See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"this car is 35 years old and honestlty looks like it just rolled off of the showroom floor. everything about it is close to perfect. there is minimal deterioration of rugs, and what there is is result of age not use. Vinyl seats are perfect.l A couple of typical cracks over dash which are pictured. NO rust, below or above. Dime sized place on trunk lid that is beginning to bubble. Mercedes this old and in this kind of pristine condition is RARE."

Up for sale is my 1978 300D. This car has never been in an accident and the body has virtually no dings or scratches. Likewise NO rust, below or above. Deep lustrous silver is original paint and it looks better than paint on brand new cars, my opinion. Engine is beautiful, original, strong and surprisingly quiet. LOW miles and everyone knows these cars will go and go if oil is kept changed every 3000. Example: the fiberglass bonnet under hood is perfect, no burns or stains, ditto the bottom of trunk lid. Tires are 6 months old, less than 3000 miles on them. The interior is in same pristine condition. A really beautiful blue color (vinyl, which doesn't rot) which looks great with the  silver exterior. AC works amazing, monster compressor on this car. Heat also works great. Power windows yes. Back windows a little stuttery halfway down but i never use them so it didn't bother me. Head ceiling is white and perfect, no tears or stains. Carpets haver deteriorated a little in back but this is due to age. I didn't disturb them. They look fine, just fragile. Front rugs are good. Original Becker radio and front/rear speakers sound great.  I bought this on ebay a year ago and it had 89 thousand miles. I love the car and am selling it only because i need the cash. Feel free to ask any questions and i will do my best to answer.

2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA priced from $31,300*

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

Mercedes-Benz has kindly let loose the price of the 2015 GLA-Class, telling Autoblog.com that the base 208-horsepower GLA250 in two-wheel drive will go for $31,300 *not including a destination charge of $925. That makes for $32,225 in total to get one off the lot, a price predicted as early as last year and in our recent First Drive. The other two available models can push power to all four wheels, and after the destination fee is applied the GLA240 4Matic (pictured) will be $34,225 while the 355-horsepower GLA45 AMG will change lives and wallets to the tune of $49,225.
On the base scale, that puts the GLA250 just a few hundred dollar bills above the more powerful, rear-wheel drive BMW X1 and a stack of hundreds below the less powerful, front-wheel drive Audi Q3. If you're keeping in-house score, the GLA250 comes in at $1,400 above its sedan platform-mate with the same engine, the CLA250. At the high end, however, the competition doesn't have anything that can touch the AMG trim. Not that it should matter all that much - Mercedes needed something to keep these buyers in the family, and now they have it. If any of them should need even more power and more money spent, then there's always that 394-hp Brabus flavor. We'll have more info and details on each trim when Mercedes unleashes the shebang in the not-too-distant future.

Test drive the Mercedes SLS AMG Electric Drive with Chris Harris

Thu, 11 Apr 2013

It's hard to not like the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT. The all-aluminum coupe is fitted with a wonderful naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. Not only does the burly combustion engine launch the two-seater to 60 miles per hour in less than four seconds, but it does so with one of the world's greatest exhaust soundtracks as it roars, burbles and cackles down the road.
But what happens when Mercedes-Benz takes away the V8 and its accompanying fire-burning song? Stripped of one of its most appealing assets, does the SLS lose its soul?
Chris Harris recently had the opportunity to take the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive for a track spin in Europe. Sans gasoline, but with four electric motors providing a combined 740 horsepower (737 pound-feet of torque), all-electric all-wheel drive coupe uses sophisticated torque vectoring and a multi-mode operating system to put oversteer - drifting! - back into the equation. Fun? You bet. See for yourself, below.

Mercedes has already booked 30k orders for new S-Class

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

When Toyota snags 30,000 Corolla orders over a three-month span, it's entirely possible we're in the midst of a global economic collapse and that the end is nigh. That's because the scale for Toyota is so very large. Mercedes-Benz, on the other hand, operates on a much smaller scale, particularly when we talk about its higher-end models, like the S-Class.
In 2012, Mercedes sold 65,000 of its flagship sedans in Germany and the EU. That's 178 units per day, for 365 days. Based on that, you can imagine the excitement at Stuttgart when it accepted 30,000 orders for the new S-Class in just three months. That's an average of 333 per day on a continent with a notoriously shaky economy. Now, admittedly, this enthusiasm could wane as the refitted S-Class becomes more common and Mercedes achieves market saturation in Europe's many chauffeur and livery services, but Mercedes isn't choosing to look at it that way.
"The new S-Class has already jumped back into the lead in terms of new vehicle registrations in Germany and its neighboring European countries," Mercedes-Benz head of sales and marketing, Ola Kaellenius, said in a statement last week.
