, Daimler says it'll reach 62 in 4.7 seconds (even quicker than the crossover) and top out at the usual 155 miles per hour. Of course those options only apply to markets where the new Shooting Brake will be offered. And unfortunately, Mercedes-Benz USA confirmed to Autoblog that (like the CLS wagon) the CLA Shooting Brake won't be making the transatlantic voyage to US showrooms (where the E-Class is the only low-slung Benz wagon on offer). That leaves the four-door CLA and the GLA crossover still holding down the pint-sized fort for Mercedes. THE NEW MERCEDES-BENZ CLA SHOOTING BRAKE: SPACE FOR SOMETHING NEW Stuttgart. Breathtakingly sporty proportions and a powerfully dynamic design idiom with sensuously shaped surfaces already made the CLA unmistakable in its four-door Coupe guise. It is now followed by a further design icon, the CLA Shooting Brake, with a unique look all of its own. The lower overall height and the elongated coupe-style roof contour line, the low greenhouse and the sweep of the high beltline are the key design features of its distinctive profile.

Daimler and Volvo could jointly develop internal combustion engines

Sun, Jan 5 2020

BERLIN — Luxury German carmaker Daimler and Volvo, owned by China's Geely, are considering cooperating to cut the costs of developing combustion engines, a magazine reported on Sunday, citing unnamed company sources. The Automobilwoche weekly cited a Volvo manager as saying there were initial talks with Daimler, but no concrete plans, while a company spokesman said it was too early to talk about firm projects, although it was not excluding anybody. A Daimler spokesman said the company's cooperation with Geely, which owns a 10% stake in the German carmaker, was developing in a positive way, but declined to comment further. Global tariffs, accelerated by a trade war between China and the United States, as well as higher investment requirements for electric and autonomous vehicles, are forcing carmakers to seek new ways to cut and share costs. In October, Volvo said it would merge its engine development and manufacturing assets with those of Geely, creating a division to supply in-house brands and also potentially others with next-generation combustion and hybrid engines. Automobilwoche said this new division would start operating by the end of March, which could be a possible starting point for cooperation with Daimler, while a further step could be a partnership to develop electric power trains. Geely and Daimler have said they plan to build the next generation of Smart electric cars in China through a joint venture and the two companies are also cooperating on a premium ride-hailing service in China. Geely bought Volvo Cars in 2010 from Ford, allowing the Swedish brand to operate on an arms-length basis. But in recent years, it has deepened cooperation between the two brands. Volvo already supplies engines to some Geely-branded vehicles, sharing technology through Geely's Lynk brand. Both companies share and develop common vehicle platforms.
