This car turns heads - literally. 

How many cars have you driven where pedestrians on sidewalks near the car shout out "I like your car!"  It has happened to me repeatedly and only in this car - most recently yesterday!

 

If you are the type to look for a truly great car at a great price, congratulations, you just found it. 

 

I am the fourth owner of this car and have thoroughly enjoyed driving it for the past 9 years.  I gave up my '98 Corvette Convertible to buy it.  My wife thought I was nuts at the time, but you know why I did it - it is a classic all the way.  Quiet, smooth and one of the best looking cars in history.

 

It is in excellent condition and doesn’t need anything.  Carfax and title are clean and the car has never been tampered with (no accidents with the last two owners and according to carfax, none with the first ones either).  I just turned 115k miles and it has A/C, PW, PS, PB, CC, original AM/FM/Cass (it was a $425 extra when new!), leather and 2 tops – hardtop and convertible.  Ceiling mounted hardtop removal rack is included.  Mechanically excellent - you don't even know the engine is running when you are stopped at a traffic light.  A/C is cold and has been updated to todays refrigerant.

 

As you can tell, I am not a dealer.  If you want to go to a dealer and pay their profit and have no history on the car, I am OK with that - good luck.  On the other hand, if you want to talk to the person who has maintained and driven the car for almost a decade, I am he.

 

The car was imported from Germany to San Francisco and sold by a dealer in San Rafael California. I bought it from a woman neighbor who moved East in the 90’s.  It has never seen a winter and has no rust (including undercarriage).  Best I can tell, it has always been garaged.  While I owned it, I did have it painted (original color) and it is gorgeous.  I have the original window sticker ($41,302), owner’s literature and multiple keys.  This car has been meticulously maintained for its entire life.  I can guarantee that this car is one of the nicest cars you will find of this vintage and the absolute best color combo. 

 

Give me a call if you are interested – and serious - and I will be happy to tell you anything you want to know - 610 517 6069.  You are welcome to come and see and drive the car.  If you see it, you will buy it.  For those that don't do this, you may get a shot at it with the auction, but I will end the auction early if I get a reasonable offer. I put a very reasonable reserve on it - unfortunately I must sell it and priced it to sell in the first listing. I know there are some crazy prices out there - this is not one.  Don't miss this car - I almost did when I bought it 9 years ago and really glad I got it.

AMG could have a hybrid model on sale by 2020

Fri, Jul 31 2015

European CO2 regulations are driving every carmaker to previously unthinkable solutions in order to reduce emissions. And so far those unthinkable solutions, like a turbocharged Ferrari, have been pretty good. AMG has its development eye on the year 2021, when EU regulations will include every car sold by Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler when calculating fleet average emissions, and says that the deadline could mean a hybrid AMG by 2020. Those are the words of the company's R&D boss, Thomas Weber, to Autocar. Weber says a hybrid system right now wouldn't work only because AMG customers "wouldn't buy it." In five years, though, not only will the pressure have forced the situation, but the low-six-figure segment might also be populated by heresies like a diesel and hybrid Bentleys, and a hybrid or electric Porsche 911, to break the ice. Acceptance is coming down from the top via supercars like the McLaren P1 and Porsche 918, and up from the bottom with the near-term incorporation of electric turbos and e-boost systems. And whenever the German challengers to Tesla arrive, that will be another huge step to changing the public's mind. E-boost is what Weber said the division is looking at right now, perhaps like the kind in Mercedes' Bluetec Hybrid that employs an innocuous battery and motor. Regenerative braking would keep the battery charged. Weber said he likes it because it's proven, it's light, it's cheap, and it's already used in high-volume applications. But we would not be surprised to see a more robust implementation by the time 2020 gets here.

Daimler opens the door on Car2go Black with B-Class carsharing

Sun, Feb 9 2014

Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler has finally decided to go to its proverbial mothership to further expand its Car2go carsharing service in Europe. The German automaker has long used its itty-bitty Smart Fortwo vehicles for the program, but now it's kicking off a pilot program called Car2go Black that will share Mercedes-Benz B-Class models in Berlin and Hamburg. Daimler will deploy 100 B-Class diesels in each German city. The company says the cars will be parked at so-called "black" parking spots and won't have to be returned to the same spot when the user is done. Daimler, who says the reservation platform is geared for smartphone use, is planning to expand the program to other European cities with existing Car2go service starting this spring. That's important, since once the system is up an running, you will be able to drive a Car2go Black vehicle from one town in the network to another and not need to bring it back. Car2go first started operations in Ulm, Germany, and made its North American debut in Austin, TX, in 2009. The service now has more than 600,000 members worldwide with access to about 10,000 Fortwos in 25 cities throughout Europe and North America. Car2go chief marketing officer J. Paul DeLong said last month that Car2go is the world's largest global carsharing company. You can check out Daimler's Car2go Black press release below. car2go black: Carsharing with the three-pointed star STUTTGART, Germany, Feb. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Daimler Mobility Services offers carsharing with Mercedes-Benz vehicles for the first time Pilot Phase with 200 B-Class vehicles starts in mid- February in Hamburg and Berlin One-way trips and open-ended trips available, within and even between different cities Smartphone-based rental procedure makes usage both easy and flexible Daimler Mobility Services will soon be offering carsharing with the three-pointed star. Under the "car2go black" brand, Daimler Mobility Services GmbH will pilot a fully automated carsharing system with Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The pilot phase will begin in mid-February in Hamburg and Berlin. In the initial pilot phase, select car2go members in those locations can use a network of 200 black B-Class models on short notice. The vehicles can be rented at dedicated reserved parking stations, and do not have to be returned to the same dedicated parking station that the vehicle rental originated from.

Mercedes dropping Shooting Brake from next CLS-Class

Tue, Jul 14 2015

If you've been admiring the Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake from afar and held out hope that the next version might make it to over to our side of the pond, we've got bad news for you. Not only will the next rendition of Benz's sleek wagon not make it to North American showrooms, it won't be offered anywhere. According to Car, the German automaker has pulled the plug on the next CLS Shooting Brake. The five-door bodystyle was slated to form part of the third-generation CLS-Class lineup, whose design has already been finalized. But though there was reportedly great enthusiasm for the shooting brake within the company, lukewarm response from the vital North American and Chinese markets meant that plans for another wagon variant were scrapped altogether. Mercedes first rolled out the CLS four-door coupe in 2004, pioneering the popular new segment before BMW followed with its Gran Coupe models and Audi its Sportbacks. The second-generation model arrived in 2010, with a Shooting Brake following in 2012. Stuttgart even followed up with a smaller CLA Shooting Brake as well. With the third-generation model now on its way, however, the CLS is going back exclusively to four doors and a trunk. Of course that doesn't mean Mercedes won't be offering any oddball long-roofed models. It simply appears to be filling those niches with slant-backed versions of crossovers like the new GLC and GLE instead. So if you're looking for a vehicle with a Silver Star on the nose and an unconventional roofline at the back, you're going to have to settle on riding higher. Related Video:
