AMG Wheels, Fully Optioned!  
This week Canyon State Classics brings to market one of the best documented 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC Coupes on the Planet. This car is very special in several ways. It is a two owner car which has lived a very pampered life. This car is a very low production vehicle with only 5800 built worldwide in 1985. It also had a MSRP of over $60,000 when new and is fully loaded! This was THE big boy car to own in the 80's. This car was imported from Europe BRAND NEW in 1985 by original owner Mr. Richard Biederbeck of Phoenix, AZ. The car was imported by European Autohaus, who specialized in importing European Mercedes models here in Phoenix in the Mid 80s. This 500SEC was put through all US DOT regulations and rules and was officially sold on 10-14-1985 at which time the original owner even bought a service contract for the car! This car was his pride and joy and always received the best care and service. He sold the car to a close personal friend in 2001 who continued to show the love and care to this special car. Don't miss your chance to own the nicest SEC offered on eBay in a long time! The following is a list of options as this 500 SEC is currently equipped: -5.0L 245hp V8 Engine -4 Speed Automatic Transmission -Ice Cold A/C -Posi-Traction Rear End -Cruise Control -Power Windows -Power Door Locks -Power Antenna -Fog Lamps -Automatic Climate Control -Original Leather Interior -Power Sunroof -Power Seatbelt Arms -Upgraded Kenwood Premium CD The body on the
car is in very good condition and was extremely well maintained. The paint on
the car is finished in its original color of Anthracite Gray and is in very good
condition and has had one high quality repaint in its life. The car has been completely inspected underneath from front to back
and is solid as a rock as any well cared for garaged car should be. All chrome
trim, glass, and rubber seals are in great shape. The car looks as nice
as the day it rolled off the Mercedes lot. It just had a full detail done at a
cost of over $500 so this car looks spectacular! The car is accented by a high
dollar set of period correct AMG chrome wheels. They are wrapped in like new Michelin Performance Radials. The interior is in very nice original condition all around. The dash and door panels are in very nice condition with zero cracks or damage to be noted anywhere. The gray leather seats are all in very good condition and look almost new, which shows the quality of leather used in this car. All wood grain is in excellent condition with absolutely no cracks. The carpets are all very nice are not worn or damaged. The car also has nice coco-mat floor mats. All dials and controls function as they should, power windows and antenna also are fully functional. The sound system is also very nice with the upgraded Kenwood CD sound system. All lights, gauges switches, and accessories work as they should. The trunk compartment is very clean and does have the original jack, tools, and the ORIGINAL spare tire and wheel. This car is all there and in excellent shape with all functions and accessories working as they should. Mechanically, this SEC runs GREAT! I have owned nearly 20 80's and 90's era Mercedes vehicles, and this car blows the doors off all of them! The car starts right up and shifts smooth as silk. It drives as good now as the day it rolled of the lot. The V8 engine is very quick and responsive. It is reliable, easy to fix, and parts are readily available. The 5.0L V8 has been Mercedes workhorse engine for nearly 30 years, so you know it is just plain reliable. The suspension is very tight and feels solid even at autobahn speeds above 90mph, and is claimed to have a top speed of 140 MPH! The car was always regularly serviced every 4,000 miles and shows it in how flawless the car drives. The car is tight and right as any low mileage car should be with no current mechanical issues. This car is 100% fully documented with EVERY service receipt going back to 1985! I totaled up all the service receipts and over $30,000 has been spent maintaining this car over the last 30 years! The most recent owner just spent over $5000 doing a new timing chain, all new vac elements and wood panels in the dash, a 90k maintainence, new radiator, new power steering pump, all new shocks, and new brakes, and all new injectors! This is just the icing on the cake and pretty much every system on this car has been overhauled once other than an engine rebuild. The car will include ll original books, huge stack of receipts, custom car cover, original spare, jack, tools, euro-only warning triangle, as well as a trunk load of original Mercedes extra parts including hard to find euro spare parts. All in all, this is THE cleanest and nicest SEC that I have had the privilege of being associated with. It has been professionally maintained and truly loved by its previous owners. This Mercedes is a fantastic car for the price and includes every option offered in this car. Any further questions please call Jon at 480-703-2337. The car is located in Sunny Scottsdale, Arizona.

Maybach could become Mercedes-Benz sub-brand
Wed, 22 Jun 2011When you're arriving in a twin-turbocharged, twelve-cylinder Maybach limo, there's no reason you should ever have to be late. Except, maybe, to make a fashionable entrance. But up at the corporate level, the entire Maybach brand is being slowed down as critical decisions about its future are being undertaken.
Last week, we reported that a decision on what path Maybach would take going forward would be due at the start of next month, but the latest reports indicate that the timeframe has been extended as further options are being considered.
The previous options under consideration were twofold: either relaunch the brand with production outsourced to Aston Martin - which suddenly finds itself with excess production capacity - or shut it down completely. And those are still two very real options. Word has it that Aston has put together four concept cars for the Daimler brass to consider, all based on the next-generation S-Class platform (and thankfully not the old one).
Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG coming to the New York Auto Show
Tue, 05 Mar 2013Mercedes-Benz showed off the CLA45 AMG at a private event on the eve of the Geneva Motor Show, but was determined not to let it be photographed. We can talk about it, though - after all, a teaser image was released to promote the new Sony game Drive Club. The CLA45 AMG will use the same powertrain as the A45 AMG, which means a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. And that means a small four-door coupe sedan with the highest horsepower-per-liter in the segment. It will shift through the same seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, should also run out of speed at 155 miles per hour and have that three-stage stability control system.
As with its hatch sibling, the CLA is already so aggressive on the outside - and the parent company so anxious not to demolish the sedan's 0.22 coefficient of drag - that not much has been done to the cranked-up CLA. Even the rather thin tires on the standard only get a little less thin on the hotter variant. Inside will be the telltale AMG signs, with lots of red detailing and that flat-bottomed wheel among the giveaways. We'll know more later this month when the wraps come off at the New York International Auto Show.
Mercedes-Benz intros long-wheelbase E-Class for China
Thu, 25 Apr 2013Long-wheelbase sedans are a pretty hot commodity in China, and to keep up with the competition, Mercedes-Benz has introduced an extended version of the 2014 E-Class sedan at the Shanghai Motor Show. Audi, BMW, Volvo and even Cadillac offer extended versions of sedans specific to the Chinese market, and now the E-Class L, shown off in E400L guise, will give luxury sedan buyers in China yet another option.
Compared to the standard 2014 E-Class sedan, the new China-spec E-Class L has been stretched by 5.5 inches - all of which goes to the rear-seat passengers. According to an article on China View from earlier in the year, the market for chauffeur-driven cars is growing in the Asian nation, so automakers need long-wheelbase models like the E-Class L in order to fully compete. As for what powers this stretched E-Class, it's available in three models: the diesel E260L, the V6-powered E300L and the E400 Hybrid.
The redesigned E-Class and the all-new A-Class are just the first of 20 new Mercedes-Benz products that will be introduced into the Chinese auto market by 2015. Scroll down for the full press release on long-wheelbase E.
