This listing is for a 1981 Mercedes Benz 380SL with 85,000 original miles. The car comes with a hard top, it looks to have been on the car most of its life, and the soft top is in almost new condition. Both tops are in perfect working order with all the latches working and having no leaks.  The interior is spotless and with the exception of a tear in the driver seat and 2 lacquer chips in the wood on the center console. The exterior is in good drivers shape. Some of the chrome pieces are faded and might need a good polish. The paint is a little dull, and looks to have been painted once in its life. With the condition of the mechanics, interior and mileage, a great paint job could double the value of this car. Mechanically it runs and drives extremely well for its year. The front end had some play in it when we got it, but it was all repaired with Mercedes parts. Its starts right up, the engine runs VERY smooth with NO noises or hesitation. The transmission shifts good with no problems. The switch for the AC compressor is broken, and as of now we have one ordered, but have not installed it to check if it is working. The Blower motor works, and it switches from defrost to vents with no problem. The radio is in working order and seems to be original. The windows are power, and work with no hesitation. All 4 tires are Michelins with good tread, but have dry cracks on them due to the car probably sitting for a while. 


This car is sold as-is, but i would trust it to make a long trip with no problem. We are a dealer so feel free to email us any questions or to come look at it at any time. We do charge a $150 Doc fee on all sales. We also can help with transport. If you have less than 5 feedback email us before you click buy it now.

Geely and Mercedes-Benz invest $780 million to make electric Smart cars

Wed, Jan 8 2020

BEIJING/SHANGHAI — Zhejiang Geely and Mercedes-Benz on Wednesday said they would each invest $388.77 million (2.7 billion yuan) in a China-based venture to build "premium and intelligent electrified" vehicles under the Smart brand. The 50:50 venture has received regulatory approval and will be based in the Chinese coastal city of Ningbo, the Chinese and German automakers said in a statement. Like Mercedes-Benz, smart is a Daimler marque. The venture will have manufacturing capacity in China and sales operations in China and Germany, the automakers said. Geely will lead in engineering the cars while Mercedes-Benz will take charge of their overall look, they said. The partners will each have three executives on the board of directors, with Geely's Tong Xiangbei becoming the venture's global chief executive. Geely has expanded rapidly through mergers and acquisitions since buying Sweden's Volvo in 2010 from U.S. parent Ford. In 2018, it built a stake of almost 9.7% in Daimler and set up a ride-hailing venture in China with the Stuttgart-based carmaker. Its latest announcement comes just over a month after China's Great Wall and Germany's BMW formed a venture to build electric Mini-branded cars in China, the world's biggest market for electrified vehicles where demand for smaller EVs is on the rise.

Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017

Tue, Feb 17 2015

Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).
