This beautiful 36-year old Mercedes 450SL Convertible Roadster scores 7 to 7.5 out of 10!  Second owner car.  The original owner, not to be disclosed, maintained this car meticulously from its original point of sale, September 23, 1977, at Colonial Imports in Glendale, CA.  Maintenance records from Beverly Hills, LTD, Beverly Hills, CA and then from L & M Motors, Los Angeles, CA are in maintenance book. 


This car has been garaged, and not driven, for the past 8 years.  The car is in overall very nice shape, but needs to be buffed out as it has minor oxidation.  There is evidence of minor paint repair on the right front fender and a very small dent in the rear bumper.  The car is not perfect, but very nice and all original.  There is a small crack in drivers seat (see photo), but otherwise the interior is immaculate.  There is a very small leak on the differential cover, but no other leaks have been noted or seen.  Car will start for a short period of time, but fuel pump is weak.  Everything works well and car was driven frequently prior to being garaged.  It has a new battery and oil change, but would recommend cleaning the fuel system and a new fuel pump.  The tires have approximately 80% tread, but show dry rot and cracking so should be replaced for safety.  

This car has spent its entire life in dry southern California until January 2013 when it was delivered to our garage in southern Oregon.  

We were told that the top has never been removed and does not appear to have been, so we imagine that the convertible top is in like new condition, but have not verified.  As you can see, the original car cover has two holes, one on the drivers mirror and one on top.  

For sale locally for $9,500/OBO.  

NADA shows low retail of $10,500; average retail $19,400 and high retail $27,600.  

As you can see, this car is in extremely nice condition, between average and high retail, and is priced to sell.

PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO FULFILL YOUR OBLIGATIONS.
RE-LISTED BECAUSE LAST WINNING BIDDER DID NOT PAY.

2024 Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV tops $180,000

Tue, Oct 24 2023

The 2024 Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV is staking claim to the "next era of driving pleasure," but that pleasure will come at a steep price. The company officially announced Wednesday that the super-lux, battery-electric SUV starts at $181,050 (assuming the $1,150 destination fee doesn't increase for 2024) — $50,000 more than the standard Mercedes-Benz EQS 580. And you can order one starting today.  While U.S. figures are still partially up in the air, we do have some preliminary specs. To go with its 649-horsepower output, the EQS 680 SUV was rated at 600 km of total range on the WLTP cycle, which works out to about 373 miles. While Mercedes-Benz doesn't have EPA figures to offer, the EQS 580 is rated at approximately 340 miles with the same pack and a very similar (613 km) WLTP-certified range. 0-60 comes in just 4.1 seconds on the way to a top speed of 130 MPH. Charging the EQS 680 SUV back up from 0% will take a bit longer — nearly 13 hours on a Level II AC charger — but DC fast charging (10-80%) takes just 31 minutes at its max throughput rate of 200 kW.  The Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV is available with five different two-tone color combinations. All of the two-tone options will feature the lighter color on the bottom half of the SUV, since the darker tone up top better accentuates the vehicleÂ’s aerodynamics. Maybach-specific design details include vertical metal-look lines in the EQSÂ’ faux grille and a Mercedes-Benz star ornament on the hood.  ThereÂ’s a Maybach logo on the D-pillar and the taillights have a unique running light pattern. Mercedes-Benz says 21-inch wheels are standard for now; larger 22-inch wheels, as well as a sixth two-tone paint option, will come later. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Mercedes says it's tops in luxury sales for 2012, not BMW

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

It turns out that Mercedes-Benz North America has legitimate claim to being the top selling luxury nameplate in the US in 2012.
While sources such as Autodata had put BMW in the top spot, registration data from R.L. Polk shows that Mercedes customers registering new vehicles topped the Bavarian automaker in the most recent calendar year. Polk says Benz posted 274,123 registrations, compared with BMW's 268,498.
In terms of sales posted, BMW had bested Benz 281,460 to 274,134. But sales are recorded somewhat inconsistently from automaker to automaker. Some book the sales as soon as they are shipped from factory to dealer. There is perennial gamesmanship between the two German rivals, and the sales numbers suggest that BMW pushed out some extra sheetmetal to dealers in the last four weeks of the year.

Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013

Sun, 15 Sep 2013

When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.
