Astoria, New York, United States
Hi all- Thank you for taking the time out to look at this
Mercedes-Benz 400E (E420) for sale. The basic run down: -1992 400E -Black Exterior (two tone) -Gray perforated leather interior (real leather) -Approx 230k miles (High for some, but average for this year
and for a car that moves everyday, most W124’s can do double with no issue) -Engine and Transmission are in excellent, excellent shape -No gear slippage, goes into Reverse and Drive immediately
(under 1 second) -Gears up and downshift smoothly -Wiring harness replaced at about 120k miles -17” AMG staggered original alloys off of a CLK -Brand new Tires with less than 1k miles, all with road
hazard warranty -Euro headlights, side markers, and rear taillights (all
recently purchased) -Debadged (original badge is on hand, as well as original
wheels and tires -Full Spare and near-new tire -2 sets of keys -ABS, driver and passenger airbags -Power seats, windows, cruise control, etc. -Sony Xplod audio unit with aux and usb - Full exterior repaint recently (hood and one fender clear
coat was pealing, I decided to have whole car painted to give it a uniform,
clean look) -Rear Shocks replaced about 3k miles ago -AC evaporator replaced (over $1,600 in parts and labor—Whole
dashboard had to be removed, etc.) -AC compressor replaced -AC is ICE COLD and blows just like new -Heater workers perfect -Clean Title (on hand, I am private owner) -No accidents -All have service history both under warranty and out of -NY State inspection passed- good for at least 11 months -Have original US-spec headlights, taillights and side
lights Extremely clean car and well taken care of. I am a Mercedes
fanatic and have placed a great deal of effort and care into keeping this car
in fantastic shape. For those of you who know this body, internally known as
the W124 by Mercedes, you can rest assured this is a well-built, solid vehicle.
The 400E/E420 is the sleeper version of this body and only have a few less
horsepower than the famous 500e. Although not a collector’s model, this car is
exceptionally fast, handles great, and looks very professional (not dated
whatsoever IMO). Most W124’s sold nowadays are nowhere near the condition this
car is in, furthermore the majority are the underpowered 300e or e320 models
and almost always have issues with the air conditioning—which I can assure you
will cost you nearly $1400-1600 to fix properly. Please keep this in mind when
considering the price of this car and others listed online. Reason for selling?
Looking to get a 95-99 W140 J…If
you want to have the car for less, I can take off AMG wheels and new tires for
a deduction of $700 and leave on the original 15” inch OEM wheels. Know issues (that to me were not important enough to fix) -Rear Passenger Window does not go up or down (likely a
window regulator- easy fix) -Roof lining is slightly sagging -Moon roof is sealed shut, but can be easily fixed) -Passenger mirror wont adjust...might be a fuse (ive never checked) Please take the time to come and inspect the car thoroughly. You will not be disappointed. You may also contact me directly at 917 567 4349 (call/text) for any questions/concerns. Please Thank you again for looking and I hope to hear from all potential buyers soon! |

VW joins Daimler's protest of new A/C refrigerant as EU deadline for compliance passes
Sun, 06 Jan 2013The case of Dupont and Honeywell's refrigerant R-1234yf is doing the exact opposite of keeping things cool. The two chemical companies have spent years and hundreds of millions of dollars developing R-1234yf to replace R-134a, the new refrigerant shown to be 99.7-percent kinder to the environment than the one it is meant to succeed. Part of that development has been years of testing by governments, outside safety agencies and automakers to approve the chemical for use in cars. It passed the protocols necessary for the European Union to declare that new and significantly revised cars from 2013 onward needed to use R-1234yf, and mandated that every car as of 2017 must use it.
Enter Daimler AG. The automaker created a head-on collision test with a B-Class at their Sindelfingen test track that would lead to the pressurized refrigerant being sprayed on the engine. The result in 20 out of 20 test was that the refrigerant burst into flames as soon as it hit the hot engine, while Daimler says that R-134a does not catch fire in the same test. Another unexpected result of the R-1234yf test was the release of hydrogen flouride, a chemical far more deadly to humans than hydrogen cyanide, emitted in such amounts that it that turned the windshield white as it began to eat into the glass.
Said a Daimler engineer in a Reuters piece, "It was scarcely believable. The most complicated lab tests conducted using the most sensitive measuring instruments around found nothing and all we do is drive a car around a couple of times, open a tiny hole in the refrigerant line and the next thing you know the car is on fire." So Daimler said it wouldn't use the refrigerant, and it recalled the cars it had already shipped with R-1234yf.
Recharge Wrap-up: Honda FCV Concept comes to Detroit, Toyota seeks young green energy fellows
Thu, Dec 18 2014Honda will bring its FCV Concept to the 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January. The hydrogen-powered concept made its Japanese debut in November, and will now make its way to North America for the first time. The FCV concept improves upon the design of the FCX Clarity with a more striking appearance and roomier interior. Its smaller powertrain packaging means more space for people, and the FCV Concept seats five passengers. Honda also expects the next-generation fuel-cell car, which is scheduled to go on sale in Japan in March 2016, to cost less and have a range of over 300 miles. Read more in the press release below. The Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive has been awarded an environmental certificate from the TUV Sud technical inspection authority. The certificate is based not just on the vehicle's operation, but the entire lifecycle of the car, including production and recycling. The B-Class Electric Drive produces 24 percent less CO2 over its lifecycle than the Mercedes-Benz B180 when using the EU electricity mix, and 64 percent less when powered by hydroelectricity. Mercedes credits not just the use of electricity, but also the car's energy management system - such as its radar-based regenerative braking - for its carbon reductions. Read more in the press release below. Scania will test a wirelessly charged plug-in hybrid bus in Sweden. Beginning in June 2016, the bus will be put to daily use in Sodertalje. One of its stops will have a wireless charging station where the bus will recharge for six to seven minutes before continuing on its route again. The charger is located under the road surface and the bus positions itself above it to charge inductively. About $1.3 million will come from the Swedish Energy Agency to fund the test project, which could save up to 90 percent of fuel costs. If expanded to a fleet of 2,000 buses, it could save up to 13 million gallons of fuel each year. Read more at Green Car Congress, and in the press release below. Sandia National Laboratories and Linde are teaming up to expand hydrogen fueling infrastructure. The two groups have signed an agreement to research and develop new hydrogen stations, as well as ways to make fuel cell vehicles more desirable for consumers. They are looking at ways to incorporate hydrogen into existing fuel stations where possible, and make sure that it is able to be done safely.
Daimler, Geely mull China as production hub for hybrid powertrains
Sun, Nov 22 2020FRANKFURT — Daimler and Geely on Friday said China could emerge as a manufacturing and export hub for hybrid powertrains jointly developed for Volvo and Mercedes-Benz cars. Earlier this week, Daimler said it would cooperate with China's Geely to build next-generation combustion engines for use in hybrid vehicles. The engines will be produced in China as well as in Europe, and Geely and Daimler will cooperate in engineering, sourcing and production, the companies said in a joint press release. "The export of the engine from China is considered to be an option," the release further said. Mercedes-Benz aims for more than half of its passenger car sales to be comprised of plug-in hybrids or purely electric vehicles by 2030. Geely is ChinaÂ’s most internationally known automaker. It owns Volvo Cars and Lotus, almost half of Proton and 9.7% of Daimler. Through wholly owned company Polestar, it builds low-volume Polestar 1 hybrid performance cars in the western city of Chengdu and Polestar 2 volume sedans in Taizhou in the east. "The companies plan to develop a highly efficient modular engine," a spokesman for Daimler said, adding that it would be used in hybrid drivetrains and manufactured in Europe and China. The modular engine will be used in cars under different marques at Geely and Daimler, a person familiar with the matter said on condition of anonymity as the companies are still in the early stages of developing the engine. An Conghui, President of Geely Holding Group, President and CEO of Geely Auto Group said: “This project reflects the need for economies of scale and targeted research and development investment in clean and highly efficient powertrains and hybrid drive systems and their applications." Geely also plans to build a plant with annual manufacturing capacity of 30,000 premium EVs in the western city of Chongqing, run by a wholly owned, newly registered company, according to documents on its website. Geely and Polestar declined to comment. The plan comes as foreign automakers including BMW AG and Tesla expand EV production in the worldÂ’s biggest market, sourcing major EV components such as batteries locally and often even exporting a portion of the vehicles it builds.  Auto News Earnings/Financials Green Plants/Manufacturing Mercedes-Benz Volvo Green Automakers Future Vehicles Hybrid
