Here is an early 230SL equipped with the much-improved 2.8 motor that came later in the 280SL cars. The motors look the same under the hood, but the 2.8 (marked as such on the block) is a much sturdier and desirable motor with 7 (not 5) main bearings and more power. The prior owner restored the car over the last 10 years and removed the side mouldings that come on all the W113 Pagoda cars. It gives the car a much cleaner, modern look, especially with the custom 16 inch Aluminum alloy rims and new 205/55 R16 Falken ZIEX tires. (No, they do not rub anywhere.) The pearl white paint job on the rust-free body is complimented by correct German square weave wool 2-tone carpet laid over insulated floors. The gaps around the doors, hood and trunk are uniform and true. Original wood interior trim is complete and in nice shape. Nice original ashtray. This is a true Euro version with no ugly side marker lights, headrests or bumper guards. It has US headlight assemblies. The speedometer is in kilometers and the other gauges are European as well. A high quality, powerful Alpine CD stereo and working electric antenna have been added, along with a pair of 6 by 9 Alpine speakers neatly tucked in the kick panels as shown. Seats and interior have been redone in parchment MB tex and are in mint condition, but the seat back adjusters do not work well, and the passenger side knob is missing. Tan top is brand new German Sonnendeck with the herringbone pattern underneath. I have been driving the car for several months and have added these new parts: complete tune up, new fan belt, new brake cylinders and hoses, new rear brake shoes, new oil and filter, new antifreeze, flush and refill brake system, new battery, new trunk seal, OEM windshield weatherstriping, new windshield and misc. other weatherstriping. This car is a pleasure to drive. It holds good oil pressure and has never overheated once this summer. It starts very easily, does not miss or sputter, no smoking or knocking, takes bumps and potholes with ease, smooth ride, smooth shifting of automatic transmission, all gauges work, windows roll up and down, top latches fine front and back, all exterior lights work, heat and air levers work, wipers and squirter work. The original clock is there but not operating. No rust in the storage compartments under the rear carpeted wood panels and no rust in the top well. The trunk is rust free. The factory hard top is included, but it needs a little work in order to be as nice as the car is. The odometer says 86,125 kilometers. I assume it must be 186,125, but the title I got said it was actual miles. [186,125 kilometers is 115,653 miles.] The car is located in Charleston, West Virginia. If you want to fly in to see the car, I will drive this car to the airport and pick you up. The car is offered for sale locally, so this auction is subject to ending abruptly. High bidder to pay the $500 deposit within 24 hours of the end of the sale. Balance in cash or wire transfer prior to taking possession.

2015 Mercedes C-Class order guide leaked
Wed, 23 Apr 2014We may not have an official starting price for the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but as of right now, we can tell you about all the options for the eagerly anticipated new luxury sedan.
Benz Report has the entire order guide for the C-Class, with breakdowns from package pricing to how many different colors, wheel designs and lighting configurations will be available when the new model hits dealers later this year. As we mentioned in our initial review of the C-Class, there will be a pair of engine options, with the now familiar 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder available in both rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations and a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6, which can be had in all-wheel drive, only.
From there, though, the available options are impressive. Much like it does on the current car, Mercedes is offering a pair of packages that sort of define the entire car. With the C300, buyers will have the choice of either a Sport or Luxury package in addition to the base trim, while C400 buyers are limited to the Sport model.
Mercedes considering GLA-based crossover coupe
Wed, 30 Apr 2014BMW 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.
Maybach lost upwards of $500k on each vehicle sold
Wed, 08 Feb 2012Daimler 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.
