Drive car anywhere! True gem and cream puff!
HISTORY: You are bidding on a 1984 Mercedes-Benz 380SL. This car was purchased new by Dennis Hargett of Evansville, IN in 1984 at a cost of almost $46,000. He owned the car for 16 years and put 46K miles on it during that time. In 2001 the car was purchased by Tom Dinn of West Frankfort, IL at a cost of $18,000. Tom owned the car for 12 years and had to sell in this year when he was no longer physically able to enjoy the car. I purchased the car in May of 2013 from Tom with just over 59K on it. I had intentions of flipping as soon as I purchased but kept it for 6 weeks to enjoys this classic!
CONDITION: This car is about as nice as you can find in original condition. The only non original item is an aftermarket stereo. The car has very deep shining paint that is in overall great condition. Minor scuffs from hardtop and rock chips but nothing out of the ordinary for a 29 year old car. The interior is near flawless. No fading or cracking of interior. The car has been garage kept its entire life and it shows. The car has a factory hardtop and softop both look like the day they came off the showroom. This car requires nothing to enjoy on weekend cruises or enter into your local show.
MECHANICALLY: Tom told me when I bough the car I could drive it to California and back! Well I tested that as I drove it 300+ miles home from his house. The car drives flawlessly. I have a 2009 Mercedes and they drive equally as good. I did some minor tune-up items since I was going to enjoy the car a while. This included oil change, topped and checked all fluids, spark plugs, plug wires, rotor button and a new spare tire. The car has Good-Years all around with 85% tread life remaining. REMEMBER....this is a 1984 model and that means double row timing chain... that is a huge expense on pre 1984 models! I let my wife drive this car with her girlfriends and feel secure everytime she pulls out the driveway.
FEATURES: Everything works on this car except the power attena. It has power windows, locks, AC/Heat/Defrost, power mirrors, AM/FM/CD (aftermarket) and automatic transmission. I have many service records, carfax, clear title showing actual miles and many receipts.
VALUE: This is a NO RESERVE auction so you are going to set the value. I can tell you the current NADA values range from $16,500 for Low and $34,500 for high. I think this car is worth something in that range, but you are setting the price here so GOOD LUCK. See link below to get to NADA report.

Mercedes calls CLA 'best launch in 20 years' as it warns dealers of tight supplies
Fri, 13 Dec 2013It's still in the early going, but it's looking more and more like the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA is a verifiable home run for the German brand. According to a new report from Bloomberg, the new small car isn't just widening the sales gap between Mercedes and BMW, it's attracting a new, younger breed of customers into the brand's showrooms. But that early success is straining supplies of the turbocharged four-door.
Dealers have been warned that the first half of 2014 will see limited supplies for CLA, with a letter to dealers indicating that "tight inventories and low days supply" will exist from February through June, despite the car's Kecskemét, Hungary plant running at full tilt.
"This is our best launch in 20 years," said Steve Cannon, the US boss for Mercedes. "The CLA has been a phenomenal success right out of the gate." The numbers certainly support that. We reported in early October that Mercedes moved 2,300 CLAs in its first week on sale, and now Bloomberg is saying CLA sales were almost singlehandedly responsible for Benz's November sales gains. Mercedes' annual sales are up 14 percent through the November, and it's enjoying a healthy 7,600-car lead over BMW.
Chris Harris and David Coulthard wring out a Mercedes Fintail at the N"urburgring
Thu, 17 Oct 2013If there's one thing we've learned from the latest video from Drive, it's that the combination of Chris Harris and David Coulthard will produce some very quotable moments. Take this exchange, for example.
DC: "We are by some way the slowest."
CH: "But we're in a class of three cars, apparently."
2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4Matic [w/video]
Wed, 20 Feb 2013Maybe you saw our recent blog snippet on a bunch of US journos getting pulled over in the middle of nowhere in Catalunya, Spain for driving a bunch of new 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG models. By all accounts, they weren't speeding - which makes me softly guffaw. I was there in that group, yet I had taken the more direct route into the mountains from Barcelona so that I could... well, so that I could go faster. No one hassled me and I had the Autovia all to myself. And it was the goodniks - the team players - who got nabbed because Spain had decided to suddenly enforce the never enforced "must carry an international driver's license" clause of the highway code.
The departing E63 AMG with 518 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque from its M157 5.5-liter biturbo V8 hasn't exactly been poorly received. It isn't as crisp as, nor as pleasantly evil as its C63 AMG kid brother, but we generally accept that the heavier and larger car will always feel, well, heavier and larger.
As part of the 2014 E-Class mid-cycle redesign, Affalterbach decided to give its E63 AMG more power and torque for the occasion. The base car now gives off 550 hp and 531 lb-ft, while the hotter S version I tested (formerly the AMG Performance Pack) produces 577 hp and 590 lb-ft. The other big novelty is that E63 sedans will be available with both rear- and all-wheel drive, while all US-spec E63 wagons will be 4Matic equipped.
