1987 Mercedes-benz 190-series 2.3-16v Cosworth on 2040-cars
Altadena, California, United States
Rare 1987 Mercedes 190e 2.3L -16v with 88k miles. Been stored since 2003, recently registered and up to date tags, 5 speed dog leg transmission, own a very rare piece of automotive history with a racing legacy. Mercedes Benz only imported 2,200 of these between 1986-87 for US customers.
This car sat in a garage for 10 years prior to me purchasing it. Why buy an all original car when you can get a car with all new bushings, control arms etc..Needless to say, it is one of a kind, and truly fun to drive, and not many in this good of condition are still on the road.Recenty replaced engine mounts and transmission mount, new rear bushings,new rear adjustable control arms (all from HedgeHog motorsports - $1700 value). Lowered on bilstein shocks, H&R Springs, drilled rotors, new rear axles, rebuilt rear differential, 16" mercedes SL rims with brand new Toyo Proxes Tires, new kenwood USB stereo, Euro headlights.. I have put a lot of work into the car since owning it.
All the hard work has been done. I have receipts covering its 27 year history. All numbers match. Clean CA title, straight body, all gauges work with exception of lap timer which is common. Interior in good condition with Mercedes floor mats, car cover, Drives and shifts good.
Have tons of extra parts including 500e sway bars and H&R swaybars, original headlights, extra set of rims and more. Magnaflow exhaust, no cats. I have a seperate bolt on exhaust system that will let make it pass smog. Will not pass smog legally. Registration good till 2014, smog check good for 2 years.
These cars are starting to appreciate in value just as when the e30 M3's did a few years back. This will eventually be a $20-$30k car if you were to simply sit on it. Cons:
Dash cracked, Odometer stopped working at 88k miles. Paint is patina in some areas, sunroof doesnt open, lap timer doesnt work, this is a 70/100 car, The AC is non operational at this time, antenna doesnt go up and down. Put some work into the interior and new paint and you will have a 100/100 car. Shipping is buyers responsibility, I am willing to hold on to the vehicle for free at a safe place until it is picked up or arranged for shipment, if i have to store the vehicle for a while I will be more glad to do so for free but it must be paid for in full first.
I will only accept cash in hand, Money orders, Bank cashiers checks. No personal checks will be accepted I am sorry. |

Next Mercedes S-Class stretching into this 600 Pullman limo
Fri, 15 Mar 2013To the concern of nobody in particular, Mercedes-Benz will not be re-upping its Maybach line of ultra-luxury limousines. No, instead the German automaker will be stretching its already roomy S-Class, to make this upcoming 600 Pullman version of the decked-out beast.
The car in our new gallery of spy shots is sporting beefy B-pillars and a massive set of rear doors that should allow perfectly graceful ingress and egress from what is likely to be a palatial rear space. (In one photo we can even see a long-wheelbase S-Class in line with the new Pullman, handily exhibiting the size of the new variant.) The exterior modifications are otherwise obscured, though we can guess at revised front and rear fascia and lighting elements, based on both end being heavily taped for these test runs.
It's a good bet that the Pullman will make use of M-B's twin-turbocharged V12 engine, though sources indicate that a hybrid version might eventually be in the offing, as well.
Mercedes was set to sell version of Nissan Titan, now Infiniti might instead
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Mercedes-Benz Titan. Mercedes-Benz Frontier. Mercedes-Benz pickup truck. None of these things roll off the tongue particularly well. We'd like to think that's the reason Daimler opted to kill the idea of rebadged Titan and Frontier pickups from corporate ally Nissan. In reality, the execution before the Frankfurt Motor Show was due to more complicated issues.
Yes, Mercedes, byword for German luxury, style and quality, would have slapped a three-pointed star on a pair of Japanese pickup trucks that have failed to resonate with consumers in the world's largest truck market. That slapping of badges isn't much of an exaggeration, at least on the outside. According to the report from Road & Track, the truck's front clip would have been tweaked, but beyond that, the sheetmetal would have been unchanged. The interior would have received a more thorough going-over by the team at Mercedes, while the suspension and noise, vibration and harshness tuning would have also received significant attention.
The trucks would have ended up being sold through the light-commercial branch of Mercedes-Benz - the same folks that will happily sell you a Sprinter van - had the deal gone through. Issues arose, though, first with the engines. Mercedes wanted a wider range of powertrains to allow it to tune models for specific markets, while Nissan said it couldn't engineer the wide variety of engines that MB wanted to drop under the hood. For the smaller truck, meanwhile, MB was interested in a hybrid or plug-in variant, according to R&T, although this was also shot down by Nissan.
Mercedes FWD platform to last until 2018, convertible and two-seater future uncertain
Mon, 22 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz seems to be expecting a lot of success from its front-wheel-drive CLA-Class. Automotive News is reporting that the sub-C-Class sedan could grow when its second generation arrives in 2018.
The current FWD platform for MB underpins the CLA, the B-Class, the GLA-Class, and the A-Class. The B-Class will arrive in North America as an EV for spring of 2014, while the production GLA crossover will arrive three to four months after that. The five-door A-Class won't be crossing The Pond. Sad faces all around.
According to AN, another model will be based on the front-drive architecture, but it won't be coming to the US market. Set to arrive next year, rumors are that it'll be a wagon version of the CLA, sort of like the ill-named five-door CLS Shooting Brake that is also a Europe-only item.
