Altadena, California, United States

Rare 1987 Mercedes 190e 2.3L -16v with 88k miles. Been stored since 2003, recently registered and up to date tags, 5 speed dog leg transmission, own a very rare piece of automotive history with a racing legacy. Mercedes Benz only imported 2,200 of these between 1986-87 for US customers.  

 This car sat in a garage for 10 years prior to me purchasing it. Why buy an all original car when you can get a car with all new bushings, control arms etc..Needless to say, it is one of a kind, and truly fun to drive, and not many in this good of condition are still on the road.Recenty replaced engine mounts and transmission mount, new rear bushings,new rear adjustable control arms (all from HedgeHog motorsports - $1700 value). Lowered on bilstein shocks, H&R Springs, drilled rotors, new rear axles, rebuilt rear differential, 16" mercedes SL rims with brand new Toyo Proxes Tires, new kenwood USB stereo, Euro headlights.. I have put a lot of work into the car since owning it.   

All the hard work has been done. I have receipts covering its 27 year history. All numbers match. Clean CA title, straight body, all gauges work with exception of lap timer which is common. Interior in good condition with Mercedes floor mats, car cover, Drives and shifts good.  Have tons of extra parts including 500e sway bars and H&R swaybars, original headlights, extra set of rims and more. Magnaflow exhaust, no cats. I have a seperate bolt on exhaust system that will let make it pass smog. Will not pass smog legally. Registration good till 2014, smog check good for 2 years.  These cars are starting to appreciate in value just as when the e30 M3's did a few years back. This will eventually be a $20-$30k car if you were to simply sit on it. 

 Cons: Dash cracked, Odometer stopped working at 88k miles. Paint is patina in some areas, sunroof doesnt open, lap timer doesnt work, this is a 70/100 car, The AC is non operational at this time, antenna doesnt go up and down. Put some work into the interior and new paint and you will have a 100/100 car. 

 Shipping is buyers responsibility, I am willing to hold on to the vehicle for free at a safe place until it is picked up or arranged for shipment, if i have to store the vehicle for a while I will be more glad to do so for free but it must be paid for in full first. I will only accept cash in hand, Money orders, Bank cashiers checks. No personal checks will be accepted I am sorry. 

Make an offer today through ebay or email me your offers, I will not respond to scam messages and emails and I will report you so don't bother. I do not need help to sell the car either. Deposit is non refundable  photo IMG_0105_zps86396fbf.jpg  photo IMG_0092_zpsc08b70fb.jpg  photo IMG_0091_zpsb4130585.jpg  photo IMG_0104_zpsdf19ae89.jpg  photo IMG_0078_zps3665bb80.jpg  photo IMG_0077_zps8ab0e4b5.jpg  photo IMG_0073_zps88943fec.jpg  photo IMG_0071_zps87fa0810.jpg  photo IMG_0097_zps8b17c192.jpg  photo IMG_0099_zps7c6a662d.jpg  photo IMG_0115_zpsc40bd5d3.jpg  photo IMG_0113_zps96e0df0c.jpg  photo IMG_0089_zps19769d28.jpg  photo IMG_0118_zpse8453224.jpg  photo IMG_0107_zpsa3b89bca.jpg  photo IMG_0082_zps25a32393.jpg  photo IMG_0110_zpsa8ba56d7.jpg  photo photo5_zpsfe5d1d79.jpg  photo photo4_zpsb2670cd6.jpg  photo photo7_zpsf6c49504.jpg  photo photo1_zpsd96717c7.jpg  photo photo2_zps2d329820.jpg    photo photo3_zps98a4932a.jpg  photo photo6_zps3a53aec7.jpg

Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet fetches record $1.4 million at auction

Mon, Oct 9 2017

Alas, G-Wagen fans: The last available 2017 Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet has sold to a private Belgian buyer, with all proceeds to benefit the children's sports charity the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation. The price tag at the Zoute Sale at Bonhams was a record ˆ1.2 million, or about $1.4 million. We previously dubbed the luxury off-roader " the ultimate safari machine" for its super-extravagant features. Its soft top can be raised or lowered electronically, as can a glass partition to the driver's compartment (wouldn't be a Landaulet without that, now would it, Jeeves?). What's more, the two rear seats can be fully reclined, with leg rests extending from below, and with access to folding tables, 10-inch LCD screen and heated, cooled and illuminated (!) cup holders. As it has the number 650 in its name, however, the Landaulet also features a twin-turbocharged V12 that generates 630 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. Bringing up the G-Wagen part of the bargain is a four-wheel-drive system with front, center, and rear differential locks, that sends power to solid portal axles front and rear, which move the differential and drive axles above the wheel centers for additional ground clearance. The grandest G sold Friday in Brussels was reportedly straight from the factory and one of only 99 to be built. No G650 Landaulets were sold in the United States. The Bonhams Motoring Department's fifth annual Zoute Sale also saw the purchase of a 1968 Ferrari 365 GTC Coupe for ˆ805,000 euros ($945,000), the second most-valuable lot of the sale.

How long will the 'golden age' of performance last?

Sat, Mar 26 2016

High-powered sports and luxury cars were everywhere at the New York Auto Show, prompting the obvious question for enthusiasts: How long will this golden age of performance last? Industry leaders have some time before regulations elevate the Corporate Average Fuel Economy level in 2025. Even then, they expect cars rippling with power to survive in some form. "Is it the end of an era," I don't think so," said Ola Kallenius, Daimler AG board member for Mercedes-Benz cars marketing and sales. "That performance element of individual mobility I don't think will ever go away." Kallenius, who oversaw the company's AMG division from 2010-2013, expects it to continue to grow. Last year, AMG sold a record 68,875 units around the world, an increase of 44.6 percent over 2014, with strong growth in the US, China, and Germany. Still, there's always the potential for gas to spike, and pending fuel economy regulations are looming. That could lead AMG to add electrification to its products, Kallenius said, pointing to the electric SLS as a test case. Chevy is also thinking ahead, said Al Oppenheiser, chief engineer of the Camaro. He wouldn't bite when asked about electrification for the Camaro (he did say "never say never"), but admitted in 2025 "it's going to be pretty tough to sell V8s." For now, things are rosy for muscle cars, and Chevy confidently showcased the 640-hp Camaro ZL1 in coupe and convertible form in New York. "I think that this is truly the golden age of performance," Oppenheiser said. It's hard to disagree. News & Analysis News: The 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF was a show-stopper in New York. Analysis: There was a palpable energy when this RF — for Retractable Fastback — was revealed the night before the show at a trendy off-site venue near the Hudson River. Even as a parade of SUVs and flashy luxury cars rolled out the rest of the week, the Miata remained a hot topic. The Retractable Fastback is really a clever targa top, with part of the roof stowing behind the seats, adding about 100 pounds compared to the standard convertible. It makes the car more practical and arguably more attractive. The RF continues Mazda's tradition of selling the Miata with a hardtop variant. The first and second generations offered a detachable one, and a power retractable hardtop (a $1,700 option) was available on third-gen models. Judging by its reception in New York, the RF could prove to be even more popular than its predecessors.

Mercedes-Maybach SUV concept: Vision Ultimate Luxury interior teased

Wed, Apr 18 2018

Mercedes-Maybach posted a teaser video of what it calls "the ultimate in luxury" last week, saying that the featured, yet-to-be-named vehicle would be presented in the Beijing Motor Show. Now there's a teaser sketch giving us a wider look of the concept's interior, as well as a name. The concept also has a name by now: the Vision Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury. We guess that might have been coming, even if the name isn't exactly concise. But, the accompanying release also informs us that the concept is a combination of a high-end sedan and an SUV, confirming that it is indeed the high-riding vehicle that's been rumored for a while. The interior sketch also shows a very wide center console with stylized grab handles, which suit the SUV dimensions and aesthetic, without being as trucklike as the Maybach G650 Landaulet's interior. As well as the lavish two-tone color scheme and the touch of wood on the door panel, the concept interior shows a wide color instrument display ahead of the driver. The gear selectors are paddle shifters next to the chunky steering wheel rim, and the controls seem to have been grouped on the wheel's spokes, leaving just a few switches on the dashboard. Autocar reports that the concept will be followed by a 2019 production version, slated to debut at the Los Angeles show at the end of this year. It would be based on the Mercedes-Benz GLS, but with a more bespoke design inside out, as hinted by the concept. Basing it on the GLS would mean Mercedes would be manufacturing it at the Tuscaloosa plant in Alabama, making it the first Maybach built in the U.S. Related Video: Image Credit: Mercedes-Maybach Beijing Motor Show Maybach Mercedes-Benz SUV Concept Cars Luxury mercedes-maybach
