Read through carefully!
More pics here http://s1060.photobucket.com/user/jemi88/library/1990%20Mercedes-Benz%20420SEL Price is FIRM. No need to make offers. Cash only. OK condition. This car runs and stops, turns left, turns right, backs up. That's pretty much it. And it's really safe. It won't stall or anything, runs strong and AC is cold. Still putting on miles! But only about 100 miles a week, short trips to the store, doctor, library and so on, it's my wife's car and she stays home with the baby. The current set of Michelins have only 15K miles on them (have invoice). Those cost $600. The tires, plus $1,900 of work I put into it right after I bought it 2.5 years ago (have invoice). I won't recover any of it that's why the price is firm. I replaced the faded purpled tinting, the new tinting is nice. Did all the regular oil change. Have most of my service records and some previous owner's. Issues (read carefully!): Front rotors need to go. I would have replaced them except I can't get one of the lug nuts off... the previous guy probably cross threaded the lug nut. If you don't know how to fix this then you shouldn't buy this car because it needs rotors, this is a serious safety issue, it's a big reason I'm getting rid of this car otherwise I'd keep it. Priced accordingly. Engine idles a little rough at times, not earthquake rough, just a little rougher than a Mercedes should idle, most of the time it purrs... I don't know, maybe distributor or wiring or gasket? Like I said it doesn't stall, no, it runs very strong and gets good mileage. Burns oil though like all old cars do. Previous owner repainted it, was it in an accident? Autocheck.com shows clean history. The title is clean and clear! Run your own Carfax and see. I had been very happy with the car... until I needed to do the rotors and couldn't unscrew the lug nut. Some dents and dings on body, a few rust spots on front window frame Peeling paint from bumpers Driver's door release latch loose (see pics in link) but works so well I never even think about it. Many miscellaneous like cracked plastic, broken leather on pillars around front seatbelt hangers, bumps, bruises... NOT A SHOWROOM CAR! Not even close. It's perfect for your wife if you like her a little but not that much. I got a newer Mercedes so I don't need this one. Good luck with it if you buy it. Car is in 92649. If local buyer we'll arrange a public meeting ground for the show and test drive, if you even want to drive it after looking at it that is. If you're really going to buy it then we'll conduct the transaction at a AAA office. If not local then buyer responsible for all transport arrangement and costs. I don't know a thing about shipping a car and am not going out of my way to do it. VIN WDBCA35E2LA552841 |

Mercedes mulling Renault-based entry-level X-Class?
Sun, 17 Mar 2013Somewhere in between the Smart brand and the all-new A-Class (pictured above), Daimler is said to be readying a smaller entry-level product for the Mercedes-Benz brand to compete with models like the Audi A1. According to AutoBild, Mercedes-Benz will get a new hatchback based on a platform from its recent partnership with Renault-Nissan, and it could be called the X-Class.
Expected to debut by 2018, the Mercedes-Benz X-Class could be offered in sedan, hatchback and crossover variants, and it would likely have a starting price below the $20,000-euro mark. Power would come from either a 1.0-liter inline three-cylinder engine or a 1.5-liter inline-four, and the car would likely be built in a low-cost nation in order to make the financials work. Wearing the Mercedes-Benz name, the X-Class would have to exhibit more distinguishable luxury and styling to set itself apart from the models that helped provide its underpinnings.
Maybach and Aston Martin alliance talks fall apart
Tue, 27 Sep 2011If you have, like us, been salivating at the notion of a new generation of Maybach and Lagonda ultra-luxury crafts built by Aston Martin, we've got some bad news: According to reports emanating from Germany, talks between AML and Daimler have broken down.
The proposal under negotiation would have seen Daimler outsourcing production of the next family of Maybach models to Aston Martin, which in return would benefit from Mercedes-Benz platforms and engines - not only for its svelte GTs, but also for its own future Lagonda line of limousines and luxury SUVs. That, and a boatload of money - or at least that's what AML was reportedly seeking, an issue that served as the stumbling block over which the deal reportedly collapsed.
That's not to say the two parties couldn't still reach some sort of a compromise, but short of that, Daimler may opt to either shut down Maybach altogether, find another partner, or take another stab at building new models internally.
Highlights from the Goodwood Festival of Speed, including the McLaren P1 and a Ford Transit running the hill
Mon, 15 Jul 2013The sole purpose of this post is as a time-waster, and since you shouldn't have to work to waste time, we've done it for you. In the numerous videos below you'll find cars that have lately been in the news tramping all over the grounds of Lord March's estate in Goodwood, England.
There's the McLaren P1 heading up the hill, the Jaguar Project 7, then a casually-driven Porsche 917 followed by an even-more-casually-driven Porsche 956, topped off by a Porsche 936 that is anything but casually driven. The next round is the flame-spitting Peugeot 405 T16 Pikes Peak from Climb Dance, a camera mounted on the Peugeot RCZ R after it showing you what the whole, uninterrupted run up the hill looks like. For a real head-turner, we couldn't embed it but there's Andy Reid blasting up the hill in a Ford Transit Supervan with a Cosworth 3000 V6 engine.
The modern racing contingent has Allan McNish doing the hill in the Audi R18 e-tron quattro he used to win Le Mans and Lewis Hamilton making lots of tire smoke in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas MGP-W02. For comparison, that's followed by Nick Heidfeld's record-setting run up the hill in 1999 in the McLaren MP4/14 . The classic racing contingent is headlined by 71-year-old Giacomo Agostini on an MV Agusta.
