1988 Mercedes Benz G280 on 2040-cars
Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States
|
1988 Mercedes Benz 280G. This is an immaculate example that looks nearly new, the 54k miles are reported as original. We had this out on the road for a few weeks, its wonderful to drive and really turns heads. This is one of a handful if not the only G wagon in the states with right hand drive, you never have to worry about pulling up to a stop light and seeing another one. The M110 model twin cam straight six is one of the best motors that Mercedes every built and is renowned for its bullet proof reliability. With 156hp you will not win any drag races but it cruises comfortably at 70MPH on the highway and is an absolute blast around town. We have had several Land Rover Defenders of similar vintage and the superior build quality and drivability with the Mercedes is shocking. Unlike many other importers all of all of our vehicles are already stateside and passed through DOT and EPA. Why take a chance buying from one of the other guys who make you wait for trans Atlantic shipping and leave you holding the bag when a problem pops up with customs. We have worked with several customers who have had this happen only to see the vehicle they just spent a significant amount of money on crushed. This vehicle has been imported in complete compliance with EPA and DOT regs, all of the import certifications are included with the sale along with the British title. A local viewing and inspections is welcome and encouraged with appointment. We are happy to help with shipping and freight logistics.

Mercedes widens luxury sales gap on strong early CLA demand
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Mercedes-Benz CLA sales have been booming, with the Stuttgart-based manufacturer moving 2,300 of the sleek four-doors in its first week on sale. That is astonishing. Mercedes moved nearly twice as many CLAs (which start at $29,900) in one week than Jaguar, a brand that is on a very solid roll, sold in all of September. Ignoring the price differences between the Jag line and the CLA, that is still wildly impressive.
Mercedes has been pushing the CLA in television ads, using a shortened version of its Super Bowl spot, which starred William Dafoe, Usher and Kate Upton. "As the bargain entrance into the Mercedes portfolio, we weren't sure how luxury buyers would react," Kelly Blue Book auto analyst Alec Gutierrez told Bloomberg.
The CLA push was just part of MB's 6.7-percent increase in September sales, which were also helped along by a 17-percent jump in E-Class sales. That surge has allowed Mercedes to widen its 2013 sales lead over its rival, BMW, to 2,491 cars, according to Bloomberg. If CLA sales continue at this rate, we can only expect that margin to grow.
Carlsson turns Mercedes-Benz SLK into 610-HP hill-climb clawer
Mon, 28 Jan 2013Carlsson's race-tuned versions of the Mercedes-Benz SLK have been taking checkered flags for years, and we won't be surprised if its SLK 340 hill climber fares any different. Developed by multiple German and Swiss hill climb champion Reto Meisel, the carbon-bodied SLK 340 with lightweight brakes and a closed underbody weighs 1,716 pounds. Propelling that tiny bit of weight is a 3.4-liter V8 from Judd with 610 horsepower, and it rolls on 18-inch wheels shod in Avon tires.
It will debut at the Geneva Motor Show before beginning its racing campaigns in the summer. This one won't just tear up roads in Europe, though - Meisel says he plans on bringing it to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The press release below has more details.
Mercedes S-Class Magic Body Control ad is clucking awesome
Tue, 24 Sep 2013This is a new ad from Mercedes-Benz. At no point does it show an automobile. Instead, it stars animals, but not the sort you might normally see in car commercial. This ad is all about chickens. It is bizarre, to say the least, with Diana Ross and the Supremes belting it out in the background, but it all kind of comes together when you realize just what Mercedes is hawking (yeah, pun intended).
It's for the manufacturer's Magic Body Control, found on the new S-Class. The system basically analyzes the road and prepares the suspension accordingly, leading to a ride that is, in the words of our own Chris Paukert "nothing short of spooky." You can read about it in our full review of the 2014 S550. Take a look below for the 53-second spot.
