This is a sale for my 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 4.5L
I bought this Mercedes straight out of a storage unit a few months ago. According to the driving log/record book that was in the passenger seat, the last time the car was driven was back in 1999 for something like 12 miles. The original owner then stored the Mercedes in a storage garage. According to the storage facility manager, the original owner passed away, and due to non-payment the vehicle became their property. I was a tow truck driver, and was dispatched to pick the Mercedes up and take it to a tire shop to fix the flat. Eventually, he talked me into buying it. Well, I never got a chance to work on it (monetarily) and now I just want to do something else. I know that in order to start a vehicle that's been in storage PROPERLY, there's a list of things you should do before turning the engine over. I never wound up getting enough time and money together to change the oil, shoot oil into the spark plug cylinders, drain the gas tank, or other fluids, etc... so, I HAVEN'T STARTED IT. I thought a person who wanted to restore this vehicle wouldn't want everything gummed up with old bad fluids, so that puts me at a disadvantage for sales. MY old tow manager told me I should start it anyways just to say that it runs and drives... But, I decided to stick to my guns on not starting it until the fluids were changed.... so, here we are. However, I DID hook up a jump box to the battery to check all electrical, and the vents, etc. SO that's how I know all of that stuff works. The Good:: -Only 102k miles -Was in a storage unit for roughly the last 13 years -Extremely NICE Interior -No Dents -All fluids look clean -Power Windows Work -Radio and all speakers work -The Vents all work and blow air -Have Clear title -Horn works -All lights (tail, head, signal, reverse, interior...+) work -No door sag -NO RUST* The Bad:: -The flaky clear-coat makes the car look like $#!+ -Still has a flat tire -*Some pitting is starting on the chrome rims -The windshield washer fluid reservoir is cracked -There is a tear on the backseat, and a bit of the stitching is coming undone (refer to pictures) -The dashboard has three cracks on it (refer to pictures) -All fluids are 13+ years old -No trunk key (It's a different key than the ignition -$15@Benz-dealer w/title) -Slight scrape on front right bumper (refer to picture) If I missed anything or you have questions:: Email, Message or call: Daryl. 512-219-1981 |

Mercedes to market Tesla-powered 2014 B-Class EV in U.S.
Thu, 05 Jul 2012Looks like another Tesla Motors investor will be looking to cash in on their connection. Autoweek reports Mercedes-Benz will offer their B-Class in the U.S. with Tesla propulsion.
The magazine says their source at the German automaker confirms plans for a B-Class electric-only vehicle. While Tesla already provides battery packs for the battery-powered Smart ForTwo, the B-Class EV will reportedly have Tesla batteries, motor and other components. U.S. residents should be able to procure one sometime in 2014.
The same Mercedes source says plans for a hybrid B-Class have been postponed for now. Adding a range-extending, gasoline-powered engine to an electric vehicle would put the car into a different class for which rebates and incentives aren't as favorable in the States.
First official shot of Mercedes S-Class Coupe leaks out
Mon, 10 Feb 2014With the official debut for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe expected tomorrow, it shouldn't be a surprise that some clicky fingers have already managed to uncover an official image of the car before the unveiling. Outside of this sole image, though, there's precious little detail on the new car.
First posted by Autofilou and then picked up by WorldCarFans, the production S-Class Coupe isn't far off from the concept car we saw a few months back in Frankfurt. Like the concept, the leggy production model appears related, albeit distantly, to the S-Class Sedan. The hood and front fascia are longer and lower, befitting of a two-door, while the character lines in the profile are more pronounced. Obviously, the beltline and slim, B-pillarless greenhouse are coupe-only items. We can't see any details on the back of the car, although it does appear that the long hood has a correspondingly short rear deck.
We'll have all the details on the official replacement for the CL-Class when it makes its full debut tomorrow. Until then, what do you think of this lone image? Does it appear that Mercedes has got it right? In terms of design, where would you rank this with the departing CL-Class? Have your say in Comments.
Daimler buying 12% stake in Beijing Auto
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Daimler and Beijing Automotive are officially going steady, with the German company set to take a 12-percent stake in the Chinese brand tomorrow. The two are already tied up in a Mercedes engine plant in Beijing, of which BAIC will increase its stake in, from 50 to 51 percent. Daimler will also get two seats on the Chinese company's board. BAIC may also gain the ability to produce cars on Mercedes-Benz platforms, according to Automotive News Europe.
The investment in BAIC comes ahead of that company's initial public offering, according to a report form Bloomberg, which indicates the deal will be inked tomorrow in the Chinese capital. According to the report, if the circumstances are right, BAIC may turn around and invest in the Germany company "soon."
It's not entirely clear just how much the 12-percent cut is costing Daimler, although it seems reasonable to assume that, as it's ahead of the IPO, the parent company of Mercedes is getting a bit of a bargain.
