1981 MERCEDES-BENZ 380SL VIN: WDBBA45A6BB005076 THERE ARE OVER 70 IMAGES OF THIS COUPE SHOWN BELOW! DESCRIPTION: This NO RESERVE auction is for an original 1981 MERCEDES-BENZ 380SL convertible. This R107 roadster has had a pampered life and it is showing only a little over 75,000 miles on the odometer. It not only looks fantastic but it produces plenty of usable horsepower with the proven 3.8 liter, V-8 cylinder engine under the hood which is coupled to a smooth shifting 4-speed automatic transmission. These engines have fuel fed by reliable BOSCH fuel injection systems and have proven to be long lasting with normal care and maintainence. This survivor car is very clean and it has a decent "20 footer" exterior and interior. Most of the paint appears original, the wood trim is very good, the carpeting is clean and fresh and there aren't even any cracks on the dashboard! This one owner classic convertible has been adult owned, driven and cared for and it has always been garaged. It has the original hardtop which we put on (for the first time in many years) to take the pictures. It looks nearly brand new and comes with the original Mercedes Benz stand and cover. The convertible soft top is also in decent condition with only two very small (10mm) tears noticed and the clear panels are in nice condition as well. The scarce Roser leather interior has withstood time well and it still has that captivating aroma. There is one very small tear in the underside of the center armrest. It is a pleasure for us to present a machine that is this well put together and cared for. The car was just serviced and there is a new complete exhaust system as well as a brand new battery. It just passed New York State's rigid inspection for emissions and safety. We have a good spare tire, jacking tools, the complete tool kit in the roll, roof removal lever tool and 2 sets of keys. There are no squeaks, rattles or other annoying gremlins to take away from the pure pleasure of cruising around and everything on the car works as designed, even the clock. It is well behaved on the road and it will cruise comfortably at current day highway speeds (and above!) without even breathing hard. It also stops and turns as well as it gets up and goes and it tracks like it is on rails! Be sure to look at the current CARFAX to boost your confidence about the history of the car: 1981 MERCEDES-BENZ 300 SERIES (WDBBA45A6BB005076) In all regards this Mercedes-Benz 380SL won't disappoint you. We couldn't tell if the A/C is working correctly in 45 degree weather, but the chances are good that it will need to be at least serviced. It is an honest original machine that could easily be taken to the next level with some TLC. As our photos of the undercarriage will show, even the bottom of the car is relatively clean and solid with only some rust bubbling in a couple of the body areas that we have shown. The paint is driver quality and what you would expect from a driven car used throughout it's life in a suburban environment. There are some scratches, chips, assorted touch ups and blemishes, but no sign of prior body work or fillers of any kind. The glass and brightwork are good. As with all of our eBay Motors listings we try to let our high resolution photographs tell the story about the vehicles that we are selling. We have shots from every possible angle in slightly different lighting conditions with both tops in place and in roadster form. If you study our clear multiple images very carefully, you will see exactly what this vintage convertible is all about. With the low original mileage we feel that this example deserves serious consideration. It looks really good and it is a heck of a lot of fun to drive. The clear images of this vehicle, shown below, will do a much better job of describing the look, style, condition and value of this vintage Mercedes-Benz 380SL than our words ever could. We invite questions and comments and there is NO RESERVE on this auction!

Sales start for $146,000 Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug In Hybrid
Sun, Aug 3 2014Mercedes-Benz's first production plug-in hybrid is chock full of astounding numbers, including the price tag. The base price is 108,944.50 euros, or about $146,000 US. If that didn't make your eyes glaze over, the Daimler division is ready to take your down payments now that the Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid is officially on sale. Deliveries to European dealerships start in September. Details on the PHEV sedan were divulged last August and it was first shown off at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show. Benz calls it the, "first luxury saloon with the performance of a V8 and the fuel consumption of a compact model." That's no exaggeration. The car's powertrain that pairs a 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo with an electric motor that delivers 436 horsepower and a 0-62 mile per hour acceleration time of just 5.2 seconds. Top speed is 155 miles an hour. On the green side, the car can go as far as almost 21 miles on electric power alone and gets a fuel-efficiency rating, on the more lenient European driving cycle, of 84 miles per gallon equivalent. The car also includes a so-called COMAND navigation system that tweaks how the electric motor is used based on the driver's desired route. Very high-tech. We've got Mercedes-Benz's press release below. Sales release for S 500 PLUG-IN HYBRID: First PLUG-IN HYBRID with a star starts With immediate effect the Mercedes-Benz S 500 PLUG-IN HYBRID can be ordered for prices from 108,944.50 euros[1]. The S 500 PLUG-IN HYBRID blends an ultramodern hybrid drive configuration with the unique innovations and the luxurious equipment and appointments of the S-Class. The luxury saloon with a long wheelbase impresses with unique dynamism and efficiency. Thanks to standard pre-entry climate control it also offers unique climate comfort. In September the first certified three-litre luxury saloon in the world will be arriving at the dealers - a further milestone on the road to emission-free mobility. "The new S 500 PLUG-IN HYBRID offers our customers the entire range of innovations that make our new S-Class so successful, and thanks to its intelligent operating strategy ensures outstanding driving pleasure and dynamism combined with the highest efficiency. Moreover, it allows completely emission-free driving for up to 33 km," says Ola Kallenius, Executive Vice-President for Sales at Mercedes-Benz Cars. "The S 500 PLUG-IN HYBRID is the first luxury saloon with the performance of a V8 and the fuel consumption of a compact model.
2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Make way for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, the most wonderfully preposterous car I have ever driven.
There is absolutely no reason why any two-seat roadster should be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 developing 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, but I sure am glad that Mercedes-Benz doesn't see things that way.
Drop into the leather-lined cockpit of this $213,145 provocateur, floor the accelerator pedal as I did over and over again, and 60 miles per hour falls in a traction-limited 3.9 seconds. Top speed has been electronically held to 186 mph (this apparently saves Gulfstream jet owners from embarrassment). Forget the SL550 and SL63 AMG, the valets will trip over themselves attending to the tycoon driving this thoroughbred - it's the real deal.
2014 Mercedes S-Class priced lower from $92,900*
Mon, 09 Sep 2013The massively overhauled 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class will start at $92,900, not including a $925 destination fee, when it arrives at US dealers in October. That's a 2.8-percent drop over the 2013 S-Class, although Mercedes is fast to point out that a drop in price doesn't equate with a drop in equipment for the executive sedan.
Besides an extra 20 horsepower from the 4.6-liter, biturbocharged V8, the S550 sports a standard panoramic sunroof, keyless start, a rear-view camera and LED headlights, taillights and interior lights. Adding the German manufacturer's 4Matic all-wheel-drive system bumps the S550's price up to $95,900.
If the S550 doesn't quite cut the mustard, you can wait until November, at which point Mercedes will quite happily sell you the new S63 AMG 4Matic for $139,500. Power is also up on the S63, from a max of 563 ponies with an AMG Performance Package to 577 horsepower as standard on the 2014 model.
