Mercedes 190e 2.3 Litre 16-valve Cosworth + Manual Getrag "dogleg" Transmission on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
|
I have for sale a 1986 Mercedes 190e 2.3 16v Cosworth plus an extra original Getrag Manual "Dogleg" Transmission . For those of you who
are looking at this ad, you know that this is a true Mercedes
collector's car. It was built for the race track and was beautifully
engineered to provide amazing driving performance. I purchased this car because of my fascination with the history of this vehicle and general love for Mercedes engineering. I have found it to be so much fun to drive even with having the automatic transmission. I had intended to swap in a manual transmission (notes below about extra tranny) but my wife and I are planning to return to Europe much sooner than we had thought so I must sell this vehicle much sooner than I had hoped. I hope that it will provide many years of enjoyment to its new owner.
Almost all of the options work apart from the passenger rear window and the sunroof. The sunroof motor operates with the switch but the sunroof itself doesn't move. All of the seats are still in good condition but would need minor repair work in a few areas, which is very common for these vehicles. The door panels are also in good condition with the two rear panels needing some repair where they meet the window. The car's radio was also upgraded to a mechless usb/mp3/aux input head unit and the car's exhaust was also upgraded, giving the car a much nicer sound and improving its performance. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly and the car is very fun to drive, providing great acceleration and handling. Here is a list of mechanical repairs that were done, some of which are very important for keeping the car in its original condition: Water pump replaced Front and rear suspension bushings replaced Rear hydraulic suspension repaired Posi rear suspension repaired Belt tensioner replaced. AC system repaired and recharged. Front brake calipers and rotors upgraded Cooling system repaired All new tires and upgraded wheels put on (tires still under warranty with Discount Tire) Car's paint is in very good condition New battery With the sale, I will also include an extra Getrag 5 speed manual 'dogleg' gearbox (rare and difficult to find) as well as an extra hydraulic fluid pump and reservoir. My original intention was to convert the car to a manual transmission so I purchased this transmission from someone who had this as a good back up in case his transmission ever went out. I don't have a lot of information on it. The blue you might see on the side of it in the pictures is just left over tape that was put around where the linkages attach to protect them. The slave cylinder looks new and generally the transmission looks to be in good condition. The conversion to manual is not a very difficult swap and this is the hardest element to find, particularly with this specific shift pattern. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any further questions at 6029185887. |

Mercedes Concept GLA45 AMG is ready to run
Wed, 20 Nov 2013This is the Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA45 AMG, and what we mean by that is, "This is the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG." Mercedes has just unveiled the liveried 'concept' at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, giving potential customers a very good look at the newest lunatic in the AMG asylum - a 355-horsepower, 332-pound-foot crossover that uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in the CLA45 AMG and Europe's A45 AMG.
Joined with a seven-speed, AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission and an AMG Performance 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, Mercedes promises a sub-five-second run to 60 miles per hour. That's not just quick for a crossover, that's quick full stop.
That sleek, lifted body has also been tweaked by the minds at AMG's Affalterbach facility. A new rear spoiler, side sills and front clip are the primary aerodynamic tweaks. Aesthetically, AMG has fitted the requisite "Turbo" badges, gloss-black accents (including exhaust tips and roof rails) and a set of 21-inch, AMG-spec alloy wheels to round out the overall package. Based on the spy shots we've seen, expect slightly toned down aerodynamics when the GLA45 AMG arrives in showrooms.
Does Alex Rodriguez' Mercedes dealership have a PR problem?
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Alex Rodriguez, in case you haven't heard, is seemingly the new Most Hated Man In Baseball, ostensibly replacing commissioner Bud Selig (for now). Rodriguez was slammed with a 211-game suspension due to his role in the MLB's latest steroid scandal in which "A-Roid," as fans have taken to calling the former superstar, was cited with steroid use and attempts to hide his involvement by "engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate" the investigation, according to the MLB's official report.
Why is this on a car site, then? Because Rodriguez' name is attached Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz in League City, TX. An Ad Age report cites Mercedes-Benz USA in saying that A-Rod owns "about half'" of the dealership. Mercedes, for what it's worth, isn't going to any to any lengths to distance itself from its dealership or its controversial namesake, saying, "We never promoted the fact that A-Rod owned a dealership, so there's really nothing to 'distance' ourselves from. And since his activity is not illegal but rather prohibited by MLB, there's nothing actionable here."
With the scandal still a fresh piece of news and A-Rod's pending appeal, it's difficult to tell what sort of effect, if any, his name will have on the dealership's sales. Ad Age contacted the GM of Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz to get the dealership's view, but no calls were returned. According to Mercedes, any name change is up to Rodriguez and his partner(s) at the dealership. Somehow, though, we think A-Rod has other things to worry about beyond his dealership's name.
European automakers gear up for Brazilian production
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
