This is an extremely rare car. Imported from Germany in the late 80s. There are only a handful of these in the united states. 

I work for an airline and can provide free plane tickets if you wish to come get the car from me in Nashville but don't have a means to transport it back.


Grey Market - Mercedes Benz 1986 500SE
I have all the paperwork for the car to show it is 100% legal
Has never been in an accident 

Bought this car in December from a friend in New hampshire. Wanted to take on the project, but have to many already. So, it is time to sell it. Drove the car from New Hampshire to Nashville, TN with no issues. 200,XXX miles (will update soon with correct milage). I hate to have to sell it but I am moving in the next few weeks and this is the only way I'm going to be able to afford the move.

Cons: 
Front seats need to be reupholstered 
A/C Does not work
Blower motor isn't hooked up. Was disconnected when I bought the car. Never investigated why. Air still blows through defrost vents
Odometer stopped working just a few weeks ago. Haven't driven the car since then. I believe it's off by about 100 miles.
Needs new brake pads
One small bit of surface rust under the gas cap. (shown in pictures)
Windshield has a crack from driver side to passenger side and will need to be replaced. 
Headlight wipers don't work
Dome lights don't work

Pros:
Runs great
EURO BUMPERS
EURO HEADLIGHTS
(both of which, together, are close to the asking price alone)
Shifts perfect with no hiccups 
Electric seats / seat heaters work great
Tires have plenty of life left
I Have a set of H&R lowering springs I will throw in for free.

For some reason (I'm assuming because of the import eBay wouldn't let accept the vin as an actual vin). I have set the year as 1980, as you aren't required to have a vin on any 1980 or older vehicle, to avoid this issue so it would allow me to post. This car is a 1986.

Reserve is set at $2,000. However I may decide to sell for less if the auction closes and it hasn't reached my asking price.

Race recap: 2015 Singapore Grand Prix full of odd sideshows

Mon, Sep 21 2015

What greeted the Formula One teams in Singapore? Confusion. The haze was so thick that observers wondered if the race would be held at all. Then practices began, and Mercedes-AMG Petronas driver Nico Rosberg took the first one, but the team fell away after that. Mercedes said it couldn't get the tires turned on, but no one believed the Silver Arrows was in genuine trouble. Then qualifying set the confusion in stone. Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel laid down the best time in Q3, taking the team's first pole position since Germany in 2012. Daniel Ricciardo got his Infiniti Red Bull Racing into second, about one tenth behind Vettel. (That may make the team feel better after Ricciardo publicly asked for a better engine than the current Renault unit, and team advisor Helmut Marko said the outfit will quit F1 at the end of this year if it can't get a stronger powerplant for 2016.) Kimi Raikkonen put the second Ferrari in third, Daniil Kvyat put the second Red Bull in fourth. And only then came the Meredes'. Lewis Hamilton's best got him fifth, the Brit saying, "We don't really know what we have got wrong. For some reason the tires are not working on the car. We do the warm-up the same as everyone else and then you see someone one second up the road." For added emphasis on the reversal of fortune, his time was 1.6 seconds behind Vettel's. Teammate Rosberg is next to him in sixth, a further half a second back. Williams is still a hurting a bit on slow tracks, so Valtteri Bottas could only get into seventh ahead of Max Verstappen in the Toro Rosso and teammate Felipe Massa in ninth. When the red lights went out, the 2015 Singapore Grand Prix would get both less interesting and more interesting all the way to the final lap. The men up front got good getaways, and the order into Turn 1 was Vettel, Ricciardo, and Raikkonen. The race finished with those three in that order, never having conceded position. Vettel's Ferrari enjoyed the track so much that he laid a second per lap into Ricciardo for the first five, then relaxed. He'd let the gap come down later in the race a couple of times, but any time he wanted to see what his mirrors looked like without anyone in them he'd take off again. Rosberg took fourth position after holding down sixth for the first stint. It looked like he'd have an even worse day - for a Mercedes driver - when he had problems getting his car started and onto the grid before the race.

Mercedes-Benz to build new ML coupe-crossover in Alabama in 2015

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

Mercedes-Benz will expand its factory in Tuscaloosa, AL, to build the ML Coupe, a new crossover that will join its lineup in 2015. Mercedes will also ramp up production to build facelifted versions of the M-Class and GL-Class SUVs, lifting the factory's total production capacity to about 300,000 units annually in 2015. It made 185,000 vehicles in 2013. In addition to SUVs, the Tuscaloosa site also makes the C-Class sedan.
The plans come as part of Mercedes' strategy to capitalize on Americans' increasing demands for SUVs. The company said the SUV market was up 12 percent in first half of 2014, and expects it to grow at twice the rate of the regular market in 2015 and 2016.
"We are seeing climbing demand for SUVs." - Dieter Zetsche
