A terrific German driving automobile. 2nd owner driven 10,200 miles each year by me as Real Estate Agent, 248,255 miles. The E300D runs and drives great. Wonderful to drive, quiet and refined. Tires are 85%. Accelerates, revs and shifts quickly. Has always started all the way to -16 below...no need for engine heater except to have instant heat in cabin. Experience is 26-29 mpg city, 32-36mpg Hwy. Travels 650-750 miles per tank. W124, production 07/94, 3.0L inline 6-cylinder (naturally aspired) 4-speed automatic, Mercedes AM/FM Cassette player, Grey Mercedes Tex seats. 24 valve head rebuilt, milled, new valve seats, seals and glow plugs April 2013. Updated engine wire harness. Non-smoker, books and service records available, A/C always ice cold, Always garaged, Looks & drives great. Career change, purchased Buick in November to drive this winter, garaging E300D. I will miss this economical diesel automobile. Home to show and weekend only.

Following replacement of door vacuum actuator, doors remained locked however discovered after locking doors Saturday evening locks opened again this morning. Appears doors now remain locked for 5 minutes or so and unlock themselves. Passenger door actuator rubber seal may likely be culprit with rubber cracked, and needs replacing to remedy this. I will be out all week and will not be able to make time and replace passenger door vacuum actuator to remedy this. Weather was sunny, cold and dry today so I also was able to take clearer photos of dent on fender and rear trunk threshold where paint is cracked, however Ebay will not allow photo or Item description changes or corrections after bidding has started. I was on phone nearly an hour today with Ebay support to be able to determine why. Upon request I can e-mail updated photos to you. Thank you, Tom On Mar-23-14 at 19:58:23 PDT, seller added the following information: This is obviously not a "Special Edition". However Ebay does not allow for corrections in Auction errors. |

Zetsche's CEO tenure extended through 2016 at Daimler
Sun, 24 Feb 2013There appear to be two takes on Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche having his contract extended for three more years, to 2016. A report in The Detroit News quotes the chairman of Daimler's supervisory board, Manfred Bischoff, talking up the stability at the top, "With today's extensions of the contracts of Dieter Zetsche and Thomas Weber, we are maintaining the important continuity at the top executive level." Bischoff also stated that that Zetsche has a plan to "further enhance Daimler's overall performance."
Over at Reuters, though, the three-year extension was seen as a lack of complete confidence in Zetsche's plans, since his contract was supposedly meant to be extended by five years. A spokesman said the board decided to extend executive contracts by only three years if the person was 60 or would turn 60 during the contract, but that was news to observers. Zetsche wants to make Mercedes-Benz the top selling luxury manufacturer globally by 2020, but has fallen to third place behind Audi and BMW. It hasn't held the top spot 2005, and investors judged it valued at half that of BMW at the end of 2012 once Daimler's truck business was subtracted.
Analysts cites the fact that Daimler stock hasn't bested its rivals but twice in twelve years, and that the company revised its profit target downward last year by nearly one billion euros, warning of stagnant earnings this year and will miss its original margin target for 2013.
2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Edition 507 still lights our fire
Wed, 06 Mar 2013The current Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG may be in the autumn of its years, but it's still one of our very favorite sport sedans. Ever. Yes, its paddle-shift transmission may not always follow orders, but with stupendous levels of thrust from its charismatic naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8, ebullient rear-wheel-drive dynamics and that noise, we frankly don't care that it's getting on a bit.
As a sendoff of sorts for the current generation, Mercedes-Benz has just introduced a new Edition 507 model at the Geneva Motor Show, with 507 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque - an increase of 56 horses over the standard car. Mercedes credits the substitution of low-mass internals from the SLS AMG gullwing for the power bump, a tactic shared with the AMG Development Package upgrade that has been subsumed by this Edition 507. 0-60 is quoted at 4.1 seconds and top speed at 174 mph.
The Edition 507 borrows its aluminum hood from the C63 AMG Black Series Coupe, along with spidery new 19-inch wheels in either titanium gray finish or matte black with shiny rim flanges. As seen on our gallery car above, a sports striping package is also featured, as are glossy black grille, daytime running lamps, spoiler and mirror caps.
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.
