I bought this car back in 2010 and it had 68,150 miles on it. That means in the last 4 years only 2,216 miles were added to it. It runs great, I just don't use it that often. I am the 3rd owner of it. The original owner bought it in Florida and it was moved here to PA, bought by the second and then by me.
As you can see in the pictures below, it's not a flawless show car- although it is an all original Mercedes. The car was stored in a garage it's entire life and has no rust on it. It was recently inspected here in PA. The whole car was repainted in the original factory color. The paint job was done by the previous owners brother who is a professional car painter at a new car dealership. The only blemish on it is where it got dinged in a parking lot. (See picture) I have the touch up paint in the original color that you can take with you. As far as the roof: I had the soft top replaced with a brand new top. The plastic on the back is clear and can be seen through. The hard top is currently residing in my basement. I took it off the day I got the car since I wanted to run it as a convertible all the time. It too was repainted along with the rest of the car and is flawless. I have both original roof tools too. The car runs great as I mentioned. All miles are original. The air conditioning needs work, that is to say it doesn't function. When I bought the car, I didn't care about this since I wanted a convertible anyhow. I have the original manual and first aid kit as well. I bought a new radio for it, so it has a CD player now. The antenna itself retracts, but not all the way. (see picture) Please keep in mind this is a 35 year old car. For instance, the weatherstripping is functional and good, but it isn't going to look like it just rolled off the lot in Miami in 1979. Also, the armrest is loose and could be fixed or replaced fairly easily. The driver seat is very comfortable and shows the wear you might expect given the age. Apparently there weren't many passengers since that seat is in great shape. Anyone can come and inspect the car but must do that before bidding. You can ask me for a picture of anything on the car and I'll either email it to you or add it to the pictures on here. There is no warranty expressed or implied. Again, please email any questions! |

Mercedes working on new inline-six engines
Mon, 11 Nov 2013Mercedes-Benz will make a return to the inline-six-cylinder engine game, according to a report from the UK's AutoCar. It's not clear what's prompting the phasing out of the current array of V6s.
We'll see the first inline-six from Mercedes in next-generation E-Class, set to debut in 2016. Following that, it'll arrive as part of a mid-cycle refresh for the C-Class in 2017. What's particularly special about the new inline-six is its modular nature, which will allow Mercedes to eventually spinoff three- and four-cylinder options, with the three-pot arriving alongside the new inline-six.
In other news, AutoCar uncovered some details on the next C-Class AMG, which will ditch its excellent 6.2-liter, AMG V8 in favor of a 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8, although we've already told you about that. What we didn't know at the time, though, was that the 4.0-liter would be paired first with a new, seven-speed AMG Speedshift transmission and offer all-wheel drive. AC also reports that a nine-speed Speedshift is in the works.
Next Mercedes S-Class stretching into this 600 Pullman limo
Fri, 15 Mar 2013To the concern of nobody in particular, Mercedes-Benz will not be re-upping its Maybach line of ultra-luxury limousines. No, instead the German automaker will be stretching its already roomy S-Class, to make this upcoming 600 Pullman version of the decked-out beast.
The car in our new gallery of spy shots is sporting beefy B-pillars and a massive set of rear doors that should allow perfectly graceful ingress and egress from what is likely to be a palatial rear space. (In one photo we can even see a long-wheelbase S-Class in line with the new Pullman, handily exhibiting the size of the new variant.) The exterior modifications are otherwise obscured, though we can guess at revised front and rear fascia and lighting elements, based on both end being heavily taped for these test runs.
It's a good bet that the Pullman will make use of M-B's twin-turbocharged V12 engine, though sources indicate that a hybrid version might eventually be in the offing, as well.
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.
