Drive car anywhere! True gem and cream puff!
HISTORY: You are bidding on a 1984 Mercedes-Benz 380SL. This car was purchased new by Dennis Hargett of Evansville, IN in 1984 at a cost of almost $46,000. He owned the car for 16 years and put 46K miles on it during that time. In 2001 the car was purchased by Tom Dinn of West Frankfort, IL at a cost of $18,000. Tom owned the car for 12 years and had to sell in this year when he was no longer physically able to enjoy the car. I purchased the car in May of 2013 from Tom with just over 59K on it. I had intentions of flipping as soon as I purchased but kept it for 6 weeks to enjoys this classic!
CONDITION: This car is about as nice as you can find in original condition. The only non original item is an aftermarket stereo. The car has very deep shining paint that is in overall great condition. Minor scuffs from hardtop and rock chips but nothing out of the ordinary for a 29 year old car. The interior is near flawless. No fading or cracking of interior. The car has been garage kept its entire life and it shows. The car has a factory hardtop and softop both look like the day they came off the showroom. This car requires nothing to enjoy on weekend cruises or enter into your local show.
MECHANICALLY: Tom told me when I bough the car I could drive it to California and back! Well I tested that as I drove it 300+ miles home from his house. The car drives flawlessly. I have a 2009 Mercedes and they drive equally as good. I did some minor tune-up items since I was going to enjoy the car a while. This included oil change, topped and checked all fluids, spark plugs, plug wires, rotor button and a new spare tire. The car has Good-Years all around with 85% tread life remaining. REMEMBER....this is a 1984 model and that means double row timing chain... that is a huge expense on pre 1984 models! I let my wife drive this car with her girlfriends and feel secure everytime she pulls out the driveway.
FEATURES: Everything works on this car except the power attena. It has power windows, locks, AC/Heat/Defrost, power mirrors, AM/FM/CD (aftermarket) and automatic transmission. I have many service records, carfax, clear title showing actual miles and many receipts.
VALUE: This is a NO RESERVE auction so you are going to set the value. I can tell you the current NADA values range from $16,500 for Low and $34,500 for high. I think this car is worth something in that range, but you are setting the price here so GOOD LUCK. See link below to get to NADA report.

Mercedes-Benz intros long-wheelbase E-Class for China
Thu, 25 Apr 2013Long-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.
Mercedes-AMG GT attacks Circuit of the Americas
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Mercedes-Benz is having a banner year with its Formula One team. Through 2014, the constructor has 454 championship points; ahead of its nearest competitor (Red Bull-Renault) by a margin of 182 tally marks. We're sure they can almost taste the champagne.
It's fitting then, and a little big cocky in a good way, that Mercedes has released a video of its newest sports car at an F1 venue. In this case, the car is the lovely Mercedes-AMG GT S, and the racetrack is Austin's Circuit of the Americas.
Having seen the official photo set and scratched the surface of the technical specifications earlier this week, we're excited to finally hear the thing run. As you might guess, the deployment of 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque from the twin-turbo V8 is a motivating experience. Crank up your volume, and hit that play button. (Oh, and Mercedes shot the thing in 4K, too, so those of you with expensive televisions/monitors should take heed to the settings.)
Missouri Mercedes dealer offering free Smart with every SLS AMG purchase
Wed, 05 Dec 2012The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT is an exquisite sports car that probably needs no help flying off dealer lots, even with a starting price of almost $200,000, but Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City has come up with an interesting incentive to sweeten the deal. For buyers who purchase a new SLS AMG from dealer stock before the end of the year, the dealership is throwing in a new Smart Fortwo from its inventory at no charge... with a required coupon no less.
In addition to being a great tactic to get a little free press, the spare car also makes sense as an alternative to the SLS, which measures more than 15-feet long - almost twice the length of a Fortwo - and has a 563-horsepower engine that sucks down gas at the rate of 13 miles per gallon in city driving (and even that's provided you don't give in to the devil on your shoulder). Plus, at the end of the day, this really isn't that big of an incentive. Being given a slow-selling $12,490 car for the purchase of a model starting at $199,500 represents about a six percent incentive, which is along the lines of a $1,900 rebate for a $30,000 car.
To get the free Smart, just visit the Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City Facebook page, redeem the coupon and then go buy yourself a new SLS AMG. Congratulations!
