Car shows 79928 miles, I've owned the car for 5 years, bought from previous owner that had it since 1992. I do drive the car to shows and on nice days, so mileage may differ. When I purchased the car, it had been sitting for a long time, since, I did a tune up, changed all fluids, new battery, new brake job, replaced the head gasket, replaced the tach sensor. Car runs great. From looking at the car, and it looks good in person as well as pictures, there is a few bubbles under the paint on the boot, a chip on the drivers door, chip on the hood, as well as it appears that there is a portion of the hood separating from the fiberglass bottom. A few spot welds would fix that issue. It also appears that at one time it was hit in the front, by looking at the welds under the front end, but there is no issue on the frame and the car drives straight. Only reason I mention is because I got underneath and want to be honest as much as I can and know. The guy that I bought the car had it painted , etc and lost the data plate and the door VIN tag. I have all the info from Mercedes as for options and the title matches the VIN number stamped on the inner wheel frame. It has an aftermarket radio, the Becker radio is available here on eBay all the time. The headliner is worn and most of the original wood grain has lost it's color, but it's original. One of the release handles for the hard top is half broken off ( you can still remove top), new handle I found here for around $135. May be replacing soon. The VDO clock, doesn't appear to be working, but it could just be the connection. If you wanted to strip and reaping the car, it would be easy because the body is straight and you would end up with a $60000 car. These cars are very collectible and going up in price! I've posted as many pictures as possible and a link to more photos. If you have any questions, I will try to answer as best as I know. Car s as-is, no warranty. Great fun car to drive. Buyer responsible for shipping. Serious buyers please. A $2000 deposit due within 48 hours, remainder due in cash, wire transfer only. Car won't be released till all cash is paid. |

UK workers strand car on island of asphalt to keep working
Wed, 06 Feb 2013Generally speaking, when you illegally park your car, you're likely to get ticketed and towed, but there is probably at least one motorist in Scotland who wishes that was the case. After workers had blocked off a portion of the parking lot for the Edinburgh Waverley railway station, the driver of this Mercedes-Benz S-Class reportedly moved some of the barriers to park in one of the empty spots.
Rather than having the vehicle towed, the work crew simply tore up the asphalt around the leaving just the one parking spot intact, and as you can see in the image above (posted to the Twitter account of Harold Norstad), the crew even built a small asphalt ramp so the car could get off its blacktop pedestal. Since this happened last week, there's no word as to whether the car was eventually moved or towed for the resurfacing work to continue.
Let this be a warning...
2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec gets 33 mpg, priced from $38,950*
Tue, 30 Apr 2013It'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.
AMG-powered Aston Martins still years away
Mon, 16 Sep 2013After flirting for several years, Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin have finally tied the knot. Just don't expect to see any offspring to result from the union for at least three or four years.
This according to Auto Express, which spoke with Daimler chief Dr. Dieter Zetsche at the Frankfurt Motor Show last week. AE reports that a new range of AMG-developed turbocharged V8s, transmissions and electrical components will make their way into the successors to the current V8 Vantage and DB9, but that these models are still a few years off.
Purists might balk at the thought of a Mercedes-powered Aston holding true to the brand's heritage. But while David Brown (for whom the DB range is named) may have steered clear of shoehorning in Detroit muscle into his cars, the entirety of the company's current range is powered by engines borrowing technology from Ford, and that arrangement seems to have worked well for Aston until now. And if you're still skeptical, look no further than Pagani and its AMG-sourced engines and you should have all the proof you need that the new relationship between Daimler and Aston could be a success.
