1984 Mercedes 380SE Euro with AMG add-ons. 96,100 original miles, car is in wonderful original condition. Always garaged - the previous owner had the car for the last 21 years and spared no expense in maintenance and upkeep. The car has now just over 96,000 miles; since 1992, he put about 1,700 miles per year on the car, driving it only on special occasions.

NOTE - the VIN listed by Ebay is incorrect as I can't get it to recognize a Euro VIN. The actual VIN is WDB1260321A099516.

I have records for the car going back to 1987, when it was legally imported and modified. It arrived in the US on May 17, 1987, traveling on the M/S Pacific Breeze from Bremerhaven to Houston. The original owner paid over $6,000 for DOT modifications, customs brokers and fees, and initial registration. (That's $12,100+ in today's dollars.) Major recent services include:

95,800 miles: new Bosch fuel distributor, Bosch fuel accumulator, and transmission modulator $750

94,340 miles: new calipers, brakes, sensors, brake flush $905

93,481 miles: new cats to pass emissions $730

90,085 miles: front end overhaul, including drag link, idler bushing, control arm and strut guide bushings, tie rods, new hood pad, radiator hoses, 90,000 mile service, trans filter and service, alignment, etc. $2,540

89,670 miles: brake service, coolant flush, new expansion tank, oil change $364

86,230 miles: R&R transmission, reseal rear main, R&R injectors and fuel accumulator, new starter, trans service $1,463

85,826 miles: new exhaust, trans reseal, crankshaft seal $2,307

78,578 miles: timing chain replacement, new cats $1,720

Lots of oil and filter changes spread throughout here as well, sometimes with only 400-500 miles between changes.

The car does not leak anything. It has passed emissions here in Maricopa county (Phoenix) for the last 20+ years, although a few times it has required an "emissions tune" (leaning out the fuel) which any MB mechanic or shade-tree diy-er can do, and un-do, in about an hour.

Everything on the inside works except the clock, which has decided to keep its own time. This includes windows (all 4 power, not just the front), sunroof, cold AC, heat, cruise control, power driver's seat, fog lights, ABS, even the power lumbar support which is adjustable by a dial on the side of the seat, as well as the adjustable Euro headlights (3 positions up and down.) The wood trim is mostly very nice, with a few of the normal cracks and de-lamination as shown in the photos.

The paint is original and has a nice shine overall, with a few chips and dings noticeable if you look hard. No rust. The car rides on lowered AMG springs and shocks and has a firm but not harsh ride. Even with the 205/70 14 tires, it feels very solid, comfortable, and safe. Unfortunately, the 16" AMG Pentas were sold 8 years ago. Also missing is the fabulous AMG front spoiler, which, as you can tell by the photos, suffered a few too many parking incidents. (If the car does not sell, I will put an aftermarket front spoiler on. All you W126 guys - feel free to send me your recommendations for the best front air dam out there to install.)

I'm sure I've missed a few details so please contact me for questions or to just talk about the old sedans. Remember, it is not perfect - it's a 29 year old car. I'm hoping she goes to a MB enthusiast who will give her a great home.

Thanks, Jeff

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.
