The last of the great series of W123's.  The TD is in wonderful condition commensurate with it's age.  I'll be the first to say it's not perfect.  That being said, the car is air tight with no leaks in the sunroof or door/windows.  Originally a Florida car, it has no rust that I can see except the rear left lower rocker panel area.  It's minimal, but it is there.  The exterior, other than that, is very good.  Yes, there are scratches and probably 5 to 6 door dings when you get up close.  The engine starts right up every time, even in the coldest temperatures in Oklahoma.  Drives very straight.  I don't live in the US and have driven the car only a few times this year.  I believe it does need service to make it run like it should.  So with service to bring it up to the standard it should be, the car would be rock solid.  Condition of the seats and upholstery is excellent; the carpet I would rate as average.  Headliner and sunroof are excellent; sunroof works just fine.

I've included pictures, but if you have questions or need more info, just ask and I'll let you know anything I know.  The reserve is pretty low compared to the other TD's I've seen here and on other trader sites.  I will help arrange shipping or pick up, but can't deliver.  

The car is currently having the major service done.  New motor mounts and transmission mount also.  The car will run wonderfully when it's finished with the service.  The A/C system was changed to the new freon system by the previous owner(unknown to me when I bought the car) and the heater does not work.  I've been told it's a vacuum problem created when the A/C was converted and is fixable.  Might have more information when they are in there for the major service.  Hazard lights do not work right now.  Locks work, but they are slow like most older vacuum system items.  Antenna is unplugged, but the radio is the original and does turn on and off.  Seats are in great condition, but there are a few trim items that aren't perfect.  IE., netting on the back of the seat is not connected at the bottom. Crazy the guy that sold this to me said it was perfect.  And I believed him without checking it out.  Don't be fooled by the Ebay vehicle purchase protection, they will not help you get satisfaction at all when it involves a vehicle of this age.  I am not like that and will answer all questions regarding this car.  Getting more pictures will be difficult, as I'm in Asia and the car is in Tulsa.  But, I will describe anything you ask and feel free to have the vehicle inspected.

Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet is the ultimate safari machine

Mon, Feb 13 2017

Update: A Mercedes representative has informed us that the Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet will not be available in the United States. The text has been updated to reflect this. Vehicles such as the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6 and G500 4x42 are all well and good, but they have one key issue: They simply aren't extravagant enough. Now we know that sounds insane because one of those vehicles has six driven wheels and the other is available in tennis-ball green. But they must not be decadent enough because Mercedes went a step further with the new Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet. While the most obvious change here is the soft-top, which will make this perfect for the wealthy to view wildlife on private safaris, we should start under the hood. The previous two monster G-Wagens made do with lowly V8s. This one features a twin-turbocharged V12 making 630 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. Like its predecessors, this G650 uses a four-wheel-drive system with front, center, and rear differential locks, and sends power to solid portal axles front and rear. These axles move the differential and drive axles above the wheel centers for additional ground clearance. Inside, the rear passengers will be in the lap of luxury, even while the driver is navigating particularly harsh terrain. The soft top can be electrically raised or lowered, as can a glass partition to the driver's compartment. The two individual rear seats can be fully reclined, and leg rests deploy from below, taking full advantage of the truck's long wheelbase. This would likely make for an amazing vehicle for stargazing. The passengers also have access to folding tables, 10-inch LCD displays, and heated, cooled, and illuminated cup holders. Only 99 of these G650s will be built. Mercedes will show the SUV at this year's Geneva show, and it will hit the market this fall. Mercedes hasn't announced pricing, but expect it to be exorbitant. Not that matters for American buyers, since a Mercedes representative told us it won't be offered in the States. For buyers in countries where the G650 will be available, they will have the option of four interior color schemes, three soft-top colors, and four paint hues. Related Video:

In Which Mercedes' Sprinter Becomes A Long-Distance Sherpa
In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
As I am about to nod off on my long leg flight from Minneapolis to Anchorage ahead of driving to the Arctic Circle, the friendly twenty-something Alaskan knitting furiously in the seat next to me pauses and says, "When you're driving up there, don't open your windows." In the dead of winter? I hadn't planned on cruising alfresco, but her warning to keep the glazing snugged against the weatherstripping is one I would take to heart. She continues: "If you leave 'em open, a fox is liable to jump right in. There are lots of rabid foxes up there, and they leap into your car and just Go. To. Town." And here I was, thinking that a curious bear or maybe an ill-placed moose in the road was going to be my biggest potential four-legged threat. In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

Make way for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, the most wonderfully preposterous car I have ever driven.
There is absolutely no reason why any two-seat roadster should be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 developing 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, but I sure am glad that Mercedes-Benz doesn't see things that way.
Drop into the leather-lined cockpit of this $213,145 provocateur, floor the accelerator pedal as I did over and over again, and 60 miles per hour falls in a traction-limited 3.9 seconds. Top speed has been electronically held to 186 mph (this apparently saves Gulfstream jet owners from embarrassment). Forget the SL550 and SL63 AMG, the valets will trip over themselves attending to the tycoon driving this thoroughbred - it's the real deal.
