This may be one of the rarest cars listed on Ebay.  1993 Mercedes Benz 300CE CV Cabriolet finished in Blackberry Metallic over Parchment leather.  To my knowledge, this is the only 1993-1995 E-class cabriolet in this color combination in the US.  Only a few thousand of these cars were imported to the US over its 3-year production run from 1993-1995, the fewest in 1993.  This car is already a classic and destined to increase in value over time.  

Specifics:

Blackberry Metallic / Parchment.  Astounding condition.
New chrome OEM rims with matching Michelin MXV4 tires installed in 2010 with only a few thousand miles on them.  No curb rash.
Several thousand dollars in receipts in the last year or so from Haus of Mercedes in Santa Ana, CA.  The car is mechanically perfect, no leaks.  AC is ice cold.  Drives as new.
Original top and interior are a 9.5/10.  Perfect interior wood.  Leather never "sprayed."
High-end repaint with original Mercedes color of Blackberry Metallic due surface scratches which could not be buffed out performed in 2010 on panel surfaces only, not door jambs, etc.  Looks new.  Never in an accident.
-Factory 6-disc CD changer.
-Original canvas top with glass rear window, power antenna, seat belt arms etc., function great.
-Leather / wood steering wheel and shifter upgrade.
-Brand new Lloyd floor mats in black complement convertible top and dash quite nicely.
-Custom car cover.
-Including new OEM headlight wiper blades and 2 Mercedes key blanks.

This car was previously owned by a collector in Palos Verdes, CA until I purchased.  It was driven occasionally by his elderly mother.  After she passed, he had the rims and tires replaced and the exterior paint restored due to surface scratches.  Always garaged as evident by condition of interior / rubber and plastic parts.  I purchased it and the car received glowing reviews from my mechanic.  I had several seals and gaskets replaced in addition to performing the 60K service.  This car has been garaged in Newport Beach, CA and driven weekly.  I live in NYC and my mother wants (is demanding) some more of her garage space back.  I am going to kick myself in another few years, but reluctantly am offering this amazing car for sale at much less than I have invested.  Inspections are welcome.  Cliche, but this car must literally be seen to be believed.

Daimler eMERGE2 test proves ignorance breeds dislike of EVs

Thu, Jul 30 2015

Out with the old EVs, in with the new. Daimler announced today that it has finished up the eMERGE electric vehicle project that used Smart Fortwo Electric Drive cars and will now start up eMERGE2, which will use Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive and PHEV vehicles. As before, the tests will take place in Germany. The first, just-finished eMERGE program ran from May 2013 to June 2015 and put over a million kilometers (621,000 miles) onto 146 Smart Fortwo EDs. Daimler said that over the two years, the vehicle with the most efficient annual energy consumption used just 10.4 kWh for all of its 100 kilometers. The best full-charge range over the year was 161 kilometers (100 miles). Perhaps most interesting, though, was one of the projects findings: "the less an interviewee knew about electric mobility, the more negative their opinion" about the technology. In other words, here's some more proof that getting "butts in seats," as it were, is one reasonable way to promote electric driving. eMERGE: key contribution to developing the mobility of the future Stuttgart/Berlin, Jul 30, 2015 Broad-based real-world trial of eMERGE project completed Especially for daily distances of 50 km or over the E-car is financially attractive eMERGE2 fleet project now launching with 200 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive and plug-in hybrid models Stuttgart/Berlin – After more than one million kilometres in two years – from May 2013 to June 2015 – the real-world trial of electric cars known as eMERGE has been completed. Those taking part in the project were private and business customers with 146 smart fortwo electric drive cars from Berlin, Potsdam and North Rhine-Westphalia. Some of them set records: the lowest average energy consumption over one year was 10.4 kWh/100 km, while the longest range was 161 kilometres. The smart fortwo electric drive is certified with a consumption of 16.3 kWh/100 km and a range of 145 kilometres. The broad-based field trial within the framework of the eMERGE project has not only provided information on user behaviour and e-car technology; it also studied intelligent charging systems for improving the utilisation of the power supply as well as various pricing systems with regard to customer acceptance. Based on transport models, the project partners examined the need for a publicly available charging infrastructure. Within the project Daimler was responsible for collecting the driving and charging data required for evaluation of the field trial.

Europe getting special Mercedes-Benz CLA Edition 1

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

Last week when we saw the leaked ordering guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, one particular image caught our eye showing the interior of the new sedan with a neon yellow stripe on the seats and yellow stitching throughout the cabin. As it turns out, this will be part of a limited-edition model called the Edition 1 about which Mercedes-Benz just released some information.
Usually, automakers wait until later in a vehicle's life to introduce special models like this, but the Edition 1 will be available right out of the gate for the first 12 months the CLA-Class is on sale. The 2014 CLA-Class Edition 1 includes the more aggressive Sport package adding AMG-style fascias and wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights and a lowered suspension; it will be offered only in five colors - unfortunately, Northern Lights Purple is not one of them. In addition to the bright yellow cabin accents, the Edition 1 will get sport seats wrapped in leather and microfiber, a sporty, flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather and real aluminum trim on the instrument panel.
With no mention of the US, we're only left to imagine that this car will not be arriving on our shores, but customers in Europe will definitely be able to enjoy the mean styling and funky interior with prices ranging from 35,402 euros up to 43,940 euros.

2015 Mercedes C-Class order guide leaked

Wed, 23 Apr 2014

We may not have an official starting price for the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but as of right now, we can tell you about all the options for the eagerly anticipated new luxury sedan.
Benz Report has the entire order guide for the C-Class, with breakdowns from package pricing to how many different colors, wheel designs and lighting configurations will be available when the new model hits dealers later this year. As we mentioned in our initial review of the C-Class, there will be a pair of engine options, with the now familiar 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder available in both rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations and a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6, which can be had in all-wheel drive, only.
From there, though, the available options are impressive. Much like it does on the current car, Mercedes is offering a pair of packages that sort of define the entire car. With the C300, buyers will have the choice of either a Sport or Luxury package in addition to the base trim, while C400 buyers are limited to the Sport model.
