I just put an offer on a house and we must sell our beloved weekend cruiser. We inherited the car a couple of years back and we love the attention we get when driving it. Its a 1980 Mercedes Benz 300SD Turbo diesel with 157,725 Original miles since new in Excellent Condition. Finished in Manilla Beige (681) on Tobacco MBTEX. Its always been a California car and always garaged. It has NO RUST. The paint shines beautifully and the interior is in near pristine condition ( 1 small tear on the drive seat backrest). The spare tire and jack are included as well as the manuals. This car drives perfectly and it starts immediately, has excellent power and shifts smooth, timely and proper. The suspension is controlled and supple. The front and rear seats are firm and supportive. All options work as intended (Except air ) including all windows. There are no cracks on the dash or anywhere. The headliner looks like brand new. A few minor blemishes on the exterior but the original paint shines nicely and the chrome trim is in great shape. It has never been in an accident. Tires are in good shape. The Radio is temperamental but the speakers work well. The bottom part of the font bumper needs replacing. As with any used car, there are some minor flaws here and there. I serviced the car regularly and I just did the brakes. I would trust this car on a cross country drive. The left lower light lense is broken and a the little runner part on the front bumper has a crack (check pics). but over all the car is a very strong 8/10. Inspections are welcome, car is in Santa Monica Ca. One of these cars recently sold for $20,000 on ebay.

Mercedes to market Tesla-powered 2014 B-Class EV in U.S.

Thu, 05 Jul 2012

Looks like another Tesla Motors investor will be looking to cash in on their connection. Autoweek reports Mercedes-Benz will offer their B-Class in the U.S. with Tesla propulsion.
The magazine says their source at the German automaker confirms plans for a B-Class electric-only vehicle. While Tesla already provides battery packs for the battery-powered Smart ForTwo, the B-Class EV will reportedly have Tesla batteries, motor and other components. U.S. residents should be able to procure one sometime in 2014.
The same Mercedes source says plans for a hybrid B-Class have been postponed for now. Adding a range-extending, gasoline-powered engine to an electric vehicle would put the car into a different class for which rebates and incentives aren't as favorable in the States.

Mercedes-Benz releases stunning first images of 2014 S-Class

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

The all-new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, designated W222, is one of the most highly anticipated debuts of its model year. Every generation of the flagship sedan has broken new ground in technology and innovation for the entire industry, and the German automaker appears determined to raise the bar much further with its latest arrival as it promises to deliver "the best automobile in the world." Mercedes-Benz has just released nearly two dozen interior images of the new sedan, showing off style in design, craftsmanship in execution and pioneering advancements in technology.
Unlike all previous generations - the first S-Class officially arrived in 1972 - the 2014 model completely discards a traditional instrument cluster and replaces it with two high-resolution color displays in 8:3 format with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches (the outgoing model's gauges were a mix of digital and analog). The left unit displays traditional analog gauges (digitally, of course) while the right unit is reserved for infotainment and comfort settings with the automaker's all-new mBrace2 - a cloud-based entertainment and information delivery system that is rolling out this year.

Rare Isdera Imperator 108i flexes its considerable muscles

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

The Isdera Imperator 108i is a remarkably rare supercar from the late 80s and early 90s. Born of a Mercedes-Benz concept car, it's powered by a range of AMG-developed V8s, with five to six liters of displacement, depending on the engine. The example shown here, lapping the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit, features the most potent 6.0-liter V8 available. And rather than just being driven about on a perfectly clean racing line, it's freaking power sliding!
Yes, there's something eternally childlike about a wedge-shaped supercar from our formative years being flung about a Belgian racetrack. Adding to the appeal is the Imperator's stumpy, periscopic rear mirror, sticking out of the roof. Even after being out of production for 20 years, this is still a wild, wild car and we'd happily snap up the opportunity pilot one of the 36 Isderas that were built. Take a look below for the full video from Spa.
