w/Trailer Hitch-Solid Dependable Stylish Ride
the W123 Series Mercedes built from 1979-1985
is the last over-engineered, most durable car they've ever made
This wagon runs & drives terrific. Transmission shifts smoothly and is tight.
Previous owner replaced the stock air filter with a free-flowing K&N performance filter unit. Other than that, the car is stock.
Car was originally white, but repainted before I took ownership.
A couple of paint nicks here and there, but overall very straight and a quality, high gloss paint job. The only rust I've seen is on driver's door
at bottom corner and it was addressed during the repaint. Original Blaupunkt radio/cassette works as well as does the auto up/down external radio antenna.
The Roof rack has the chrome cross-bars often missing and go for $500 used. Recent Service includes-brake work, with both rear calipers and brake lines replaced, oil & filter change, fuel filter(s) changed, new glove box door, new engine compartment sound insulation pad. The wagons came standard with hydraulic rear suspension referred to as SLS.
The SLS works great and soaks up the bumps but still rides comfortably.
Original owner's manual in excellent condition.
The car is striking in this unique color.
The not-so great?-interior could use some TLC. Dash has the usual cracks, but dash covers are only $100
Seats, carpet, etc I'd give a 6 out of 10. Left hand hood spring loose, but hood stays up fine in vertical position.
If you're looking for a solid classic with modern safety features that rides smooth as silk, and don't mind putting in a little TLC on interior, this car is a great car for you.
As I said, there are no known mechanical issues but it is a 29 year old vehicle and as so, is sold as-is with no warranty.
I encourage interested parties to see & drive the car in person.
Bidders with less than 5 on feedback score need to email me first before bidding.
This car was an extra play car/driving restoration project that now has to go due to divorce.
It is priced to sell, with No Reserve.
Please see my feedback and bid with confidence.

Mercedes A45 AMG in downhill battle with slipstream skateboarder
Mon, 30 Sep 2013We're told it takes "performance, control and expression" to pilot a longboard skateboard down a mountain road, and that those happen to be the same values embodied in the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG. That's how the two came to be combined in a black-and-white short film called Silver Slipstream.
There's no talking, no engine note and no color, just some music, a 'boarder and a car on a long cruise down the Franschhoek Pass in the Western Cape of South Africa." Despite that, it's actually a pretty entertaining video of the latest Mercedes-Benz hot hatch married with extreme sports. You can watch how it all goes down in the video below.
Mercedes-Petronas AMG W04 launched to little fanfare, lots of pressure [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013No indoor cocktail hour for the launch of the W04, the newest chassis built by the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One team. Instead, Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton spent a morning in photo and video sessions at the track in Jerez, Spain then paused a moment to introduce the car. The team will want the W04 to demonstrate the World Championship credentials of the team personnel and one of the team drivers, instead of the mostly humble performances we've seen over the past three years.
The W04 has been fitted with a new five-element front wing, pushrod front and pull-rod rear suspension, a second-generation Coanda exhaust and an "aggressively packaged" rear end. A small vanity panel, à la Infiniti Red Bull's RB9, covers the stepped nose.
Team principal Ross Brawn has called it "a clear step forward in design and detail sophistication," but as much as we truly respect Brawn's abilities and achievements, we heard him say similar things about the updated W03 last year before almost every race weekend from about mid-season. We really hope he's right this time, and so does the team's newest driver, Lewis Hamilton. We'll do our best to ignore the parallels of the Mercedes F1 team having signed a sponsorship deal with Blackberry, another company trying to find its way back to the top and still struggling, and just point you to the video below of the W04 in action.
Mercedes takes VW Westfalia Camper idea upscale with new Marco Polo
Wed, 09 Jul 2014Earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz revealed the new V-Class. Slotting in below the popular Sprinter, the new V-Class replaced both the Viano and Vito upon its debut at the Geneva Motor Show. But Mercedes isn't quite done with it just yet. At the upcoming Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, Germany, Mercedes will reveal the Marco Polo - a versatile, stylish and decidedly contemporary take on the classic camper van.
Named after the famous Italian explorer, the Marco Polo was converted by Westfalia, an outfit which you might more closely associate with classic VW camper vans but which Daimler absorbed over a decade ago. Offering, according to the press release below, "a maximum of opportunities to be independent, free and spontaneous," the Marco Polo sleeps four thanks to the rear bench that electrically folds flat into a bed and the second berth under the pop-top. The flexible interior is decked out like you'd expect a modern Mercedes to be, with ambient LED lighting as well as wood, metal and piano black trim.
It's got an onboard kitchenette with two gas burners, a sink and fridge with a 10 gallons of fresh water and an even bigger waste tank. All that gear is shlepped around by a choice of four-cylinder turbodiesel engines ranging in output from 136 to 190 horsepower. The relatively compact form boasts a turning circle similar to a full-size sedan and a height designed to fit into most garages and car washes. All of which just might make us reconsider the appeal of traveling by camper van.
