Mercedes Benz 450 SEL 1978 – Only 114,000 miles.

I’m selling a 1978 Mercedes Benz 450 SEL with 114,000 original miles. I bought this car from the original owner in November 2009.

The condition of the car is as follows:

Exterior: The car is very solid and sharp, all the panels fit well and the chrome is in excellent condition needing only a good paint job. There is no visible rust; the original owner told me that it was never driven in rain or snow.

Interior: Front and back seats are in good condition, they are leather and could be cleaned and treated, no rips. Carpets are great just needing shampoo. The dashboard is in perfect condition with no cracks, the cluster of instruments lights up and works as they should and the seat belt warning beep still works. The Becker radio still works and can be retrofitted to play your Ipod. Since this car does not have a sunroof, it has very excellent head room. All the courtesy lights work as intended.

Driving: The car runs very strong, if you are familiar with the Washington, D.C. area, I have been driving this car around the beltway, crossing the Chesapeake Bay bridge, without a problem, it is not shaking while idle and the speed shifting is very smooth. The A/C blows cold air and the heat works fine in winter. The car has a clear title and just passed the Maryland emission test. This car is not registered as “historic” and that tells you that the condition of the car is excellent.

I bought this car to restore it, unfortunately, I’m losing my rented enclosed garage space and I don’t want to park it in the street.

The car is sold as is and not warranty is offered or implied. I have described the car the best to my knowledge.

This car was the best sedan in the World back in the day and remains under the radar screen of collectors, however, a lot of these cars have been salvaged and every day there are fewer on the road. This is the first car to wear the badge “S” Class from Mercedes-Benz. A car from the time when driving a Benz was a privilege of few.

Mercedes considering GLA-based crossover coupe

Wed, 30 Apr 2014

BMW opened a whole Pandora's Box when it introduced the X6 back in 2008. Sure it made little sense, sacrificing all that "utility" for a little more "sport," but it's been a solid success for BMW - especially considering the nominal expense it cost to develop the X6 on top of the X5 on which it's based. Little wonder that, while BMW has already followed up with a smaller version in the form of the X4, other automakers are starting to catch up. And that includes Mercedes-Benz.
The German automaker is preparing to launch a new MLC, based on the M-Class but with a sportier silhouette, and previewed it with the Concept Coupe SUV at the Beijing Motor Show. But that's just the start, according to the latest report from Automotive News Europe.
Mercedes is reportedly considering spinning off an entire line of crossovers more for use on the road than off it. Which may go without saying for most crossovers on the market, but considering the Geländwagen with which Mercedes got its start in SUVs, would mean an even further departure than it has undertaken already.

2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec gets 33 mpg, priced from $38,950*

Tue, 30 Apr 2013

It's been more than a year since we first saw the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec unveiled at the 2012 New York Auto Show, but it looks like the compact diesel crossover is finally starting to roll into dealerships. Those wanting to buy a diesel GLK will only have to pony up an extra $1,500 over a base, gas-powered GLK350, as the GLK250's starting price is listed at $38,590 (*not including $905 destination charge).
The turbocharged 2.1-liter four-cylinder diesel produces 200 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and Mercedes-Benz has also provided some fuel economy numbers for this model, with claimed EPA estimates of 24 miles per gallon city and 33 mpg highway. There is no listing for the GLK250 on the EPA's website yet, but the figures represent significant increase over the GLK350's lackluster 19 mpg city and 25 mpg highway figures, which are for the rear-wheel drive model. The GLK250 comes standard with the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system - a $2,000 option on GLK350 - meaning that if you want an all-wheel-drive version of the 2013 GLK, it's actually cheaper to opt for the diesel model. Head over to the Mercedes-Benz site for the full 2013 GLK-Class configurator.

Next Mercedes-Benz C-Class to get diesel, hybrid versions

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

Mercedes-Benz is planning a more aggressive product strategy for its next-generation C-Class range. "We were fighting the 3 Series with two arms tied behind our back, and now we will change that," Steve Cannon, the automaker's US CEO, told Automotive News in a recent interview.
In addition to offering more body styles of the new C-Class, AN reports that the revamped Mercedes will also be offered here with hybrid and diesel powertrains. Currently, the C-Class comes in coupe and sedan variants, with only gasoline engines. The BMW 3 Series, however, is available as a sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon, and offers buyers the choice of gasoline, diesel (the upcoming 328d) or hybrid power.
Mercedes-Benz will show the next-generation C-Class at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, with sales of the US-built sedan following in August. Coupe, convertible and hybrid models will follow in early 2015, and while diesel and all-wheel-drive versions are planned, no specific timetable has been released regarding availability.
