 Up for auction is two Mercedes Benz 300Ds a 1990 and 1991. I bought the 90 Benz off eBay with the intent to fix up my 91. The 91 was my fathers car, who is a Diesel Tech, it was also my first car. I recently started driving it again last year so I could save on fuel cost commuting back and forth to work.  I am getting about 32mpg in stop and go traffic. It is an ugly car now and gets no respect on the road. It looked a lot better before it was parked in the middle of parking lot at my Dad's work with no shade for six years. I did not need to do much to get it driving again. I replaced the injection pump, delivery valve's O-rings, return lines, rubber supply fuel lines, I bypassed the fuel thermostat, gave it an oil change, a transmission flush, Master cylinder and two new tires. It drives ok, suspension and steering components are worn and the ac is in-op due to a bad clutch on the AC compressor.  I can't complain, it starts up every time, doesn't burn any oil and has never let me down. I just don't have the time anymore. I've been driving the 91 Benz for a year and still driving it daily.  I love it but I haven't been able to do anything to fix it up and I have too many other vehicles that need repair. Well that... and my Wife hates them and doesn't want to see them in the driveway anymore.

The 1990 Benz was bought here on ebay as a donor car for the 91. The previous owner purchased it at an insurance auction in Miami. The car was in a flood inside a parking garage sometime in 2002. The car was totaled out and has NO TITLE just a bill of sale. I haven't gone though the car very well. The car has 168,xxx miles on it. I serviced it, installed a new battery, drained all the fuel, and replaced the radiator and now it's running. It runs well but I did notice that the water pump leaks, the fan culch is in-op, the brakes need to be bled and the muffler is rusted out. I drove the 90 Benz around town for a little while and it has a lot more power the 91. It drives fine as long as you aren't sitting in heavy traffic. Because it was flooded, some of the accessories  aren't working like the windows, door locks, back head rests, cd player, blower motor, horn, and the power seats. Also the back passenger rear window is stuck down. It's perfect for parts or it can be fixed up with a little more time and effort.

The cars are sold as is. Local buyers preferred. Serious buyers only.

Daimler, BMW partnering up on wireless charging

Tue, Jul 15 2014

Plug-in vehicle advocates can get all warm and fuzzy about two Germany heavyweight automakers getting together for the sake of wireless charging. That's because Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler and BMW will work together to speed up development of a wireless charging system. While not a ton of details were divulged, we can still rejoice. Daimler says the system will consist of an on-board coil and another coil that can be placed within the garage floor or someplace similarly stationary. The system will charge at 3.6 kilowatts and with 90 percent efficiency. No details were released about the system's price or when it would be available, but Daimler shouldn't wait too long, since other OEMs are already talking about their own wireless charging systems. Daimler obviously has some skin in the game here, since Mercedes-Benz will start sales of its S500 plug-in hybrid in September. That model, which was first shown off last August at the Frankfurt Auto Show, can go as far as 20 miles on electric power alone and will get fuel economy of about 84 miles per gallon equivalent. And it's easy to imagine an i3 or i8 driver getting a kick out of never needing to touch a cord. This spring, reports sprung up that fellow German automaker Volkswagen was preparing a wireless charging option for its electric vehicles as soon as 2017. You can check out Daimler's press release below. Wireless charging of electric drive and plug-in hybrid vehicles: PLUG IN HYBRID - unplugged One of the next steps on the way to perfect electric drive and plug-in hybrid vehicles is wireless charging. Daimler and BMW have now agreed on jointly developing and implementing one common technology. Wireless charging of the battery will make the handling of electric drive and plug-in hybrid vehicles even easier. Mercedes-Benz will commence fleet testing of this "unplugged" technology with the S 500 Plug in HYBRID soon, in order to develop a real S-Class solution in recharging the high voltage battery in terms of comfort and ease of operating in the near future. The system consists of two components: a secondary coil integrated into the under tray of the car and a primary coil integrated into a floor plate that can be placed on a garage floor for instance. Electrical energy is transmitted contact-free without the need for a cable, at a power rate of 3.6 kW and with a degree of efficiency of 90%.

Test drive the Mercedes SLS AMG Electric Drive with Chris Harris

Thu, 11 Apr 2013

It's hard to not like the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT. The all-aluminum coupe is fitted with a wonderful naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. Not only does the burly combustion engine launch the two-seater to 60 miles per hour in less than four seconds, but it does so with one of the world's greatest exhaust soundtracks as it roars, burbles and cackles down the road.
But what happens when Mercedes-Benz takes away the V8 and its accompanying fire-burning song? Stripped of one of its most appealing assets, does the SLS lose its soul?
Chris Harris recently had the opportunity to take the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive for a track spin in Europe. Sans gasoline, but with four electric motors providing a combined 740 horsepower (737 pound-feet of torque), all-electric all-wheel drive coupe uses sophisticated torque vectoring and a multi-mode operating system to put oversteer - drifting! - back into the equation. Fun? You bet. See for yourself, below.

Mercedes-Benz releases US-spec 2014 Sprinter details

Mon, 06 May 2013

Last 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.
