1989 Mercedes 190d Daily Driver, Very Clean And Runs Great on 2040-cars
Beverly, Massachusetts, United States
|
MB 1989 190D is an exceptionally clean daily driver. Newly rebuilt transmission. No need to plug in during a cold northeast winter! Many recent parts replaced to include tie rods & drag links, muffler, flex disks front struts, steering dampener, wheel bearings,brake pads, rotors, tires( conti's), antenna mast, windshiled, ABS module, AC compressor etc. Car gets 37mpg combined. Oil changed religiously every 3k. All work done by the best mercedes shop in the area. Sun roof lubed 3x per year and works without flaw. AC blows cold. Door locks all operate. Engine purrs. A few flaws( left rear window switch inop, defrost blows hot air) Beautifully running car that i hate to sell, but I have orders to get rid of a car. Why the asking price of $6500? The engine has at least another 250,000 miles on it, and it wasn't cheap to get the car updated. That said, diesel motors that can burn virtually "anything" are a dying breed, while all the new cars have a thin margin for diesel fuel blend with alcohol and have finicky exhaust emeissions controls. This car has no emmissions controls. It has no GPS system keeping track of you or other such invasive devices. I guess you could convert it to run on salad dressing if you desire. Perhaps I should keep this car;> I will be happy to answer any of your quesitons, and to send a few more photos along that didn't get included on ebay. (Mark Boston Area).

New Die Hard movie wrecked 132 cars in $11 million chase scene [w/video]
Sat, 16 Feb 2013It would seem the act of dying hard brings with it lots of wanton destruction of the four-wheeled kind. According to John Moore, director of A Good Day To Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again. Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there... That's the fun of it."
Please join us in one great big collective sigh. Done? Okay, let's continue.
"With Die Hard it's about how audacious the action is," says Moore. "So you have to drive over a Lamborghini. An actual one. And yes it hurts me. I'm a car fanatic." Yeah. Sounds like it hurt really bad... though not as bad as the final tally after all the carnage had been counted: "Someone showed me the numbers on the car chase and soup to nuts, you put it all together it was like an $11 million sequence."
Volvo S60 Polestar concept plays in the snow with Mercedes C63 AMG
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Chris Harris took to a snowy stretch of tarmac to get a fingertips-on-the-wheel feel of the Volvo S60 Polestar concept. Harris says the turbocharged sedan with 508 horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque - and a manual transmission - is "a study to see if Volvo can get back into the fast-car market." The Polestar S60 concept, one of which was already purchased for $300,000 by a private buyer, is still making the publicity rounds because even Volvo's Chinese owners realize that, as Harris says, "Volvo sold more cars because it made fast cars" like the old 850 T5 Wagon that stormed the British Touring Car Championship in the 1990s.
For reference, Harris compares the blue wonder to the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and its 487 hp and 442 lb-ft. The question is, were Volvo to get the price of a production version of the S60 Polestar to climb way down from its 200,000-pound sticker, could it be worthy competition to the established giants?
You can watch Harris divine the answer via a lot of drifting through the snow and a drag race in the video below.
Mercedes says it's tops in luxury sales for 2012, not BMW
Tue, 19 Feb 2013It turns out that Mercedes-Benz North America has legitimate claim to being the top selling luxury nameplate in the US in 2012.
While sources such as Autodata had put BMW in the top spot, registration data from R.L. Polk shows that Mercedes customers registering new vehicles topped the Bavarian automaker in the most recent calendar year. Polk says Benz posted 274,123 registrations, compared with BMW's 268,498.
In terms of sales posted, BMW had bested Benz 281,460 to 274,134. But sales are recorded somewhat inconsistently from automaker to automaker. Some book the sales as soon as they are shipped from factory to dealer. There is perennial gamesmanship between the two German rivals, and the sales numbers suggest that BMW pushed out some extra sheetmetal to dealers in the last four weeks of the year.
