nice example of a near perfect 1975 mercedes SL 450 convertible

Obviously almost 40 years old, so not perfect, but it is my daily driver, and runs great

I would say, that the paint needs to be repainted, it was painted almost 10 years ago, it looks good, but to be better, might as well get it painted.

The interior does have a seam undone on the driver's side, and on the passenger seat it has a small cut. The dash looks pretty good, as does the convertible top. I do not have a hard top for the car, never needed one.

These cars are hard to find in this condition, it runs well, drives well, and you shouldn't have any problems driving it where you want to go.

The body has no rust, the undercarriage is solid, but again, being this age, it should be painted if you are looking for perfection.

In the past few years, the engine has been tuned, the injection unit has been serviced, the tires have been replaced, the exhaust have been replaced, I have receipts of almost 4,000 for all the work. The a/c does not blow cold.

Again, it runs fine, it is my daily driver.

I am located only 7 minutes across the border from Bellingham, Washington, in South Surrey, British Columbia. Come over to pick up the car, we will go to the local transfer office, and transfer ownership into your name. Drive the car home. Again, it is not perfect, buy it is a great great example of a 1975 Mercedes Convertible. It looks nice, drives well, all electric works, there is no rust, it is a solid car, for the price, you can't go wrong. Great color combination, red with black interior.

Please do not bid, unless you are serious about buying. If you want more pictures, just send your email address, and what pictures you want, and I will send them to you.

thanks,

and happy bidding

Mercedes says it's tops in luxury sales for 2012, not BMW

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

It turns out that Mercedes-Benz North America has legitimate claim to being the top selling luxury nameplate in the US in 2012.
While sources such as Autodata had put BMW in the top spot, registration data from R.L. Polk shows that Mercedes customers registering new vehicles topped the Bavarian automaker in the most recent calendar year. Polk says Benz posted 274,123 registrations, compared with BMW's 268,498.
In terms of sales posted, BMW had bested Benz 281,460 to 274,134. But sales are recorded somewhat inconsistently from automaker to automaker. Some book the sales as soon as they are shipped from factory to dealer. There is perennial gamesmanship between the two German rivals, and the sales numbers suggest that BMW pushed out some extra sheetmetal to dealers in the last four weeks of the year.

Mercedes Makes A Mighty Little Sedan
We got overexcited when the W203 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan came out in 2001, calling it the "Baby Benz" when it really wasn't. We knew that, too, but our enthusiasm for a model more like the old 190 of the '80s was so strong that we were willing to stretch the first-gen C-Class to fit that mold. Today, the C-Class has done what all German premium cars do: grown in size. In this case, grown to satisfy the market intentions of the previous E-Class.
There was the tall A-Class sold from 1998 through 2010, but we never considered that a serious small Benz in the proper spirit, nor was it ever offered in the US. Regardless, we've been craving a smaller, premium, sexy sedan all the while.

Maybach lost upwards of $500k on each vehicle sold

Wed, 08 Feb 2012

Daimler is shuttering Maybach in 2013 after seven years of production. In that time, the company's ultra-ultra-luxury arm managed to sell just 3,000 units, and CAR reports Daimler lost somewhere around $500,000 on each and every one of them.
Even with a ludicrous price tag of over $370,000 for an "entry" Maybach 57, the brand couldn't quite recoup the dizzying $1.33 billion Daimler poured into it since its (re)inception. Rumors ignited over a possible tie up with Aston Martin that would have resulted in a range of new and attractive models, but Daimler has instead decided to snuff out Maybach altogether.
We can hardly blame them.
