I've had this Mercedes for approximately twenty years. During that period of time I have driven it with confidence - at one time I would have taken a trip to Canada with little fear of any problem. Although the vehicle has been seldom driven in the several five years, I have cranked and run it each and every month. Here are more particulars:

1. I wrecked the vehicle several years ago, after which the hood, front fenders, front bumper, etc., were repaired or replaced. The motor was not damaged. At that time I had the entire vehicle repainted its original color, a light cream. The paint job now is in very good condition, with only a few pecks. The car is stunningly beautiful when it is clean.

2. This past week I replaced the battery ($135), drove the car from its storage area some twenty-five miles away, and filled the tank with fresh non-ethanol gasoline. It drove fine except that the brakes do have an apparent problem (described herein).

3. The motor and drive train are in very good condition. The motor cranks and runs smoothly, the transmission shifts flawlessly. It does not smoke and did not use any oil when I was driving it years ago.

4. The two "major" defects are the brakes and (possibly) the fuel pump. Last week when I was driving around Vicksburg the brakes gradually went. When I got home I had just enough pedal to stop. The master cylinder is full, and I see no evidence of leakage at the wheel cylinders. So... I have no idea what the brake problem may be. Additionally, when I tried to start the engine this morning the engine turned fine, but would not start. I could not hear the fuel pump "whine" when I placed the ignition switch in the "on" position, so I suspect either the wiring to the pump has failed, or the pump motor has failed. But, it may be something else entirely.

5. Other known defects include: a) Since the car has been driven very little lately, the tires look like new, but they are old and may need replacing before running at highway speeds, 2) The odometer works sometimes, sometimes not. It's showing about 126,000 miles, but may have an additional 5,000 miles maximum, since I have driven it very little in the past several years. 3) The radio antenna extends automatically but sometimes hangs up, 4) The radio is a replacement. I may have the original someplace and will attempt to locate it if the buyer wants it, 5) The driver-side leather seat has some small holes and a seam failure - see photo, 6) A small disc on the speedometer needle has fallen off - see photo, 7) The passenger-side door sometimes requires opening from the inside - perhaps a lock problem, 8) The air conditioner worked when I stored the car, but is not working now. I believe it will work if charged with freon, 9) The fuel gage works intermittently, 10) There are probably more minor defects, but I can't think of any right now.

In summary, this is a beautiful car with a beautiful body and a very good engine and transmission. With some TLC it can serve a new owner with pride and distinction for years to come.

2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class ED has 87-mile range, 84 MPGe

Fri, Jul 11 2014

Well, that extra weight had to be felt somewhere. With Mercedes-Benz getting ready to start US sales of its B-Class Electric drive this summer, the big question was how well its range would stack up against other electric vehicles sold in the States. Turns out, the Benz is a bit of a juice hog. Let's say up front that the 87-mile single-charge range of the Mercedes-Benz actually stacks up nicely against its competition, since that distance puts the new model right in line with the Nissan Leaf and BMW i3 (we'll ignore the Tesla Model S for a second, here). You can find the numbers at the US Department of Energy's FuelEconomy website. As far as miles per gallon equivalent ratings, though, the Benz's steel frame makes it come up short, as it's about 1,300 pounds heavier than the carbon-fiber-body i3 and about 600 pounds heavier than the Leaf. The B-Class EV has a bigger battery than the i3 or the Leaf (36 kWh compared to 22 kWh for the i3 and 24 kWh for the Leaf) and that's one reason the car gets an 84 MPGe rating, which is about 26 percent less than the Leaf's and 32 percent less than the i3's. But at least the local utility companies will be happy. Mercedes-Benz priced the 177-horsepower B-Class ED in April at $41,450, or $100 more than the i3.

Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury fully revealed, tea set and all

Tue, Apr 24 2018

Mercedes has officially unveiled its Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury concept following a leak of most of the details last week. As we learned last week, the unusual looking sedan-SUV crossbreed is fully electric with four motors producing a whopping 750 horsepower. Combined with an 80 kWh battery, Mercedes estimates it should have a range of over 200 miles on the European test cycle. It also can handle extremely fast charging from DC chargers outputting 350 kW. Mercedes claims this allows it to gain 60 miles of range in 5 minutes. But there are a number of interesting details that weren't leaked. Many of them have to do with the car's Chinese inspiration, which is perhaps not that surprising for a car that makes its debut in China. The body style is the first influence, which Mercedes says combines the sedan and SUV, the best-selling car classes in the country. On the inside, there are a pair of cues inspired by China. The first is the ebony wood trim that Mercedes calls "Magic Wood." The company says it's very similar to that used in Chinese furniture. In the back, between the two highly adjustable white leather seats with rose-gold stitching, is a complete tea set. And not only does it contain all the containers for tea, but it actually has a variety of teas on offer. They're there to be used in conjunction with the car's relaxation modes that combine lighting, music and scents to set the mood. It's hard to say whether this concept will spawn a production model, since the body style is unlike any currently offered by Mercedes-Benz. But with the crossover SUV market staying hot, and competitors such as Audi and BMW bringing out extra-large SUVs, we wouldn't be surprised if Mercedes eventually offers at least a Maybach-level version of its GLS-Class, if not its own model.

2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600 offers the plutocratic life for $189,350*

Fri, Jan 16 2015

Mercedes-Benz has officially announced pricing on its ultra-luxurious Maybach S600, and just as we feared, you'll probably need to be a Saudi oil sheikh to afford one. Prices start at $189,350, excluding a paltry $925 destination charge. That princely sum does not, however, make the Maybach version of the latest S-Class the company's most expensive sedan. That honor still goes to the ridiculously powerful and absurdly priced S65 AMG, which starts at $222,000. The new model's price easily surpasses that of the vehicle it's based on, though. Mercedes old flagship sedan, the S600, starts at $166,900. Of course, you do get quite a lot of kit for spending an extra $23,000, besides the C-pillar-mounted Maybach badges and the extra 7.9 inches of wheelbase. Upgrades include a re-engineered interior that should be quieter than even the tomb-silent standard S-Class. Even the seats, which are lined in extremely supple leather, are noise insulated. Speaking of those seats and leather, the Maybach trim should include a fairly extensive range of different woods and leathers, for that personal touch. Beyond that, Maybach-exclusive features include a new fragrance for Mercedes' silly Air-Balance system, as well as a pair of silver-plated champagne flutes. What are your thoughts? Does the Maybach S600's extravagant price tag seem worth it (we're leaning towards yes)? Have your say in Comments. Mercedes-Benz Announces Pricing On All-New 2016MY Mercedes-Maybach S600 Segment-Leading Flagship to Start at $189,350* January 16, 2015 - MONTVALE, NJ The S-Class range has a long established tradition of setting the benchmark in the luxury segment, and the launch of the highly-anticipated new Mercedes-Maybach S600 in April will further assert its leadership position in the U.S. market. Priced from USD $189,350, this exceptional addition to the product lineup offers more than 8 inches in total length when compared to the standard S-Class and features a suite of intelligent safety technologies and exclusive appointments that complete the opulent package. The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class seamlessly melds the perfection of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class with the incredible heritage and prestige of the Maybach nameplate. Mercedes-Maybach is not an equipment line. It is a sub-brand that introduces Mercedes-Benz vehicles in an even more exclusive form.
