Includes both soft and hard top, full-size spare on Mercedes rim, original first-aid kit and toolkit. A/C, cruise, leather. Very good condition, Lady-driven, mostly-summer car. Everything works except ORIGINAL cassette deck doesn't play and antenna is stuck. My favourite eBay parts supplier recommended having the cassette deck rebuilt, but I like the radio just fine. Will include replacement antenna to install yourself. Also have extra set of turn signals, since these tend to take a beating due to their location on the car.
Has needed very little in the way of repairs while I've had it, comparable to an average, much-younger car. I have loved and cared for this car since 2007, and am, to my knowledge, only the third owner of this car. My Dad had purchased it from a dealership (part of an estate sale I think, it had been parked for years) and had it for only a few months before I talked him into selling it to me. Now I''ve bought an older home and need a new furnace, hot water tank, paint, flooring, bathroom…and no longer have a garage in which to store this lovely old girl during the winter. And so must part with this luxurious, safe, surprisingly fun beauty.
CAVEATS:
* Original paint has had significant touch-ups laid over top, due to inevitable dings in paint from driving on Alberta highways, parking where careless people also park, and life in general. Paint was custom-blended to match the original using the proper colour code. It needs a good sanding/buffing/polishing, for which I can include a small collection of products and even a buffing machine.
** I have had 3 small panels replaced, namely in front of and behind the rear wheel on the driver's side and under the rear bumper. This was part of a rust remediation done in the spring of 2012, in which the rocker panels were also sandblasted and recoated. Parts used were taken from a Mercedes of the same vintage, so everything is still correct. There is a small spot of rust on each side near the rear wheel, I can take closeup photos of that or anything else you'd like details on. There is rust in the front end as well, I have treated everything I can reach in the front end with a rust inhibitor spray. My "car guy" father assures me this is normal and not substantial, I can take some closeup photos if needed. Even so, I dropped the price by $2000 from my previous, well-researched asking price to compensate you in advance for any trouble.
***Generally, needs a little TLC, as would be expected with any classic car, but overall in very good condition. Not in mint condition, but those that are generally run about double my asking price.Truly, an excellent value for the quality and condition of the vehicle. If you would like more specifics, please email me. I have found eBay to be a great source for parts when needed, so if you are inclined to pretty her up to impress your friends, coworkers or the local classic car club, or just that special someone, you can always do a little tinkering.
All statements are true in my opinion and to the best of my knowledge.
I will cooperate with you to have vehicle inspected locally if requested.
I work for a living and am moving plus renovating, so please be patient if I do not answer inquiries immediately.
I will make every effort to respond quickly to any queries.
By the way, her name is "Betty Blue."

Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet is the ultimate safari machine
Mon, Feb 13 2017Update: 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:
Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG coming to the New York Auto Show
Tue, 05 Mar 2013Mercedes-Benz showed off the CLA45 AMG at a private event on the eve of the Geneva Motor Show, but was determined not to let it be photographed. We can talk about it, though - after all, a teaser image was released to promote the new Sony game Drive Club. The CLA45 AMG will use the same powertrain as the A45 AMG, which means a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. And that means a small four-door coupe sedan with the highest horsepower-per-liter in the segment. It will shift through the same seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, should also run out of speed at 155 miles per hour and have that three-stage stability control system.
As with its hatch sibling, the CLA is already so aggressive on the outside - and the parent company so anxious not to demolish the sedan's 0.22 coefficient of drag - that not much has been done to the cranked-up CLA. Even the rather thin tires on the standard only get a little less thin on the hotter variant. Inside will be the telltale AMG signs, with lots of red detailing and that flat-bottomed wheel among the giveaways. We'll know more later this month when the wraps come off at the New York International Auto Show.
Race Recap: Singapore Grand Prix is about a safety car and submission
Mon, 23 Sep 2013The Singapore Formula One Grand Prix is the Monaco GP of the Orient - a weekend known more for its glamour and time-slot than on-track action, with a temporary circuit that punishes every mistake, usually terminally.
Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas got the best of Free Practice 1, opening the curtain on a possible resurgence of Silver Arrows performance. By the time qualifying was done, though, it was his teammate Nico Rosberg who lined up second on the grid, followed by Romain Grosjean with a beautiful performance in the Lotus, Mark Webber in the Infiniti Red Bull, and Hamilton all the way back in fifth. Behind them were Felipe Massa outqualifying Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button getting the McLaren into eighth, Daniel Ricciardo with another good Q3 effort to get into ninth, and the shocker of Esteban Gutiérrez getting his Sauber into the top ten for the first time this year.
At the front of the pack was Sebastian Vettel. Again. But he was only ahead of Rosberg by a single tenth of a second...
