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. |

VW, Fiat, Mercedes could be CNG winners in Europe
Fri, Dec 12 2014Fiat ads in the US try to play up the exotic, sexy side of Italian culture. On the home front in Italy, however, passenger-vehicle sales are marked by something less edgy and quite a bit more practical: the growth of compressed-natural-gas (CNG) powered car sales. In fact, Italy is leading a group of European countries where CNG sales are on the upswing and may be benefiting automakers like VW, Fiat and Mercedes-Benz, according to Automotive News. VW started sales of its Golf TGI natural-gas vehicle this year – the company's fourth in Europe – while Mercedes-Benz added a natural-gas B-class model. Fiat accounts for about 50 percent of CNG vehicles sold on the continent. In all, Europe's CNG sales through September totaled about 67,000, up seven percent from a year earlier, Automotive News Europe says, citing research firm JATO Dynamics. And the number of CNG vehicles on Europe's roads could jump tenfold within the next decade. The draw is a combination of lower refueling prices and a CNG drivetrain that typically emits less CO2 than diesel vehicles. As for Italy, about five percent of new-vehicle sales are CNG. To put that into perspective, hybrids, battery-electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and diesels combined to account for about 4.2 percent of US vehicle sales last year.

2021 Mercedes-Maybach S 580 base price starts at more than $185,000
Wed, Mar 10 2021A few months ago, the 2021 Mercedes-Maybach S 580 made its debut as the pinnacle of the Mercedes lineup. Now the company has revealed the price, and, unsurprisingly, it's not cheap. The base price for the sedan is $185,950 including destination fee. That price makes the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class one of the more expensive flagship sedans on the market. It's more than $25,000 more than the top-of-the-line BMW M760i, and more than $50,000 more than the Audi S8. It's even $20,000-plus more than the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 SUV. On the other hand, the Mercedes-Maybach S 580 is cheaper than the $200,000-plus Bentley Flying Spur and the $300,000-plus Rolls-Royce Ghost. All this money gets you an S-Class with a unique grille and fascias, as well as an extra 7 inches of length between the wheels. Nearly every surface of the interior is wrapped in leather, and whatever isn't is probably finished with wood or features a screen. Powering it is a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 making 496 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. It also has a nine-speed automatic transmission, air suspension and four-wheel steering. If you're looking to pick one up, they'll be reaching dealers this summer. Related Video: Â
Daimler, BMW partnering up on wireless charging
Tue, Jul 15 2014Plug-in vehicle advocates can get all warm and fuzzy about two Germany heavyweight automakers getting together for the sake of wireless charging. That's because Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler and BMW will work together to speed up development of a wireless charging system. While not a ton of details were divulged, we can still rejoice. Daimler says the system will consist of an on-board coil and another coil that can be placed within the garage floor or someplace similarly stationary. The system will charge at 3.6 kilowatts and with 90 percent efficiency. No details were released about the system's price or when it would be available, but Daimler shouldn't wait too long, since other OEMs are already talking about their own wireless charging systems. Daimler obviously has some skin in the game here, since Mercedes-Benz will start sales of its S500 plug-in hybrid in September. That model, which was first shown off last August at the Frankfurt Auto Show, can go as far as 20 miles on electric power alone and will get fuel economy of about 84 miles per gallon equivalent. And it's easy to imagine an i3 or i8 driver getting a kick out of never needing to touch a cord. This spring, reports sprung up that fellow German automaker Volkswagen was preparing a wireless charging option for its electric vehicles as soon as 2017. You can check out Daimler's press release below. Wireless charging of electric drive and plug-in hybrid vehicles: PLUG IN HYBRID - unplugged One of the next steps on the way to perfect electric drive and plug-in hybrid vehicles is wireless charging. Daimler and BMW have now agreed on jointly developing and implementing one common technology. Wireless charging of the battery will make the handling of electric drive and plug-in hybrid vehicles even easier. Mercedes-Benz will commence fleet testing of this "unplugged" technology with the S 500 Plug in HYBRID soon, in order to develop a real S-Class solution in recharging the high voltage battery in terms of comfort and ease of operating in the near future. The system consists of two components: a secondary coil integrated into the under tray of the car and a primary coil integrated into a floor plate that can be placed on a garage floor for instance. Electrical energy is transmitted contact-free without the need for a cable, at a power rate of 3.6 kW and with a degree of efficiency of 90%.
