This is a great car that has it all!  This 5-speed manual is nimble and fun to drive, yet seats 5 with excellent cargo space. A rare car with black leather Recaro seats, MOMO steering wheel and shifter, Cosworth 16-valve cylinder head with mechanical valve lifters, Getrag gearbox (dogleg), self-leveling adjustable height, now-famous multilink rear suspension and first year for catalytic converter.  Just over 8,000 of these cars sold in 1985.

Maintenance records to 1989; family-owned since 1998

This car has a few flaws for her nearly 30 years on the road, but is still in great shape. Everything works, including the a/c and cruise control. The hood looks like it was repainted at some point and there are a few minor dings in the car.  The driver's seat leather is split at the seam but unnoticeable.  There is a nick in the wood to the right of the shifter. 

This car is leisurely driven by a middle-aged gal. It's practically a sin to have some old chick driving this car.  But, once upon a time it was owned by her big brother who knew and repaired Mercedes.  He passed away a few years ago and the car was kept for sentimental reasons.  

Over the past 4 years or so, there were new tires, exhaust and exhaust manifold, ignition, clutch (slave and master cylinders), a/c condenser and wiring harness, plug wires, self-leveling rod, and a new dashboard.  The timing chain was replaced. 

There are also some speaker or stereo wires running from the back seat into the trunk.  I think my brother may have been hooking up a CD changer or something.  I never removed the wires.

My favorite things are ... the sunroof, the way the car zips around roundabouts and corners and the sheer comfort of driving this car.

Btw ... I can put you in touch with somebody for an original radio ... reasonably priced.

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG rumbles on stage 4Matic style

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Bruce Hornsby and his soothing piano skills helped introduce us to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but the monstrous E63 AMG sedan needed no entrance music as it rumbled on stage. The 550-horsepower (and up) sedan sat proudly alongside the rest of the redesigned E-Class on stage at the Detroit Auto Show, but stood miles apart in intention and execution.
In addition to a choice of sedan and wagon body styles, the E63 AMG will also offer buyers the choice of the standard 550 hp or an upgraded 577-hp S-Model; regardless of output, all 2014 E63 AMG models will come standard with the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system.
We already saw the E63 AMG's aggressive styling last week, but now we have a full assortment of live images for you to enjoy as well as the Mercedes-Benz press release, which is also posted below.

Test drive the Mercedes SLS AMG Electric Drive with Chris Harris

Thu, 11 Apr 2013

It's hard to not like the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT. The all-aluminum coupe is fitted with a wonderful naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. Not only does the burly combustion engine launch the two-seater to 60 miles per hour in less than four seconds, but it does so with one of the world's greatest exhaust soundtracks as it roars, burbles and cackles down the road.
But what happens when Mercedes-Benz takes away the V8 and its accompanying fire-burning song? Stripped of one of its most appealing assets, does the SLS lose its soul?
Chris Harris recently had the opportunity to take the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive for a track spin in Europe. Sans gasoline, but with four electric motors providing a combined 740 horsepower (737 pound-feet of torque), all-electric all-wheel drive coupe uses sophisticated torque vectoring and a multi-mode operating system to put oversteer - drifting! - back into the equation. Fun? You bet. See for yourself, below.
