Up for auction is "Miss Daisy." She is a terrific example of one of Mercedes most beautiful and dependable cars ever. These old Mercedes are tanks...very durable and well made back when they really meant it when they said, "The best or nothing." And very fun to drive. I get compliments wherever I go in it.

I've owned it for a little over 12 years and have driven in about 7,000 miles with no issues. I change the oil every year regardless of mileage, and have only had to service the brakes (new pads) and put new belts on it. This engine is legendary and has many many years and miles ahead of it.

The good:

Runs, shifts, drives wonderfully

Most of the body is in excellent condition...floor pans, jack holes, trunk, all rust free and solid as a rock. Exceptions are noted below.

Most of the interior is in excellent condition.

The air conditioning still blows cold, but only on the high fan setting.

The brakes pads are almost new.

The vacuum door locks, lights, wipers, turn signals all work fine.

The not so good:

The tires have plenty of tread on them, but they are older tires and probably need to be replaced.

There is one small spot of rust as shown behind the passenger side rear wheel.

There are some small, minor marks on the driver's side C pillar. They look like some sort of paint. Might be able to rub them off.

The exhaust system is original and I've patched it a few times. It will probably need to be replaced in the next year or so.

The glow plug pull knob is missing. I've replaced it with a large washer that works fine.

There is one small crack in the middle of the dash. It lines up with the radio speaker so it's not readily noticeable.

The clock doesn't work.

There are some minor tears in the headliner in the rear corners and one on the side of the passenger seat. The headliner does not sag. The passenger seat also has a very very small rip.

The front right exterior corner marker doesn't work. I haven't chased that down but it's a minor fix.

The fuel gauge is funky. The sender probably needs to be cleaned. Again, an easy job I just haven't gotten to.

And, as you would expect in an almost 40 year old original car, there are some minor nicks and dents here and there that wouldn't show up in photos. Very minor, but I always tell it like it is.

This is a wonderful car that I've driven to Mercedes events and it always draws a crowd. With a car like this, there are always things to tinker with which is half the fun of ownership. If you are the successful bidder, I would encourage you to join the Mercedes Club of America and at least one of the excellent Mercedes forums out there. I have owned many Mercedes over the years and have found the club and the forums invaluable. This car was the first Mercedes I ever bought, so it holds a special place. But I am downsizing, so it has to go.

If you need additional photos (serious bidders please) or have any questions, let me know. Good luck and happy bidding!

2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA order guide leaked

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The dealer order guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA has made its way online courtesy of the crew at CLAForums.com, and not only does it shed light on the ways buyers will be able to configure the entry-level sedan, it talks specific option pricing. Shoppers will be able to select between the CLA250 and CLA250 4Matic, and the option sheet should offer a number of packages to suit buyer tastes, including a sport package with tweaked fascias and unique wheels. Bi-xenon headlamps and 18-inch alloys may also be had as well as a panoramic sunroof and a collision avoidance system. The CLA will be available with a number of active safety systems on board, including lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, park assist and blind spot assist, to name a few.
The new sedan comes in 10 colors, including a very dashing purple Mecedes-Benz calls Northern Lights Violet, and there are a total of four interior trim finishes. The automaker hasn't released final pricing of all models just as of yet - we do know from Mercedes' Kate Upton Super Bowl ad that the car will start at $29,900 - but you can check out individual option and package pricing in the gallery. You can also find more information over at CLAForums.com.

Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
