     What separates this car from most is in fact it is a one owner Southern California car since new! He is a family friend of mine and is very honest and trustworthy. It was babied it's entire life by a southern California prominent doctor who drove this car to and from work and to and from the country club. This car was garaged it's entire life in the upscale city of Villa Park CA. For those of you who know this neighborhood it is like the Beverly Hills of Orange County. No expense was spared when keeping this car tip top since new. Always serviced by Mercedes Benz certified mechanics. The previous owner loved this car and can have very well bought many other newer models over the 31 years he owned this car. When I asked him why he kept this particular car so long his answer was simple. "Always trouble free, very reliable, and a joy to drive". Period!
     This car is all original and has the well known bullet proof Mercedes 5 cylinder turbo diesel motor that shows just under 250,000 original highway miles. Of course you know that this kind of miles on a Mercedes diesel is far from it's life expectancy. Especially considering who owned this car since new. A million miles is not unheard of. Just ask any Mercedes certified diesel mechanic what you can expect from this type of motor. The transmission shifts perfectly and this car drives down the highway going 80 MPH like it was on rails. VERY RELIABLE car for VERY CHEAP! Everything mechanically works as new except the A/C does not blow cold. The engine compartment is as clean and detailed as they come and again just oozes the meticulous nature of the previous owner.
     The exterior show so nice with hardly any flaws at all. The paint shines EXCEPTIONALLY well! This car was detailed often and believe me it shows! Again garaged it's entire life at home, at the hospital, and even at the country club! You will not be disappointed when examining the exterior quality and shine. Just gorgeous! I can only find one ding by the rear license plate and a few dings on the passenger side doors from being garaged. But these few dings can easily be repaired by a Dent Repair Specialist without having to re-paint. A few rock chips on the bottom portion of the front clip but WOW! You can tell how well this car has been cared for. It wears 99% of it's original paint since new. Only one VERY MINOR bump in the front bumper that took only a couple of days at the local Mercedes body shop to fix. Otherwise this car has never been involved in a accident! The under carriage shows ZERO rust and is VERY clean.
     The interior shows very well for it's age but does have a couple of minor flaws. It has a aftermarket stereo since the original was stolen many years ago. The front seats has some leather cracking and the leather on the center door posts seem droopy. A minor interior detail would really bring out the quality the leather still retains. Very nice interior with just a couple of flaws. Please see the photos and the attachment to PhotoBucket for many quality detailed photos.
     Just come and see this car. For being 31 years old this car is fantastic! Where can you get a 4-door Mercedes that runs and drives exceptional, has a clear title, owned by a doctor in southern California since new for VERY cheap?

Mercedes Sprinter updated to take on Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

By the end of this year, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter will be the second-oldest nameplate in its segment here in the States, but with hot new competition waiting in the wings, Mercedes-Benz is giving its hauler a freshened look and more equipment to stave off rivals. The Sprinter was a pioneer in bringing Euro-style delivery vans to North America, and it's inspired others to transplant their Continental offerings, with the all-new Ford Transit and Ram Promaster models launching shortly. It will also continue to do battle with lower-cost traditional competitors like the Chevrolet Express and Ford E-Series.
The big Sprinter will thus get a new look to go with more safety features and available technology. While the information released here technically covers the Euro-spec 2013 Sprinter (which goes on sale in September), the US market is expected to get the new Sprinter for the 2014 model year with many of the same features. Some of this new technology includes a Crosswind Assist feature as standard equipment and the availability of Collision Prevention Assist and Blind Spot Assist as optional safety measures - Mercedes-Benz says that all three are firsts for any van in the world. Also added to the updated Sprinter is a new 1.8-liter supercharged gasoline (or CNG) engine producing 156 horsepower, which will complement the line of diesel engines that carry over and help make the Sprinter the first cargo van to meet the upcoming Euro VI emissions standards. Additionally, a lower ride height is said to improve fuel economy and should improve handling while aiding ingress and egress for both people and cargo.
In terms of styling, the Sprinter's new face also looks more like the current line of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars. This includes a more upright grille along with changes to the hood, headlights and bumper that lend it a closer kinship to models like the CLS-Class and the updated E-Class. The Sprinter will offer both halogen and HID headlights, while the latter will get LED running lamps and offer Highbeam Assist. The images shown here only reveal the exterior from front angles, but it looks like few, if any, changes have been made to the rear of the van. Interior upgrades include a thicker steering wheel, a new shift lever and the latest in audio, navigation and entertainment systems. Scroll down for the official press release for the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.

13-year-old boy swipes dad's Mercedes, drives across Europe

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

After an argument with his adoptive parents that resulted in them taking away his mobile phone, an angry 13-year-old boy ran away from his home in Italy and headed straight to Poland to meet his biological sister. But instead of taking the train or hitching a ride, like most on the run, the young man (an accomplished go-kart racer and car enthusiast) grabbed the keys to his father's Mercedes-Benz and jumped behind the wheel for an impromptu road trip.
With less than 200 euros (about $270) in his wallet and a passport in his pocket, the youngster managed to put more than 500 miles between himself and his distraught parents, crossing two international borders in the process, before German police nabbed him just shy of the Polish border. According to reports, the vehicle was tracked - it wasn't his driving that alerted authorities to his location.
Reunited with his mother and father, who traveled to Germany to retrieve both their son and the vehicle, the young man apologized and acknowledged his error. As a result of his actions, social workers will increase checks on the family and we can be sure his parents are now hiding the keys.

Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG officially teased in mini video

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

The followup to the Mercedes-Benz S550, the S63 AMG, will sport a biturbocharged V8 that will likely turn out around 550 horsepower. The new engine is probably the 5.5-liter, biturbocharged V-8 that's been popping up in everything from the ML63 to the E63 AMG. The front fascia is more aggressive, which shouldn't come as a surprise, while a meaty exhaust setup can be found out back.
We managed to pick all that up from a short, 17-second video posted by MB. The original video that unveiled the S63 AMG has since been pulled down, making this YouTube clip the best look we now have at the new super sedan, at least until the Germans give up the goods for real.
Be sure to check out the video below, along with our original posting on the S63 AMG.
