Beautiful Silver 1976 Mercedes-benz 450 Sel Low Mileage Executive Trim Low Rsrv on 2040-cars

The Mercedes-Benz W116 is a series of flagship vehicles produced from September 1972 until 1979. The W116 automobiles were the first Mercedes-Benz models to be officially called S-Class. In a poll conducted by Britain's Classic & Sports Car magazine and printed in their April 1999 edition, the Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL ranked fourth on their list of the "world's greatest saloons."
This example is Silver with Navy Blue Leather interior, woodgrain dash accents, chrome trim, M117 engine (V8 with 4,520 cc displacement), power antenna, and lots of rare high-end options including integrated fog lights on the front bumper, original color-matched mercedes-benz logo hubcaps, alpine stereo w/ cassette deck, and a power sun roof with polarized windscreen. Very LOW miles for a 1976 - 90,436 miles. This car was babied by both owners, smoke-free and kept in heated garages. Car was purchased new by an executive at the Ohio Art Company (Makers of the Etch-a-Sketch toy). The current owner was a friend of the original owner and purchased the car in the late 70s. This car has tons of power, luxury and room! The 450SE sedans were widely considered one of the best cars for the money in their day, with a 190-hp fuel-injected, 4.5-liter SOHC V8, three-speed automatic transmission, independent suspension and disc brakes all round, and standard air conditioning. The SEL stretched the wheelbase four inches for back seat passengers. Condition: As you can see from the photos, this car is in very good condition considering its age. The engine starts up on command and purrs! It still has loads of power and can make it up to 100mph without trying with an exceedingly quiet passenger compartment. The dash and rear deck are in excellent condition. The rubber is in good condition. Tires in good condition. It has had a recent oil/filters/fluids change/check within the last week. The local Mercedes dealership believes it is one of the best examples in the area. That said, it has indicators of use. There are a couple of small scuff marks on the rear of the front seats (see photos). The rear seat needs a replacement rubberized horsehair (original) cushion (or a cheaper foam one is also available after market). There are wear marks on the carpet in the driver's compartment. The rubber pad on the brake pedal needs to be replaced. The radio works but the cassette deck needs to be serviced (dealership said that it only requires minor repair). The windscreen was recently replaced and the company that did it damaged the chrome trim around the front window (see photos). We are including the original window trim pieces as well as the quote and parts list from the Mercedes dealership. Additionally with this sale are included two (2) extra chrome Mercedes Logo hubcaps and a chrome Mercedes hood ornament. This car is perfect for the right owner. It is in near perfect shape but still needs a little love and a little work to get there. Wouldn't be selling it if we had the choice. This is your opportunity to own a true stylish classic. We have a very LOW Reserve on this car. Terms: $1000.00 within 24 hrs of end of auction from the winning bidder and cash or Paypal within 7 days. Pick-up or transport plans must be made within 7 days of end of auction. Cost of taxes, transfer fees, and transportation is the responsibility of the winning bidder. Thank you for your interest. |

BMW, Mercedes ponder challengers to Uber
Fri, Sep 18 2015With autonomous vehicles seemingly just on the horizon of actually arriving to consumers, companies in the auto industry are already thinking about how the innovations could radically change how they do business. For example, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are considering a time where they might transform into ridesharing companies, according to Reuters. It almost sounds like the sci-fi motoring world Bob Lutz is predicting. The German brands foresee a future where some people hail their driverless cars like taxis and use them for short trips. The automakers could run those fleets, essentially making them Uber competitors. In fact, Tesla is reportedly mulling the idea, and Google might be, too. Alternatively, ridesharing services could buy the companies' models directly. "New mobility concepts will emerge with autonomous vehicles, which are robot cars. Fleet management will become a much more significant business," Peter Schwarzenbauer, BMW board of management member in charge of Mini, said to Reuters. With BMW's DriveNow and Daimler's Car2Go car-sharing services, both automakers are already experimenting with alternative ways to get their vehicles on the road. It's not too hard to imagine one of the brand's peppering a few autonomous cars into those fleets someday to test these new theories in the real world. "The ability to use a car, and then walk away is a serious business," Ian Robertson, BMW's head of sales and marketing, said about the future of driverless tech to Reuters. Related Video:

Mercedes-Benz to build new ML coupe-crossover in Alabama in 2015
Fri, 05 Sep 2014Mercedes-Benz will expand its factory in Tuscaloosa, AL, to build the ML Coupe, a new crossover that will join its lineup in 2015. Mercedes will also ramp up production to build facelifted versions of the M-Class and GL-Class SUVs, lifting the factory's total production capacity to about 300,000 units annually in 2015. It made 185,000 vehicles in 2013. In addition to SUVs, the Tuscaloosa site also makes the C-Class sedan.
The plans come as part of Mercedes' strategy to capitalize on Americans' increasing demands for SUVs. The company said the SUV market was up 12 percent in first half of 2014, and expects it to grow at twice the rate of the regular market in 2015 and 2016.
"We are seeing climbing demand for SUVs." - Dieter Zetsche
