I just do not have time to work on this wonderful Euro, and need to make room in the garage.
Was imported into California and has its CARB "california air resource board" sticker in the drivers door jam. Car has current AZ reg but has been registered in California up until May 2013.
Car comes with a real and complete AMG body kit.
real AMG floor mats.
Has 16x8 Pre Merger AMG Areo I wheels with 225/55/16 new tires, less the 50 miles on them.
Has Euro log exhaust manifolds with dual exhaust and a new Magaflow Catalyic converter installed.
Here are some more items that have been done to it since March 2013.
1. replaced passenger side cam, towers and followers.
2. installed all new injectors and rubber injector seals,
3. installed new rubber connectors to Throttle body,
4, installed new Throttle Body gasket.
5. installed new rubber between YB and Fuel Distributor, the plenum.
6. new dist cap, rotor, plugs, and wires.
7. installed rebuilt Programma Idle Control Module.
8. Installed Rebuilt Programma idle control box (on fender well.)
9. rebuilt Fuel Distributor.
10. new valve cover gaskets.
12. Used transmission installed, but needs to have linkage and module adjusted.
Trans has the noise in reverse and short shifts between 2nd and 3rd. Transmission guy said that the tranny needed the linkage adjusted and that the noise in reverse was the parking pall not adjusted properly.
Never had a problem with the tranny, just that noise. Tranny came from an SEC and had been rebuilt by MB sometime in the past, hence tyou will find a 310 series number that was only on cars in the nordic countries or MB rebuild numbers.
14. installed new O2 sensor,
15. installed Timing chain tensioner
16 replaced oil pan Gasket and drain plug.
17 replaced tranny pan gasket, filter and drain plug.
18. installed new shift rod bushing.
19.installed new thermostat.
20 installed new water pump.
21. installed radiator.
22. installed new battery.
23. installed new kick down solenoid o-ring.
Sun roof works but needs to be greased, it worked for me a couple times and I had to shut it a couple times with the ratchet in the rear. The inside fiber board in the covering has warped and it helped the couple times I used it to push up in the middle of the roof. I don't use a sun roof so I closed it and put that job on the back burner to do later.
A/C works and hold preassure but needs some charge it is still R-12
car can be used as a daily driver.

Mercedes to market Tesla-powered 2014 B-Class EV in U.S.
Thu, 05 Jul 2012Looks like another Tesla Motors investor will be looking to cash in on their connection. Autoweek reports Mercedes-Benz will offer their B-Class in the U.S. with Tesla propulsion.
The magazine says their source at the German automaker confirms plans for a B-Class electric-only vehicle. While Tesla already provides battery packs for the battery-powered Smart ForTwo, the B-Class EV will reportedly have Tesla batteries, motor and other components. U.S. residents should be able to procure one sometime in 2014.
The same Mercedes source says plans for a hybrid B-Class have been postponed for now. Adding a range-extending, gasoline-powered engine to an electric vehicle would put the car into a different class for which rebates and incentives aren't as favorable in the States.
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.
Consumer Reports selling its road-tested roadsters [w/video]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Here's a chance to acquire a celebrity-owned vehicles, and this time at a discount instead of a premium. So the celebrity in this case is Consumer Reports, that magazine that could be equally adored and abhored by car enthusiasts. CR buys all of its test vehicles and usually finds willing second owners within its own ranks, but its opening its small used-car lot to the public. On the forecourt are four roadsters: an automatic 2012 Audi TT 2.0 TFSI Quattro S-Tronic with 6,600 miles for $36,500, a manual 2012 BMW Z4 sDrive28i with 8,400 miles for $45,000, a manual 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK250 for $39,500 and a manual 2013 Porsche Boxster with 7,000 miles for $48,000.
Those numbers mean a savings of $9,000 to $10,000 before haggling - each car is listed with an "Asking price" so there could be some wiggle room if you show up with pockets full of dough and eyes full of serious intent. Since the money CR earns from the sales go back into the magazine's budget to buy more test cars, however, it probably won't take any oddball trades, so you can forget about getting any purchasing help from that track-day AMC Javelin project on blocks in the back yard.
The vehicles have been taken care of and spiffed up for sale; buyers will take delivery at the CR test track in East Haddam, Connecticut and get a tour of the facilities. While you're there they'll even take you on a lap around the track so you can feel how your car handles when driven by one of its testers. They will probably not help you with advice on which toaster and dehumidifier to buy - you'll still need to get a subscription for that. Have a look at the video below to see a day in the life of a CR test car.
