1982 MERCEDES 380SL CONVERTIBLE Relisted This Was the car to have in the 70's and 80's and they are still cool to look at and fun to drive I bought this car at the spring Carlisle auction about five years ago as my first Mercedes and first convertible. I drove it from April to October up until last year when I started working every weekend. The car sat all last year so its time to let it go to someone who can enjoy it. The engine runs well and the car drives very nice. I am sure it could use a good going over after sitting for over a year, but I did start the engine regularly and it always fired right up. The red paint is deep and glossy. You can find several dings in the horizontal surfaces if you know where to look. I got a price of $400 from the paintless repair guy to take them out but never got around to getting it done. There are two nicks in the windshield way over on the passenger side corner, completely out of view. Since owning the car the radiator and exhaust have been replaced as well as regular oil changes and service. The millage is low at just over 100K for this year car and the odometer is still working. The interior is almost perfect with only a tiny crack in the dash. The common broken seat frame has been repaired. The tires are like new and the wheels are in great shape. The soft top is excellent and I have the matching hard top I will install prior to shipping. The car is stored in Medford Long Island NY and is available to view and drive. Please only bid on the car if you intend to complete the transaction, I have lost my storage space and must move this and several other vehicles. I require a $500 deposit within 48 hours of auction close. |

Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG
Thu, 25 Jul 2013A little over two months ago came reports that Daimler and Aston Martin were in talks, again, about "supply and technical-cooperation agreements." The next step has been taken with Aston Martin announcing that it has signed a Letter of Intent that looks "towards a technical partnership" with Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and the two companies aiming to have definitive agreements done by year's end.
While it will get to use certain electric and electronic components from AMG, the true golden egg for the maker of the Vanquish will be the ability to develop a new line of "bespoke V8 powertrains" that will be fitted to "a new generation of models." In return for opening up the larder, Daimler will get a non-voting stake of up to five percent of Aston Martin.
Nothing else is being said about the tie-up for the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more details.
VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.

Mon, 19 Aug 2013LA To The Grand Canyon In The Mercedes-Benz Of RVs
Piloting an 8,500-pound motorized house down the highway is far from my idea of fun, yet inexplicably, I'm enjoying myself. My grin has nothing to do with my camper's handling, as this heavily accoutered Mercedes-Benz Sprinter drives like a 25-foot long breadbox. My smile has nothing to do with on-road stability, as the ten-foot-tall, slab-sided vehicle reacts to wind gusts like the vertical stabilizer on a Boeing jet. My delight has nothing to do with its throttle or braking response, either, as both are as numb as your forehead after the eighth beer.
This monstrosity makes me happy for one reason - my passengers are undeniably having a good time.
