If you were ever looking for a 2 owner 380SL roadster that is one of the best untouched originals around you have found it! This is a magnificent original 1985 Mercedes 380SL model. Garage kept 100% of its life, owned by the original single lady owner for its first 19 years and meticulously cared for its entire life, only 92,614 pampered miles with only17,000 over the last 13 years. Includes all of the original books, records, manuals tools, cassette tape deck and even the original first aid kit. This car is as nice as you can get and truly looks, runs and drives like a 30K very well cared for original. You will rarely come across any SL even a very low mile example that compares to this one. The car is truly in mint condition. The car is impeccable and babied and pampered from day one. When driven the car was never parked in direct sunlight always protecting the beautiful original Nautical Blue paint. The car has virtually no door dings, wear marks or scratches, never parked near other cars. The stunning Nautical Blue/Gray combination is not only rare but an absolute beauty to be seen in at your favorite weekend getaway. The car still has the original lustrous Nautical Blue. The paint is stunning and has absolutely no rust, accidents or clear coat issues, truly an amazing 29 year old well cared for classic. The original gray leather interior is in brand new condition! The leather seats are perfect as is the carpet throughout. The original dash is flawless, the wood console has no discoloration or cracks. Everything operates perfectly including both the heater and the climate controlled air conditioning.

The car runs and drives like its 1985 all over again. The engine purrs and the transmission shifts smoothly. The car handles on the road perfectly with no play in the steering, stops on a dime, no fluid leaks. Has the most efficient 3.8 liter fuel injected V8 that incorporates the durable dual timing chain. This 380SL needs nothing but a new owner to appreciate the beauty that it is. |

Russia gives its Olympic medalists new Mercedes
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Russian medalists at the recently concluded Sochi Winter Olympics are being rewarded quite handsomely for their service to the Motherland. In addition to the $120,000 being handed out for each gold medal, the $76,000 being awarded for slivers and $52,000 given to bronze winners, now word has come out that each of Russia's medalists will be gifted a new Mercedes-Benz.
As with the prize amounts, the type of Mercedes offered was based on what sort of medal was won. Gold medalists got a new GL-Class, silver medalists were given an ML and bronze medalists were treated to a GLK. As prices for Mercedes are higher in Russia, the cheapest model, the GLK, was the equivalent of $59,500, according to The Moscow Times. The cars were handed out by Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, pictured above with figure skating medalist Julia Lipnitskaia.
"I was a bit shocked at the car I was given," Anton Shipulin, a member of the gold-medal biathlon relay team, told RIA-Novosti. "Of course I knew what kind of model it would be, but I didn't totally believe it." For athletes not old enough to drive, like 15-year-old Lipnitskaia, their Mercedes will come complete with a driver.
Missouri Mercedes dealer offering free Smart with every SLS AMG purchase
Wed, 05 Dec 2012The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT is an exquisite sports car that probably needs no help flying off dealer lots, even with a starting price of almost $200,000, but Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City has come up with an interesting incentive to sweeten the deal. For buyers who purchase a new SLS AMG from dealer stock before the end of the year, the dealership is throwing in a new Smart Fortwo from its inventory at no charge... with a required coupon no less.
In addition to being a great tactic to get a little free press, the spare car also makes sense as an alternative to the SLS, which measures more than 15-feet long - almost twice the length of a Fortwo - and has a 563-horsepower engine that sucks down gas at the rate of 13 miles per gallon in city driving (and even that's provided you don't give in to the devil on your shoulder). Plus, at the end of the day, this really isn't that big of an incentive. Being given a slow-selling $12,490 car for the purchase of a model starting at $199,500 represents about a six percent incentive, which is along the lines of a $1,900 rebate for a $30,000 car.
To get the free Smart, just visit the Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City Facebook page, redeem the coupon and then go buy yourself a new SLS AMG. Congratulations!
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.
