A very nice little car with absolutely NO rust or body damage ever! All original paint, interior, and mechanicals, with only 70,887 miles since the day it was born! It has just come out of an extended slumber in my garage and started right up. It needs a good cleaning and some fresh gas, but I don't have the time to put into it any more.
Just before it went into storage, all of the fluids (with synthetic oil), filters, and plugs were changed, and it was put on blocks to keep the almost new tires good. The interior, other than needing detailed, is in remarkable condition. It didn't ever spend much time in the sun so it doesn't have the typical sunburn that these all get. The body is flawless, other than some very light scratches from someone removing and installing the hard-top. The blue canvas soft-top is useable as is with clear plastic windows, and it was just waterproofed before going into storage. The wire wheels have no curb rash or rust issues at all.
Now for the bad -
It idled a little rough when it started, but it smooths out when driving, maybe old gas. The back window on the hard-top is cracked and was that way when I got it, but it's still solid. The exhaust needs work, it has the original exhaust and has a few bad spots. I replaced the climate control module with a newer aluminum one instead of the plastic, but I never got to the amplifier and I think it needs replaced. The previous owner installed a valve to turn off the hot water to the heater core, and that lets the A/C work fine.
I will require a $500 deposit through Paypal within 48 hours, the rest will need to be paid by certified check or cash within 5 days, or when the car is picked up. I will accept Paypal for the entire payment if you agree to pay the fees. Other arrangements can be discussed BEFORE the auction ends. I will accept a personal check, but the car can't leave until it turns into cash in my hand. I will load to ship, or you can drive it away. Storage is available for a short time in my garage, but payment still has to be completed within 5 days.
Please ask lots of questions, come look it over, or schedule a test drive if you would like. I have other vehicles that I will be listing soon, like a 1959 Mercedes 180, so watch for those too! This car is also listed locally, so it is subject to sale outside of Ebay, but I will pull those ads once this gets a bid.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class interior caught in spy shots
Tue, 29 Jan 2013With the redesigned 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class getting closer to production, the camera-wielding crew over at Autospies somehow managed to get inside of the car to snap some detailed spy shots. As the prototypes continue to shed camouflage, it would appear that Mercedes-Benz is getting closer to unveiling the car, and with the Geneva and New York auto shows coming up, it could be sooner rather than later.
From what we can see of this car's interior, the overall look of the S-Class' cabin isn't a ground-breaking departure from the current car, but it has been completely redesigned with more advanced technology. The styling is now even more upscale with larger swaths of wood, more shapely door panels (without the built-in armrest cubbies) and the concept-like two-spoke steering wheel. The highlight of this car though is probably the two massive digital screens with one being used for driver information and the other used for navigation, audio and infotainment systems. One other detail we noticed about this car is that it was equipped with the new 360-degree camera that debuted on the new GL-Class and will also be used on the 2014 E-Class. We also know that the next-gen S-Class will be getting the new cloud-based MBrace2 infotainment system.
As for the exterior design, it looks like the next S-Class will carry a similar profile as the current car, but we can see through the camouflage that the new styling will fit in better with current Mercedes-Benz products. Up front, the grille is much larger is flanked by aggressive LED-trimmed headlights, while the rear view of the car shows us the LED brake light now at the top of the rear window, a more pointed trunk opening and a more squared-off rear fascia with exhaust outlets pushed to the corners.
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.
2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup shows its freshened face
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Mercedes-Benz showed us its redesigned 2014 E-Class more than a month ago, but the Detroit Auto Show finally gave us a chance to see the full family of mid-size luxury cars and wagons in the flesh. Dieter Zetsche introduced the cars, including sedan, coupe, convertible and station wagon, on stage showing the stylish new design direction.
The wagon and sedan versions (shown as the E400 Hybrid above) will go on sale this spring, while the coupe and cabriolet will hit showrooms over the summer. Check our new gallery of live shots for the entire 2014 E-Class lineup, as well as the previously released press release below.
