I purchased this wagon on eBay from a great guy here in Florida two years ago. He only sells top notch cars, and this one has been no exception. It has been a fantastic car, but the time has come to get a newer car for my growing family, and this one sadly has to go. It is about as close to perfect as you can get for a nearly 30 year old car. I'll start with the two known issues - 1) The glow plug light does not come on when you turn the ignition. Very minor, you just have to wait a few seconds before turning it over in the morning. And 2) The rear window wiper is working intermittent. I just noticed this the other day while driving it, checking everything out. It could just be the switch I'm really not sure, I never use it but it could be an issue for someone else. Other than that, the car is perfect. Even the cruise control works !(rare) The A/C, windows, radio, clock, tach, odometer, vacuum system, all work properly. The engine and transmission are in great working order too. It has been very dependable, and I would have no problem driving it any distance. My wife sometimes drives 250 miles a day for work, and she has used this car more than a few times to do so with no issue - other than not wanting to give me the keys back :) The great thing is that it's driven on nearly a daily basis, hasn't been sitting for years like some, and is routinely maintained. I am not the original owner (obviously) and I do not have service records dating back to 1985, wish I did, but I've maintained this car through a local German car shop and could pull service records of what I've done per request. I have one key and two proper blanks that I will include with the sale, along with a spare oil, air, and fuel filter.
A deposit of $500 is due within 48 hours of sale and full payment within 7 days or she goes back up. Thanks for looking, feel free to message me with any questions or to set up a time to see it in person. I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking. Just keep in mind that yes, the paint looks fantastic at 5 feet away but it does have a few scratches and chips - it's nearly 30 years old!
btw - If you are out of state, shipping is on you. If you want to set something up yourself, I'll assist in a reasonable way but I'm not going to do it for you. You can message me and we can work out the details if you're serious.

Mercedes to market Tesla-powered 2014 B-Class EV in U.S.
Thu, 05 Jul 2012Looks like another Tesla Motors investor will be looking to cash in on their connection. Autoweek reports Mercedes-Benz will offer their B-Class in the U.S. with Tesla propulsion.
The magazine says their source at the German automaker confirms plans for a B-Class electric-only vehicle. While Tesla already provides battery packs for the battery-powered Smart ForTwo, the B-Class EV will reportedly have Tesla batteries, motor and other components. U.S. residents should be able to procure one sometime in 2014.
The same Mercedes source says plans for a hybrid B-Class have been postponed for now. Adding a range-extending, gasoline-powered engine to an electric vehicle would put the car into a different class for which rebates and incentives aren't as favorable in the States.
Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG formalize technical partnership
Thu, 19 Dec 2013The development of a partnership between Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin has been a long time coming. The news dates back to 2008, and over the five years since was supposed to lead to a rejuvenation of both the Maybach and Lagonda brands. That program ultimately fell apart, but the tie-in was forged afresh in July when the two automakers signed a letter of intent over a renewed partnership. And now that partnership has been formalized.
In a deal just announced, Mercedes-AMG will build a new V8 engine for Aston Martin that will power a new generation of luxury GTs for the British marque, presumably to replace the 4.7-liter V8 in the Vantage. The relationship appears to be similar to the one already in place between AMG and Pagani, only in this case, will involve Daimler taking as much as a five-percent stake in Aston Martin and an observer seat on Aston's board.
The technical partnership is also set to lead to the supply of electric and electronic systems, and could incorporate "additional areas of cooperation in the future." Whether that will include a fresh attempt at reviving Lagonda remains to be seen, as does the future of Aston's long-serving, Ford-based 6.0-liter V12 engine. But for now you can read the full announcement below.
2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Make way for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, the most wonderfully preposterous car I have ever driven.
There is absolutely no reason why any two-seat roadster should be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 developing 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, but I sure am glad that Mercedes-Benz doesn't see things that way.
Drop into the leather-lined cockpit of this $213,145 provocateur, floor the accelerator pedal as I did over and over again, and 60 miles per hour falls in a traction-limited 3.9 seconds. Top speed has been electronically held to 186 mph (this apparently saves Gulfstream jet owners from embarrassment). Forget the SL550 and SL63 AMG, the valets will trip over themselves attending to the tycoon driving this thoroughbred - it's the real deal.
