Mercedes-Benz Enthusiasts, This one is for you!

This is the one you have been waiting for!
 

Well, here it is.  Here is the one you have been waiting, and hoping for!  You knew somewhere, someplace there was a E300D Diesel sitting in someone's garage that is still in impeccable condition and still being maintained to the high standard that Mercedes-Benz set for this car in 1997. Of course as the days, weeks, months and possibly years go by and your search turns up absolutely nothing.  You begin to wonder if any such car exists, or have all the old classic Mercedes-Benz Diesels been driven and worn out?  The answer is no, not all of them.  We managed to locate a survivor. An unmolested, non-smoker, wonderfully maintained, bona-fied example of a 1997 Mercedes-Benz E300D Diesel.
 

This Mercedes-Benz E300D has proven itself an instant classic, and you'll enjoy pulling up and making an impression with this car.  I personally have never seen a car with a personality that even comes close to this car's. Every time I have parked this car I have found myself doing one thing over and over again.  Once I've walked about 20 or 30 feet I'll turn around and take a second look at the car and marvel at how beautiful it is.  Then I remember that the car is mine!  It's a great feeling to have over and over again, and with this car you can have that!  This car proclaims status and class anywhere it is driven.   This car has a timeless body style which will always have the place in many people's heart no matter where automotive design decides to go in the future.
 

Here is a very rare chance go get a highly desired and very hard to find example of one of the best cars Mercedes-Benz ever made! Up for auction is a 1997 Mercedes-Benz E300D Diesel!  This 3.0 liter Inline-6 cylinder diesel engine is regarded by most Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts as the best diesel engine ever placed in a Mercedes!  You'll really fall in love with this 3.0 liter diesel engine!   The mileage on the ad was not a misprint.  This car really has 64,922 actual miles on it.  We have checked around and under the car and have found absolutely no rust!  Not to mention this car is a diesel!  Now if that wasn't an accomplishment in itself, this car still runs like new!  I kid you not.  The car's owner had a great standard in caring for the car which has kept it running and looking very nicely!  This car still handles like new.  The car is incredibly great.  The owner of this car treated this car with the level of care that I have never seen before.  This car is at its infancy.  Mercedes-Benz diesels have earned a reputation for being some of the most reliable engines ever produced.  They're EXPECTED to go 500,000 miles without any major work meaning if you make an effort to keep the car well maintained they can last even longer!   You've probably noticed that when you look at the older Mercedes-Benz models you seldomly see the gas engine cars still on the road from the 70s and 80s.  For the most part, they're diesels!  That should tell you something.  Of course the car's condition agrees with that as it's far too nice to have been passed around between owners.  The car has never, ever been smoked in!
 

The car has what most people consider to be the best color combination ever offered on one of these cars, Black on the outside with Gray leather on the inside. The color combination is incredible, and really makes this car look elegant!  The exterior finish on this garage-kept car is in very good shape and shines well.  The paint and body look fantastic with very few flaws to be found, even under close inspection.   The car's body is straight.  The car appears to have never been in an accident.  The body lines are straight and true.  You'll really be impressed with it!  You'll really be impressed by how nice everything looks on the outside and especially the inside.  It's like stepping back into time.  This really is the opportunity of a lifetime!
 

What will really impress you is the condition of the car's interior.  You'll be amazed by how nice it is!  It really is impeccable inside!  The seats are still in fantastic condition.  Just look at the pictures!  The front and rear seats look like they've hardly been used!  The car's interior is everything you'd expect for such a low mileage, well preserved car!  I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.  You'll be absolutely impressed by the car's interior condition.  You have plenty of room in the back for the entire family.  The trunk has plenty of room for whatever you'd like to place back there with a full sized spare in the back.  All the car's features are standard.  It came with everything!  The power windows, and power mirror works just fine.  The vacuum operated power door locks also work great!  You won't be using the power windows much thanks to the car's cold a/c!  The heat is also working great!   The upgraded Kenwood in dash CD stereo system works great and provides great sound. There are no blown speakers!  Of course the car's never ever been smoked in!  The instrument cluster works just as it should. You'll really be impressed with the inside of this car!
 

If the looks of the car didn't already impress you, then getting behind the wheel and driving the car will take your breath away!  This is where you really see how well this car has really been kept!  After driving this car it seems silly to spend big money on a newer one when you can get a quality pre-owned Mercedes that has plenty of character and a highly desired, much more reliable diesel engine for so much less!  The glow plugs heat right up, and the diesel fires right to life with a smooth and friendly clatter. The engine accessories turn quietly and work well, with the AC compressor keeping the inside very cool and the alternator keeping the battery well charged. The undercarriage of the car is very clean. Under the hood is very clean.  The steering is tight, smooth and easy.  The suspension feels to be in good shape.  Keeping you snug on the road is a very good set of tires!  They are matched to the original Mercedes-Benz alloy wheels!  You won't have to worry about tires for quite some time with this car!  The car provides more comfort than most modern new cars could ever hope to provide!  It handles very well.  You can tell that this car was maintained to the highest standard and has received only the best care and the most careful driving since it was new.  The car simply would not run and handle this well!  The 3.0 Liter 6-Cylinder Diesel engine, while very comfortable and smooth has the ability to get up and go whenever you need it to!  You'll be very pleased to know that even while getting incredible gas mileage the car can get up and go when it needs to!  The automatic transmission still shifts just as it should.  When you need to get this car stopped, the brakes will do it just as they are supposed to do, stopping the car evenly and effectively.
 

If you are looking for a safe, strong and very clean Mercedes diesel sedan with most of the life left in it, this would be an excellent choice. Diesels get excellent fuel economy while delivering smooth power and legendary engine life. This one feels solid, quiet and tight at highway speeds as a Mercedes should, and is a joy to drive around town. If kept on a proper schedule of regular maintenance, this car will deliver another 300,000 miles or more without requiring anything more than routine service.
 

This may be your only chance to acquire a high quality E300D Diesel in this nice of shape!  Don't miss this chance to own your dream car!  Yes, true you may end up paying a little more for this car, but if you think about it you are really getting a true bargain.  This is a very rare and hard to find car that features one of the most reliable engines ever produced!  You never have to worry about a shortage of buyers whenever you decide to part with this car!  This is a great investment that will still prove good even years from now!  Any Mercedes-Benz enthusiast will tell you that this is the car to have!  This may be your last chance to get a car like this in this kind of condition.  There just aren't any of these left that are this good!  Buy it now! Don't let another bidder with a couple of quick clicks of the mouse take your dream car away from you!  Don't settle for second best.  Get the car of your dreams!  Don't miss your opportunity to own this beautiful car!  You will not be disappointed!

Mercedes teams with Pebble for smartwatch tech

Tue, 24 Dec 2013

Most automakers have realized by now that a good infotainment system is a must-have feature for many buyers, and have, as a result, invested increasing amounts of time and money developing these technologies. But some automakers are going above and beyond in-car entertainment and navigation technology by focusing on wearable technology as well.
Nissan has emerged as one such company, developing its own alternative to Google Glass and performance-oriented smartwatch. But Mercedes-Benz is also putting itself at the forefront of wearable tech - not by developing competing products to those designed by dedicated tech companies, but by working with them. The German automaker, as we recently reported, is developing its own app for Google Glass, and is now doing the same with smartwatches as well.
Set to be unveiled at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Mercedes has collaborated with Pebble Technologies to develop the Digital DriveStyle app. The system will display tell its wearer where the car is, whether the doors are locked and if it needs fuel. Inside the car it'll alert the driver to potential hazards coming up on the road, while making functions like re-routing the nav system, controlling the audio system or activating Siri that much easier.

Zetsche's CEO tenure extended through 2016 at Daimler

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

There 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.
