I am the 3rd owner of this car and have lovingly maintained it for 4 1/2 years with close to no problems. I have replaced the ignition cylinder, the vacuum pump, the battery and the tires. Other than that all I have had to do is regular oil changes.

The PROS: 
Sun roof and automatic windows work. 
Runs very good, has a strong engine, with regular oil changes and maintenance. 
A well maintained diesel engined 300 turbo Mercedes Benz can run up to 1,000,000 miles, it will run as long as you pour diesel and oil
NO electronic system, therefore no sensors to replace. 
Straight body, all trims and emblem intact ,
New battery and tires less than a year old. 
Very safe big car that gets great gas mileage.
The car starts quickly, even on colder days. 
It runs smoothly, with plenty of power from the turbo. 
The transmission shifts sure and true. 
The ride is very smooth and solid.
It is a great candidate for a vegetable oil burning system conversion so you can run as you wish diesel, bio-diesel or vegetable oil
Diesel is 1/2 cost of gas and vegetable oil is 1/2 of diesel so great savings. 
I have full coverage insurance and pay under $75 a month and the registration fees in CA are only $83 a year. 
The registration is already renewed until next March. 
This car was always in Southern California so no rusting

The CONS: 
There are some minor cosmetic things like a couple small tears near the ceiling lights in the headliner and small paint chips missing near the wheel wells and the driver's seat is worn (but still very comfortable). 
The heat works but the A/C does not. I am not sure if this is due to the condensor or if it just needs freon. 
The speedometer and odometer do not work. They have not since I have had the car but I have never found this to be an issue.

An atheistically pristine model of this car which would normally go for $4,500. Since there are a couple of cosmetic issues I am pricing it to sell. Contact me with any questions.

Next Mercedes S-Class stretching into this 600 Pullman limo

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

To the concern of nobody in particular, Mercedes-Benz will not be re-upping its Maybach line of ultra-luxury limousines. No, instead the German automaker will be stretching its already roomy S-Class, to make this upcoming 600 Pullman version of the decked-out beast.
The car in our new gallery of spy shots is sporting beefy B-pillars and a massive set of rear doors that should allow perfectly graceful ingress and egress from what is likely to be a palatial rear space. (In one photo we can even see a long-wheelbase S-Class in line with the new Pullman, handily exhibiting the size of the new variant.) The exterior modifications are otherwise obscured, though we can guess at revised front and rear fascia and lighting elements, based on both end being heavily taped for these test runs.
It's a good bet that the Pullman will make use of M-B's twin-turbocharged V12 engine, though sources indicate that a hybrid version might eventually be in the offing, as well.

Mercedes-Benz to build new ML coupe-crossover in Alabama in 2015

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

Mercedes-Benz will expand its factory in Tuscaloosa, AL, to build the ML Coupe, a new crossover that will join its lineup in 2015. Mercedes will also ramp up production to build facelifted versions of the M-Class and GL-Class SUVs, lifting the factory's total production capacity to about 300,000 units annually in 2015. It made 185,000 vehicles in 2013. In addition to SUVs, the Tuscaloosa site also makes the C-Class sedan.
The plans come as part of Mercedes' strategy to capitalize on Americans' increasing demands for SUVs. The company said the SUV market was up 12 percent in first half of 2014, and expects it to grow at twice the rate of the regular market in 2015 and 2016.
"We are seeing climbing demand for SUVs." - Dieter Zetsche

Mercedes fits new C-Class with AMG kit

Sat, 28 Dec 2013

It's only been a week and a half since Mercedes-Benz revealed the new C-Class, and it'll likely be a while yet before the replacement for the C63 AMG comes along. But if you want to see a preview of what it'll look like, look no further than the AMG aero kit that has just surfaced.
Expected to debut on the new C-Class at the fast-approaching Detroit Auto Show, the AMG Line Exterior Pack adds a new bumpers front and rear, side skirts, dual exhaust tips, mesh grille, aluminum window frames and - most importantly - 18-inch alloys packing upgraded brakes and fitted to a lowered sport suspension. All of which will help any C-Class look the part, even if the engine remains stock.
