1984 Mercedes Benz 500 SL Convertible Coupe / Roadster Please note: This is the actual European VIN# WDB1070461A009992. The other number with all zeros is due to Ebay not accepting the actual number on the title, which is in my name. There is also a Bureau of Automotive Repair (B.A.R.) number A24676 in the driver side door jamb, which can clearly be seen in one of the images. Additionally, this car has all the requisite smog additions and is currently registered in California, so it currently is in compliance with all California state and federal EPA requirements. I have been informed this might also be known as a "Gray Market" car, but has been registered in California since the late 1980's or so, without any problems.
License plate number, This car was donated to our non-profit foundation, so we have only had the car a short time. Our understanding is this is a European Mercedes, purchased in The car runs and drives great and for the most part was always maintained by a Mercedes dealer or authorized Mercedes Benz mechanic. The car was checked out and we found just about everything on the car is in proper working order, including: Headlights (high and low beams), brake lights, turn signals, driving lights, dash lights, dome lights, emergency flashers, power passenger side mirror, radio, horn, cigarette lighter, power windows, central locking system, heater, fan on all speeds and settings, air conditioning (but might need a recharge), power antenna, seatbelts, all gauges, windshield wipers on all speeds, etc. Things we found that DO NOT WORK, the dash clock, possibly the seat warmers… it was rather warm out and we could not tell if they worked, but the lights on the switches work on both positions. We could not figure out how to turn on the fog lights, so we do not know if they work. The windshield washers did not spray water, so we do not know if they are clogged or there is no washer fluid in the system, HOWEVER the wipers DO work on all speeds. The radio is made by Alpine, model number CDM 7871 and apparently is a CD model, but we do not know how it works. The radio turns on and the antenna goes up when it does, but that is about all we could figure out. There is a very small phone antenna on the rear trunk lid. The tires are near new, Goodyear Assurance brand. The rims are apparently aftermarket. The dash is cracked and so is the leather on both seats, the ABS light on the dash comes on and off, intermittently, and there is a slight leak from the transmission. The car has the chrome wheel lip moldings, rubber rear trunk lid spoiler, nice original carpets, nice door panels (with Kenwood speakers in them). There are two more speakers behind the driver and passenger seats on the horizontal part of the rear deck area or package shelf.
Car comes with a car cover. The car might have been repainted years ago, but if so, it was a high quality repaint of the original black color. The car would have had all the trim, bright-work, bumpers and all else removed as there is no paint on any of them. The red pin striping has been buffed through in several places. There are the very few regular parking lot dings and one bubbled spot of paint on the driver side front fender behind the chrome wheel lip molding and above the belt body side molding, about the size of a half dollar.
This is a NO RESERVE auction. If you are the winning bidder, you are the new owner. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask BEFORE you bid. We have tried to carefully explain all that is going on with the car and we want to have a positive experience for both parties.
THERE IS NO WARRANTY IMPLIED OR EXPRESSED WITH THIS AUTOMOBILE OR THIS SALE. Buyer assumes all responsibility for vehicle once car is paid for and leaves seller's hands. CAR IS STRICTLY BEING SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS!
BUYER ASSUMES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR PICK UP OR SHIPPING. We will cooperate with any shipper once payment has been made in full, but will not ship, deliver or send this car. |

Mercedes-Benz C350 Plug-In Hybrid promises 20 miles EV range, 5.9 seconds to 60
Mon, Jan 12 2015Mercedes-Benz has introduced its first hybrid C-Class to the US market with the new C350 Plug-In Hybrid. Despite its fuel-saving purpose, though, this C is not short on firepower. MB paired a 208-horsepower, 258-pound-foot, turbocharged four-cylinder with a 80-hp, 251-lb-ft electric motor for a potent overall output of 275 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque. That translates a 0-60 time of just 5.9 seconds and a top speed of 130 miles per hour. For those that aren't interested in such frivolous numbers, though, the C-Class can still impress in more environmentally friendly ways. It can cover 20 miles to a charge and will hit speeds of up to 80 miles per hour (although not likely at the same time). Naturally, fuel economy figures aren't available at this early stage. Beyond those powertrain changes, the C350 Plug-In is still the same relaxed, luxurious baby S-Class, with a class-leading interior that should really benefit from the quiet ride provided by an electric powertrain. Take a look at our full gallery of live images of the new C-Class hybrid, straight from the Detroit's Cobo Hall.

Dealers mobilize to protect their margins from automaker subscription services
Fri, Aug 24 2018Six individual auto brands — Lincoln, Cadillac, Porsche, Mercedes, BMW and Volvo — have established or are trialing a vehicle subscription service in the U.S. Three third-party companies — Flexdrive, Clutch and Carma — run brand-agnostic subscription services. And three automakers — Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and General Motors — have also launched short-term rental services. Dealers, afraid of how these trends might affect their margins, are building political and lawmaking campaigns to protect their revenue streams. So far, three states are investigating automaker subscriptions, and Indiana has banned any such service until next year. It's certain that those three states are the first fronts in a long political and legal battle. Powerful dealer franchise laws mandate the existence of dealers and restrict how automakers are allowed to interact with customers to sell a vehicle. On top of that, Bob Reisner, CEO of Nassau Business Funding & Services, said, "Dealers and their associations are among the strongest political operators in many states. They as a group are difficult for state politicians to vote against." In California earlier this year, the state Assembly debated a bill with wide-ranging provisions to protect against what the California New Car Dealers Association called "inappropriate treatment of dealers by manufacturers." One of those provisions stipulated that subscription services need to go through dealers, but that item got stripped out when dealers and manufacturers agreed to discuss the matter further. In Indiana, Gov. Eric Holcomb signed a moratorium on all subscription programs by dealers or manufacturers until May 1, 2019, to give legislators more time to investigate. Dealers in New Jersey have taken their campaign to the state capitol, asking that the cars in subscription programs get a different classification for registration purposes. Automakers run the current subscription services and own the vehicles. Sign-ups and financial transactions happen online or through apps, leaving dealers to do little more than act as fulfillment centers to various degrees, with little legal recourse as to compensation amounts when they're called on to deliver or service a car. That's a bad base to build on for business owners who've sunk millions of dollars into their operations.
Mercedes-Benz previews its curvy sports-car and design future
Fri, Jan 27 2017Suggesting creases are passe for automotive design, Mercedes showed off ideas for its future styling directions this week at a forum in Germany, including previews of upcoming sports cars and sedans. We see images of a curvy sports car study (the silver car) with huge wheel arches flared out almost like pontoons. There's also what appears to be a rear-engine hypercar (white car); we've been reading reports about it for months. Additionally, there's a red sporty saloon, as Mercedes calls it, also among the photos. It features prominent rounded fenders and a bold horizontal grille. Mercedes also previewed its upcoming A-Class, in what it calls the Aesthetics A sculpture, which looks like a car covered in a red sheet. Though Mercedes says this is its next step to a purer design, creases and strong lines are still evident on the sides. Related Video:
