Nashville, Tennessee, United States

This 1985 MERCEDES BENZ 380sl is a beautiful car that is exciting to drive. It accelerates and handles as it was designed to do. The exterior is in good shape, the body is very straight with no rust at all. The motor performs well and the transmission shifts as it should. The paint is in good condition, has been well taken care of and holds a fantastic shine; there are a few blemishes on the trunk. The car has a brand new black soft top less than a month old and the hard top is in good condition too. The chrome is in good shape and holds a brilliant shine. The bumpers look good, the rear bumper has a few dents and scratches but all the rubber around the bumpers is in great shape with very little sign of weathering. The wheels are in great shape and have a nice set of Michelin tires with a lot of tread life left. The interior is in very good condition, leather seats are in great shape showing little wear however there is a small hole on the drivers side bolster about the size of a dime. All the lights, wipers and dash gauges work as they should with the exception of the odometer. The odometer stopped working at the end of last year but I assume it has had less than 500 miles put on it since. An aftermarket radio and speakers have been installed but the original radio also comes with the car. The dash clock and cruise control work perfectly as do the power windows.  The vinyl on the rear top deck has a few tears and the vinyl on the side of the bottom deck has a hole in it. The car has working AC but the coolant level is low so it just blows cool not cold as of now. The car comes with a good clean CarFax that show no accidents or damage. This is a great Mercedes Benz convertible that produces not only a luxurious ride but will deliver it in timeless style.

Mercedes FWD platform to last until 2018, convertible and two-seater future uncertain

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

Mercedes-Benz seems to be expecting a lot of success from its front-wheel-drive CLA-Class. Automotive News is reporting that the sub-C-Class sedan could grow when its second generation arrives in 2018.
The current FWD platform for MB underpins the CLA, the B-Class, the GLA-Class, and the A-Class. The B-Class will arrive in North America as an EV for spring of 2014, while the production GLA crossover will arrive three to four months after that. The five-door A-Class won't be crossing The Pond. Sad faces all around.
According to AN, another model will be based on the front-drive architecture, but it won't be coming to the US market. Set to arrive next year, rumors are that it'll be a wagon version of the CLA, sort of like the ill-named five-door CLS Shooting Brake that is also a Europe-only item.

Maybach lost upwards of $500k on each vehicle sold

Wed, 08 Feb 2012

Daimler is shuttering Maybach in 2013 after seven years of production. In that time, the company's ultra-ultra-luxury arm managed to sell just 3,000 units, and CAR reports Daimler lost somewhere around $500,000 on each and every one of them.
Even with a ludicrous price tag of over $370,000 for an "entry" Maybach 57, the brand couldn't quite recoup the dizzying $1.33 billion Daimler poured into it since its (re)inception. Rumors ignited over a possible tie up with Aston Martin that would have resulted in a range of new and attractive models, but Daimler has instead decided to snuff out Maybach altogether.
We can hardly blame them.

BMW expects China to pass US as its top market in 2013

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

When you combine two billion citizens, 100 cities with more than a million inhabitants and an economy that's as unrestrained as Jim Cramer on an Adderall binge, China's explosive auto industry growth shouldn't be a huge surprise. Audi already lists the communist country as its largest market, while Mercedes-Benz is expecting it to be there in the next few years. Now, according to a report from Automotive News, BMW is expecting the People's Republic to overtake the United States in sales by the end of 2013.
We already discovered the extent that BMW is going to in establishing a dedicated Chinese stronghold, when we explored BMW's Shanghai-based DesignWorks studio ahead of April's Shanghai Motor Show. And while we argued that DesignWorks Shanghai hasn't really borne fruit, it isn't due to a lack of sales.
BMW China has seen a 16-percent jump in year-over-year sales, lead by a 28-percent gain in 5 Series sales. Part of BMW's growth strategy comes from an ever-expanding dealership network. Remember those 100 cities we mentioned with over one million people? According to Karsten Engel, CEO of BMW's Chinese operations, those 100-million-plus city dwellers don't have access to a premium dealership.
