This 240D has been a daily driver for me for 3 years. This is a rust free Southern car. A great commuter, fuel conversion candidate or restoration project.
- AC doesn't work- heat is fine. Was converted to 134a according to sticker under the hood.
- Dieseling- Engine runs after key is turned off. I suspect a vacuum system leak. I stall it out to shut off engine when this happens.
- The check engine light has been on since the front brakes were done. I think it may be the brake pad wear sensor.
- The door locks don't all lock with the driver's key from the exterior, or from the interior by depressing the driver's side lock button. this is likely due to a vacuum leak as well. Locks will operate manually.
- The sunroof is not working, though it was when I bought it. I suspect a bad switch.
- Minor dents in driver's rear 1/4 panel and passenger front 1/4 panel. Dents scratches, and nicks as would be expected for an old car.
- Top foam portion of shifter knob broken off. Still works fine. I tried an aftermarket one and it kept coming loose. Needs a Merz knob.
- The antenna is not connected in the trunk, so the radio reception is sometimes fuzzy.
- The driver's side rear window switch is out. The window can be opened from the driver's seat, but not from the back seat.
- Switch for exterior passenger side mirror control is out.
- Clock just stopped working. Speedometer, odometer, gas gauge, temperature gauge work normally.
- There is an occasional short in the low beam/ high beam control arm, where you have to jiggle it to get the lights to shine. It is occasional, and always corrects with a little jiggle, so i haven't looked into fixing it.
- Passenger's front seat has a bad spring so that it is lower on the side closer the door.
- Some upholstery and rubber seals have degraded from age.
- Front door springs are worn. Doors open, close, and latch, but could use some attention.
- One of the heat/ AC vents is loose in it's slot.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
Maybach lost upwards of $500k on each vehicle sold
Wed, 08 Feb 2012Daimler is shuttering Maybach in 2013 after seven years of production. In that time, the company's ultra-ultra-luxury arm managed to sell just 3,000 units, and CAR reports Daimler lost somewhere around $500,000 on each and every one of them.
Even with a ludicrous price tag of over $370,000 for an "entry" Maybach 57, the brand couldn't quite recoup the dizzying $1.33 billion Daimler poured into it since its (re)inception. Rumors ignited over a possible tie up with Aston Martin that would have resulted in a range of new and attractive models, but Daimler has instead decided to snuff out Maybach altogether.
We can hardly blame them.
Mercedes-AMG GT attacks Circuit of the Americas
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Mercedes-Benz is having a banner year with its Formula One team. Through 2014, the constructor has 454 championship points; ahead of its nearest competitor (Red Bull-Renault) by a margin of 182 tally marks. We're sure they can almost taste the champagne.
It's fitting then, and a little big cocky in a good way, that Mercedes has released a video of its newest sports car at an F1 venue. In this case, the car is the lovely Mercedes-AMG GT S, and the racetrack is Austin's Circuit of the Americas.
Having seen the official photo set and scratched the surface of the technical specifications earlier this week, we're excited to finally hear the thing run. As you might guess, the deployment of 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque from the twin-turbo V8 is a motivating experience. Crank up your volume, and hit that play button. (Oh, and Mercedes shot the thing in 4K, too, so those of you with expensive televisions/monitors should take heed to the settings.)
