1979 Mercedes 450SLC Sports Coupe.

This is a very cool looking car. It has 88,000 miles and has had a recent paint job. The front seats and the rear back seat has new leather. Carpets are all good. Wheels are like brand new and tires are basically brand new (2,000 miles). There was some body work done before the paint job. Some metal was cut out and replaced if the rust was starting to go through and some fiberglass was added in a few spots where rust started but hadn't gone through. The lower fender skirts were added on each side to cover up the original dented and rusted rockers. You would never know they were from a SL model - they look great. The paint would have been great if they had wet sanded it but they didn't. It looks great from 5 feet but if you are up close and look there is some dust marks etc in the paint. I am not a paint person so I don't know if you could still wet sand to bring out the perfect paint or not. Chrome is all real good.

The interior as stated before looks great. There are a couple of issues. the original radio is included (not installed) but I have no idea if it works. I know the antenna would need to be replaced, but as far the rest - I do not know. The heater / AC controls are all there but one side of the mounting bracket is broke. It is attached so you would never know but trying to disclose everything. The cruise control doesn't work and the A/C doesn't work. All components for A/C are there but just doesn't work. Should need it for cruising on a nice summer day. All other components seem to wok fine.

The car is a little cold blooded in very cold weather. In the summer or in warm storage it fires right up. It runs out great and seems to need nothing mechanically. There is a small leak in the auxillary water pump. It will leak a little coolant. It is a $90 part from EcklersMBZparts.

This is a great car that you can jump in and drive or bring to the local shows (almost guaranteed only one there). It will never be a show car unless you can correct the paint and do a frame off restoration. But it is certainly a great 7 out of 10 car.

This car would probably be priced around low to average retail by most collector car dealers. I want to make this car go away as I lost my storage space for my toys. My reserve is thousands below low retail!

$500 deposit through PayPal within 24 hours and balance within 7 days.

If you need shipment buyer will make all arrangements.

I would believe you could fly in and drive this car home anywhere, but it is a 35 year old car so I can't make any guarantees.

Maybach lost upwards of $500k on each vehicle sold

Wed, 08 Feb 2012

Daimler is shuttering Maybach in 2013 after seven years of production. In that time, the company's ultra-ultra-luxury arm managed to sell just 3,000 units, and CAR reports Daimler lost somewhere around $500,000 on each and every one of them.
Even with a ludicrous price tag of over $370,000 for an "entry" Maybach 57, the brand couldn't quite recoup the dizzying $1.33 billion Daimler poured into it since its (re)inception. Rumors ignited over a possible tie up with Aston Martin that would have resulted in a range of new and attractive models, but Daimler has instead decided to snuff out Maybach altogether.
We can hardly blame them.

Economy-car buyers increasingly get the best deal on technology

Mon, Apr 16 2018

One of the great things about technology is – with the exception of Apple products Â– consumers get more for their money every year. For example, the first 1GB USB drive I bought in 2005 cost me $30. Today you can get 10 for that price, delivered to your door thanks to Amazon. The same goes for car tech. Features such as navigation and Bluetooth started out on high-end vehicles before trickling down to entry-level cars. Same with driver assist features ranging from rearview cameras to forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking Â— so now it's not only rich people who are protected in car crashes. I've found that this democratization of tech has reached a point where amenities on low-cost cars can be as good Â— and sometimes even better Â— than those on vehicles costing tens of thousands of dollars more. While attending a media event for the launch of the all-new 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback, I was impressed by the car's cool styling and go-kart performance. Equally noteworthy is the amount of standard tech on the low-cost hot hatch. (Pricing will be announced later this month, but expect it to come in a bit higher that the current Corolla iM's roughly $19,000 base.) Even the base SE CVT trim of the 2019 Corolla Hatchback comes with an 8-inch touchscreen and Toyota's Entune 3.0 infotainment system. Among other features, Entune 3.0 provides Wi-Fi capability, Amazon Alexa connectivity, the Entune App Suite for integration of smartphone apps such as Pandora and Yelp and, for the first time in a Toyota, Apple CarPlay (but no Android Auto). The 2019 Corolla Hatchback is also the first North American vehicle to get the second-generation Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) suite of driver assists that's also standard on the base model. TSS 2.0 includes Toyota's Pre-Collision System (forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking) with new daytime and low-light pedestrian detection and daytime cyclist detection features, lane keeping and lane departure alert with steering assist, auto high beams, adaptive cruise control, and road sign detection. While the 2019 Corolla Hatchback sets a new benchmark in standard tech on a budget-mobile, competing cars aren't far behind. The 2018 Honda Fit LX, for example, includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning and assist and adaptive cruise, while the automaker's Lane Departure Mitigation and Lane Watch camera system is added the two top trims.
