Up for sale is a timeless classic diesel station wagon! My brother bought this car at the end of the summer from an estate auction in Texas via Ebay as a surprise for his wife . The vehicle was driven back here to Denver from Texas without a hitch. His wife loved the looks of the car and the idea of owning one, but going from a late-model Volvo V70R to a 30 year old diesel wagon is a drastic change to say the least. My brother had to move to Oregon for work and he left the old Mercedes behind asking me to sell it for him. I am listing this thing at NO RESERVE so the high bidder will own this bullet-proof wagon!
When the weather was warm the Mercedes would start up after a few cranks without a hitch. Now that it has sat for awhile and the weather is cold, it cranks for a longer time and needs a jump most of the time as well. It does ALWAYS start eventually. The turbo spools up well and it has good acceleration for an old turbo diesel Benz. It also just passed Colorado emissions recently as well. Like any old German car, the motor is wet with oil seepages. The transmission shifts through all gears including reverse as it seemingly should. The brakes work strongly on the first application after driving for a time, but if you brake again after that the power function seems weak. The e-brake does not hold at all. The tires are old and could use replacement/balancing. I also heard an occasional squeak from the right front while driving. It may need a strut? I am not sure.
The odometer was not rolling any miles when I drove the car today so just assume it does not work. The person in Texas who sold it claimed that the AC worked, but it has been too cold for me to verify that and my brother didn't know. The climate control with the fan etc. does work as far as I can tell. The drivers side front window goes up and down fine, but the passenger front window only goes down 1/3 of the way and stops. The two rear windows work intermittently. The faceplate for the aftermarket CD player is missing. The horn on the steering wheel does not work thus the reason for the black horn button seen on the left drivers kick panel in the photos which does work.
The exterior paint is weathered from the Texas sun. It has a couple of surface rust spots as seen in the photos as well as a dent on the right front fender. One of the rear back up lenses is broken. Please see the pictures for exterior condition. The windshield does have a small star on the far passenger side halfway up. As far as the interior, the dash has a molded cover on it so I am not sure about the condition of it. There are cracks in the drivers seat as seen in the photos. The front door panel map pockets have loose clips on the front portion. The passenger front and rear seats are in good shape as well as the carpets/floor mats. It also has two keys and owners manuals.
I have a clear title in my possession so I am not sure why it is showing salvage on autocheck? It does not show any accidents on autocheck so I am not sure how the title could be salvage. I just want to be up front that I do have a clear title in hand, but let you know that the autocheck record does say salvage.
I have described this vehicle to the best of my ability and knowledge. It is being sold as is with no warranty or guarantee of any kind expressed or implied. Feel free to contact me to see the car in person or set up an inspection from a third party. I will assist in any way possible. This vehicle is not for someone who is not OK with quirks of old German cars. You can come pick up the vehicle in person, or set up shipping. All pick up/transportation arrangements must be made by the buyer. I will get the vehicle started for the buy or transporter when it is being picked up. If you need me to pick you up from Denver International Airport, I am more than happy to do so. A non-refundable $250 deposit is due with 48 hours of the auction end. Do not bid unless you intend to buy. The full balance is due, and vehicle must be picked up within 7 days of the auction end. The high bidder will own this vehicle. I have a clear signed off title in my hand ready to go. Feel free to contact me with any questions and I will answer them to the best of my ability.Thanks for looking!

Mercedes, Renault-Nissan to work together on truck project
Wed, Apr 8 2015Just a few weeks ago, Mercedes-Benz barged into the automotive world with news of a pickup as a mysterious but enticing future model from the German brand. Rumors of a possible collaboration with Nissan followed, but Renault-Nissan Alliance CEO Carlos Ghosn refused to give any clear details. That speculation is now over, because the automakers made their truck partnership official. This new information reveals that the Mercedes truck won't be a full in-house creation from Daimler. For example, the pickup will share some of its underpinnings with the latest Nissan NP300 Navara. The German company's engineers, however, will work to change the design to their liking. Also, as in the rendering, Mercedes will use a double-cab body for the model. "Thanks to our well-established partnership with the Renault-Nissan Alliance, we are able to drastically reduce the time and cost to enter this key segment." Daimler Chairman Dr. Dieter Zetsche said in the company's release. Nissan will play a further major role in the project by helping Renault develop a pickup based on the Navara as well. By 2020, all three trucks will be built together in Cordoba, Argentina, for Latin American markets and in Barcelona, Spain, for other parts of the world. Mercedes will target both regular customers and commercial buyers with its truck. While still not officially slated for North America, there's a chance that the Mercedes truck might be sold here. The US arm of the company reportedly has until the end of the year to decide to offer it with some added luxury-oriented upgrades compared to the rest of the world.

Europe getting special Mercedes-Benz CLA Edition 1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Last 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.
Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition
Wed, 26 Dec 2012Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
