2002 Mercedes-Benz E430 with 46,000 miles

2002 Mercedes-Benz E430 with 46,000 miles

Published July 5, 2018 by Andrew

A little over a month ago I checked out a 2002 Mercedes-Benz E320 with an amazing 18,200 miles on it. I personally wasn’t so amazed by it because it was an average as a car gets. Yes, it was clean, but it didn’t have many options at all and actually had a few issues. Today, I have another W210 E-Class with low miles, but this one is the V8 E430. This E-Class with a little under 48,000 miles checks in from Costa Mesa, California but again, I’m not blown away with it for some reason. Maybe it’s just the terrible color again?

Roll the Dice: 1985 Porsche 928S

Roll the Dice: 1985 Porsche 928S

Published July 4, 2018 by Rob

We’ve been running with the “Roll the Dice” posts for a little while now, but this will be the first time I have taken a foray into that segment. While all of the marques featured in such posts pose inherent financial risk, Porsche may represent the riskiest of all since the price of entry is in many cases already rather high. This is especially the case with my most favored car, the 911. But I really want to like this car and given its current state, a roll of the dice may be just want you’re looking at.

This is a 1985 Porsche 928S in the very rare combination of Prussian Blue Metallic over a Can-can Red interior. It’s a very striking combination and one that I absolutely love. Prussian Blue makes for a very pretty exterior color, but without being flashy. Can-can Red is…well it’s all flash. The juxtaposition of the two colors works great and you’re certain to attract plenty of attention. It’s also not something we see on the 928 too often. And that’s why I like this 928 quite a bit. It helps that both the exterior and interior look in nice shape. It’s mechanical condition…that’s where the roll of the dice comes in because the seller seems to have a decent sense of what the problems are, but not necessarily the cause of those problems.

Feature Listing: 2001 Audi S8

Audi’s S products from the early 2000s are a conundrum for me. I think the S6 Avant is neat, but I don’t love it. I think the S4 is neat, but I don’t love it. Even the mighty RS4 should capture all of my attention – but it doesn’t. I can’t quite pinpoint what it is about these cars that I find lacking, but collectively they all fall short for me.

But the S8? I love the S8. And for the same reason that I can’t quite identify what’s missing from the other models, I’m at a loss to fully quantify what it is I find so perfect about the D2. But it is just about perfect; arguably the best looking big-body Audi made to date, and though newer cars have far more power, when it came to the early 2000s this was the punchy package you wanted if you liked to drive rather than be chauffeured.

Unlike some other early 2000s big executives, the S8 still looks the boss today. Mean, low and long, it is remarkably fresh despite the design being the best part of 20 years old. Yet they remain some of the best values out there. Find a good one, and you’ll have class, speed and style which defy the price you paid:

1967 Porsche 911 Coupe

1967 Porsche 911 Coupe

Published July 3, 2018 by Rob

While not necessarily surprising given their age the early short-wheelbase 911s really do not come around that often, even relative to the later long-hood models. This one I think looks particularly good. This is a Polo Red 1967 Porsche 911 Coupe with a set of lovely black, white, and red houndstooth seat inserts in the interior that looks fantastic as a contrast to the Polo Red exterior.

1967 brought with it a couple changes to the 911 lineup. Of perhaps greatest importance is it marked the debut of the 911 Targa, which at this early stage was in the quirky soft-window form. The Targa would be a mainstay of the 911 lineup for nearly 30 years before going on a brief hiatus after a redesign for the 993. This also was the first year for the top-of-the-line 911S. Of course, neither of those things applies to this 911, which is a base model Coupe, but we might as well account for the available options. Another change, which this time does apply to this 911, was the replacement of the wood dash with an aluminum dash. For me that’s a little bit to the ’67 911’s detriment as those wood dashes were so good looking, but the aluminum look perhaps provides a little more of a sporting feel.

Tuner Tuesday: 1994 Mercedes-Benz SL70 Renntech

Tuner Tuesday: 1994 Mercedes-Benz SL70 Renntech

If some is good, more is better. A lot of times that is true, sometimes it is not. Thankfully, that saying applies when talking about V12 Mercedes-Benz. One of the most common modifications to the M120 V12 is taking that 6.0 liter and increasing the displacement to a 7.0, 7.2, 7.3 or even crazier 7.4. AMG was known to do this in small batches as well as other aftermarket tuners. One of those aftermarket tuners was Renntech. They would pump these up to 7.0 liters as well as modify other things like camshafts and surrounding parts. The result was somewhere over 500 horsepower and a price tag to make anyone do a double take. Today, we have a one of those 7.0 liter conversions up for sale in Kentucky in this 1994 SL. Even better, there are some AMG goodies on this car as well.
