Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"The engine compartment heater boxes are missing, the passenger seat has an open seam, the horn doesn't work and somebody installed a really silly radio and a goofy fan. No significant rust; the floorboards are rusty but not rusted through and probably can use some attention. Bumpers/grill/star are in excellent condition. It won't go into reverse; it is thought to be a linkage problem. Also after sitting still for a year and a half the brake pedal is very low and soft. It starts right up every time and the engine runs extremely well. The left rear fender was hit at some point in the past and the repair work was done poorly. The interior is OK. I've never understood the brown and red interior. The headliner has a bad spot in the left rear; New one in the trunk. There are four matching Michelin tires that look very good but probably need replacing before long road trips are done.This car has been an absolute pleasure to drive & work on."

 

About four years ago a woman in her seventies walked up to me as I was parking and said, ""I dated a rich guy once and he had a car that looked just like this. It's very nice." .I smiled and thanked her. I promise you that I am not that rich guy but I have enjoyed this car every time I drove it and worked on it.  It won't win the concurs `d elegance this year, but it could if  you put a few bucks in it.    Except for the left rear fender, the body is excellent. It's obvious that it was hit a some point in the past and whoever repaired it did a really crappy job.   It has a dings and scratches and needs a good paint job. It is in remarkably good condition for its 52 years. There is no significant rust. The floor is rusty but not rusted through.  The bright work is amazing. The bumpers are flawless, as is the grill and star. It has a transmission problem that we think is a linkage issue. It won't go into reverse.  Also since its been sitting for about 1 1/2 years the brake pedal is extremely soft/low.    Everything else is very good.  It starts the first crank, every time. The headliner looks a little shabby in the left rear corner, but there is a new one in the trunk.  I'm not sure how many miles are actually on it. The odometer shows 66598 but it could be one hundred or two hundred thousand more.  I'm not sure how many owners there have been. I bought it from an elementary school librarian (honest) about 6 years ago, who bought from some one in Connecticut. It has been in Georgia for nine years and I shipped it to Texas about 1 1/2 years ago.    I smile every time I get in and the interior light goes on. It still works!  This is a solid car, remarkable for its age. Please ask questions; I will answer to the best of my ability..

New Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe spied in revealing state of dress

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

During a product briefing earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz told us that 2013 would be the "year of the S-Class." Makes sense, too, since the flagship Mercedes is so very close to finally showing its production-ready face. But the high-tech saloon isn't the only S-Class to talk about this year - quite the contrary. Seen here in decidedly revealing camouflage, the new S-Class Coupe will be joining its four-door compadre in the not-too-distant future, as well.
When it launches, the S-Class Coupe will officially do away with the CL-Class nomenclature. This doesn't come as a huge shock. After all, when the new E-Class coupe and convertible were launched, it officially marked the end of the long-running CLK-Class designation.
Thanks to the interesting camouflage seen here, we have a very good glimpse at how the S-Class Coupe will look when all of the molding and swirly paper are peeled off. Rakish body lines pulled from the CLS-Class meet a much more dynamic front fascia. Out back, there are horizontal taillamps rather than the vertical units used on the current car, and the whole package seems very svelte. Our spy photographer even posits that this will be "the best-looking car from Mercedes-Benz in ages."

Best car infotainment systems: From UConnect to MBUX, these are our favorites

Sun, Jan 7 2024

Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried all car infotainment systems what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. For the most part, the various infotainment systems available all share a similar purpose. They aim to help the driver get where they're going with navigation, play their favorite tunes via all sorts of media playback options and allow folks to stay connected with others via phone connectivity. Of course, most go way beyond the basics these days and offer features like streaming services, in-car performance data and much more. Unique features are aplenty when you start diving through menus, but how they go about their most important tasks vary widely. Some of our editors prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based and chock full of boundary-pushing features. Others may prefer a back-to-basics non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best infotainment overall: UConnect 5, various Stellantis products Ram 1500 Uconnect Infotainment System Review If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu.

BMW reclaims US luxury sales crown from Mercedes

Tue, Jan 6 2015

The numbers, they are in: BMW has reclaimed the luxury-sales crown from Mercedes by a margin of 9,347 cars. Mercedes donned the king's headgear in 2013 after a strong final quarter of 2013 when the new CLA and S-Class poured out of dealerships. This year, led by the 3 Series/4 Series and X5, BMW sold 339,738 units – a 9.8-percent increase year-on-year. Mercedes, led by the C-Class and M-Class, saw its sales go up by 5.7 percent to 330,391 units. We'll have to wait a bit to see if there's another registrations-vs-sales challenge as in 2012, when BMW was anointed US luxury ruler. Behind them, a dark horse named Lexus nudged closer to the leading Teutons, selling 311,389 cars. The Japanese luxury automaker also had the biggest gain among the top three, its sales rising by 13.7 percent compared to 2013. Audi had the biggest sales of anyone among the top five, though, with a 15.2-percent gain to 182,011, which moved it a spot ahead of Cadillac; the Wreath-and-Crest brand dropped 6.5 percent to 170,750. Acura (167,843), Infiniti (117,300), and Lincoln (94,474) took the final positions. Speaking of Lincoln, sales at the once-mighty luxury marque stand as the mightiest jump of any on this list, up 15.6 percent. That's the power of Matthew McConaughey... and better cars and a new crossover, sure. So now that we're back to Round One of 2015, in case no one else has said it yet: "Ok, fight!"
