Original Paint with Absolutely NO Rust. No dings. Outstanding Interior no cracks on the dash. There is one minor flaw in the paint that you must carefully look for. There are several small very minor rock chips in the paint. This car was kept in a climate controlled garage till I bought it."

I am selling this Mercedes 300CD COUPE because I do not have garage space to store it inside.  It sits in my driveway covered.  It really needs to be in a garage to preserve its fine ORIGINAL qualities. I travel extensively and the car just sits in my driveway.  I live in the San Diego are so the weather is mild.  If I had garage space I would keep this car because it is very special.  

Special Qualities -  View the pictures.  The windshield has the original decals in the lower corners of the window.  These decals disappeared quickly on most cars due to sun fading and sun damage.  The interior door panels are NOT all wrinkled from the sun.  The instrument panel gauge pointers are NOT faded. The dash is not cracked.  Not a spec of rust.  The radio/stereo is a German Becker that came from a late model Porsche.  It is AM/FM with a CD player and has an IPOD plug that charges your Ipod.  I have the original radio that works just fine. There are 5 Chrome wheels and 5 matching tires. Bosche German European headlights included as shown in the photos and I have a set of standard lights that will go with it. The AC blows cold. All windows operate as designed.  The push button ventilation controller was replaced and the heater fan motor was replaced.  These features and in this condition is VERY VERY Rare.

Negatives - there is a flaw noted on the car fax.  I was told the rear window was replaced.  I had this car thoroughly inspected and there is no overspray and no signs of any body damage. The chrome on the wheels is starting to show its age.  the wheels look fine but if you inspect closely there is some flaws showing in the chrome.  The tires are showing some minor cracking.  The buzzer that worns you when you leave your lights on is not working.  I have another switch that I will include.  The engine is not leaking oil but there are signs of oil on the engine.  The rubber wipers on the door windows is showing some aging. The air blows intermittently from the 2 center vents. 

If you want additional information call John 619 261 3398.  I do not have any service records however if you inpsect this car it is evident that the miles are original.  It is 1 in a 1000 car.  I would rate this  car 9.5 on 10.  I have been followed and stopped many times by people wanting to view the car.  If you want a 300CD this one is worth checking out and spending a bit more to get one that is this nice.

SRT Viper dukes it out with Mercedes SLS Black Series in new Head 2 Head

Fri, 05 Jul 2013

In Episode 36 of Motor Trend's Head 2 Head, now that the Corvette ZR1 is no more, Jonny Lieberman has to look overseas to the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series for a challenger with similar philosophy to the SRT Viper: long hood hiding a high-horsepower engine set way back, rear-wheel drive, tiny trunks. That puts the Viper's 8.4-liter V10 with 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque against the SLS AMG's 6.2-liter V8 with 622 hp and 468 lb-ft.
However, the congruences in philosophy and magnitude of numbers doesn't translate to the driving experiences of the two, which are literally and figuratively on different continents. Lieberman gets a handle on the two of them on Northern California roads, Randy Probst then finds out how, and how quickly, they can lap Laguna Seca.
They both get kudos for being improvements on their original sources, but only one of them can take the win. You can find out by watching the video below.

2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA order guide leaked

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The dealer order guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA has made its way online courtesy of the crew at CLAForums.com, and not only does it shed light on the ways buyers will be able to configure the entry-level sedan, it talks specific option pricing. Shoppers will be able to select between the CLA250 and CLA250 4Matic, and the option sheet should offer a number of packages to suit buyer tastes, including a sport package with tweaked fascias and unique wheels. Bi-xenon headlamps and 18-inch alloys may also be had as well as a panoramic sunroof and a collision avoidance system. The CLA will be available with a number of active safety systems on board, including lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, park assist and blind spot assist, to name a few.
The new sedan comes in 10 colors, including a very dashing purple Mecedes-Benz calls Northern Lights Violet, and there are a total of four interior trim finishes. The automaker hasn't released final pricing of all models just as of yet - we do know from Mercedes' Kate Upton Super Bowl ad that the car will start at $29,900 - but you can check out individual option and package pricing in the gallery. You can also find more information over at CLAForums.com.

Mercedes calls CLA 'best launch in 20 years' as it warns dealers of tight supplies

Fri, 13 Dec 2013

It's still in the early going, but it's looking more and more like the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA is a verifiable home run for the German brand. According to a new report from Bloomberg, the new small car isn't just widening the sales gap between Mercedes and BMW, it's attracting a new, younger breed of customers into the brand's showrooms. But that early success is straining supplies of the turbocharged four-door.
Dealers have been warned that the first half of 2014 will see limited supplies for CLA, with a letter to dealers indicating that "tight inventories and low days supply" will exist from February through June, despite the car's Kecskemét, Hungary plant running at full tilt.
"This is our best launch in 20 years," said Steve Cannon, the US boss for Mercedes. "The CLA has been a phenomenal success right out of the gate." The numbers certainly support that. We reported in early October that Mercedes moved 2,300 CLAs in its first week on sale, and now Bloomberg is saying CLA sales were almost singlehandedly responsible for Benz's November sales gains. Mercedes' annual sales are up 14 percent through the November, and it's enjoying a healthy 7,600-car lead over BMW.
