This is likely one of the best w126 sedans in the country. I am the second owner. I bought it from
the original owner in West Palm Beach in Florida. It is a U.S spec car and will pass smog even in
California. I can help re-import it into the U.S if anyone is interested.

Car has 70k miles. Very well documented service history. Only genuine Mercedes parts used.
Stacks of receipts available.

Midnight blue exterior with palomino interior.

Here is some of the recent service (within the last 5k miles).

- New HVAC blower motor and monovalve
- New tires (and rims were professionally refurbished)
- New brake discs and pads all round
- New sway bar links
- New SLS high pressure lines and fluid flushed
- New steering tie rods (inner and outer on both sides)
- New rear windscreen imported from Germany (replaced due to de-lamination of defroster element)
- New engine mounts
- New timing chain, tensioner and guide rails
- New valve stem oil seals and guides (basically the top end was redone, head gasket up everything was rebuilt)
- New camshaft oiler tube clips
- New idle control valve
- New coolant hoses everywhere
- New vacuum lines and check valves
- New spark plug wires and cap
- New plenum gaskets (pretty much anything made of rubber in the engine bay has been replaced)
- New odometer gears
- New hood insulation
- New floor mats
- And obviously all fluids have been flushed (power steering, transmission, SLS, etc...)

I easily have about $20k all in and have receipts to prove it. The car was put in storage in Ottawa,
Ontario, Canada a few month after the photos were taken. Its about an hour from Ogdensburg, NY. It
was not a daily driver or anything like that. It was just my toy. I know people in the U.S like to
say the "moisture" in Canada can cause a car to rust, so after much research I had it rust proofed
with Corrosion Free 3000 when I imported it, which is apparently what the military use for their
vehicles. So regardless, there is no rust, there never was and there never will be. For the folks
who like to ask whether its ready to be driven across the country, the answer is definitely YES!

The car has the following problems;

1. The driver's seat has a small slit in it. Nothing wrong with the frame, backrest or springs.
Its easily repairable but good quality leather replacement covers are available from places like
GAHH so I would just replace it. All the other seats look completely unused.
2. The transmission oil pan gasket leaks a few drops a week. I've replaced the gasket about 3 times
now and it still drips. I can only assume that the pan is slightly warped. Genuine replacement is
like $100.
3. The cruise control stalk is loose and doesn't work properly. I have a replacement unit yet to
be installed.

The car is stock. There are no "tasteful mods" (if you pardon the Euro lights, original NAM spec
lights are included)

I'm an honest person and a Mercedes enthusiast (was part of MBCA and I've built more than a few
Mercedes engines). I'm just trying to sell my garage queen. I'll be happy to answer any questions
over email or we can exchange phone numbers. The car is also listed on autotrader and kijiji.

I've added 10 high res photos. If they don't show up, please email me and I'll send them to you.

FYI the speaker covers have since been replaced (seen broken in the photos).

Wingsuits are somehow involved in new season of 'Top Gear'

Mon, Jan 14 2019

It's a shame that Matt LeBlanc is leaving "Top Gear," but there's a bit of solace in the situation: There's still one more season of him as frontman. BBC just released the new trailer for series 26, and it shows LeBlanc, Chris Harris and Rory Reid getting into all sorts of shenanigans around the globe. "Top Gear" announced LeBlanc's imminent departure back in May 2018, but he still had to finish one more season before leaving. Thus, the upcoming series will be his last, and it looks like he'll go out in a whirlwind of dust, bent metal, water spray and burnt rubber. The trailer shows everything expected from a season of the storied automotive show (well, everything except Hammond, May, and Clarkson, if you're one of those people). There will be precision driving, dubious stunts, name-calling and gobs of stunning videography. In the short one-minute clip, there are flashes of numerous attention-piquing vehicles. The new Bentley Continental GT, a Bentley Le Mans racer, Porsches, Ferraris, the Aston Martin Vantage, and the Mercedes-AMG GT all make appearances. And for some random fun, the boys are seen in wingsuits (doubtful it's actually them), and playing polo in some three-wheel rickshaws (before wrecking said rickshaws). We'll update with more information as soon as we know when the show will start.

Next Mercedes-Benz C-Class to get diesel, hybrid versions

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

Mercedes-Benz is planning a more aggressive product strategy for its next-generation C-Class range. "We were fighting the 3 Series with two arms tied behind our back, and now we will change that," Steve Cannon, the automaker's US CEO, told Automotive News in a recent interview.
In addition to offering more body styles of the new C-Class, AN reports that the revamped Mercedes will also be offered here with hybrid and diesel powertrains. Currently, the C-Class comes in coupe and sedan variants, with only gasoline engines. The BMW 3 Series, however, is available as a sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon, and offers buyers the choice of gasoline, diesel (the upcoming 328d) or hybrid power.
Mercedes-Benz will show the next-generation C-Class at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, with sales of the US-built sedan following in August. Coupe, convertible and hybrid models will follow in early 2015, and while diesel and all-wheel-drive versions are planned, no specific timetable has been released regarding availability.

Dartz promises own 6x6 G-Class with golden shishas and a dining room

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

So you didn't really think Dartz Motorz was going to let the limited-production, 544-horsepower Mercedes 6x6 G63 AMG go without a challenge, did you? Picking up the gauntlet as only Dartz can, the Russian dream-makers have come up with the Sahara G-eopard, supposedly a special request from a buyer to make one of the 'standard' six-wheelers "more opulent and insane."
That means the vehicle from the factory gets extended by about a foot (30 centimeters), coach doors in the rear, a "yacht floor" and air conditioning that runs on its own power source, Asanti 24-inch Gold Bullion wheels and a water dispenser with Russian diamonds, which the owner will need to fill the golden shishas (hookahs) in the portable smoking room. That's right, you heard the man: a portable smoking room. Where the occupants will retire when they're finished in the portable dining room. Of course.
Yes, it will even have leopard spotting painted onto its nano-coating, and so much more. You can check out the press release below from the source. Try not to be jealous.
