Beautiful Mercedes 300 Diesel Turbo 4 door sedan.
Recent Engine rebuild by Auto Sport in Seattle. Auto Sport rebuilds engines for the local Mercedes Dealer as well as engines for collectible cars all over the North West. Engine has new piston liners, and pistons that were balanced on a gram scale. The factory engines are typically not well balanced. Balancing the pistons in these diesels makes them amazingly smooth. Recent replaced exhaust valves and valve guides. Front suspension has good ball joints, track rod mounts, and a new Mercedes steering box from Germany. The steering is tight with no play. The Michelin tires are relatively new. The front brakes are new. Transmission expertly rebuilt and a shift kit installed so that the shift point for every gear occurs at the right place in the power band of the engine. The clutches, bands torque converter and B2 servo were replaced also. This car shifts and drives better than 95% of the 300 turbo diesels on the road. The rear axle bearings and seals are new including new trans axle boots. This is no easy job. Climate control works great has a new compressor, hoses and expansion valve and has been converted to R134a refrigerant. About 5 years ago the whole car underwent a full restoration paint job. The glass, doors, trim, fenders, hood, and trunk lid were all removed, stripped to white metal and painted with epoxy primer then painted with 11 coats of paint including 4 coats of base coat "color" then 3 coats of clear coat. Everything was re assembled using all new door gaskets, windshield gaskets, and other rubber parts. Also included are a pair of mounted snow tires. Car has been well maintained and has maintenance records. This is a beautiful car with no rust or damage. |

Zetsche's CEO tenure extended through 2016 at Daimler
Sun, 24 Feb 2013There appear to be two takes on Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche having his contract extended for three more years, to 2016. A report in The Detroit News quotes the chairman of Daimler's supervisory board, Manfred Bischoff, talking up the stability at the top, "With today's extensions of the contracts of Dieter Zetsche and Thomas Weber, we are maintaining the important continuity at the top executive level." Bischoff also stated that that Zetsche has a plan to "further enhance Daimler's overall performance."
Over at Reuters, though, the three-year extension was seen as a lack of complete confidence in Zetsche's plans, since his contract was supposedly meant to be extended by five years. A spokesman said the board decided to extend executive contracts by only three years if the person was 60 or would turn 60 during the contract, but that was news to observers. Zetsche wants to make Mercedes-Benz the top selling luxury manufacturer globally by 2020, but has fallen to third place behind Audi and BMW. It hasn't held the top spot 2005, and investors judged it valued at half that of BMW at the end of 2012 once Daimler's truck business was subtracted.
Analysts cites the fact that Daimler stock hasn't bested its rivals but twice in twelve years, and that the company revised its profit target downward last year by nearly one billion euros, warning of stagnant earnings this year and will miss its original margin target for 2013.
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).

X1, 3 Series power BMW back into global luxury autos sales lead
Thu, 14 Mar 2013BMW managed to eke ahead of Audi for the global luxury sales crown in February. According to Bloomberg, BMW saw deliveries swell by 7 percent in February, besting the 3.2 percent jump enjoyed by Audi and giving BMW a 407-unit delivery lead over its rival last month. Mercedes-Benz, meanwhile, continued to falter, with the brand selling some 37,229 fewer machines than BMW, whose factories are running at full capacity to keep up with demand. Models like the X1 (shown above) enjoyed a sales increase of 40 percent in February while the company's bread-and-butter 3 Series jumped by 26 percent.
Mercedes-Benz hopes to stem its continued market share loss with the addition of the entry-level CLA sedan to its portfolio in April. The company is set to roll out an updated version of its cash-cow E-Class at the same time, and a new-generation S-Class will follow along shortly thereafter. Meanwhile, the company is increasing production to meet demand for its A and B-Class models.
