You are viewing one of the nicest 240 Diesels in the World. This car is a 2 owner car and was owned by a collector and properly stored in a climate controlled garage. This beautiful Mercedes 240 D is Light Ivory on the exterior with a Palamino Interior. The car has 145,209 miles which is less than 5K miles a year . The paint on this car is all original and looks brand new. I will be very descriptive and detailed about this car as I consider it to be one of the best cars in the world. There are no dings, no scratches, not even a stone chip. There is no rust anywhere, and you couldn't find a 2013 car with nicer paint than this one. I am blown away by how amazing it looks after 31 years. The interior of the car is also pristine in every way. You will notice there is no fading in the seats, they are firm and all the stitching is in place like when new. The wood is in excellent condition. The dash is pristine with no cracks or blemishes. Carpets, headliner are also in great condition. There are no odors in this car, and it is a smoke free car. Everything works properly inside the car. The heat is hot, and the air condition is ice cold. Power sunroof slides back perfect and quiet. The original Becker Europa Radio still works perfectly as done the Antenna. In the trunk, you will find the original spare tire and tools. Medical kit is still new, as well.

Here is the detailed info about this beautiful 240 D. The car just had a major service 600 miles ago and 3K was spent on making this car perfect. As a result, it does not need any service. The following was completed on the car: 4 brand new Toyo tires , new brake pads and rotors, new flex disc on drive shaft. Inside the engine compartment the following was done: valves were adjusted, new timing chain tensioner , new glow plugs, injectors were tested and work perfectly, new injector seals, new fuel hoses, new air filter , fresh oil change using Shell Rotella 15/40 oil, new fuel filters, new motor mounts, transmission mount, new vacuum pump, so all the doors close when locked along with trunk and there is a new valve cover gasket and a new battery. The exhaust is perfect and rust free as is the undercarriage of the car.

The following was completed on the engine compartment: I had the compression checked and it was 450 across all 4 cylinders. This is the same values as if it was brand new. Therefore, I was excited to know not only do I have a car that looks like new, but I have one that has an engine that isn't even broken in. I removed the valve cover and had it polished along with the oil filter housing and air filter housing, and the power steering cover was chromed because its steel. All the lines are still the original gold color and not faded like most. Doing this to the engine, gave the car a new image and it truly looks spectacular and show quality. There are no leaks anywhere in the engine compartment or transmission. The engine runs like a watch very smoothly. The transmission also shifts perfect with no jerking. I drove this car 600 miles home and it was truly one of the best rides ever. It got amazing fuel mileage in the mid 30s the car cruised at 75 to 80 mph the whole way with no problem. I was stopped by many times when I stopped for gas, and people asked me where on earth did this car come from. It looks new and they were amazed it was a 1982.

In closing, I have sold many Mercedes 123 chasis cars here on Ebay. I polished a handful of engines and made them unique, but I never had one this amazing and new in every way. I don't know if the pictures will show off the cars paint, but I have to say it is truly the nicest original paint I have ever seen on a Mercedes. I feel this car is very special and hoping it goes to a good home and to one that someone will take care of it like a baby throughout its entire life. If you see closely, you can see how the rubber on the bumpers fit perfectly and tight and are black as when new. The headlight doors are perfect with no chips or cracks. Even the headlight filler underneath the headlight does not have a stone chip in it. You will never see a car like this again. It truly is as close to buying a new 240 D as possible, and it needs nothing done to it. Bid with confidence and please do not bid if you can't pay for the car or have a negative rating. I will answer any questions you have, and I am hoping someone clicks the buy it now and sees how special this car is and that its the best one on the planet. Good luck and Happy bidding .

Aston Martin and Daimler continue talks on SUV project, CEO required

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

The Aston Martin Lagonda SUV concept revealed at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show didn't earn the plaudits the company is used to when it reveals new models, and it has lived an uncertain life ever since. Thought to have been scrapped along with the entire revival of the Lagonda brand, then thought to have been resurrected due to Chinese, Middle Eastern and Russian demand, another year passed before we heard more definitive talk about an Aston Martin expansion when AutoCar reported that the Lagonda could be built on one of Mercedes-Benz's AMG SUV platforms.
A report in Automotive News Europe indicates plans have gotten serious, its unnamed sources saying that the English carmaker is talking to Daimler "to extend their cooperation to building an SUV." Neither Daimler, Aston Martin nor Investindustrial, the managing partner among Aston Martin's ownership consortium, would comment. But with Investindustrial having pledged to expand the range, competitors like Bentley, Maserati and Lamborghini getting into the SUV racket and clear demand from current and future customers, it's easy to believe Aston Martin is working hard to put the pieces together.
One further potential bump on the road to an Aston SUV is the company's search for a new CEO. Ulrich Bez relinquished to top spot at the company at the end of 2013, and Aston reportedly will not finalize its model strategy without a new CEO in place.

Clark Gable's 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing doesn't sell, then does sell for $1.85 million [UPDATE: w/video]

Sat, 19 Jan 2013

How much extra value does previous celebrity ownership add to of a car? Really, there's no way to know until the car in question hits the auction block and bidders start raising their hands. In the case of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing you see above, the celebrity owner is none other than Clark Gable, who purchased it new. After Gable's death in 1960, the car changed hands a few times before settling with Charles Wood in 1975.
A high-dollar restoration was performed in 1989, and period accessories added by Gable himself were kept in place, including the Rudge knock-off wheels and Nardi steering wheel. Any Mercedes-Benz 300SL is worth a big chunk of money. In the case of Clark Gable's old Gullwing, the bidding stalled at $1.9 million here at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale. As one of the 5000-series cars, this 300SL carried a reserve, and a bit of after-the-fact dealmaking saw the car change hands for $1.85 million.
You can see our high-res image gallery above, and the car's official auction description below.

Mercedes says it's tops in luxury sales for 2012, not BMW

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

It 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.
