This is a sale for my 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 4.5L

I bought this Mercedes straight out of a storage unit a few months ago. According to the driving log/record book that was in the passenger seat, the last time the car was driven was back in 1999 for something like 12 miles. The original owner then stored the Mercedes in a storage garage. According to the storage facility manager, the original owner passed away, and due to non-payment the vehicle became their property.

I was a tow truck driver, and was dispatched to pick the Mercedes up and take it to a tire shop to fix the flat. Eventually, he talked me into buying it.

Well, I never got a chance to work on it (monetarily) and now I just want to do something else.

I know that in order to start a vehicle that's been in storage PROPERLY, there's a list of things you should do before turning the engine over.

I never wound up getting enough time and money together to change the oil, shoot oil into the spark plug cylinders, drain the gas tank, or other fluids, etc... so,

I HAVEN'T STARTED IT. I thought a person who wanted to restore this vehicle wouldn't want everything gummed up with old bad fluids, so that puts me at a disadvantage for sales. MY old tow manager told me I should start it anyways just to say that it runs and drives... But, I decided to stick to my guns on not starting it until the fluids were changed.... so, here we are.

However, I DID hook up a jump box to the battery to check all electrical, and the vents, etc. SO that's how I know all of that stuff works.

The Good::

-Only 102k miles

-Was in a storage unit for roughly the last 13 years

-Extremely NICE Interior

-No Dents

-All fluids look clean

-Power Windows Work

-Radio and all speakers work

-The Vents all work and blow air

-Have Clear title

-Horn works

-All lights (tail, head, signal, reverse, interior...+) work

-No door sag

-NO RUST*

The Bad::

-The flaky clear-coat makes the car look like $#!+

-Still has a flat tire

-*Some pitting is starting on the chrome rims

-The windshield washer fluid reservoir is cracked

-There is a tear on the backseat, and a bit of the stitching is coming undone (refer to pictures)

-The dashboard has three cracks on it (refer to pictures)

-All fluids are 13+ years old

-No trunk key (It's a different key than the ignition -$15@Benz-dealer w/title)

-Slight scrape on front right bumper (refer to picture)

If I missed anything or you have questions::

Mercedes S-Class Magic Body Control ad is clucking awesome

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

This is a new ad from Mercedes-Benz. At no point does it show an automobile. Instead, it stars animals, but not the sort you might normally see in car commercial. This ad is all about chickens. It is bizarre, to say the least, with Diana Ross and the Supremes belting it out in the background, but it all kind of comes together when you realize just what Mercedes is hawking (yeah, pun intended).
It's for the manufacturer's Magic Body Control, found on the new S-Class. The system basically analyzes the road and prepares the suspension accordingly, leading to a ride that is, in the words of our own Chris Paukert "nothing short of spooky." You can read about it in our full review of the 2014 S550. Take a look below for the 53-second spot.

Chevy Traverse, Hyundai Santa Fe revealed; Buick Envista, BMW M4 CSL driven | Autoblog Podcast #790

Fri, Jul 21 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor John Beltz Snyder. After some banter, including the discussion of an excellent tomato sauce recipe, they get into car reviews. Greg has been driving the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53, while John has been testing the BMW M4 CSL and Buick's new Envista crossover. There's lots of interesting news this week. Chevy revealed the 2024 Traverse with new looks, a new engine and on off-road(ish) trim. Hyundai gave us a glimpse at the wild styling of the next Santa Fe. Dodge might bring back the Stealth nameplate as an SUV, and that has implications for the Durango as well. Ford, after repeatedly raising prices, has turned around and significantly discounted the F-150 Lightning across all trims. The first Tesla Cybertruck has rolled off the line as a pre-production prototype. Finally, we reach in to the mailbag and help a listener decide what to do with cars for himself and his kids in this week's Spend My Money segment.

Mercedes raises the roof on new CLA Shooting Brake [UPDATE]

Tue, Nov 25 2014

UPDATE: As we feared, the CLA Shooting Brake is not currently slated for US availability. The text below has been adjusted accordingly. Of all the variants in Mercedes' smallest line, only one doesn't have a liftgate, and that's the CLA-Class. But don't worry, the German automaker is out to fix that too with the reveal of the new CLA Shooting Brake you see here. Based on the same platform that underpins the CLA four-door coupe, the A-Class hatchback, B-Class minivan and GLA crossover, the new Shooting Brake applies a similar formula we've already seen on the bigger CLS Shooting Brake but in a much smaller form – which is to say, it's a wagon, but a shapely one. The revised roofline means more headroom in the back seat and significantly more cargo capacity than the four-door's trunk. Mercedes will offer the CLA with a variety of engine choices, including a 2.1-liter turbodiesel with either 136 or 177 horsepower, a 1.6-liter four with 122, 156 or 211 horsepower. That last model will even be available with 4Matic all-wheel drive for those not enamored by the idea of a front-drive Benz, but the top of the range, of course, is the CLA45 AMG Shooting Brake that carries the same 2.0-liter turbo four Â– all 360 horsepower of it Â– as the four-door CLA45 as well as the A45 and GLA45. Driving once again to all four wheels, Daimler says it'll reach 62 in 4.7 seconds (even quicker than the crossover) and top out at the usual 155 miles per hour. Of course those options only apply to markets where the new Shooting Brake will be offered. And unfortunately, Mercedes-Benz USA confirmed to Autoblog that (like the CLS wagon) the CLA Shooting Brake won't be making the transatlantic voyage to US showrooms (where the E-Class is the only low-slung Benz wagon on offer). That leaves the four-door CLA and the GLA crossover still holding down the pint-sized fort for Mercedes. THE NEW MERCEDES-BENZ CLA SHOOTING BRAKE: SPACE FOR SOMETHING NEW Stuttgart. Breathtakingly sporty proportions and a powerfully dynamic design idiom with sensuously shaped surfaces already made the CLA unmistakable in its four-door Coupe guise. It is now followed by a further design icon, the CLA Shooting Brake, with a unique look all of its own. The lower overall height and the elongated coupe-style roof contour line, the low greenhouse and the sweep of the high beltline are the key design features of its distinctive profile.
