 Good Day, I am selling my 1987 Mercedes benz 300 SDL luxury edition. A wise family member once told me that when you buy a used car you're not buying a car so much as you are buying the person selling it. Keeping that in mind I want to be as honest and forthcoming with the information provided in this listing as possible. I bought this vehicle from an acquaintance who bought it from a local dealer who bought it from an auction out here in Las Vegas. The car has passed through the hands of several owners. Being that this is easily a collector's car this is nothing out of the ordinary. I have a detailed background check through "auto-check" so you may see for yourself.

I have a clean and clear title in hand. The vehicle runs well. Everything works: powered locks, powered windows (except rear passenger window does not have power, may need a new mount , not a hard fix), motor controlled seat adjustment still works great, all lights work, and mirrors.

The engine is a 3 liter 6-cylinder diesel engine. My experience with these engines tell me they are true work horses and can virtually outlive the roads on which they drive. The car does need to be started in neutral if she is not warmed up , when warmed up she will start just fine from park (This is caused by the "neutral safety switch" which can easily be replaced, the part runs anywhere from $50-$75 new. This "DOES NOT" affect how she drives.)
 
She also has brand new tires installed. Original paint,  some oxidation on the roof and the hood but she still shines.The interior of the car could some tlc and work when it comes to the aesthetics , of which do not compromise the usability of the car. The glove box stays open as the latch needs to be repaired. The seats are a little cracked up, age has taken its toll on the center wood panel . Passenger seat will also need to be fixed as the left side of the seat has a broken weld allowing it to lean further back then it should when sitting in it. There is also a tear on the upper middle portion of the rear seats as well as a few on the lower portion of the rear seats.


Things to keep in mind when looking at this car. This is a collectible classic. Mercedes only produced 13,830 of these cars and were only in production for two years, 1986 and 1987. they were sold only in the U.S. and Canada. It was a luxurious vehicle that in its heyday off the lot would cost buyers $45,000-$50,000, and these were prices from 27 years ago.

What I tried to capture is  everything I would like to see if I was looking at this vehicle. I didn't spruce her up or try to make her look like anything she isn't. She could use a little wash and vacuuming. If there is anything else I could do for you please feel free to let me know, I am available to take more pictures and answer any of your questions.





Information to the auction winner:
Payment is due in full within 3 days of the auction's close. I would prefer to shake your hand and give you the keys, title, and bill of sale in person , however if you cant pick up the vehichle in person we can make arrangments . Once payment in full has been recieved If you are not able to make it down for me to hand you the the title and bill of sale in person I will send certified mail the title and a completed bill of sale ( of which you will still need to sign once it reaches you). All signatures on the bill of sale must be original. If you are able to make it to Las Vegas to pick the vehicle up I am not against going to the dmv with you to assure smooth transfer of ownership out of good faith. It will however be up to you to arrange pickup or the shipping of this vehicle.  I understand arrangements may need to be made so Im flexible on when you need to take her, Just dont leave me waiting a month for somebody to come and bring her home, as Im not a storage unit... Good luck and I am sure it will be a pleasure doing business with you.


On Mar-11-13 at 22:18:05 PDT, seller added the following information:

I would also like to add that I had a mechanic look it over before I bought it, you are welcome to do the same. Send me a message to set up the details if you would like to have somebody look at it or if you would like to see it yourself, I will check frequently. The car is sold as it is. Good luck to you all.

Maybach and Aston Martin alliance talks fall apart

Tue, 27 Sep 2011

If you have, like us, been salivating at the notion of a new generation of Maybach and Lagonda ultra-luxury crafts built by Aston Martin, we've got some bad news: According to reports emanating from Germany, talks between AML and Daimler have broken down.
The proposal under negotiation would have seen Daimler outsourcing production of the next family of Maybach models to Aston Martin, which in return would benefit from Mercedes-Benz platforms and engines - not only for its svelte GTs, but also for its own future Lagonda line of limousines and luxury SUVs. That, and a boatload of money - or at least that's what AML was reportedly seeking, an issue that served as the stumbling block over which the deal reportedly collapsed.
That's not to say the two parties couldn't still reach some sort of a compromise, but short of that, Daimler may opt to either shut down Maybach altogether, find another partner, or take another stab at building new models internally.

Car dealers, factories and ports close in the path of Hurricane Florence

Thu, Sep 13 2018

Hurricane Florence has caused CarMax to close four stores in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. The closed locations are in Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Winterville and Virginia Beach. It is possible for the company to close more stores, reports Automotive News. Daimler and Volvo have also shuttered their manufacturing facilities in the region to prepare for Florence. The storm is expected to reach North Carolina and South Carolina today or tomorrow. Automotive News says every coastal car dealer it reached on Tuesday was closing, and others not in the projected landfall area were monitoring the situation. There are approximately nine million vehicles in operation in the area that Florence is expected to hit, with a vehicle density of 162 vehicles per square mile. It is likely that not as many vehicles will be lost as during hurricanes Harvey and Irma, as population is less dense; areas affected by those storms had over 300 vehicles per square mile. The chief economist of Cox Automotive told Automotive News that some 20,000 to 40,000 vehicles could end up flooded if Florence keeps its path; however, recent reports have indicated Florence has weakened to a category 2 hurricane on Thursday. Tesla has again unlocked more range for some of its older models to make evacuation easier; the same was done a year ago in preparation for Hurricane Irma. As well as automotive manufacturers and dealers, automotive transport providers are readying for the storm and clearing cargo away. The container and auto terminals at Port Charleston will be closed from Thursday to Saturday, affecting part shipments to the BMW manufacturing facility in Spartanburg; BMW's spokespersons have said no production disruption is expected. Parts are delivered via railroad to Spartanburg by Norfolk Southern, which is also suspending operations for the time being. Vehicle hauler United Road has moved its rigs to safer regions and suspended deliveries, and car carrier vessels are trying to make it away from the storm's path in time.

New details emerge on forthcoming Mercedes-Benz SLC

Sat, 02 Feb 2013

Last we heard, the Mercedes-Benz SLC had been put on indefinite hold, but now Car Magazine is reporting that the Porsche 911-fighting "Baby SLS" coupe could be on sale by 2015. Riding on a modified SLS AMG chassis, the smaller and lighter SLC could be priced in the sub-$100,000 price bracket.
We'd already heard that the new car would feature conventional doors (instead of SLS-like gullwing doors), but this report focuses on some of the possible powertrains Mercedes-Benz is likely to use. At launch, the SLC could offer a pair of V8-powered models - a 485-horsepower SLC and a 585-hp SLC S - both being powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. About a year after launch, a new V6 model could emerge giving the SLC an estimated 333 horsepower and its lowest price point.
It also sounds like the car's name hasn't been completely finalized as some people within Mercedes are favoring a return of the SLR name.
