We acquired this car in the summer of 2009 by accident. My wife and I were looking for a W124 Diesel to replace her 6 years old Toyota Corolla. I wanted to make sure she was safe, comfortable and at the same time, had a fuel efficient daily commute of 90 miles round trip. Most of it, about 80 miles were highway miles.

We came across this car after looking and looking and not finding what we wanted. We took a test drive and we were hooked. We bought the car at 103,516 miles in July of 2009.

The car is a great performer. Starts well, runs well, and handles amazingly well. It is also a beauty to the eye.

January 2012, my wife decided to get a new VW Jetta TDI. So, the car became my commuter car and I sold my 1995 W124 E300D.

For those who are not familiar with the E320, please see specifications below.

I was not planning to sell the car as you can see by the amount invested recently and the work done on the car in October 2013 and November 2013. However, I just received a 2013 Honda Accord 6SP Manual which is not bad at all. So, it is time to depart from what I have always driven: A Mercedes-Benz. At least for now until I find a great W124 diesel car again. I thought someone can enjoy this car instead having it sit in the garage for only a Sunday drive. This car is hungry for the road.

 The car has been faithfully maintained by a local independent Mercedes-Benz shop since we acquired it. All records are available upon request and a copy of all records will be given to the highest bidder.

 Here are a few minor things that do not work but I did not fix because these were not keeping the car from performing as expected on the road:

  1. Rear right power window regulator stops working on one hot summer day after sitting in the sun for awhile. The motor works, just the arm disintegrated. The window is securely shut, no noise.
  2. Rear left lock does not always unlock. On hot days, it will work. I rarely use that door so I did not see the need to fix it.

 For California residents, the car has a valid registration until June 2014.

 There is no warranty implied or expressed. The car is sold as is.

 Thank you for bidding.

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.

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.

2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Now Even Sharper Than The Razor's Edge
There have been five Black Series models since the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Black Series introduced itself to European audiences in 2006. Following that, the Black Series club has hosted appearances by the 2008 CLK63 AMG Black Series, the 2009 SL65 AMG Black Series and last year's 2013 C63 AMG Black Series. The sixth member of the group is one we would have thought already was a Black Series car in its standard guise. Right out of the box, the SLS AMG is loud, frenetic, cozy, boisterous and frightfully easy to oversteer. How much more Black did it need to get?
Quite a bit so, apparently. The SLS AMG Black Series has lost weight, gained power and been refitted with upgrades and aero bits from front to rear. If you liked the way it looked before, you'll probably be an even bigger fan of this one. If you thought it looked ungainly, well, this one should stay even further away from pageants. Regardless of where you come down this is the best SLS AMG variant we've driven.
