This beautiful old car came to our family 4 years ago, with 96,000 miles from the second owner of the car, an elderly gentleman who told me he had owned it for nearly 20 years, but was selling it to purchase a Jaguar. He owns a diesel engine repair facility, so I know it was well cared for by him. He did, however, lightly scrape drivers side from drivers door back to end of car one evening going in his gated drive. I bought the car to put my daughter in so she would have something reliable that was built like a tank. In the years that I have owned it we replaced both rear axles when one of them began to hum, I put new glow plugs and rebuilt injectors in at about 105k miles, replaced belts and hoses as needed, changed oil and filter regularly (ROTELLA Diesel Oil), replaced both front shocks, and performed any other maintenance as needed. The rear accumulators need to be replaced, and I have them ordered and should receive them and get them on before the car is sold. Please note that the picture of the instrument cluster, and of the engine, were taken with car running in park with air conditioner on. I believe that show about 700 rpm and the oil pressure is pegged.
Inside the vehicle the wood trim is pretty good, with some varnish peeling. The floor mats are in excellent shape, the seats do not need recovering, the carpeting in rear is fading to a pinkish tint, the two rear pillars trim is gone, and some of the door trim is wrinkled from the Texas heat. All door and window rubber is serviceable. Windows have been tinted, and tint is good. Air conditioner is still the R 12 system and cools well. Heater is good, all windows roll up and down as they should. Original tool kit and first aid kit are in place, as well as many of the original books and records. I am probably missing something, but...
OK, I love these old diesels and this is the nicest and best one I have ever owned. With less than 125,000 miles she is a treasure for the right buyer. You all know these motors and what you can do with them. I am at that point in my life where I just want a newer car that I take to Wal-Mart for oil changes and to the dealer for anything else. I have driven nothing but Mercedes for 25 years now, and it is herd thinning time. I currently own 4 Mercedes wagons and 1 Mercedes sedan and as retirement is looming...well I want this to go to a home that will care for her until she has that million miles. As for my daughter, well we just bought a nice used S320 sedan for her.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class revealed again in 1:18 scale
Fri, 10 May 2013There is plenty to look forward to when it comes to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but it could end up being a fairly anticlimactic reveal thanks to fully exposed spy shots, a leaked press photo and now images of a diecast version of the luxury sedan. Autoweek.nl has images showing a highly detailed 1:18 scale model of the redesigned S-Class that matches up with everything we've seen so far.
This isn't the first time a model car spoiled a new vehicle's reveal, as the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and 2013 SRT Viper were both unceremoniously revealed in toy form first. World Car Fans is reporting that the car 2014 S-Class will be officially unveiled on May 15, but at this point, all that's left to wonder about is the official on-sale date and what will be under the hood.
Europe getting special Mercedes-Benz CLA Edition 1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Last week when we saw the leaked ordering guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, one particular image caught our eye showing the interior of the new sedan with a neon yellow stripe on the seats and yellow stitching throughout the cabin. As it turns out, this will be part of a limited-edition model called the Edition 1 about which Mercedes-Benz just released some information.
Usually, automakers wait until later in a vehicle's life to introduce special models like this, but the Edition 1 will be available right out of the gate for the first 12 months the CLA-Class is on sale. The 2014 CLA-Class Edition 1 includes the more aggressive Sport package adding AMG-style fascias and wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights and a lowered suspension; it will be offered only in five colors - unfortunately, Northern Lights Purple is not one of them. In addition to the bright yellow cabin accents, the Edition 1 will get sport seats wrapped in leather and microfiber, a sporty, flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather and real aluminum trim on the instrument panel.
With no mention of the US, we're only left to imagine that this car will not be arriving on our shores, but customers in Europe will definitely be able to enjoy the mean styling and funky interior with prices ranging from 35,402 euros up to 43,940 euros.
Maybach officially discontinues all models for 2013
Tue, 14 Aug 2012The word "Maybach" has joined the long list of synonyms for the word "kaput." Mercedes-Benz released the price list for the 2013 models of its super-luxury sedans, with the price column simply stating "Discontinued" for each one of them.
The 2012 models, should there be any left for 11th-hour buyers, maintain the increased MSRPs that Daimler slapped on them late last year after it was known the brand would be terminated next year. But you might still be able to wrangle that $100,000 rebate if you ask nicely, or in Russian, or have Rick Ross ask for you.
It shouldn't be too long before we see the ultimate version of the next generation S-Class, the S600 Pullman, that will replace Maybach. Intriguingly, it's said the Pullman will be offered with every S-Class engine, even the four-cylinder diesel.
