This car is a classic Mercedes Benz 500sel in great condition. It has just under 76,000 miles and these cars are legendary for lasting over a half million miles on the same drivetrain. The car comes with all original parts besides the factory radio was updated with a premium Pioneer unit. The front dashboard speakers were also replaced with premium Pioneer 5"x7" speakers. The audio is clear and pleasing. The engine in this car is a 5.0 liter(303 cubic inches) naturally asperated v8, and the transmission is a center-shift four speed automatic. This car has the smoothest ride you could ask for with plenty of power to get you where you want to go. I am also including a second set of tripple chrome plated 18" Mercedes Benz AMG rims with new Lexani extra load street tires. The interior is in good condition with clean carpet and new custom floor mats. The leater is in good condition with a one wear mark on the front driver seat from the seatbelt, but nothing that is soar on the eyes. The dashboard did have some cracking and pealing that I fixed with 3m interior dashboard glue. the cracks are still visible, but its all there and tough to notice. All seats in the car have heat, and the rear seat in the car reclines. The chrome on this car is all in great condition with little to no wear. The car is used and does have around 24 total micro surface scratches and dings that will not show up on the pictures and are hard to notice unless you look up close. I took the car to a body shop and they estimated the total cost to restore the exterior to brand new would be between $1,000 & $1,500. The sun roof on this car is the largest one I have ever seen. Included as extra is a car cover, the original floor mats, some extra fan belts, an extra rear door trim replacement, and the 18" AMG chrome rims with tires. Thanks for looking.

Mercedes rules out hybrid supercar, promises SLS successor
Sat, 16 Mar 2013The recent Geneva Motor Show was a festival of hypercars, with the presence of not one, but three over-the-top debuts: the Lamborghini Veneno, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LeFerrari. The latter two have hitched their carbon fiber bumpers to the electrification bandwagon by using hybrid-electric powertrains not entirely unlike the propulsion systems we've come to know in cars like the Toyota Prius and Chevrolet Volt. Does that mean the flow of electrons up the four-wheeled food chain will eventually consume our hallowed supercars? Not if AMG has anything to say about it.
AMG Director of Vehicle Development Tobias Moers recently confirmed that not only will there be a successor to the Mercedes-Benz performance division's SLS AMG, he notes that its internal combustion engine will most definitely not be sharing living quarters with an electric drivetrain. Instead, AMG plans to focus on further pushing the power and efficiency envelope of the internal combustion engine and advancing the use of lightweight materials to achieve their goals. The first example of this effort can be seen in the new SLS AMG Black Series that incorporates many weight-saving techniques to shed some 154 pounds from the SLS AMG GT (above), which itself is lighter than the standard SLS AMG.
Furthermore, Moers remarks that his company is happy to leave the hypercar segment to companies like Ferrari and McLaren. He admits that, "Ferrari in the hyper-car segment is still a different brand than AMG. We have to be honest..." So rather than taking the SLS further upmarket to do battle with bulls and stallions, Moers hinted that the next-generation SLS may be joined by another performance model that fits neatly between itself and the C63 AMG.
Chris Harris and David Coulthard wring out a Mercedes Fintail at the N"urburgring
Thu, 17 Oct 2013If there's one thing we've learned from the latest video from Drive, it's that the combination of Chris Harris and David Coulthard will produce some very quotable moments. Take this exchange, for example.
DC: "We are by some way the slowest."
CH: "But we're in a class of three cars, apparently."
Rare Isdera Imperator 108i flexes its considerable muscles
Mon, 05 Aug 2013The 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.
