I am the third owner of this great road car. It was purchased new in Hawaii and container shipped to the US to a family member upon her death about 7 years ago. I bought it from them and have only driven it about 100 miles since I acquired it about a year ago. Cam chains were upgraded at about 40K. No receipts, but I have pix. All parts used were original MB. Car is in great overall condition and runs and drives great for a 30 year old car. I have replaced the battery, fuel pump, had to hood professionally repainted, and replaced the under hood rubber pads, fixed a lot of minor issues and serviced and detailed the whole car since I bought it. It has always been stored inside. No oil or fluid leaks at this time. Tires were new at 42K. Brakes were redone, a few years back. The original radio was replaced with a newer unit, but I have the original. Original hard top is in great shape. It comes with a convenient roll around cart for storage. AC works great, cruise control, power windows, locks, interior and exterior lights work as should, rear defroster works on hardtop. Soft top is in great original condition with great rubber seals. Rear plastic glass is only slightly foggy around edges. Tool kit is there and complete, but original Mercedes top tool is missing as is original owner manual. We are still searching for it. I bought 2 reproduction tools to get by. The car will need a new warm-up regulator at some point. Its more of a minor annoyance at this point. Car runs fine after a couple of minutes. The temp gauge quit working, and the rheostat on the instrument lights is bad. I am still working on these two issues. I also has a small exhaust leak at the muffler, not a hole. Hope to get this taken care of this week. The only other issue I have to report is a clatter in the steering wheel, which as it turns out, is a common problem with the steering shaft coupler. not an expensive fix. I am searching for a small vacuum leak in the engine this week too. Paint is good for a driven car this age, no dents, no rust, rockers solid. Dents removed except for one tiny above the headlight bezel. Someone ran a key down the sides of the car at some point, but it is only in the clear coat and is hard to see. That's about all I can think of. Car is a blast to drive and is in incredible shape for its age. A top rated favorite by Road and Track magazine. You may contact me for any further questions. I welcome any third party inspections done by professionals.

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
Maybach officially discontinues all models for 2013
Tue, 14 Aug 2012The word "Maybach" has joined the long list of synonyms for the word "kaput." Mercedes-Benz released the price list for the 2013 models of its super-luxury sedans, with the price column simply stating "Discontinued" for each one of them.
The 2012 models, should there be any left for 11th-hour buyers, maintain the increased MSRPs that Daimler slapped on them late last year after it was known the brand would be terminated next year. But you might still be able to wrangle that $100,000 rebate if you ask nicely, or in Russian, or have Rick Ross ask for you.
It shouldn't be too long before we see the ultimate version of the next generation S-Class, the S600 Pullman, that will replace Maybach. Intriguingly, it's said the Pullman will be offered with every S-Class engine, even the four-cylinder diesel.
2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class revealed again in 1:18 scale
Fri, 10 May 2013There is plenty to look forward to when it comes to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but it could end up being a fairly anticlimactic reveal thanks to fully exposed spy shots, a leaked press photo and now images of a diecast version of the luxury sedan. Autoweek.nl has images showing a highly detailed 1:18 scale model of the redesigned S-Class that matches up with everything we've seen so far.
This isn't the first time a model car spoiled a new vehicle's reveal, as the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and 2013 SRT Viper were both unceremoniously revealed in toy form first. World Car Fans is reporting that the car 2014 S-Class will be officially unveiled on May 15, but at this point, all that's left to wonder about is the official on-sale date and what will be under the hood.
