1973 Mercedes-benz 350SE
Here is a nice example of a classic W116 bodied Benz. This lovely 350SE has been in my possesion since 2009 and before that it was in the possesion of the same family who brought it over from Germany some 20 years ago where they also owned it! The car comes with a clean carproof report, is lien free, with Ontario registration, the original books and brochure. If you are looking for a 100-point collector car or trailer queen then this is not for you. This is a good, solid driver with approx. 202,000 well loved KM. The car has some minor surface spots but the body is very, very solid. This is NOT a rust bucket by any means. The windows, molding and trim is all there and complete. The interior is also very nice and clean with no major rips or cracks. The previous owner wanted a spolier on the back which was very unappealing and so I took it off. This spoiler left 4 holes in the trunk lid unfortunatly. Other than that, the car runs and drive very good with no major smoke or leaks. I have had it around our dealership as a centerpiece for years and have enjoy a couple great drives in it. But it is time for it to go. Will not need much for a safety as per my techs, who also gave this SE two thumbs up on the undercarage and overall condition. I will gladly do the Ontario safety certifcation on this old classic at the right offer. As for the etest there are no worries as it's a 73. The car is in storage at my residence over the winter months. If you are serious and want to view it please call or email.
This auction is set up too receive offers only. reasonable offers only please. Have all funds, questions asked, inspections done PRIOR to making an offer. I watch all offers carefully so please only bid if you are serious are are taking this car 100%. In the meantime if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to message me or call. I have been a very reliable seller since 2001 on eBay which can easily be seen in my extensive feedback (Also see username "vsr.automobiles"). I also can arrange shipping anywhere with very good rates. I am a registered Ontario and therefore applicable taxes do apply.
Thanks for stopping by.

Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets
Tue, Jul 17 2018Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.
Mercedes to market Tesla-powered 2014 B-Class EV in U.S.
Thu, 05 Jul 2012Looks like another Tesla Motors investor will be looking to cash in on their connection. Autoweek reports Mercedes-Benz will offer their B-Class in the U.S. with Tesla propulsion.
The magazine says their source at the German automaker confirms plans for a B-Class electric-only vehicle. While Tesla already provides battery packs for the battery-powered Smart ForTwo, the B-Class EV will reportedly have Tesla batteries, motor and other components. U.S. residents should be able to procure one sometime in 2014.
The same Mercedes source says plans for a hybrid B-Class have been postponed for now. Adding a range-extending, gasoline-powered engine to an electric vehicle would put the car into a different class for which rebates and incentives aren't as favorable in the States.
