California Legal 1985 Mercedes-Benz 280 GE with 88,1xx miles: It is equipped with a Eurospec M110 2.8L inline 6 engine with K-Jet fuel injection, 4 speed manual transmission, 4 wheel drive system with front, center and rear locking differentials. The gears shift smoothly and the 4x4 system works marvelously. The geolander tires have about 10,000 miles on them and have plenty of tread left. The a/c blows ice cold. Overall this gwagon is in excellent condition. This 1985 280
GE was imported to the US by Europa (c. 2000) and was purchased by myself in
November 2010. In 2011 the g-wagon was brought to meet California’s strict
emissions standards by the CA Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) thus made 50
state legal in 2011 - an expensive and time consuming process required of all
out of state grey market vehicles “imported” to CA. Since then it has served as
my daily driver. These vehicles are well known for their off road
capabilities, used extensively by NATO and German armed forces throughout the
world. This gwgaon has been driven off road only a handful of times, limited to
dirt fire roads. I have used it extensively for lake runs and every summer it
has comfortably towed the boat and jet skis 1200 miles back and forth to Lake
Powell without complaint. No matter how you plan to use this gwagon it will be
an all around great vehicle. In 2012 I grew dissatisfied with the low power of the stock 280
M110 engine and opted to have a Mercedes M110 Eurospec engine installed. For
those unfamiliar with the Eurospec it delivers about 40 horsepower more than
the standard Mercedes 280 M110. It operates at a higher compression than the
standard 280 and uses 91 octane. The
added horsepower has really made a huge difference on the freeway – tops out
around 95MPH - and when towing. The
engine swap was done by Attwood European in Phoenix, AZ. All maintenance has been carried out by certified Mercedes mechanics
with strong track records maintaining these original gwagons. Receipts are
available and can be provided upon request.
The last service was completed on June 12 and is due for the next at
89,000 miles. During the 78,000 mile service my technician found the rear main
seal was leaking slightly. I have notice some days it will release about a
teaspoon amount of oil when sitting overnight, while other days I won’t notice
anything. Shipping is available; while I will not be able to provide
quotes, I will personally insure safe delivery to the shipping agent. VIN: WDB46023317030355 Please feel free to email me with any questions. *The stereo system is loaded with XM satellite radio and full iPod

Some intriguing showstoppers from Auto China 2024
Sat, May 4 2024“Electric” may be the most appropriate word to describe the atmosphere at the recent Beijing motor show, now considered to be one of the worldÂ’s largest automobile exhibitions. ChinaÂ’s vision of the electric mobility future is on full display during the ten-day event, which ends this weekend. Organizers estimated that 117 new global and China-domestic models would debut in Beijing. In fact, about 30 foreign brands had stands, a turnout that hasnÂ’t been seen at auto shows since before the pandemic. The South Koreans and the Japanese came, and from Germany, representatives making the case for their brands included CEO Oliver Blume of Volkswagen Group, Oliver Zipse of BMW Group and Ola Kallenius of Mercedes-Benz Group. A few of the models would be powered by gasoline—by ICE, or internal combustion engines—but the vibe was clear: electrics are it. According to to show officials, Beijing hosted a total of 278 electric and plug-in hybrid models on display. After digesting most of the reveals unveiled during the show, weÂ’ve parsed a list to a select few of the more interesting models. Here it is, in no particular order: BYD Ocean-M concept BYD has launched off-roaders, SUVs and sedans in its global assault on the car market — and added a hot hatch concept at Auto China. The Ocean-M (above) is a Volkswagen Golf-sized five-door hatchback, meaning itÂ’s likely that BYD will pitch it as a rival for the Volkswagen ID.3 GTX. The show car has sporty design, rises sharply towards the rear window, and sharp surfacing at the front and along the flanks. The show car has a huge rear wing, aero diffuser and side blades.  Denza Z9GT BYDÂ’s luxury brand, Denza, a joint venture between BYD and Mercedes-Benz, showed the Z9 GT, a massive wagon carrying three electric motors putting out a stunning 952 horsepower. The EV weighs an extraordinary 6,338 pounds, almost 440 pounds more than a Rolls-Royce Cullinan. BYD's design boss is a German -- Wolfgang Egger, who previously worked for Alfa Romeo and Audi. Lamborghini Urus SE The Volkswagen subsidiary brought a bit of Italian sex appeal to Beijing in the form of “super” luxury SUV that received its first public premiere in China. The plug-in hybrid Uris SE SUV gets nearly 800 horsepower as well as a series of visual and technology updates inside and out.

BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.
Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.
