1985 Mercedes Benz 500 Sel on 2040-cars
York, Pennsylvania, United States
|
I have for sale my prized possession, my 1985 MB 500 SEL. It has 171,000 miles and still runs strong. One benefit is that it uses regular fuel and not premium. They began requiring premium fuel in the late 80's. I still run one tank of premium a month.
Alabaster white paint with a hand pained factory red stripe over lush burgundy leather. I have two front Mercedes sheepskin covers in grey that I will include. Beautiful burl wood trim. No wear on the wood, wood console box or wood shifter at all. No wear on the seats and absolutely NO rips or tears. Complete with mint condition factory mats and newly added clear weather tech mats for the elements. I have a dash cover as well for it. I updated the radio to a Pioneer head unit, kept the original four speaker units and added a sub woofer in the trunk. I am an organist so I like a little rumble. The new head unit is equipped with AM/FM, CD, AUX and Bluetooth. I converted the factory ash tray into a phone charger that any USB phone charger can be hooked up to. 4 new Kuhmo all season tires, 4 new calipers, breaks and rotors all around, and new shocks and new tie rods were installed less than 3,000 miles ago in preparation for this sale. The exhaust has been replaced from the front to the muffler (maybe 5,000 miles ago). Heated power adjusting seats in the front AND rear. Climate control unit blows hot in the winter and cold in the summer. All other switches work well. Power windows and sunroof function properly. Just did an oil change, coolant flush and power steering fluid flush two weeks ago. PA inspected until November 2014. I installed power remote locks in the car as well. Comes with two keys and two fobs. It would be wise to have the injectors replaced to fix a sometimes rough idle. I already have the injectors ($350 value) and they will go with the car. The only other thing that I can see that does not work is the dash clock... This car has been babied since new. I believe I am the second or third owner. It is the recipient of the Mercedes High Mileage Award and has the paperwork and grille badge to go with it. You will receive that information as well as my silly "PANZER" euro plate. My list of positive attributes could go on and on. I am selling because I am 22 and need funds for college and seminary. I love this car but need to part with it for financial reasons. Please make an offer. You must see it to believe it! Call or text @ 717 eight 7 zero - four 5 zero 5. Blessings + |

Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.
European automakers gear up for Brazilian production
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
Mercedes was set to sell version of Nissan Titan, now Infiniti might instead
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Mercedes-Benz Titan. Mercedes-Benz Frontier. Mercedes-Benz pickup truck. None of these things roll off the tongue particularly well. We'd like to think that's the reason Daimler opted to kill the idea of rebadged Titan and Frontier pickups from corporate ally Nissan. In reality, the execution before the Frankfurt Motor Show was due to more complicated issues.
Yes, Mercedes, byword for German luxury, style and quality, would have slapped a three-pointed star on a pair of Japanese pickup trucks that have failed to resonate with consumers in the world's largest truck market. That slapping of badges isn't much of an exaggeration, at least on the outside. According to the report from Road & Track, the truck's front clip would have been tweaked, but beyond that, the sheetmetal would have been unchanged. The interior would have received a more thorough going-over by the team at Mercedes, while the suspension and noise, vibration and harshness tuning would have also received significant attention.
The trucks would have ended up being sold through the light-commercial branch of Mercedes-Benz - the same folks that will happily sell you a Sprinter van - had the deal gone through. Issues arose, though, first with the engines. Mercedes wanted a wider range of powertrains to allow it to tune models for specific markets, while Nissan said it couldn't engineer the wide variety of engines that MB wanted to drop under the hood. For the smaller truck, meanwhile, MB was interested in a hybrid or plug-in variant, according to R&T, although this was also shot down by Nissan.
