1981 Mercedes Benz 380 Sl Roadster on 2040-cars
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States

Buyer to provide 10% Deposit via Cashiers Check and balance prior to pick up in Ft Lauderdale. I purchased this car in Jan 2006. All indications are that it's always been a south Florida car. I have some of the previous owners records and all of mine. The mileage was 156,820 at the time and I have no reason to believe that this was not accurate. The current reading is 158,911 and the odometer has not been working for a while. The actual mileage is less than 160,000. I drive it once or twice a month to work which is 28 miles round trip. The car is a driver , not a show car, but has the potential with some TLC. I love the car and the attention it draws but don't have the time to bring it 100%. The tires are 2 Perellies and 2 Goodyear and are in excellent condition. The original hardtop has been in storage since I had the car painted shortly after I purchased it. It does need a new headliner. Since I have owned the car I have completed the following: painted the original black color with clear coat; new German canvas roof with all new weather stripping; complete tune-up; new brakes and lines; all new carpeting in the interior compartment, the trunk carpeting was going to be my next appearance project; new leather in the rear seat area including the boot; the rest of the leather is in great shape; the dash board overlay is cracked and has a removable custom piece of carpet covering it; new real zebra wood for the console; new window control buttons; new Sony AM/FM CD player with removable face plate and a new power antenna; new fuel pump and lines; new die hard battery; new tie-rods. There is a small dent in the front bumper and a couple in the rear bumper. There is a little rust along the trunk line and the panel adjacent to the trunk. The windshield has a few nicks and scratches, not uncommon for a 34 year old car. The trunk paint has faded. It is missing both sun visors and 1 map pocket. The windshield washers and cruise control do not work. The transmission whines a little when it shifts. The HVAC system does not work in all positions and the AC needs recharging. It has a small leak that I have not investigated.

Mercedes mulling Renault-based entry-level X-Class?
Sun, 17 Mar 2013Somewhere in between the Smart brand and the all-new A-Class (pictured above), Daimler is said to be readying a smaller entry-level product for the Mercedes-Benz brand to compete with models like the Audi A1. According to AutoBild, Mercedes-Benz will get a new hatchback based on a platform from its recent partnership with Renault-Nissan, and it could be called the X-Class.
Expected to debut by 2018, the Mercedes-Benz X-Class could be offered in sedan, hatchback and crossover variants, and it would likely have a starting price below the $20,000-euro mark. Power would come from either a 1.0-liter inline three-cylinder engine or a 1.5-liter inline-four, and the car would likely be built in a low-cost nation in order to make the financials work. Wearing the Mercedes-Benz name, the X-Class would have to exhibit more distinguishable luxury and styling to set itself apart from the models that helped provide its underpinnings.
Mercedes widens luxury sales gap on strong early CLA demand
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Mercedes-Benz CLA sales have been booming, with the Stuttgart-based manufacturer moving 2,300 of the sleek four-doors in its first week on sale. That is astonishing. Mercedes moved nearly twice as many CLAs (which start at $29,900) in one week than Jaguar, a brand that is on a very solid roll, sold in all of September. Ignoring the price differences between the Jag line and the CLA, that is still wildly impressive.
Mercedes has been pushing the CLA in television ads, using a shortened version of its Super Bowl spot, which starred William Dafoe, Usher and Kate Upton. "As the bargain entrance into the Mercedes portfolio, we weren't sure how luxury buyers would react," Kelly Blue Book auto analyst Alec Gutierrez told Bloomberg.
The CLA push was just part of MB's 6.7-percent increase in September sales, which were also helped along by a 17-percent jump in E-Class sales. That surge has allowed Mercedes to widen its 2013 sales lead over its rival, BMW, to 2,491 cars, according to Bloomberg. If CLA sales continue at this rate, we can only expect that margin to grow.
Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept gets mobbed in China
Sat, 20 Apr 2013If the reception it received at the Shanghai Motor Show is any judge of marketplace acceptance, Mercedes-Benz has a hit on its hands in the form of the GLA Concept. And we can understand why - we're quickly becoming fans of Mercedes' recent styling language, as defined by new models like the CLA and this GLA Concept.
The big news on the exterior front are the headlamp clusters, which have frickin' laser beams attached to their foreheads embedded inside that are capable of projecting videos and images on a screen. Plus, a pair of video cameras are mounted on the roof that can be used to capture driving excitement or removed and taken with you. How cool is that? We just hope they have a substantial locking mechanism to prevent would-be thievery...
If the exterior is mostly ready for production, with a few of the more outlandish elements moved to the trash bin - like, for instance, laser-beam headlamps and removable action cams - the interior is a true custom job that screams concept loud and clear. There are all kinds of jewel-like finishes inside, along with transparent surfaces showing what looks like metal latticework underneath and some awfully thick looking leather with massive exterior stitching done by hand similar to what you'd find on a baseball glove.
