This stunning survivor is sadly/happily being offered for sale while I search for the perfect 350sdl with a rebuilt/factory replaced "rod bender" OM603.97 engine. Sadly, because this car reeks of power and period refinements like no other and I have spent considerable time and money bringing her up to standards that I find realistic for a car of her age. Happily, because she is now well poised for new ownership AND I am getting back to my MB Diesel roots. ALL of my MB's get NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES, GRILL AND LENSES to counteract the effects of road, wind and sunlight. While still in possession of the amber front signal lenses, I replaced them with clear lenses for a cleaner/updated face-lift. I ALSO have clear (pic enclosed) rear tail light lenses that I will enclose (upon request) should you choose to install them, but as somewhat of a purist, the front lenses seemed like enough. EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING in this car has been gone over and where repairs or replacement has been needed, they've been addressed. LET ME BE CLEAR: THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IS ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT but as with every MB that I own, I ALWAYS replace ANYTHING that doesn't age well. Here is a quick review (undoubtedly I'll miss a few). NEW: headlight assembly, wiper blades for the headlights, grille, proper Michelin 205/65r15 tires, repainted rims, Germany sourced new front armrest, window switches (replaced the white dots), rebuilt rear power seat, AND JUST WITHIN THE LAST TWO MONTHS; EHA, valve cover gasket, intake manifold gasket, timing chain checked and new guide rails installed, all 8 plugs, engine mounts, upper control arms, bushings, ALL engine vacuum lines, all struts, full R12 recharge of A/C and blows chilly (brr) AND muffler hangers for A COST OF $2582.78+! I misunderstood (language challenge)what I was being told when the rear struts were installed and unfortunately, gas struts JUST went in, while the self leveling was capped. This really should be done properly and my reserve reflects this. She has (4) door mounted cup-holders, rear footrests, front AND REAR power and heated seats, power everything and although eBay categorizes certain features as "option", everything on this flagship was standard, save for the cup-holders. I replaced the factory floor mats with new ones and replaced the rear lens beneath the door (for ingress/egress illumination) as the rear clip was broken. ALL instrument gauges and powered features function as designed. I have undoubtedly missed a few items, however pls feel free to ask me any questions and I will email you back. She is in Mount Dora, Florida and is being advertised locally so if anyone should drive her (self included), the mileage may be slightly different. I ALSO reserve the right to end this auction early should a buyer come along prior to auction end. IF..IF you have a pristine LOW MILEAGE 1991 350sdl that is interior and body perfect, I can work with an engine that needs attention in case you know of one or are considering a partial trade. The ONLY issue(s) that I am aware of it that there is some clear coat that needs addressing on the sunroof and a small area near the trunk corner.. There is NO RUST, dents or dings, rips in leather (although there is a SLIGHT wear on the lumbar area) or otherwise wear issues that are apparent or haven't been addressed. She's not a new car, blah, blah, blah and she is sold as is, blah, blah, blah and I reserve the right to, blah, blah, blah and ...You get the idea, HOWEVER, should your mechanic (or you) find something of serious concern, I will do what I can to address it. I am NOT INTERESTED in selling "Estelle" (her name) to unload a problematic car and she has been anything but problematic, so I have addressed everything that I would (and have) so that you shouldn't have to. My eBay score is 100% and I'd rather not veer off course! ***FOOTNOTE*** WHEELS were recently done and passenger side of dashboard was remounted correctly after work done and re-aligned! Pics do not reflect this. The pics reflect daily condition as I didn't have the appropriate time to detail her but I.M.O., she's better looking "dirty" than most do "excellent/cherry". Also, there are NO cracks in the dash or wood. Feel free to ask me any questions.

Mercedes-Benz releases stunning first images of 2014 S-Class
Mon, 18 Mar 2013
The all-new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, designated W222, is one of the most highly anticipated debuts of its model year. Every generation of the flagship sedan has broken new ground in technology and innovation for the entire industry, and the German automaker appears determined to raise the bar much further with its latest arrival as it promises to deliver "the best automobile in the world." Mercedes-Benz has just released nearly two dozen interior images of the new sedan, showing off style in design, craftsmanship in execution and pioneering advancements in technology.
Unlike all previous generations - the first S-Class officially arrived in 1972 - the 2014 model completely discards a traditional instrument cluster and replaces it with two high-resolution color displays in 8:3 format with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches (the outgoing model's gauges were a mix of digital and analog). The left unit displays traditional analog gauges (digitally, of course) while the right unit is reserved for infotainment and comfort settings with the automaker's all-new mBrace2 - a cloud-based entertainment and information delivery system that is rolling out this year.
Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept crossover leaked ahead of Shanghai debut
Wed, 17 Apr 2013With just a few days left before the start of the Shanghai Motor Show, images of the Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept compact crossover have emerged online. The little 'ute is based on the small A-Class hatchback, and though it shares an identical wheelbase, is larger in every other dimension.
Looking like a rough-and-tumble five-door hatchback on the tippy toes of its 20-inch wheels, the GLA is most certainly destined for production in a toned down form that will borrow many bits and pieces from other cars based on this platform like the aforementioned A-Class and the CLA-Class sedan. Carscoop reports that the production version of the GLA will be revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September of this year, with sales to the public starting in 2014.
Since it's based on the A-Class, we expect that the production GLA-Class will be powered by your choice of Mercedes' 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine and a diesel or two, and will offer transmissions that include the company's seven-speed DCT and perhaps a six-speed manual (at least in Europe). If the GLA follows the same path as the two cars before it, expect a GLA45 AMG producing over 300 horsepower, as well. As for what powers the GLA Concept, that just might remain a mystery until the vehicle is officially revealed in China.
Europe getting special Mercedes-Benz CLA Edition 1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Last week when we saw the leaked ordering guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, one particular image caught our eye showing the interior of the new sedan with a neon yellow stripe on the seats and yellow stitching throughout the cabin. As it turns out, this will be part of a limited-edition model called the Edition 1 about which Mercedes-Benz just released some information.
Usually, automakers wait until later in a vehicle's life to introduce special models like this, but the Edition 1 will be available right out of the gate for the first 12 months the CLA-Class is on sale. The 2014 CLA-Class Edition 1 includes the more aggressive Sport package adding AMG-style fascias and wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights and a lowered suspension; it will be offered only in five colors - unfortunately, Northern Lights Purple is not one of them. In addition to the bright yellow cabin accents, the Edition 1 will get sport seats wrapped in leather and microfiber, a sporty, flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather and real aluminum trim on the instrument panel.
With no mention of the US, we're only left to imagine that this car will not be arriving on our shores, but customers in Europe will definitely be able to enjoy the mean styling and funky interior with prices ranging from 35,402 euros up to 43,940 euros.
