Ellijay, Georgia, United States

1985 Mercedes 280SL 5 Speed.  Less than 92,000 Miles.

This is  the European high output double overhead cam 2.8 liter SL.  Has more horsepower than the 3.8 V eight in a lighter, better handling package.  Wider wheels and ground effects.

It is very entertaining to drive in the mountains.  Gets 23 to 25 mpg on ethanol free premium fuel. 
This is not like the big, heavy cruisers.  The 280's are high revving and more agile due to the better weight distribution.

Pros: Mechanically sound, less than 92k miles.All gauges work, including the clock. Does not leak any fluids. Exceptional handling. Excellent fuel economy for SL.  Very rare. Dash has no cracks.  NO RUST.  Both tops.  Interesting chapter in this vehicles early history - Car was manufactured in Germany and was exported to Bogota Colombia in 1985.  Shipped to Texas a few months later.  ??? Documentation included. Has been in Texas until I Bought it in 2008. Has original tool kit and unopened first aid kit. Also have set of U.S. Spec lights if you don't like the European look.

Cons:  Almost 30 years old, some items do show wear.  Chrome on some wheels flaking,  Drivers seat has rip. Paint is good but does have age that shows on close inspection, it does not show up well in the pictures.  Two small tears in top.

If you would like to know why these are considered a "Drivers Car" and learn more about the 280sl and bulletproof M110 engine, please follow this link:

2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA order guide leaked

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The dealer order guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA has made its way online courtesy of the crew at CLAForums.com, and not only does it shed light on the ways buyers will be able to configure the entry-level sedan, it talks specific option pricing. Shoppers will be able to select between the CLA250 and CLA250 4Matic, and the option sheet should offer a number of packages to suit buyer tastes, including a sport package with tweaked fascias and unique wheels. Bi-xenon headlamps and 18-inch alloys may also be had as well as a panoramic sunroof and a collision avoidance system. The CLA will be available with a number of active safety systems on board, including lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, park assist and blind spot assist, to name a few.
The new sedan comes in 10 colors, including a very dashing purple Mecedes-Benz calls Northern Lights Violet, and there are a total of four interior trim finishes. The automaker hasn't released final pricing of all models just as of yet - we do know from Mercedes' Kate Upton Super Bowl ad that the car will start at $29,900 - but you can check out individual option and package pricing in the gallery. You can also find more information over at CLAForums.com.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid for fat cats frugal with fuel

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

Judging by how long we waited to get a clear shot of the Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid, you'd have thought hybrid cars were only driven by Terminators and that the technology arrived only 48 hours ago through a wormhole in the Mercedes stand. The newest member of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class hybrid band - joining the S400 Hybrid and S350 BlueTEC Hybrid, it hits notes like a 5.5-second sprint from standstill to 62 miles per hour, up to 19 miles of ion-powered running and uses three liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers in Europe (78.41 mpg US, but our mpg test cycle is different than their mpg test cycle).
The lump up front is a turbocharged, 3.0-liter V6, the lump in back - note the reduction in trunk space - is a pack of lithium-ion batteries that juice an 80-kilowatt electric motor. Other than having four drive options for controlling electric drive and battery usage, it's all S-Class all the time, with leather-covered everything and those mountainous thrones that bring to mind words like "Archduke" and "Papal."
You'll find our hard-earned gallery from the Frankfurt Motor Show floor above, and more words of information in the press release below.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup shows its freshened face

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Mercedes-Benz showed us its redesigned 2014 E-Class more than a month ago, but the Detroit Auto Show finally gave us a chance to see the full family of mid-size luxury cars and wagons in the flesh. Dieter Zetsche introduced the cars, including sedan, coupe, convertible and station wagon, on stage showing the stylish new design direction.
The wagon and sedan versions (shown as the E400 Hybrid above) will go on sale this spring, while the coupe and cabriolet will hit showrooms over the summer. Check our new gallery of live shots for the entire 2014 E-Class lineup, as well as the previously released press release below.
