Good news first... this car does not leak any fluids, trans, power steer, brakes, cooling
or engine oil !! most MBZ diesels do due to the crankcase pressure. The engine and trans were installed from a low miles car, the work was done by Enrique at Mr MB motors 5557 Reseda Tarzana, CA. If you check a few MBZ diesel forums you will find great reports on this shop / mechanic, ie honest and cheap!, see picture of receipt. The turn signals, horn, windshield wipers, brake lights, euro parking lights all work, the electrical system works and there is Nothing draining the battery. I start and drive the car every week approx 5 -10 miles, and have done so the last 4 years. The title is clear with no tickets. The car will never require a smog check. This car is an excellent choice to convert to 100% WVO (waste veggie oil), Bio-Fuel etc. The heater / blower work well. No air conditioner or AC. The upholstery is in great shape. The car does not overheat. The car is easy to start. the car drives well. These 80's MBZ Turbo Diesel's are one of the most reliable cars EVER BUILT! Here are some Video's http://youtu.be/gMy7h5k7DS8 http://youtu.be/I4VGuntGQyE http://youtu.be/15z8ji1Rlm0 The vintage purple dark window tint is curling and removes with 0% glue residue left behind, and comes off easily. The rear window is a new Chinese laminate glass, coupled with a new $100. GERMAN rubber gasket both should last 25+ years., see pictures here http://www.flickr.com/photos/101058104@N08/ The wheels are an aluminum alloy with chrome plating. 2 of those wheels, (now in the trunk) have dissimilar metal corrosion and leak air, SO I have 2 standard MBZ wheels on the rear of the car currently. You get 6 wheels!! You can have the wheels re chromed, you can have the chrome removed for a flat aluminum finish perhaps OR go for a polished aluminum finish, your call. the sun roof opens and closes and does not leak, see video. The rear passenger window needs a new connector from the motors arm to the actual glass, so currently a piece of wood is inserted into the door to keep the window up, the upholstered panel and handle are in the trunk. The drivers side door will not unlock with the current key, this can be fixed perhaps or re-keyed to match the passanger side lock. All the gauges work, ex speedo, oil, tach except for the clock, which does turn, yet doesn't keep accurate time, as well as the non functioning odometer. The electric motor driven antenna does work, however it began to make a new noise so I cut and electrical taped the overly long wires off to prevent any damage to it, one is black one white so you can easily reconnect and diagnose the motor. The cruise control also works. The car has a new battery. I will show the car to anyone interested. I need a $400. pay-pal, non-refundable deposit within 36hrs of auction end and I need the car picked up / balance paid in cash within 10 days of auction end. I will assist in placing the car with a shipping / carrier company, ie I will drive it 35 miles from my zip of 91606 to a shipper, but you are responsible for all fees associated with said shipping. This car is sold as is and there are no returns, refunds or warranty. Good luck, bid early and often! |

Mercedes rules out hybrid supercar, promises SLS successor
Sat, 16 Mar 2013The recent Geneva Motor Show was a festival of hypercars, with the presence of not one, but three over-the-top debuts: the Lamborghini Veneno, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LeFerrari. The latter two have hitched their carbon fiber bumpers to the electrification bandwagon by using hybrid-electric powertrains not entirely unlike the propulsion systems we've come to know in cars like the Toyota Prius and Chevrolet Volt. Does that mean the flow of electrons up the four-wheeled food chain will eventually consume our hallowed supercars? Not if AMG has anything to say about it.
AMG Director of Vehicle Development Tobias Moers recently confirmed that not only will there be a successor to the Mercedes-Benz performance division's SLS AMG, he notes that its internal combustion engine will most definitely not be sharing living quarters with an electric drivetrain. Instead, AMG plans to focus on further pushing the power and efficiency envelope of the internal combustion engine and advancing the use of lightweight materials to achieve their goals. The first example of this effort can be seen in the new SLS AMG Black Series that incorporates many weight-saving techniques to shed some 154 pounds from the SLS AMG GT (above), which itself is lighter than the standard SLS AMG.
Furthermore, Moers remarks that his company is happy to leave the hypercar segment to companies like Ferrari and McLaren. He admits that, "Ferrari in the hyper-car segment is still a different brand than AMG. We have to be honest..." So rather than taking the SLS further upmarket to do battle with bulls and stallions, Moers hinted that the next-generation SLS may be joined by another performance model that fits neatly between itself and the C63 AMG.
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.
Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG
Thu, 25 Jul 2013A little over two months ago came reports that Daimler and Aston Martin were in talks, again, about "supply and technical-cooperation agreements." The next step has been taken with Aston Martin announcing that it has signed a Letter of Intent that looks "towards a technical partnership" with Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and the two companies aiming to have definitive agreements done by year's end.
While it will get to use certain electric and electronic components from AMG, the true golden egg for the maker of the Vanquish will be the ability to develop a new line of "bespoke V8 powertrains" that will be fitted to "a new generation of models." In return for opening up the larder, Daimler will get a non-voting stake of up to five percent of Aston Martin.
Nothing else is being said about the tie-up for the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more details.
