Up for sale is a timeless classic diesel station wagon! My brother bought this car at the end of the summer from an estate auction in Texas via Ebay as a surprise for his wife . The vehicle was driven back here to Denver from Texas without a hitch. His wife loved the looks of the car and the idea of owning one, but going from a late-model Volvo V70R to a 30 year old diesel wagon is a drastic change to say the least. My brother had to move to Oregon for work and he left the old Mercedes behind asking me to sell it for him. I am listing this thing at NO RESERVE so the high bidder will own this bullet-proof wagon!
When the weather was warm the Mercedes would start up after a few cranks without a hitch. Now that it has sat for awhile and the weather is cold, it cranks for a longer time and needs a jump most of the time as well. It does ALWAYS start eventually. The turbo spools up well and it has good acceleration for an old turbo diesel Benz. It also just passed Colorado emissions recently as well. Like any old German car, the motor is wet with oil seepages. The transmission shifts through all gears including reverse as it seemingly should. The brakes work strongly on the first application after driving for a time, but if you brake again after that the power function seems weak. The e-brake does not hold at all. The tires are old and could use replacement/balancing. I also heard an occasional squeak from the right front while driving. It may need a strut? I am not sure.
The odometer was not rolling any miles when I drove the car today so just assume it does not work. The person in Texas who sold it claimed that the AC worked, but it has been too cold for me to verify that and my brother didn't know. The climate control with the fan etc. does work as far as I can tell. The drivers side front window goes up and down fine, but the passenger front window only goes down 1/3 of the way and stops. The two rear windows work intermittently. The faceplate for the aftermarket CD player is missing. The horn on the steering wheel does not work thus the reason for the black horn button seen on the left drivers kick panel in the photos which does work.
The exterior paint is weathered from the Texas sun. It has a couple of surface rust spots as seen in the photos as well as a dent on the right front fender. One of the rear back up lenses is broken. Please see the pictures for exterior condition. The windshield does have a small star on the far passenger side halfway up. As far as the interior, the dash has a molded cover on it so I am not sure about the condition of it. There are cracks in the drivers seat as seen in the photos. The front door panel map pockets have loose clips on the front portion. The passenger front and rear seats are in good shape as well as the carpets/floor mats. It also has two keys and owners manuals.
I have a clear title in my possession so I am not sure why it is showing salvage on autocheck? It does not show any accidents on autocheck so I am not sure how the title could be salvage. I just want to be up front that I do have a clear title in hand, but let you know that the autocheck record does say salvage.
I have described this vehicle to the best of my ability and knowledge. It is being sold as is with no warranty or guarantee of any kind expressed or implied. Feel free to contact me to see the car in person or set up an inspection from a third party. I will assist in any way possible. This vehicle is not for someone who is not OK with quirks of old German cars. You can come pick up the vehicle in person, or set up shipping. All pick up/transportation arrangements must be made by the buyer. I will get the vehicle started for the buy or transporter when it is being picked up. If you need me to pick you up from Denver International Airport, I am more than happy to do so. A non-refundable $250 deposit is due with 48 hours of the auction end. Do not bid unless you intend to buy. The full balance is due, and vehicle must be picked up within 7 days of the auction end. The high bidder will own this vehicle. I have a clear signed off title in my hand ready to go. Feel free to contact me with any questions and I will answer them to the best of my ability.Thanks for looking!

Daimler buying 12% stake in Beijing Auto
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Daimler and Beijing Automotive are officially going steady, with the German company set to take a 12-percent stake in the Chinese brand tomorrow. The two are already tied up in a Mercedes engine plant in Beijing, of which BAIC will increase its stake in, from 50 to 51 percent. Daimler will also get two seats on the Chinese company's board. BAIC may also gain the ability to produce cars on Mercedes-Benz platforms, according to Automotive News Europe.
The investment in BAIC comes ahead of that company's initial public offering, according to a report form Bloomberg, which indicates the deal will be inked tomorrow in the Chinese capital. According to the report, if the circumstances are right, BAIC may turn around and invest in the Germany company "soon."
It's not entirely clear just how much the 12-percent cut is costing Daimler, although it seems reasonable to assume that, as it's ahead of the IPO, the parent company of Mercedes is getting a bit of a bargain.
Mercedes-Benz releases stunning first images of 2014 S-Class
Mon, 18 Mar 2013
The all-new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, designated W222, is one of the most highly anticipated debuts of its model year. Every generation of the flagship sedan has broken new ground in technology and innovation for the entire industry, and the German automaker appears determined to raise the bar much further with its latest arrival as it promises to deliver "the best automobile in the world." Mercedes-Benz has just released nearly two dozen interior images of the new sedan, showing off style in design, craftsmanship in execution and pioneering advancements in technology.
Unlike all previous generations - the first S-Class officially arrived in 1972 - the 2014 model completely discards a traditional instrument cluster and replaces it with two high-resolution color displays in 8:3 format with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches (the outgoing model's gauges were a mix of digital and analog). The left unit displays traditional analog gauges (digitally, of course) while the right unit is reserved for infotainment and comfort settings with the automaker's all-new mBrace2 - a cloud-based entertainment and information delivery system that is rolling out this year.
Mercedes to roll out C63 AMG late in 2014 with 4.0L V8
Mon, 30 Dec 2013The new 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is upon us, launching initially in North America with turbocharged four-cylinder C300 4Matic and six-cylinder C400 4Matic flavors. But that's only the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to the vast array of powertrain configurations that will be offered in the new C-Class in markets around the world. Orders will soon be rolling in for gasoline, hybrid and diesel engines with four, six or eight cylinders, driving the rear wheels or all four, with the seven-speed automatic transmission soon to be replaced by a new nine-speed unit. But what enthusiasts are really looking forward to is the next C63 AMG.
As BMW has done with the M3 (and new M4), Mercedes has gradually ratcheted up the cylinder count in its AMG C-Class, graduating from the 3.6-liter V6 in the original C36 AMG to the 4.3-liter V8 in the C43 AMG, then the 5.5-liter V8 in the C55 AMG before going the distance with the sublime 6.2-liter V8 in the C63 AMG. Like its rivals, Mercedes is expected to use turbochargers as a replacement for displacement in the next model, but unlike its Bavarian rival, it won't be losing any cylinders in the process.
Skipping the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 that has gone on to power other AMG models, the next C63 AMG is still expected to introduce a new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing between 450 and 500 horsepower. It'll also reportedly keep the same seven-speed automatic transmission (instead of switching to the new nine-speed), but the jury's still out on whether it'll come with rear- or all-wheel drive (or offer buyers the choice). The downsized V8 - codenamed M177 - is then expected to find its way into other models, but the C-Class will be the first to get it when it arrives before the end of the new year ahead.
