1985 Mercedes Benz 500 Sel on 2040-cars
York, Pennsylvania, United States
|
I have for sale my prized possession, my 1985 MB 500 SEL. It has 171,000 miles and still runs strong. One benefit is that it uses regular fuel and not premium. They began requiring premium fuel in the late 80's. I still run one tank of premium a month.
Alabaster white paint with a hand pained factory red stripe over lush burgundy leather. I have two front Mercedes sheepskin covers in grey that I will include. Beautiful burl wood trim. No wear on the wood, wood console box or wood shifter at all. No wear on the seats and absolutely NO rips or tears. Complete with mint condition factory mats and newly added clear weather tech mats for the elements. I have a dash cover as well for it. I updated the radio to a Pioneer head unit, kept the original four speaker units and added a sub woofer in the trunk. I am an organist so I like a little rumble. The new head unit is equipped with AM/FM, CD, AUX and Bluetooth. I converted the factory ash tray into a phone charger that any USB phone charger can be hooked up to. 4 new Kuhmo all season tires, 4 new calipers, breaks and rotors all around, and new shocks and new tie rods were installed less than 3,000 miles ago in preparation for this sale. The exhaust has been replaced from the front to the muffler (maybe 5,000 miles ago). Heated power adjusting seats in the front AND rear. Climate control unit blows hot in the winter and cold in the summer. All other switches work well. Power windows and sunroof function properly. Just did an oil change, coolant flush and power steering fluid flush two weeks ago. PA inspected until November 2014. I installed power remote locks in the car as well. Comes with two keys and two fobs. It would be wise to have the injectors replaced to fix a sometimes rough idle. I already have the injectors ($350 value) and they will go with the car. The only other thing that I can see that does not work is the dash clock... This car has been babied since new. I believe I am the second or third owner. It is the recipient of the Mercedes High Mileage Award and has the paperwork and grille badge to go with it. You will receive that information as well as my silly "PANZER" euro plate. My list of positive attributes could go on and on. I am selling because I am 22 and need funds for college and seminary. I love this car but need to part with it for financial reasons. Please make an offer. You must see it to believe it! Call or text @ 717 eight 7 zero - four 5 zero 5. Blessings + |

Fri, 22 Mar 2013In Which Mercedes' Sprinter Becomes A Long-Distance Sherpa
In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
As I am about to nod off on my long leg flight from Minneapolis to Anchorage ahead of driving to the Arctic Circle, the friendly twenty-something Alaskan knitting furiously in the seat next to me pauses and says, "When you're driving up there, don't open your windows." In the dead of winter? I hadn't planned on cruising alfresco, but her warning to keep the glazing snugged against the weatherstripping is one I would take to heart. She continues: "If you leave 'em open, a fox is liable to jump right in. There are lots of rabid foxes up there, and they leap into your car and just Go. To. Town." And here I was, thinking that a curious bear or maybe an ill-placed moose in the road was going to be my biggest potential four-legged threat. In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
Mercedes testing C-Class plug-in hybrid modes in Germany
Wed, 07 May 2014Testing appears to be underway for what would be the first Mercedes-Benz C-Class with a hybrid powertrain. We can see a pair of the prototypes undergoing testing in Germany, with one, a C-Class Wagon, still heavily clad in camouflage and featuring a more noticeable outlet on the passenger side of its rear bumper.
There's also a more production-looking sedan, which features a not-so-discreet flap over its rear-bumper outlet. It's difficult to speculate on power outputs for this fuel-sipping C-Class, although our spies seem to think that this car will feature some combination of a four-cylinder gas engine with an electric motor, although just which four is unclear (note, we wouldn't mind if MB fit its 2.0-liter turbo with some batteries and motors). Regardless, the four-pot/electric motor seems like a pretty reasonable combo, although it probably means that Mercedes won't be challenging the six-cylinder-powered system of the BMW ActiveHybrid3 any time soon.
When the plug-in C-Class arrives later this year as a 2015 model, it will likely offer a full range of driving modes, including both gas or electric, only, as well as a more traditional hybrid mode.
Daimler employees can set email to auto-delete during vacation
Mon, 18 Aug 2014The Internet has shrunk the world in terms of the way people communicate by making it possible to send an email from Oslo and have it show up in Cleveland almost immediately. But that instant contact has wrecked the work/life balance for many. They get home from a long day at the office, yet they can never fully put their feet up and relax because another hour or more of checking and replying to emails awaits. However, German automotive giant Daimler is putting an end to that churn, at least while its employees are on vacation.
About 100,000 Daimler employees in Germany are eligible to opt-in to a new program called Mail on Holiday, according to The Atlantic. When the workers go on vacation, they can switch it on, and the service auto-deletes all of their incoming email. "Our employees should relax on holiday and not read work-related emails," said Wilfried Porth, board member for human resources, to The Financial Times as cited by The Atlantic.
Mail on Holiday puts a thumb on the scale of work/life balance in favor of a little more free time. The system means that Daimler employees shouldn't even be tempted to check their email on vacation because there's nothing there - and it also avoids them coming back from a relaxing holiday only to find a mailbox packed full of hundreds of unread messages. These days, people are absolutely obsessed with their work, often to the detriment of their health, not to mention spending time with their families and friends. On one hand, Mail on Holiday sounds like the sort of vacation breakthrough we'd need to truly unplug and unwind, but on the other hand, it makes our skin crawl just thinking about the lack of communication.
