 You are looking at a very RARE 1984 EURO Benz 500SL, 2 door, 2 tops Convertible with 5.0L, V8, bullet proof, engine with automatic transmission.
A true 2 + 2 car, since it has the Kinder back seat. It is a true Euro model that was brought from Germany and was truly made for the autobahn, very fast and furious! Even my title says that it was first registered in a foreign country.
It has Euro headlights and Euro bumpers as well as a factory back Kinder seat with seat belts, very rare and expensive. It is most sought out and hard to find a true Euro car.
EBay system does not recognize Euro VIN #’s, here is the vin # for the car WDB1070461A001993. It was first imported by the original owner and stayed in Fl. Until I bought it from him when he brought it back to WI.
We used it a little during the summer and did not drive it anymore. Space is needed, hence the sale, otherwise, I would keep and restore.
Very expensive car and was sold for well $55k back in 84. NADA puts its value today between $19k&$40k and keeps going up in value every year. Very original and has low original miles, only 154k/miles. Very good engine with many new parts through the years. It is a complete pleasure to drive and most fun. Very sleek and beautiful and it demands attention anywhere it goes.


 It comes fully loaded with Power Locks, Power Windows, Power Mirror,Antenna, Cruise Control, AC, Heated Seats for passenger and driver, Factory Back Seat with Seat Belts, Euro Adjustable Headlights with Wipers, Euro Bumpers, ABS, Leather Interior and much more.
All interior and exterior lights work as well,turn signals and wipers and pump. All gauges on the instrument cluster work. All options work on the car very well, even the clock and the horn work, Everything works on the car, though blower is not working when I tried it and that could be a fuse or a connection issue.
It is a drive and go car and last summer was driven from Fl. To Milwaukee, WI. And performed flawlessly, you can drive it anywhere you want!

Exterior is very nice, not perfect, as you can see from photos, the original paint still has a nice shine to it, trunk is dull and I am sure that it can be buffed out. In addition, some rust on top of the front fenders above the head lights, as can be seen in photos, and that can be easily repaired. Also, some rust by the trunk area that can also be repaired as well as couple of bubbles here and there. It has a black soft top that would need to be replaced, antenna broke of, but I do have the mast. Couple of spots where clear coat peeled as well as a loose cruise control handle and the visor for passenger side is missing. I do have, but have to find it!
 
In my opinion, nothing major and with little effort, you can have an excellent car. All chrome, glass, and molding are excellent. Tires are brand new as well as fuel system maintenance. Trunk is very clean and solid and it has a factory full size spare with tools and jack. Also, I have all original books and manuals that came with it from Germany.

Car runs, drives, shifts and handles well and can really hug the road. It has excellent pressure and idles very nice. It drives and shifts effortlessly. It is all ready to go on a moment’s notice. It does not miss a beat, very fast and a true performer indeed.

Interior is very nice overall. Dash is excellent but has minor crack, door panels, wood, chrome, carpeting Are excellent. Seats are very sturdy and comfortable.
By all means, the car is neither perfect nor is a garage queen and I am not saying that the car is a show car, for it is not. As mentioned above, car will need some work to make it perfect and again, had I have the time, I would do it because, it is well worth it.

It sold for well over $55k in 84, NADA value today is at $40k, so what you have is a very nice car selling at NO RESERVE and all this car will do is keep going up in value with time.

Smart will go electric-only in United States and Canada

Tue, Feb 14 2017

By 2018, the Smart car brand will be only known as an electric vehicle manufacturer in the US. According to Automotive News, sales of gasoline-powered Smart cars will cease later this year, and Daimler will develop the product portfolio into a solely electrified one. This coincides with the upcoming launch of the new generation Smart ForTwo electric drive models this summer. Automotive News claims to have obtained a letter from Mercedes-Benz USA CEO Dietmar Exler sent to US dealers. In it, he underlines the decision to go electric-only, saying "developments within the micro-car segment present some challenges for the current Smart product portfolio," and that the change will only affect North American sales. Production of US-destined gasoline-powered Smarts will cease in April, and sales will continue until stock runs out. The current generation has been on sale from 2015, and it hasn't reached the 2014 sales peak of 10.453 units of the previous generation; last year, there were little more than 6.200 Smarts sold in the States. The first electric drive Smarts were unveiled a decade ago, but they became available in the USA five years later, initially via various trial programs, including Car2Go fleets. Related Video:

Mercedes was set to sell version of Nissan Titan, now Infiniti might instead

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

Mercedes-Benz Titan. Mercedes-Benz Frontier. Mercedes-Benz pickup truck. None of these things roll off the tongue particularly well. We'd like to think that's the reason Daimler opted to kill the idea of rebadged Titan and Frontier pickups from corporate ally Nissan. In reality, the execution before the Frankfurt Motor Show was due to more complicated issues.
Yes, Mercedes, byword for German luxury, style and quality, would have slapped a three-pointed star on a pair of Japanese pickup trucks that have failed to resonate with consumers in the world's largest truck market. That slapping of badges isn't much of an exaggeration, at least on the outside. According to the report from Road & Track, the truck's front clip would have been tweaked, but beyond that, the sheetmetal would have been unchanged. The interior would have received a more thorough going-over by the team at Mercedes, while the suspension and noise, vibration and harshness tuning would have also received significant attention.
The trucks would have ended up being sold through the light-commercial branch of Mercedes-Benz - the same folks that will happily sell you a Sprinter van - had the deal gone through. Issues arose, though, first with the engines. Mercedes wanted a wider range of powertrains to allow it to tune models for specific markets, while Nissan said it couldn't engineer the wide variety of engines that MB wanted to drop under the hood. For the smaller truck, meanwhile, MB was interested in a hybrid or plug-in variant, according to R&T, although this was also shot down by Nissan.

Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Mercedes also under diesel emissions scrutiny

Sat, Oct 10 2015

The controversy over Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal isn't limited to the US. In Europe, where diesel engines are far more popular, the issue is shining a harsh light on the NEDC emissions test. As already known, the evaluation does a poor job of reflecting real-world production of NOx, and it appears a significant number of automakers are affected. The Guardian in the UK has been reporting on real-world test results from a company called Emissions Analytics. After the latest round of checks, vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Mazda and Mitsubishi were found to generate far more NOx than they should. The newspaper also published similar results for Renault, Nissan, Hyundai, Fiat, Volvo, Jeep, Citroen, VW, and Audi. On average, the figures are about four times over the limit of producing the pollutant. Unlike VW and its defeat device, these automakers aren't actually breaking the rules. The vehicles perform up to the NEDC lab test for emissions, but those results simply aren't translated to the street. "The VW issue in the US was purely the trigger which threw light on a slightly different problem in the EU - widespread legal over-emissions," Nick Molden from Emissions Analytics said to The Guardian. A big fight to decide the future of this issue appears to be on the horizon. Automakers claim that they can't meet the next round of tightening emissions regulations and are asking for compromises. Although, spokespeople for Mercedes and Honda told The Guardian that the brands would be in favor of the stricter rules. Meanwhile, some European governments began backtracking their support of diesels well before this scandal came to light. The added scrutiny certain hasn't helped the future of the oil-burner.
