1985 Mercedes G Wagon G500 G280 5 Speed! on 2040-cars
Vancouver, Washington, United States
|
I am selling a very nice G280 wagon for far less than its value! Buy it now price is only a few hundred more than reserve to weed out non paying bidders. If you have zero feedback or no paypal acct please contact me before bidding. Secondly this is a 1985 G class wagon W460 but i had to list as a 1980 because Ebay cant configure the vin number. Selling a very nice Mercedes G280. Unleaded gas vehicle. Made for U.S. driving, nothing special needed to drive. Dirt cheap registration and insurance. Factory running boards. New Keyless entry. New high end stereo with ipod hookup. This G Wagon was one of the very rare imported by Europa and was made for U.S. driving. Normal speedometer etc. Manual five speed Transmition makes it very fun to drive. 4x4 was just thoroughly gone through last year and functions great! Drives at highway speeds with no problems. Over $5,000 spent last year on everything from new brakes, windshield, highway tires, gas tank, rear springs,sending unit, fuel filter,air filter,shocks, skid plate, tow hitch, fog lights, to high end Kenwood stereo system that is Bluetooth and Ipod capable and keyless entry alarm system. Factory 18" Mercedes wheels. Retains Titanium silver factory paint and unlike most out there has very little rust, a small amount of bubbles under paint next to the gas cap and some bubbles around the windshield. Frame and undercarraige are undercoated to prevent rust. Zero structural rust. Very clean underneath. factory cloth and leather interior is very clean. Dash area is like new, headliner is great. Some wear to drivers seat, others are excellent. All glass is perfect no cracks or rock chips, with dark tint. This G Wagen is fuel efficient as well and is very reliable with no major computers or electric systems that can break. It also never needs emission testing and the registration is dirt cheap. it is the ultimate off road vehicle. Long wheel base. My original plans were to paint it all Mercedes pearl white and recover the seats with black leather. I just don't have the heart to do it because the factory paint (with the exception of some minor bubbles as pictured) is just too nice and someone will surely love the retro look of the interior. The neat thing about these is that they look almost the same as the new models that cost around $165,000. Ive seen this model cloned to look just like the brand new G500, the body is almost identical. When driving this it gets all the looks because it is such an unusual and large truck, it towers over most SUV trucks and is built like a tank. With that being said it would look amazing modernized with new bigger wheels and off road style tires. It already has modern luxuries in the new Kenwood ipod system and keyless entry. It also comes with genuine black sheepskin covers not installed. Rear brakes are a bit soft and will need work. These are easy rigs to work on and the parts cost a fraction of the new ones. Imagine owning a G-class for less than a Honda with easy maintenence! I am selling it way below market value so someone will get a good deal on a timeless style truck that will last forever and actually appreciate as you drive. I welcome any and all inspections prior to auction end. Ask all questions and inspect before bidding. I can help with transport anywhere. If you have been trying to find one these in good condition then this is the one!

Man makes record-setting drive across the US in 28 hours, 50 minutes
Fri, 01 Nov 2013Records, as the say, are made to be broken. Whether that's cramming the most hot dogs down your gullet, running a faster mile, or yes, driving across the United States, odds are that there's someone out there wants to eat more, run faster or drive harder. Speaking of that last example, the record for driving from a set location on the east coast, in particular the Red Ball Garage in Manhattan to the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach, CA, has been one that has fascinated gearheads since a guy named Cannonball Baker made the trek from New York to LA in 53 hours, 30 minutes, in 1933.
The competition saw its glory days when Car and Driver's Brock Yates came up with the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash (more affectionately known as the Cannonball Run), although the record was most recently set by Alex Roy and his 32-hour, seven-minute trek behind the wheel of a BMW M5 in 2006. Now, there's a new champion, who made the trip from east to west in a scarcely imaginable 28 hours and 50 minutes, behind the wheel of a 2004 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG. That's works out to an average speed of 98 miles per hour over the course of 2,813.7 miles.
His name is Ed Bolian, and Jalopnik has a writeup of the epic voyage that details everything from the history of the Cannonball Run to Bolian's preparation and trouble finding co-drivers, to the trip itself. It is well worth a read.
Does Alex Rodriguez' Mercedes dealership have a PR problem?
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Alex Rodriguez, in case you haven't heard, is seemingly the new Most Hated Man In Baseball, ostensibly replacing commissioner Bud Selig (for now). Rodriguez was slammed with a 211-game suspension due to his role in the MLB's latest steroid scandal in which "A-Roid," as fans have taken to calling the former superstar, was cited with steroid use and attempts to hide his involvement by "engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate" the investigation, according to the MLB's official report.
Why is this on a car site, then? Because Rodriguez' name is attached Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz in League City, TX. An Ad Age report cites Mercedes-Benz USA in saying that A-Rod owns "about half'" of the dealership. Mercedes, for what it's worth, isn't going to any to any lengths to distance itself from its dealership or its controversial namesake, saying, "We never promoted the fact that A-Rod owned a dealership, so there's really nothing to 'distance' ourselves from. And since his activity is not illegal but rather prohibited by MLB, there's nothing actionable here."
With the scandal still a fresh piece of news and A-Rod's pending appeal, it's difficult to tell what sort of effect, if any, his name will have on the dealership's sales. Ad Age contacted the GM of Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz to get the dealership's view, but no calls were returned. According to Mercedes, any name change is up to Rodriguez and his partner(s) at the dealership. Somehow, though, we think A-Rod has other things to worry about beyond his dealership's name.
2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA priced from $31,300*
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Mercedes-Benz has kindly let loose the price of the 2015 GLA-Class, telling Autoblog.com that the base 208-horsepower GLA250 in two-wheel drive will go for $31,300 *not including a destination charge of $925. That makes for $32,225 in total to get one off the lot, a price predicted as early as last year and in our recent First Drive. The other two available models can push power to all four wheels, and after the destination fee is applied the GLA240 4Matic (pictured) will be $34,225 while the 355-horsepower GLA45 AMG will change lives and wallets to the tune of $49,225.
On the base scale, that puts the GLA250 just a few hundred dollar bills above the more powerful, rear-wheel drive BMW X1 and a stack of hundreds below the less powerful, front-wheel drive Audi Q3. If you're keeping in-house score, the GLA250 comes in at $1,400 above its sedan platform-mate with the same engine, the CLA250. At the high end, however, the competition doesn't have anything that can touch the AMG trim. Not that it should matter all that much - Mercedes needed something to keep these buyers in the family, and now they have it. If any of them should need even more power and more money spent, then there's always that 394-hp Brabus flavor. We'll have more info and details on each trim when Mercedes unleashes the shebang in the not-too-distant future.
