Are you looking for the “ultimate in luxury” or just feeling the “need for speed?”

As a european car enthusiast and lucky to be in the car industry, one of my favorites is the Jaguar XFR-S.

Jaguars have always grabbed my attention, especially with the release of the XF. A Jaguar that actually has room in the back seats for family. The unique design screams luxury and has a very attractive price tag, making it feasible to own one. The only thing the XF was missing was the horsepower. Driving around BMW M5’s and Mercedes E63 AMG’s made me want the same out of the Jaguar. Then, my eyes were opened to the JAGUAR XFR-S. This is still the four door Jaguar XF that fits my entire family with three kids comfortable in the back. I have them glued to their seats with the incredible 550 Horsepower supercharged V8. Stepping on the gas makes me forget all about and AMG or any M series from BMW. The XFR-S has a distinct style, different from any normal Jaguar with it’s aggressive look. With black leather interior and a white exterior, this is my favorite color combination. The black exterior trim especially stands out with this beautiful polaris white paint. With amenities that put any ordinary car to shame, I get the ultimate in luxury. With the horsepower, vents, wheels and spoiler I fill my need for speed.

And the winner for high-miles goes to…

Take pride in your ride, it could last forever

500k+ miles, counting

There is something to be said about a 26-year-old Mercedes-Benz with nearly 600k miles. In Terry Garland’s case, his recently retired 1989 Mercedes-Benz 300E is one for the records.

Garland’s first Mercedes he owned was a 190 E “Baby Benz.” When the car reached 200k miles he says it became problematic. The size of the vehicle was not suiting his needs either. With an itch to upgrade, Garland would seek out his next Merc.

According to NADA Guides, the original MSRP (manufacturer suggested retail price) for a 1989 300E 4-door sedan was $44,850.

My brother had convinced me the car would last a long time with routine maintenance, says Garland. At the time of it’s production, the 300 E or “W124” was known for being a high-mileage car and often times would proudly represent Mercedes-Benz high mileage badges on the grill.

The car was purchased in the early 1990s from former Don Rasmussen’s location in downtown Portland. Garland was the second owner and purchased the car with only 62k original miles.

Garland says outside of the aesthetically pleasing look of the car, the size of the boot is one thing he loved. Even with his recent upgrade to a 2014 C-Class, Garland says  “I miss my old trunk!” 

Used as a daily-driver with many trips to Seattle and the coast, Garland says the 300 E was a solid vehicle with no reoccurring issues. “Any time there was an issue, I got it fixed right away.”

Having all of his services done at MBI Motors in Portland, Garland says he knew he had a relic when he became acquainted with every tech at the shop. “I was religious with my maintenance.” He claimed to have had the oil-changed and regular tune-ups every 3k miles since he owned it. 

The car still runs and drives, and Freeman Motor Company will donate it to Bob’s Auto CafeBob’s is a non-profit which trains mechanics for the automotive industry. They use donated vehicles to learn, work on and then sell.

We would like to congratulate Mr. Garland on his newly purchased 2014 Mercedes C250 as well as thank him for his business and story.

When asked how he felt about trading the 300 E in, Garland replied, ““It served me well, and I will miss it.”

Now Open Sundays

 

Why did we decide to open on Sunday’s?

Freeman Motor Company thought being open on Sunday’s would be beneficial to change our hours of operation to accommodate both employees and customers. As of January, we were glad to announce that our showroom is open on Sundays from 12-6 P.M. 

Our employees get two days off, but in sales, those two days off are typically split. Opening on Sundays helps us broaden the scheduling opportunities and allows each one of our employees to get two days-off in a row.

We understand it’s important to disconnect and properly decompress from work and enjoy life at home. We also adjusted our hours on Sunday’s to be considerate of those attending church or other morning commitments.

Car shopping can be timely, research heavy and stressful. Here at Freeman, we acknowledge these anxieties and are here to help make the process smooth, quick and painless. Browse our inventory online (www.freemanmotor.com), call to speak with one of our sales people and let us set-up a viewing that will get you in and out at your convenience.

It is our confidence in our employees, products, cars and customer service that leaves YOU driving away confident.
