1969 Mercedes Benz 230 Sedan on 2040-cars
Costa Mesa, California, United States
|
I am moving to Maine and cannot take this baby with me. My loss is your gain. I have really enjoyed this car and put quite a bit of money into it over the last several years to make it a comfortable and reliable weekend car. This car has tremendous curb appeal. I always get compliments and admiration for the car. I often get family stories from people who have fond memories this model of Mercedes. Please note that this is not a showroom car. It is not in fully restored or perfect condition. It is a solid Hagerty Condition 3 car. Check out the descriptions here: https://www.hagerty.com/valuationtools/HVT/VehicleSearch/Report?vc=1378154 . This car has a very good interior. No structural rust damage. Minimal body rust. Working A/C. After market radio with CD and MP3 input. Engine, transmission, suspension are all very good. The engine runs very nicely and there is no shaking or drift at 70 mph. Hagerty values this car at $6,600 in its current condition. If you want to enjoy it as a fun, reliable, weekend or around-town car, your only investment will be regular maintenance and occasional part replacements. Most everything works on this car: all lights, gauges, heat, a/c, radio, blinkers, wipers. The only things I know of that don't work are the clock and the wiper-washer. As previously stated, over $15,000 has been invested in this car since I've owned it. This car has a used engine from a later model 250 of the same body style. What is new includes a custom A/C condenser, complete exhaust system, radiator, carburetor, tires, front windshield, all seals around windows and doors and trunk, plus many other improvements too numerous to list. You are welcome to arrange an inspection of the vehicle before you purchase. However, the car is being sold as-is. To the best of my knowledge the vehicle has never been in an accident. The mileage (based on the condition of the interior and paint) is estimated by my mechanic at 115,000 (there is only a 5-digit odometer). My mechanic recently inspected the car in advance of this sale to determine if there are any major mechanical or structural issues with the car. There are none. There is some minor body rust and small leaks in the transmission and gaskets as can be expected of a 45-year-old car. But they do not affect the normal operation of the car. I am asking $5,500 for the car, which is well below the Hagerty listed value of $6,600. I will answer any questions you may have about the car. If you choose to purchase this car, I know you will enjoy it as much as I have. |

Erebus Motorsport Mercedes E-Class V8 Supercar completes the field [w/videos]
Sat, 23 Feb 2013Ford, Holden and Nissan introduced their V8 Supercar challengers a while back. Erebus Motorport, whose racing program got the green light not even 120 days ago, has finally shown off the Mercedes-Benz E-Class racer that will complete this year's field of entries. The first AMG race car ever to be built outside of Germany, it's an Australian-built tube-frame chassis specced to the series' Car of Tomorrow rules, fitted with body panels that channel the E63 AMG.
Supported by AMG Customer Motorsport, the 5.0-liter engine is provided by HWA in Germany, the racing arm of AMG. Regulations dictate that it have roughly 650 horsepower, a redline between 7,000 and 7,500 rpm and a torque curve that matches the parity baseline set for all cars.
Lee Holdsworth, Tim Slade and Maro Engel will drive the three team cars, each with different sponsors. Their first showing will be at the Clipsal 500 on March 3 in Adelaide, here in the US we'll get to see them in May at the Circuit of the Americas. Check out the videos below of the Erebus car starting up at its launch, and footage of all of this year's cars doing pre-season testing on track together.
Maybach could become Mercedes-Benz sub-brand
Wed, 22 Jun 2011When you're arriving in a twin-turbocharged, twelve-cylinder Maybach limo, there's no reason you should ever have to be late. Except, maybe, to make a fashionable entrance. But up at the corporate level, the entire Maybach brand is being slowed down as critical decisions about its future are being undertaken.
Last week, we reported that a decision on what path Maybach would take going forward would be due at the start of next month, but the latest reports indicate that the timeframe has been extended as further options are being considered.
The previous options under consideration were twofold: either relaunch the brand with production outsourced to Aston Martin - which suddenly finds itself with excess production capacity - or shut it down completely. And those are still two very real options. Word has it that Aston has put together four concept cars for the Daimler brass to consider, all based on the next-generation S-Class platform (and thankfully not the old one).
2014 Mercedes S-Class priced lower from $92,900*
Mon, 09 Sep 2013The 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.
