Here you go Mercedes lovers, a 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC. This SEC is in great condition for a 28 year old car. It's currently a running, driving, registered car which just passed the VA State Inspection last month. The VA State Inspection is good until July 2014. All windows work as they should, including the sun roof. All signals, horn, work as well. The AC blows, but isn't cool, so assume it may need charging. All gauges in the dash appear to work correctly, with the exception of the clock. All seats are in great shape, with no tears or rips. Carpet cleans up, but could use a good shampooing. Headliner is also in place, but needs cleaning. The windows have a dated tint applied, which is showing it's age, and would recommend just removing it. The radio appears to work, and the antenna goes up and down as it should, but can't figure it out why I'm not getting any sound. Have all the original Kenwood manuals as well as the original Mercedes-Benz owners manual to review. Could be me, as I don't even use my radio! :) Also has a 6 CD changer in the trunk. It has a full size spare with an original Mercedes wheel in the trunk. All tires are good, and the custom wheels were painted to match the paint. They really look nice. The car appears to have had one repaint, which matches the original color. I've taken pictures of the paint chip in the upper passenger fender, and some minor fiberglass cracking in the rear passenger bumper. The lower front spoiler has had a minor fiberglass repair as well, because these things get beat up. The big V8 engine starts right up and motors down the road. Does sound like it has a small exhaust leak, that goes away when the exhaust gets warm, easy fix. Transmission shifts as it should, and all brakes slow this big car down. I've drove it, and it scutes down the road. Highway driving is a blast. Of course with any car of this vintage, a few weekends of minor TLC would make this thing perfect. Don't pass up a chance to own a very expensive car in its time. Good Luck!
*Please note; the original VIN for this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC is WDB1260441A135861. It is the VIN on the driver's door jamb tag and engine compartment tag. For some reason when listing, ebay cold not recognize this VIN, so entered one for another MB 560 SEC I'm listing. A neighbor who is a MB fanatic, states the reason could be this is a European model, but not 100% sure. I'm sure someone out there knows. Again, VIN for this 85 MB is WDB1260441A135861, as noted on both VIN tags. Sorry for any confusion. Good Luck!

Paul di Resta returns to DTM with Mercedes
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Some drivers manage to make the transition from one form of motor racing into another, and some run into trouble. Take Paul di Resta, for example. The promising young Scottish driver dominated Formula 3 racing in Europe in 2006, then moved over to Germany's hugely competitive DTM touring car series where he finished second in 2008, third in 2009 and first in 2010. But things didn't go as smoothly for Paul - cousin to retired Indy champion Dario Franchitti - when he moved in to Formula One with the Force India team.
In three years on the grid, he failed to score a single podium finish. Little surprise, then, that Force India opted not to renew his contract for this season. Left without a ride, di Resta is now going back to DTM with longtime supporter Mercedes-Benz, testing the new C-Class touring car today in Portugal. It's good news for Mercedes, which is celebrating 120 years in motor racing this season and, with 2005 champion Gary Paffett also on board, can now count two former champions on its DTM roster.
We wouldn't count Paul out of F1 for good, though. When he won the DTM title four years ago, he was also moonlighting as Force India's test driver, and we wouldn't be surprised to see him pull similar double-duty with the Mercedes F1 team (or another Benz-powered outfit) this year before spring-boarding back into grand prix racing in the future. At 27 years old, he may not have been the youngest driver on the grid this year, but he's still got a good few years ahead of him.
Mercedes Concept GLA45 AMG is ready to run
Wed, 20 Nov 2013This is the Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA45 AMG, and what we mean by that is, "This is the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG." Mercedes has just unveiled the liveried 'concept' at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, giving potential customers a very good look at the newest lunatic in the AMG asylum - a 355-horsepower, 332-pound-foot crossover that uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in the CLA45 AMG and Europe's A45 AMG.
Joined with a seven-speed, AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission and an AMG Performance 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, Mercedes promises a sub-five-second run to 60 miles per hour. That's not just quick for a crossover, that's quick full stop.
That sleek, lifted body has also been tweaked by the minds at AMG's Affalterbach facility. A new rear spoiler, side sills and front clip are the primary aerodynamic tweaks. Aesthetically, AMG has fitted the requisite "Turbo" badges, gloss-black accents (including exhaust tips and roof rails) and a set of 21-inch, AMG-spec alloy wheels to round out the overall package. Based on the spy shots we've seen, expect slightly toned down aerodynamics when the GLA45 AMG arrives in showrooms.
Mercedes testing C-Class plug-in hybrid modes in Germany
Wed, 07 May 2014Testing appears to be underway for what would be the first Mercedes-Benz C-Class with a hybrid powertrain. We can see a pair of the prototypes undergoing testing in Germany, with one, a C-Class Wagon, still heavily clad in camouflage and featuring a more noticeable outlet on the passenger side of its rear bumper.
There's also a more production-looking sedan, which features a not-so-discreet flap over its rear-bumper outlet. It's difficult to speculate on power outputs for this fuel-sipping C-Class, although our spies seem to think that this car will feature some combination of a four-cylinder gas engine with an electric motor, although just which four is unclear (note, we wouldn't mind if MB fit its 2.0-liter turbo with some batteries and motors). Regardless, the four-pot/electric motor seems like a pretty reasonable combo, although it probably means that Mercedes won't be challenging the six-cylinder-powered system of the BMW ActiveHybrid3 any time soon.
When the plug-in C-Class arrives later this year as a 2015 model, it will likely offer a full range of driving modes, including both gas or electric, only, as well as a more traditional hybrid mode.
