I am selling this car for my mother, who lives 425 miles away in North Carolina. I will do my very best to describe the car, but if there are any questions I may not have instant answers, but I'll certainly relay them to her and get an answer as soon as possible. She has owned this car since 2004, and I've been quite familiar with the car since then. She's selling the car now because she just bought a new C-Class. The car has a brand new catalytic converter, as well as O2 sensors. I was just at her place last week and drove the car for a day. Its still a terrific driving car. Mechanically, the engine is strong and the transmission shifts smoothly. Car handles great. Brakes work good. Honestly, the only issues I know of are: the battery probably needs to be replaced. She hasn't driven it much in the last couple of months, so its had to be jumped a few times, but I never had any issues while running several errands the day I had it. If I were I near the car, Id just replace it myself now. The radio is not currently working, but I believe this to be due to battery failure as its asking for a code. This should be easily rectified. She tells me the mechanic who replaced the catalytic converter told her that the driver power seat is not working. I did not notice this as I didn't try to adjust, but i would think this is just a fuse or something if it is indeed not working. Aside from that, its just normal wear and tear that one might expect from a 15 year old car with almost 240k miles.

The car is built like a tank and feels extremely safe on the road. She's kept up with maintenance very well on the car the entire time she's had it. Aside from routine maintenance, I specifically recall it going in for service to the air conditioner a couple years ago (working now), as well as having the audio amplifier replaced a year or so ago. The paint is far from perfect, but really not bad. I noticed some little dings on the front of the car that looked like various bugs, tiny pebbles, and any other small road debris had hit it over years of highway driving. Nothing glaring. The interior is in pretty good shape for its age. No rips, stains, or anything major like that. Just wear.

She hates to see it go. She just felt it was time for something new. However, she's told me multiple times that she doesn't love her new car like she does the CLK, and that's she's considered just keeping it. But two cars makes no sense for her, so the old one has to go. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive gets official US launch

Mon, Jul 21 2014

It's finally time to plug in the first production Mercedes-Benz-branded electric vehicle in the US. The Daimler division, which also sells a few of its battery-electric Smart ForTwo vehicles here in the states, has officially launched sales of the Mercedes-Benz B-Class ED. Even better, the US will be the first market in the world to give the general public access to the new plug-in. As with many other EV debuts, the flyover states will have to wait a bit. Mercedes-Benz is only selling the B-Class ED in 10 coastal states, including California, Oregon, New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Maine, and hasn't said anything about when a broader release might happen. Earlier this month, the US Department of Energy rated the B-Class electric with an 87-mile single-charge range, which is comparable to that of the Nissan Leaf and BMW i3. The other shoe dropped, though, when it was revealed that the model has an 84 miles per gallon equivalent rating, which is about 30 percent less then both of those other EVs. The culprit for the model, which puts out 177 horsepower and has a base price of $41,150, is its heavier curb weight. Check out Autoblog's "First Drive" impressions here.

Mercedes considering GLA-based crossover coupe

Wed, 30 Apr 2014

BMW opened a whole Pandora's Box when it introduced the X6 back in 2008. Sure it made little sense, sacrificing all that "utility" for a little more "sport," but it's been a solid success for BMW - especially considering the nominal expense it cost to develop the X6 on top of the X5 on which it's based. Little wonder that, while BMW has already followed up with a smaller version in the form of the X4, other automakers are starting to catch up. And that includes Mercedes-Benz.
The German automaker is preparing to launch a new MLC, based on the M-Class but with a sportier silhouette, and previewed it with the Concept Coupe SUV at the Beijing Motor Show. But that's just the start, according to the latest report from Automotive News Europe.
Mercedes is reportedly considering spinning off an entire line of crossovers more for use on the road than off it. Which may go without saying for most crossovers on the market, but considering the Geländwagen with which Mercedes got its start in SUVs, would mean an even further departure than it has undertaken already.

Mercedes C-Class Coupe caught

Thu, Jan 22 2015

The Mercedes C-Class Coupe is getting ready for a launch later this year and that means it has to come out and test its long, wide shoulders. Spy photographers caught it in camo around Stuttgart, and there's a bolt-on piece that makes it appear to have a BMW 6 Series-like trunk, but you can ignore that. Genuine changes include it being lower, wider, and "noticeably sportier" as we've been told, and the side mirrors are mounted on the doors instead of in the triangle between the A-pillar and beltline, where they are on the sedan. As with the new sedan, this coupe looks much more mature than the current model, and even under the camo you can see how the sculpting has been emphasized. Notice how the upper swage maintains its punch as it runs through the door handle and over the rear wheel, instead of dipping below the door handle and softening as it does on the sedan. It could get an intro at the Paris Motor Show, maybe even with the convertible by its side, and it's expected to go on sale in Europe later this year. Let your eyes have a taste in the spy shots above.
