I've always loved this body style and bought it simply because of that...didn't need it, and haven't even used it. To me it just always seemed like it had the most presence of all the S Class cars over the years. I bought it a couple years ago with the intention of using it as a semi-daily driver locally. I towed it home since it needed a crank sensor, and installed a new one at a cost of around 200.00. It fixed the problem and it started and ran well. I never have put license and insurance on it, as we have several other cars, and to be honest, by default, it just never happened. I always start it regularly to keep everything lubricated, etc. Lately, it won't start until it has cranked and cranked and cranked, almost to the point where you feel like the battery is about to give up, and then it starts. It runs rough, but then after a while smooths out. The exhaust smell is greater lately too and there's a little smoke...not oil smoke, but more of a 'burning your eyes a little if you stand behind the car', 'timings off a little' type smoke....whiteish. It's not losing any coolant, so it's not that. You can shut it off, and then it will start right back up as many times as you want. As long as it's still warm(3-4 hours...maybe longer)it will start. Don't know what the issue is...fuel flow, plugs, cold start sensor, some other kind of sensor, catalytic convertor? Just don't know, I haven't even tried to diagnose it. I do know it needs out of the driveway, as I have decided to get rid of a few cars, and just want to downsize in general since there's really only 3 we drive regularly. It's not a 'I need some money so what kind of junk do I have sitting around to sell' thing. I think it would make someone a really good car at a very good price.

Since I've had it, I've installed the crank sensor and put new headlight doors(surrounds that cover the fog lights)that made a real difference to the front end. I also installed a battery(not brand new, but a good one). This car is not one of the 'heirloom' Mercedes you see everyone touting on Ebay, but is a clean car(especially for 26 years old) that seems to have been taken care of over the years. My understanding is that it was painted a few years ago, not due to a wreck or damage, but because of paint fade. It's kinda dull right now due to sitting in direct sun since I've had it, and also with the prior owner, but I compounded a small area on it, and I think it will shine pretty well with a good buffing...I just don't have the time or a 'want to' to do it, to be honest.

As far as damage goes, there is a small wrinkled place at the very front of the driver's side fender, and a scuff on the bumper just below that...the previous owner said his neighbor bumped it with his ATV when he had it over at his house. There is a hole in the outer bolster of the driver's seat. The rear driver's side speaker grille is broken...yours truly did that when cleaning the rear window. The wood trim around the shifter has delaminated some...the glovebox latch doesn't latch like it should because the wood has pulled loose a little, probably an easy fix but I haven't messed with it...seams have split on tops of the back seat...I bought it in a cooler part of the year, but the AC didn't blow cold when I got it, and the previous owner said it did work, but had a slow leak and just needed charged periodically, but I can't verify either way....I removed(cut)the AC belt recently to install a new alternator belt, so that would need replaced if you wanted to work on/use the AC. Otherwise, there's no rust on the body and only minor door dings and small paint chips here and there.

All power windows work like they should...the vacuum system for the power door locks still works well...all the functions on the power seats work, including the headrests...the sunroof is fully functional...the radio works(not sure about the cassette)...all the lights, inside and out work correctly, including the very bright yellow foglights...I haven't really driven it(other than around our neighborhood from time to time)since back when I got it , but the cruise control worked last time I did...the front brakes(rotors and pads)were changed not long before I got it...the tires have 60-70% of the tread but have a little cracking.

The starting price is the 'reserve price', so 1 bid gets it. Please don't contact me offering lower than the starting price, as it's not a 'have to' sell, but a 'want to' sell. I've bought and sold 14-15 cars here on Ebay over the past 5-6 years, and have a 100% positive rating, so you can feel comfortable there. I tried loading 24 pictures on here like it said I could, but it only managed to let me put 12, so if you want to see something not shown, or have any questions, just let me know through Ebay or my cell phone at 304-784-6680.

Thanks for looking.

Mercedes-AMG once again joins forces with Cigarette Racing

Fri, Jan 30 2015

Any time there's a new loins-quaking Mercedes-AMG introduced, you need to keep your eye on the aquatic horizon around the time of the Miami International Boat Show for the Cigarette tie-in to come roaring into port. The SLS AMG had its 2,700-horsepower, 46-foot Rider, the C63 AMG Black Series got a 1,350-hp, 50-foot Marauder, the G63 AMG got a 1,750-hp, 43-foot Huntress, and the SLS AMG E-Cell got a matching wild yellow 2,200-hp, 38-foot electric concept boat. Now that we're in 2015 with another AMG and another boat show, we have another Cigarette. Mercedes hasn't dropped the goods on this one yet, but it will be twins with the AMG GT. After that, we're guessing it will have a can't-miss-it paint job, be in the 40-foot range, and have something like 2,000 hp. The show is February 12-16, we'll have all the info for you then.

Meet Buster, this 1968 Porsche racecar transporter from Mercedes

Thu, Dec 11 2014

If you're thinking about Porsche and Mercedes-Benz when it comes to motorsports, your first thought is probably on the two German brands battling on the track. However, for decades, whenever Porsche's factory team went to compete, a custom Mercedes was right along with them hauling the racecars. These days the truck lives in the Brumos Collection in Jacksonville, FL, and goes by the nickname Buster. However, its story goes back to 1968 when Porsche ordered two commercial vehicles from Mercedes and then handed them over to a Stuttgart-based outfitter for customization. The results were these racing transporters that hauled models like the 917 and 956 until the '80s. The other survived, too, with a place in Porsche's collection. Well-known racers in their own right, Brumos scooped up the transporter in 2003 and have kept driving it to vintage racing events. The interior now boasts the signatures of many of the great drivers from the era of this historic truck. Watch the video for the whole story on the Mercedes with a whole lot of Porsche inside.
