Great time of year to buy! If she doesn't find a new home, she will go into storage for the winter and will not be listed for sale. Or I might decide to keep her and sell my Jeep TJ instead. Wouldn't you rather be enjoying this gorgeous car than wishing you hadn't missed out?
Recent inspections found that the catalytic converter has a small hole, the repair shop recommended replacing the entire exhaust system (of course)
Everything works except ORIGINAL CASSETTE DECK doesn't play and antenna is stuck. Will include replacement antenna.
Has needed very little in the way of repairs while I've had it, comparable to an average, much-younger car. 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.
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 many 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, flooring, paint, and someday replace the 1975 bathroom…and I no longer have a garage in which to store this lovely old girl during the winter. And so I 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 and a thick layer of clearcoat, for which I can include a small collection of products and even a buffing machine. The paint shops out here want about two months' of my wages to do a proper job, sorry but I need the new furnace more, I do live in Canada....

** I have had 3 small body 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 are still spots of rust here and there, nothing that can't be remedied. There is some inevitable rust in the front end as well, everything within reach has been treated with a rust inhibitor. 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 from my previous, well-researched asking price of $13,000 Canadian to compensate you in advance for any trouble.

***Generally, needs a little TLC, as would be expected with any classic car, but overall in quite good shape. Not in mint condition, but those that are generally run $20-30,000.Truly, an excellent value for the quality and condition of the vehicle. If you would like more specifics, please email me.

All statements are true in my opinion and to the best of my knowledge.

I will cooperate with you to have vehicle inspected locally.

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 has X6 in its crosshairs with the GLE Coupe

Tue, Jan 13 2015

In the last month, Mercedes-Benz has taken the sheet off two versions of its GLE Coupe: the 450 AMG and Mercedes-AMG GLE63 S. The models represent the German brand's shot across the bow at the BMW X6 in the luxury-crossover-four-door-coupe segment, including the high-performance M version of the bodystyle. Not much separates the styling between the two versions. Both feature sweeping arches over the hood and roofline to create their coupe-like appearance. Up front there are huge air intakes with a wide grille on top that's bisected by the brand's traditional star. The AMG version tweaks that look with the division's A-wing grille. At the rear, there are wraparound taillights and a chrome strip. The higher performance version also sports a modified diffuser and air outlets. No matter which one buyers choose, they get a healthy amount of power nestled under the hood. The 450 AMG packs a 3.0-liter, twin-turbo V6 with 362 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque with a nine-speed automatic. Opting for the GLE63 means a massive boost with 577 hp and 561 pound-feet from a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 routing through a seven-speed auto gearbox. Either way, customers get Merc's 4Matic all-wheel drive system. The luxury crossover coupe segment is often maligned for looking awkward, but Mercedes clearly sees room to grow there. Check them both out live from the 2015 Detroit Auto Show floor in the galleries above.

BMW negotiates Daimler alliance, buys out car-service partner Sixt

Mon, Jan 29 2018

Sixt sells its stake in DriveNow car-sharing to BMW BMW in talks with Daimler to combine car-sharing Combining car-sharing business to aid robotaxi plans FRANKFURT — Germany's BMW has bought out partner Sixt from their joint venture DriveNow, paving the way for a broader car-sharing and driverless taxi alliance with Daimler to compete against Uber and Lyft. Car rental company Sixt said on Monday it would generate an extraordinary pre-tax profit of about 200 million euros ($248 million) in 2018 from the sale of the DriveNow stake to BMW for 209 million euros. "With DriveNow as a wholly-owned subsidiary, we have all options for continued strategic development of our services," said Peter Schwarzenbauer, BMW's board member for Digital Business Innovation. "Our experience with mobility services supports our development of future autonomous, electrified and connected fleets," he said, adding that BMW aims to have 100 million customers for "premium mobility services" by 2025. The Sixt deal comes as BMW moves closer to a deal to combine its car-sharing services with Daimler's Car2Go, a person familiar with the discussions told Reuters last week. The German carmakers want to build a joint business that includes car sharing, ride-hailing, electric vehicle charging, and digital parking services, a senior executive at one of the companies said on Monday. Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler and BMW declined comment on the status of potential talks on their car-sharing business. "This is speculation, we do not comment," BMW said. The senior executive, who declined to be named because the plan is not public, said: "This will create an ecosystem which can also be used for managing robotaxi (driverless taxi) fleets." BMW would contribute its ParkNow and ChargeNow businesses to the common company, the executive said, adding that there were still differences of opinion over the valuation of Car2Go. The market for ride-hailing services currently makes up around 33 percent of the global taxi market, and could grow eightfold to $285 billion by 2030, once autonomous robotaxis are in operation, Goldman Sachs said in a recent research note. BMW and Daimler are now working on developing autonomous cars, vehicles which could enable them to up-end the market for taxi and ride-hailing services.
