1990 Mercedes Benz 300se Flagship 4dr Sedan on 2040-cars
Centerville, Indiana, United States
|
continued from above......the car was always garaged and to add to that, the previous owner always covered the entire dash and seats with white cotton towels to prevent any type of damage or dryout caused by sunlight! We drove through Northern Cali, to the Redwoods and the Pacific Ocean Hwy because we knew we might not have such an opportunity again, then a total of 2900 effortless miles back home, without a flaw of any sort..The car was purchased new in Denver by an elderly gentleman that loved Benz's. He traded in 88 300SE in for this car, and gave $26300 difference(sticker 54322.) He then let his daughter drive it back and forth to college. At graduation, she sold the car to the gentleman that I purchased it from and it came with a ton of service records that showed all the servicing was performed by the Benz dealer. My daughter took it to Jacksonville Fl with her when she was transferred there with the US NAVY, and drove it back and forth from Florida three or four times, with no issues! Bottom line is this is one hell of a car, even still today! The ONLY reason Im selling this car, is the fact I had to take another job that doesn't pay very well, and I have 7 vehicles that the tag/insurance renewals are due in Feb and I cant drive them all, or afford to keep them all! This is BY FAR the best of the litter. I would go anywhere, anytime in this Flagship of its time. The only thing Ive done to this car, is perform regular maintenance , put a new set of tires on it, about 15000 miles ago, and a battery. It does have a small trans fluid drip that appears after its been sitting, minor issue for a car of this age and mileage. Usual rules apply, bid to buy not to jerk around. $250 deposit is required within 48 hours, via paypal, and only $250 please due to their charges! Balance due at pickup in Indiana, in cash only!. You will need to do nothing to drive this car home, wherever home is. If you need it shipped, its up to to make your own arrangements with the carrier of your choice, and must show the transport fees paid in full, prior to letting the car leave my property. Also, I will mandate from the carrier, a checklist of the cars condition at departure and the buyer can compare to it on delivery so that any damage etc, is the responsibility of the shipper. You are welcome, at your expense of course, to have an independent survey of the vehicle buy a local mechanic at MY location, in fact we have 3 very qualified German car mechanics here locally. All questions and inspections need to be completed prior to 24 hours of auction end. Pickup arrangements must be made within 72 hours after auction end. Questions? Call Ray @ 765-580-0789 as Im sure I probably forgot something or a detail of somekind! Thanks in advance, and Good Luck!!

France formally moves to ban Mercedes vehicles using contested refrigerant
Wed, 31 Jul 2013That didn't take long. Shortly after a French administrative court gave the French government a ten-day window to reconsider its ban on registrations of Mercedes-Benz A-, B- and CLA-Class cars using the prohibited R134a refrigerant, the government cited an EU directive to formalize banning the sale of the cars. The country's environmental ministry said that registrations "will remain forbidden in France as long as the company does not to conform to European regulations," meaning so long as they do not use the approved R1234yf refrigerant.
Daimler had won the administrative court decision by challenging France's application of a "safeguard" provision in which the EU allows a country to block sales of cars that would "seriously harm the environment." In spite of Daimler's victory, France has cited that very provision as basis for the continuation of the ban.
Daimler got permission from Germany's KBA federal motor authority to keep selling cars with the coolant banned by EU politicians, and is using that national permission as the right to sell the cars throughout Europe. Meanwhile, above that battle, German politicians are asking the EU to let Mercedes sell the cars in France while the KBA does more testing, at the same time as the EU is threatening Germany with repercussions if it doesn't bring the KBA and Daimler into line.
Volvo S60 Polestar concept plays in the snow with Mercedes C63 AMG
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Chris Harris took to a snowy stretch of tarmac to get a fingertips-on-the-wheel feel of the Volvo S60 Polestar concept. Harris says the turbocharged sedan with 508 horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque - and a manual transmission - is "a study to see if Volvo can get back into the fast-car market." The Polestar S60 concept, one of which was already purchased for $300,000 by a private buyer, is still making the publicity rounds because even Volvo's Chinese owners realize that, as Harris says, "Volvo sold more cars because it made fast cars" like the old 850 T5 Wagon that stormed the British Touring Car Championship in the 1990s.
For reference, Harris compares the blue wonder to the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and its 487 hp and 442 lb-ft. The question is, were Volvo to get the price of a production version of the S60 Polestar to climb way down from its 200,000-pound sticker, could it be worthy competition to the established giants?
You can watch Harris divine the answer via a lot of drifting through the snow and a drag race in the video below.
YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013After 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.
