I am moving to Maine and cannot take this baby with me. My loss is your gain. I have really enjoyed this car and put quite a bit of money into it over the last several years to make it a comfortable and reliable weekend car. This car has tremendous curb appeal. I always get compliments and admiration for the car. I often get family stories from people who have fond memories this model of Mercedes.

Please note that this is not a showroom car. It is not in fully restored or perfect condition. It is a solid Hagerty Condition 3 car. Check out the descriptions here: https://www.hagerty.com/valuationtools/HVT/VehicleSearch/Report?vc=1378154 . This car has a very good interior. No structural rust damage. Minimal body rust. Working A/C. After market radio with CD and MP3 input. Engine, transmission, suspension are all very good. The engine runs very nicely and there is no shaking or drift at 70 mph.

Hagerty values this car at $6,600 in its current condition. If you want to enjoy it as a fun, reliable, weekend or around-town car, your only investment will be regular maintenance and occasional part replacements. Most everything works on this car: all lights, gauges, heat, a/c, radio, blinkers, wipers. The only things I know of that don't work are the clock and the wiper-washer.

As previously stated, over $15,000 has been invested in this car since I've owned it. This car has a used engine from a later model 250 of the same body style. What is new includes a custom A/C condenser, complete exhaust system, radiator, carburetor, tires, front windshield, all seals around windows and doors and trunk, plus many other improvements too numerous to list.

You are welcome to arrange an inspection of the vehicle before you purchase. However, the car is being sold as-is. To the best of my knowledge the vehicle has never been in an accident. The mileage (based on the condition of the interior and paint) is estimated by my mechanic at 115,000 (there is only a 5-digit odometer). My mechanic recently inspected the car in advance of this sale to determine if there are any major mechanical or structural issues with the car. There are none. There is some minor body rust and small leaks in the transmission and gaskets as can be expected of a 45-year-old car. But they do not affect the normal operation of the car.

I am asking $5,500 for the car, which is well below the Hagerty listed value of $6,600. I will answer any questions you may have about the car. If you choose to purchase this car, I know you will enjoy it as much as I have.

Does Alex Rodriguez' Mercedes dealership have a PR problem?

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Alex Rodriguez, in case you haven't heard, is seemingly the new Most Hated Man In Baseball, ostensibly replacing commissioner Bud Selig (for now). Rodriguez was slammed with a 211-game suspension due to his role in the MLB's latest steroid scandal in which "A-Roid," as fans have taken to calling the former superstar, was cited with steroid use and attempts to hide his involvement by "engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate" the investigation, according to the MLB's official report.
Why is this on a car site, then? Because Rodriguez' name is attached Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz in League City, TX. An Ad Age report cites Mercedes-Benz USA in saying that A-Rod owns "about half'" of the dealership. Mercedes, for what it's worth, isn't going to any to any lengths to distance itself from its dealership or its controversial namesake, saying, "We never promoted the fact that A-Rod owned a dealership, so there's really nothing to 'distance' ourselves from. And since his activity is not illegal but rather prohibited by MLB, there's nothing actionable here."
With the scandal still a fresh piece of news and A-Rod's pending appeal, it's difficult to tell what sort of effect, if any, his name will have on the dealership's sales. Ad Age contacted the GM of Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz to get the dealership's view, but no calls were returned. According to Mercedes, any name change is up to Rodriguez and his partner(s) at the dealership. Somehow, though, we think A-Rod has other things to worry about beyond his dealership's name.

Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept crossover leaked ahead of Shanghai debut

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

With just a few days left before the start of the Shanghai Motor Show, images of the Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept compact crossover have emerged online. The little 'ute is based on the small A-Class hatchback, and though it shares an identical wheelbase, is larger in every other dimension.
Looking like a rough-and-tumble five-door hatchback on the tippy toes of its 20-inch wheels, the GLA is most certainly destined for production in a toned down form that will borrow many bits and pieces from other cars based on this platform like the aforementioned A-Class and the CLA-Class sedan. Carscoop reports that the production version of the GLA will be revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September of this year, with sales to the public starting in 2014.
Since it's based on the A-Class, we expect that the production GLA-Class will be powered by your choice of Mercedes' 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine and a diesel or two, and will offer transmissions that include the company's seven-speed DCT and perhaps a six-speed manual (at least in Europe). If the GLA follows the same path as the two cars before it, expect a GLA45 AMG producing over 300 horsepower, as well. As for what powers the GLA Concept, that just might remain a mystery until the vehicle is officially revealed in China.

Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG officially teased in mini video

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

The followup to the Mercedes-Benz S550, the S63 AMG, will sport a biturbocharged V8 that will likely turn out around 550 horsepower. The new engine is probably the 5.5-liter, biturbocharged V-8 that's been popping up in everything from the ML63 to the E63 AMG. The front fascia is more aggressive, which shouldn't come as a surprise, while a meaty exhaust setup can be found out back.
We managed to pick all that up from a short, 17-second video posted by MB. The original video that unveiled the S63 AMG has since been pulled down, making this YouTube clip the best look we now have at the new super sedan, at least until the Germans give up the goods for real.
Be sure to check out the video below, along with our original posting on the S63 AMG.
