The story:
Bought this car for my son last summer. He thoroughly enjoyed all the options this car has and has driven it basically back and forth to school. I purchased this off of Ebay from a church organization in Indianapolis. Everything works, even the AC. Power windows, locks, seats, interior is in pretty good shape, leather has some wear on the drivers seat, but passenger and back are nice. Sunroof, aftermarket Alpine stereo with amps in the trunk. Security system. Drove very nice and was dependable up until a few weeks back. I took this into the local mercedes dealership(Eurosport-Springfield) and they put a new mass air flow sensor and throttle body sensor, new spark plugs. It fixed the problem, which was that it was running too rich and then dying. This was $1000 check written, but it drove fine afterwards. They checked everything out thoroughly and said it was fine. Then last week it died at a stop sign and had to be towed back to my house. I have planned to have it looked at, but have lost my job in the meantime and do not have the funds to mess with it. It's turning over but just acts flooded. These cars, in fair shape right now KBB for $3100. It may be just a loose wire, it may need the fuel injectors cleaned, I don't know. But boy now wants a pickup truck. I have 3 other Mercedes in the family, all have been very good to me. They run forever. I just do not have the money to check this out. I know it's nothing huge, could be another sensor. There are no leaks, it does not overheat as I put a new water pump on it 6 months ago. There is no rust on this car whatsoever and the frame seems to be well intact. There are the usual swirls and some slight fading on the hood as for any car of this age. It will need to be towed as I just don't trust it. Could be an awesome buy for the right person. Call 217-622-6363. This is priced to sell, so please, no tire kickers.

X1, 3 Series power BMW back into global luxury autos sales lead
Thu, 14 Mar 2013BMW managed to eke ahead of Audi for the global luxury sales crown in February. According to Bloomberg, BMW saw deliveries swell by 7 percent in February, besting the 3.2 percent jump enjoyed by Audi and giving BMW a 407-unit delivery lead over its rival last month. Mercedes-Benz, meanwhile, continued to falter, with the brand selling some 37,229 fewer machines than BMW, whose factories are running at full capacity to keep up with demand. Models like the X1 (shown above) enjoyed a sales increase of 40 percent in February while the company's bread-and-butter 3 Series jumped by 26 percent.
Mercedes-Benz hopes to stem its continued market share loss with the addition of the entry-level CLA sedan to its portfolio in April. The company is set to roll out an updated version of its cash-cow E-Class at the same time, and a new-generation S-Class will follow along shortly thereafter. Meanwhile, the company is increasing production to meet demand for its A and B-Class models.
Why all of this year's F1 noses are so ugly [w/video]
Fri, 31 Jan 2014If you're a serious fan of Formula One, you already know all about The Great Nosecone Conundrum of 2014. Those given to parsing each year's F1 regulations predicted the strong possibility of the so-called "anteater" noses as far back as early December 2013. Highly suggestive visual evidence first came after Caterham's crash test in early January, with further proof coming as soon as Williams showed a rendering of the FW36 challenger for this year's championship. That car earned a name that wasn't nearly so kind as "anteater."
Casual followers of the sport - or anyone who gets the feed from this site - probably don't know what's happening, except to wonder why the current year's F1 cars are led by appendages that would make Cyrano de Bergerac feel a whole lot better about himself.
The short answer to the question of ugsome F1 noses is "FIA regulations and safety." The reason there are various kinds of ugsome noses is simpler: engineers. The same boffins who have given us advances including carbon fiber monocoques, six-wheeled cars, double diffusers and Drag Reduction Systems are bred to do everything in their power to exploit every possible freedom in the regulations to make the cars they're building go faster - the caveat being that those advances have to work within the overall philosophy of the whole car.
World Car Of The Year down to its final four
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.
