I have recently put over $5000.00 into major repairs on my car. I have all the receipts for the work that was done. New A/C system from R12 to R134a, Complete new fuel system, New Timing Chain, Newer tranny and brakes, new AUX cooling fan 165,000 Miles, Black original paint in good condition with a few light scratches and a few pebble chips on the hood. The interior is leather and in fair condition. There are some cracks on the dash and a small tear on the arm rest where your elbow rest. The passengers seat is good but the drivers side has a few splits along the seams in the seat area. But the seat back is good. And headrest are good. All just normal wear and tear on a convertible that is 25 years old. I am the 3rd owner. I bought it from a friend who bought it from his boss who bought it new. The original sticker is in the glove box. The car was always garage kept until recently. It has a AM/FM Cassette Player with a cd changer in the trunk. It has both the hard top and the soft top. The soft top is in good condition. The rear plastic window has a little sunburn but can still see out. The 3 things that I can think of that are wrong with the car is that the previous owner removed the vanity mirrors on the visors for whatever reason I don't know. Also the drivers side handle on the exterior is slightly loose but not bad and it works fine. And the trunk latch needs to be adjusted. it works fine but sometimes if you it a bump hard enough it will pop open. Other than that the car for its age is in really good shape. I bought this car as a fun car to drive around town in with the top down. Found it needed all the repairs that I have done to it. I had the repairs down and it has just sat in my driveway since. I have a truck that I drive all the time and never drive the car. And I would like to sell the car and recoup my money. In short I need the money more than the car. It's a great car now I just don't need it. If you have any questions please ask me. Thank you and good luck bidding.

Geely plans to launch hundreds of satellites to guide autonomous cars
Wed, Mar 4 2020BEIJING — China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group said on Tuesday it was investing 2.27 billion yuan ($326 million) in a new satellite manufacturing plant, where it plans to build low-orbit satellites to provide more accurate data for self-driving cars. Geely, one of China's most internationally-known companies due to its investments in Daimler, Volvo and Proton, is building the facilities in Taizhou, where it has car plants. It aims to produce 500 satellites a year by around 2025, with around 300 highly-skilled staff, it said in a statement. Geely's technology development arm, Geely Technology Group, launched Geespace to research, launch, and operate low-orbit satellites in 2018. Geespace will begin the launch of its commercial low-orbit satellite network by the end of this year, Geely said. Geely said low-orbit satellites would offer high speed internet connectivity, precise navigation, and cloud computing capabilities to cars with autonomous driving technology. Geely, which sold 2.18 million cars last year, is among global automakers from Tesla to Toyota to pursue autonomous driving technologies. It is building low-orbit satellites to meet demand for high-speed connectivity capabilities that can deliver fast software updates. From around 2025, Geely's cars will have more functions to connect to the satellites. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

First Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive rolls off line, coming to US soon
Fri, Apr 18 2014Mercedes-Benz is about to give Americans another choice of battery-powered vehicle. Offering more all-electric range than the Nissan Leaf or BMW i3, and with a smaller price tag than the Tesla Model S, the B-Class Electric Drive is officially set to arrive in the US this summer. Indeed, the first examples have begun rolling off the production line in Rastatt, Germany. Featuring drivetrain parts from Tesla Motors, the luxury compact hits all the performance parameters mentioned during its debut at last year's New York Auto Show. For a refresher, that's a single-charge range of 200 kilometers (124 miles) along with a 0-to-100 kilometer-per-hour (62 mile-per-hour) sprint in a respectable 7.9 seconds. These achievements comes courtesy of a 28-kWh lithium battery located in the floor of the passenger compartment and a 132-kW (177-horsepower) motor powering the front wheels. Torque specs for the unit seemed to have increased somewhat and are now given as 340 Newton meters (250.77 pound-feet). It boasts an 11-kW charger and can add as much as 62 miles of range to a deleted battery in an hour and a half. Sadly, it is not Supercharger compatible. The B-Class Electric Drive, which is built on the same production line as the gasoline-powered version, is going to go on sale in Europe around the end of the year and will also come in a right-hand drive version for other markets in 2015. Although pricing has not yet been announced, Mercedes execs expect it to be quite competitive with the BMW i3. Scroll below for the press release (Google translated from German). Model offensive: Mercedes-Benz launches first major series for electric cars - the start of production at Mercedes-Benz in Rastatt: B-Class Electric Drive begins For the first time large-scale production of Mercedes-Benz models with internal combustion engine and electric drive on the same line Stefan Abraham: "With the B-Class Electric Drive we are expanding our production portfolio at the Rastatt plant is a highly innovative drive variant." In the Mercedes-Benz plant in Rastatt today through the first B-Class Electric Drive off the line. This makes Mercedes-Benz models are produced with internal combustion engine and electric drive on the same line at the site for the first time. The B-Class Electric Drive is based on the Mercedes-Benz front-wheel drive architecture of the new Mercedes-Benz compact car generation and uses the modular component kit.
