This has been my baby since 2001 and has served me well. I bought it with 172,000 miles on it and have replaced many parts since I have had it. I currently have 248,618 on the Odometer. Now for the Bad, car will have to be towed or loaded on to a car carrier, it will run and drive short distances, but there is a large knock in the engine and that will need to be rebuilt. My friend borrowed the car when it was in L.A. and ran the thing with the thermostat stuck shut until the engine overheated. In addition, the exhaust system from the down Y in the middle of the car, although the way back is missing, it fell off on the ride to L.A. in Colorado, although it sounded amazing until the engine overheated a month later. The rear bumper fell off, but I still have it. No radio, but has two Boston speakers in back and two focal tweeters in the front. The vehicle is all pre-wired to handle a new radio install. There is a Wilson CB antenna wired into the vehicle and set for a lip trunk mount. The vehicle has 4 Blizzak Snow Tires on it as well. Everything worked on it prior to the epic trip it had out West. THE GOOD: THIS WAS MY FIRST BABY INTO THE WORLD OF THE W123 CHASSIS MANY NEW PARTS OVER THE LAST 12 YEARS I HAVE OWNED IT A GREAT SOUND SYSTEM THE VIRGIN GUADELOUPE SHIFTER THE BAD: REAR BUMPER IS NOT ON THE CAR, BUT I STILL HAVE IT. IT CAN BE WELDED ON PRETTY EASILY ENGINE HAS A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE AND WILL NEED A REBUILD, BUT IT STILL STARTS SO PROBABLY BAD BEARINGS. BOTH MUFFLERS MISSING IN THE MIDDLE OF COLORADO, BUT MAN DOES IT SOUND NICE, I WOULD HAVE STRAIGHT PIPED IT IF MY FRIEND DIDN’T KILL THE ‘UNBREAKABLE’ ENGINE OF ALL TIME THAT NORMALLY GOES A MILLION MILES. THE UGLY: SOME RUST SPOTS, NOTHING TOO EXTREME YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TOW THIS AWAY, BUT IT CAN DRIVE UP ON A TRANSPORTER SO THAT’S A PLUS YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SHIPPING PAYMENT BY CASH, WIRE, MONEY ORDER, CASHIER'S CHECK ANY QUESTIONS CALL 312-342-5000

Why all of this year's F1 noses are so ugly [w/video]
Fri, 31 Jan 2014If you're a serious fan of Formula One, you already know all about The Great Nosecone Conundrum of 2014. Those given to parsing each year's F1 regulations predicted the strong possibility of the so-called "anteater" noses as far back as early December 2013. Highly suggestive visual evidence first came after Caterham's crash test in early January, with further proof coming as soon as Williams showed a rendering of the FW36 challenger for this year's championship. That car earned a name that wasn't nearly so kind as "anteater."
Casual followers of the sport - or anyone who gets the feed from this site - probably don't know what's happening, except to wonder why the current year's F1 cars are led by appendages that would make Cyrano de Bergerac feel a whole lot better about himself.
The short answer to the question of ugsome F1 noses is "FIA regulations and safety." The reason there are various kinds of ugsome noses is simpler: engineers. The same boffins who have given us advances including carbon fiber monocoques, six-wheeled cars, double diffusers and Drag Reduction Systems are bred to do everything in their power to exploit every possible freedom in the regulations to make the cars they're building go faster - the caveat being that those advances have to work within the overall philosophy of the whole car.
2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec gets 33 mpg, priced from $38,950*
Tue, 30 Apr 2013It's been more than a year since we first saw the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec unveiled at the 2012 New York Auto Show, but it looks like the compact diesel crossover is finally starting to roll into dealerships. Those wanting to buy a diesel GLK will only have to pony up an extra $1,500 over a base, gas-powered GLK350, as the GLK250's starting price is listed at $38,590 (*not including $905 destination charge).
The turbocharged 2.1-liter four-cylinder diesel produces 200 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and Mercedes-Benz has also provided some fuel economy numbers for this model, with claimed EPA estimates of 24 miles per gallon city and 33 mpg highway. There is no listing for the GLK250 on the EPA's website yet, but the figures represent significant increase over the GLK350's lackluster 19 mpg city and 25 mpg highway figures, which are for the rear-wheel drive model. The GLK250 comes standard with the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system - a $2,000 option on GLK350 - meaning that if you want an all-wheel-drive version of the 2013 GLK, it's actually cheaper to opt for the diesel model. Head over to the Mercedes-Benz site for the full 2013 GLK-Class configurator.
Aston Martin and Daimler continue talks on SUV project, CEO required
Tue, 01 Apr 2014The Aston Martin Lagonda SUV concept revealed at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show didn't earn the plaudits the company is used to when it reveals new models, and it has lived an uncertain life ever since. Thought to have been scrapped along with the entire revival of the Lagonda brand, then thought to have been resurrected due to Chinese, Middle Eastern and Russian demand, another year passed before we heard more definitive talk about an Aston Martin expansion when AutoCar reported that the Lagonda could be built on one of Mercedes-Benz's AMG SUV platforms.
A report in Automotive News Europe indicates plans have gotten serious, its unnamed sources saying that the English carmaker is talking to Daimler "to extend their cooperation to building an SUV." Neither Daimler, Aston Martin nor Investindustrial, the managing partner among Aston Martin's ownership consortium, would comment. But with Investindustrial having pledged to expand the range, competitors like Bentley, Maserati and Lamborghini getting into the SUV racket and clear demand from current and future customers, it's easy to believe Aston Martin is working hard to put the pieces together.
One further potential bump on the road to an Aston SUV is the company's search for a new CEO. Ulrich Bez relinquished to top spot at the company at the end of 2013, and Aston reportedly will not finalize its model strategy without a new CEO in place.
