1979 Mercedes 450SL in excellent condition. Low, Low original miles. Only 44,000 miles. Next to last year for the 4.5 Liter V8. Lots of power.  Brilliant Silver exterior with black MB tex interior. New convertible top. A very, very nice car.

 

I'm selling this car for a friend of mine who bought it from the daughter of the original owner. My friend is a stone mason who did work on their estate here in Connecticut. He saw the car and had to have it. With two young daughters who want to both ride with him in it, this is not the car to own. It only causes tension with the kids. My friend does not use the computer so he asked me to list the car for him.

 

The car was purchased new in San Francisco, CA from European Motors LTD, 5/31/1979. In 1995 the car was transported to Connecticut, registered and titled here with 24,000 miles on it. 19 years later it has only 44,000 miles. Clear Connecticut title is in hand ready for sale.

 

Runs and drives excellent. Just had a lot of maintainance done by Mercedes. You can see the replaced coolant tank, brake reservior, etc in the engine photo. Interior is like new, no rips or tears. Original radio still in dash. Convertible top is new. Exterior is very nice. One scratch on left front fender see in photo. Rub on left rear fender.  Look at photo, I think most will buff out. Small blister on right front fender. Solid, Quality car.  A really, really nice car. Selling with no reserve. Selling as is. Please ask questions, please look at it prior to bidding. Nice SL great driving and a car you can be proud of. This car will only go up in value. My friend doesn't have the space to keep it. Any questions please call me. 203-648-6818 Car is located in New Milford, CT 06776. Call me if you want to see it. Good luck to everyone and thank you. Dave

2014 Mercedes S-Class priced lower from $92,900*

Mon, 09 Sep 2013

The massively overhauled 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class will start at $92,900, not including a $925 destination fee, when it arrives at US dealers in October. That's a 2.8-percent drop over the 2013 S-Class, although Mercedes is fast to point out that a drop in price doesn't equate with a drop in equipment for the executive sedan.
Besides an extra 20 horsepower from the 4.6-liter, biturbocharged V8, the S550 sports a standard panoramic sunroof, keyless start, a rear-view camera and LED headlights, taillights and interior lights. Adding the German manufacturer's 4Matic all-wheel-drive system bumps the S550's price up to $95,900.
If the S550 doesn't quite cut the mustard, you can wait until November, at which point Mercedes will quite happily sell you the new S63 AMG 4Matic for $139,500. Power is also up on the S63, from a max of 563 ponies with an AMG Performance Package to 577 horsepower as standard on the 2014 model.

Mercedes-Benz intros long-wheelbase E-Class for China

Thu, 25 Apr 2013

Long-wheelbase sedans are a pretty hot commodity in China, and to keep up with the competition, Mercedes-Benz has introduced an extended version of the 2014 E-Class sedan at the Shanghai Motor Show. Audi, BMW, Volvo and even Cadillac offer extended versions of sedans specific to the Chinese market, and now the E-Class L, shown off in E400L guise, will give luxury sedan buyers in China yet another option.
Compared to the standard 2014 E-Class sedan, the new China-spec E-Class L has been stretched by 5.5 inches - all of which goes to the rear-seat passengers. According to an article on China View from earlier in the year, the market for chauffeur-driven cars is growing in the Asian nation, so automakers need long-wheelbase models like the E-Class L in order to fully compete. As for what powers this stretched E-Class, it's available in three models: the diesel E260L, the V6-powered E300L and the E400 Hybrid.
The redesigned E-Class and the all-new A-Class are just the first of 20 new Mercedes-Benz products that will be introduced into the Chinese auto market by 2015. Scroll down for the full press release on long-wheelbase E.

Maybach and Aston Martin alliance talks fall apart

Tue, 27 Sep 2011

If you have, like us, been salivating at the notion of a new generation of Maybach and Lagonda ultra-luxury crafts built by Aston Martin, we've got some bad news: According to reports emanating from Germany, talks between AML and Daimler have broken down.
The proposal under negotiation would have seen Daimler outsourcing production of the next family of Maybach models to Aston Martin, which in return would benefit from Mercedes-Benz platforms and engines - not only for its svelte GTs, but also for its own future Lagonda line of limousines and luxury SUVs. That, and a boatload of money - or at least that's what AML was reportedly seeking, an issue that served as the stumbling block over which the deal reportedly collapsed.
That's not to say the two parties couldn't still reach some sort of a compromise, but short of that, Daimler may opt to either shut down Maybach altogether, find another partner, or take another stab at building new models internally.
