up for sale is my 1985 mercedes 500 sec
the car overall is in very good condition I have been across many old vehicles 
so the exterior is overall very good condition for a 28 year old car has some minor paint chips and  has been repainted before but presents itself very well gets compliments everywhere it goes the right side quarter panel has a few small bubbles nothing major the bumpers and moldings are also in good condition the trunk and rook have some chips on it  again it's nothing major I have seen many of these sec's in much worse condition and even still wanted to buy it because of how rare it is and how nice the body design is 
the interior is overall good condition it's all there the leather is excellent condition the only major issue is the wood around the shifter and the ashtray is peeling from age these days can be redone very cheap or even a fun project to do by yourself sanding and staining the wood and also the driver window doesn't work I can assume it is the actuator but am not positive should be an easy fix
mechanically the car runs and drives good has a new radiator replaced due to age new waterpump,new alternator,those were major issues when I purchased the vehicle otherwise it runs and drives no issues no overheating and transmission shifts good.In order for the vehicle to be brought to perfect needs some work which is not that bad getting into a project car that is all there runs and drives and just needs some things done  this vehicle runs and drives and is all there alot of small fixes can be done to make it perfect

Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

A little over two months ago came reports that Daimler and Aston Martin were in talks, again, about "supply and technical-cooperation agreements." The next step has been taken with Aston Martin announcing that it has signed a Letter of Intent that looks "towards a technical partnership" with Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and the two companies aiming to have definitive agreements done by year's end.
While it will get to use certain electric and electronic components from AMG, the true golden egg for the maker of the Vanquish will be the ability to develop a new line of "bespoke V8 powertrains" that will be fitted to "a new generation of models." In return for opening up the larder, Daimler will get a non-voting stake of up to five percent of Aston Martin.
Nothing else is being said about the tie-up for the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more details.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

Make way for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, the most wonderfully preposterous car I have ever driven.
There is absolutely no reason why any two-seat roadster should be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 developing 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, but I sure am glad that Mercedes-Benz doesn't see things that way.
Drop into the leather-lined cockpit of this $213,145 provocateur, floor the accelerator pedal as I did over and over again, and 60 miles per hour falls in a traction-limited 3.9 seconds. Top speed has been electronically held to 186 mph (this apparently saves Gulfstream jet owners from embarrassment). Forget the SL550 and SL63 AMG, the valets will trip over themselves attending to the tycoon driving this thoroughbred - it's the real deal.

Mercedes to market Tesla-powered 2014 B-Class EV in U.S.

Thu, 05 Jul 2012

Looks like another Tesla Motors investor will be looking to cash in on their connection. Autoweek reports Mercedes-Benz will offer their B-Class in the U.S. with Tesla propulsion.
The magazine says their source at the German automaker confirms plans for a B-Class electric-only vehicle. While Tesla already provides battery packs for the battery-powered Smart ForTwo, the B-Class EV will reportedly have Tesla batteries, motor and other components. U.S. residents should be able to procure one sometime in 2014.
The same Mercedes source says plans for a hybrid B-Class have been postponed for now. Adding a range-extending, gasoline-powered engine to an electric vehicle would put the car into a different class for which rebates and incentives aren't as favorable in the States.
