Up for sale is an amazing 1971 Mercedes 250C-Coupe. In pristine condition with only 86,150 original miles. A little about the history of the car, I have the original sticker from Rollins Motor Company, Mercedes Benz Dealer in El Paso, Texas. Delivery Date, January 24th, 1972. I have the original sticker, pre-inspection, original owner's manuals, even the Becker Stereo owner's manual. It spent the 1970's and 80's in El Paso and Amarillo, Texas. The car was then sold to a gentleman in Boise, Idaho where it spent the past 12 years. All very dry, rust free places. I purchased the vehicle from a classic car dealer in Boise, Idaho as I wanted one with original low miles and in good condition. I have owned over a dozen vintage Mercedes from diesel's to gas and this is a real head turner. I purchased the car less than six months ago and have put less than a hundred miles on it. I live in the Northwest and it rains until June, I don't drive my vintage cars in the rain much and it is one of five cars that I currently own. Since owning, I rebuilt the carburetors and did some radiator work by a classic car mechanic. I will include the receipts and I spent over $500.00 for this work done in the past few months. This car really needs to be driven more frequently and it is one of the reasons it is up for sale. I could definitely be a head turning daily driver. The goal was to keep it and sell one of my other cars, but I recently am put in the position where I am moving to a house with a one car garage. I no longer want to have to pay for storage apart from my residence, so I am keeping my restored BMW 2002 that I have over $25K into the garage, and keeping my Land Cruiser and daily driver outside. This car is too nice to not be garaged.

A few more items, all windows work perfectly and seal tightly. This is a pillar less coupe, so when all four are down, it feels more like a convertible if you have never driven a 250C or 280C. The color is original Mercedes Benz Blue Metallic, Code #: 387; Interior is Code #:145, Parchment. Lastly, I took over 83 photos and loaded them onto flicker, but e-bay won't let me attach the link. If you wish to see more pictures, e-mail me and I will attach the link via e-mail. Thanks

Missouri Mercedes dealer offering free Smart with every SLS AMG purchase
Wed, 05 Dec 2012The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT is an exquisite sports car that probably needs no help flying off dealer lots, even with a starting price of almost $200,000, but Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City has come up with an interesting incentive to sweeten the deal. For buyers who purchase a new SLS AMG from dealer stock before the end of the year, the dealership is throwing in a new Smart Fortwo from its inventory at no charge... with a required coupon no less.
In addition to being a great tactic to get a little free press, the spare car also makes sense as an alternative to the SLS, which measures more than 15-feet long - almost twice the length of a Fortwo - and has a 563-horsepower engine that sucks down gas at the rate of 13 miles per gallon in city driving (and even that's provided you don't give in to the devil on your shoulder). Plus, at the end of the day, this really isn't that big of an incentive. Being given a slow-selling $12,490 car for the purchase of a model starting at $199,500 represents about a six percent incentive, which is along the lines of a $1,900 rebate for a $30,000 car.
To get the free Smart, just visit the Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City Facebook page, redeem the coupon and then go buy yourself a new SLS AMG. Congratulations!
Geely wants to be a tech-sharing 'friend' of Daimler in $9B bet
Sat, Feb 24 2018Chinese carmaker Geely has built up an almost 10-percent stake in Daimler in a $9 billion bet by its chairman that he can access the Mercedes-Benz owner's technology in the growing battle for the future of automotives. The purchase by Li Shufu, Geely's founder and main owner, means China's largest privately-owned automaker is now the biggest shareholder in Germany's Daimler. Geely said on Saturday there were no plans "for the time being" to raise the stake further. Instead, it will seek to forge an alliance with Daimler, which is developing electric and self-driving vehicles, to respond to the challenge from new competitors such as Tesla, Google and Uber. "No current car industry player is likely to win this battle against the invaders from outside without friends. To achieve and assert technological leadership, one has to adapt a new way of thinking in terms of sharing and combining strength. My investment in Daimler reflects this vision," Li said. "Daimler is pleased to announce that with Li Shufu it could win another long-term orientated shareholder, which is convinced by Daimler's innovation strength, strategy and future potential," the German company said in a statement. Geely officials plan to travel to Stuttgart to meet Daimler executives early next week and also hope to meet top German government officials in Berlin, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. The Chinese firm plans to use the meetings to underline that it intends to be a supportive long-term investor, they said. Daimler had no immediate comment on any meetings. Geely and the German economy ministry declined to comment. Chinese investors in German technology companies have tended to take a consensual approach, buying incremental stakes in companies such as robotics firms Kuka and Kion, typically after long consultation with management and other stakeholders. In November, Geely asked Daimler to issue new shares so it could buy a stake, as a way to access Mercedes-Benz technology for electric cars and trucks, including battery technology, to help Geely comply with a Chinese crackdown on pollution. But the German company turned down the offer saying it did not want to dilute existing shareholders, sources at the time told Reuters. Li changed tactics, and quietly amassed a stake of 9.69 percent worth $9 billion at Daimler's current share price.
Maybach lost upwards of $500k on each vehicle sold
Wed, 08 Feb 2012Daimler is shuttering Maybach in 2013 after seven years of production. In that time, the company's ultra-ultra-luxury arm managed to sell just 3,000 units, and CAR reports Daimler lost somewhere around $500,000 on each and every one of them.
Even with a ludicrous price tag of over $370,000 for an "entry" Maybach 57, the brand couldn't quite recoup the dizzying $1.33 billion Daimler poured into it since its (re)inception. Rumors ignited over a possible tie up with Aston Martin that would have resulted in a range of new and attractive models, but Daimler has instead decided to snuff out Maybach altogether.
We can hardly blame them.
