Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Starts stops and drives well, recent rebuild to engine and trans, usual signs of age, sunroof, one window, dash lights need repair, etc. Good interior, good body with one minor damage area on fender, nice color combination."

NOTE as os Sunday 9/29 7pm PST: VIN listed in auction, was mistaken it is not for this car- I will correct this mistake as soon as EBay tells me how. Title is clear, it has had 3 titled owners so far....no accident history. 

This is a dependable, fun, modern classic, in good 'daily driver' condition needing a little TLC. As one of only 1200 or so 1985 Coupes made, and the last year of this famous series, it is a very collectable Benz. 1985 also saw one-yaer only improvements to the famous diesel drivetrain, including better rear end gearing for better highway mileage and improved shifting.

Positives are the body and mechanics: Body has decent paint, in very good looking and rare original Anthracite Gray metallic color (code 172)  and no visible signs of panel or floorpan rust. All trim is present and it has Bosch Euro headlights. With 270K on the engine I am told the prior owners had the engine and trans rebuilt and given the great oil pressure and good power, this appears to be true. All mechanicals appear to be in good working order except as listed below. The Palomino interior in reasonable good shape. Headliner is perfect, 3 of 4 windows work well, rear glass is original and in nice shape- Dashboard has only a tiny crack, nothing that is truly noticeable. Stops, starts, runs well. All chromes and lenses present and in good shape.Aftermarket CD player gives good sound.


Negatives on the cosmetics are are the typical very dried rubber around the doors; one upward bend at the lower edge of the front fender (pictured) from a road hazard, and a stone chip in the windshield (not large, no spidering). Not working: Tach, cruise, some of the dashboard lights, driver rear 1/4 window, and sunroof motor. Visors and first aid kit, typical cracks, a couple of small tear/age spots on driver seat. Anyone is welcome to come and inspect/drive it (not licensed, but can move up and down my driveway) anytime. Car is garaged, in central/coastal NJ near Sandy Hook (zip 07732) on Route 36 in Highlands.

I bought this car recently intending to a drive and restore over time but just bought a pristine model so this one now is looking for a good home. I have a clear PA title in hand ready for the next owner (It has two prior long term owners, before me). I am asking a reasonable price for a quick sale and don't want to lose too much money on it. Because of the new car I will soon be out of garage space, and this one needs to go soon. Please email with any question. Car is sold as is, where is, andto try to cover my costs, but willing to listen to Best Offers. Looking for fast sale, & it must be driven away within 2 weeks of sale. Thanks for looking!

Mercedes-Maybach SUV concept: Vision Ultimate Luxury interior teased

Wed, Apr 18 2018

Mercedes-Maybach posted a teaser video of what it calls "the ultimate in luxury" last week, saying that the featured, yet-to-be-named vehicle would be presented in the Beijing Motor Show. Now there's a teaser sketch giving us a wider look of the concept's interior, as well as a name. The concept also has a name by now: the Vision Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury. We guess that might have been coming, even if the name isn't exactly concise. But, the accompanying release also informs us that the concept is a combination of a high-end sedan and an SUV, confirming that it is indeed the high-riding vehicle that's been rumored for a while. The interior sketch also shows a very wide center console with stylized grab handles, which suit the SUV dimensions and aesthetic, without being as trucklike as the Maybach G650 Landaulet's interior. As well as the lavish two-tone color scheme and the touch of wood on the door panel, the concept interior shows a wide color instrument display ahead of the driver. The gear selectors are paddle shifters next to the chunky steering wheel rim, and the controls seem to have been grouped on the wheel's spokes, leaving just a few switches on the dashboard. Autocar reports that the concept will be followed by a 2019 production version, slated to debut at the Los Angeles show at the end of this year. It would be based on the Mercedes-Benz GLS, but with a more bespoke design inside out, as hinted by the concept. Basing it on the GLS would mean Mercedes would be manufacturing it at the Tuscaloosa plant in Alabama, making it the first Maybach built in the U.S. Related Video: Image Credit: Mercedes-Maybach Beijing Motor Show Maybach Mercedes-Benz SUV Concept Cars Luxury mercedes-maybach

Online Find of the Day: Lexus-engined Mercedes pickup is a vintage hybrid

Tue, 16 Sep 2014

You have to love someone who gets incredibly committed to a very weird idea. What you see for sale here is a right-hand drive 1971 Mercedes-Benz 220D in South Africa, but this old Mercedes is now converted into a pickup, complete with bed cover, and there's big secret under the hood, too.
The pickup conversion appears well done based on seller Sedgefield Classic Cars' photos. Even the tonneau cover fits well. You could almost believe that this Mercedes lived its life as a Chevrolet El Camino-like pickup from the very beginning.
However, the rear-quarters conversion might not be the weirdest thing about this Mercedes. The original diesel is gone from the engine bay in favor of a Lexus V8. It seems really odd to pop the hood and find a Japanese mill in this German car, but the photos make it look like a fairly well performed swap. So, bravo to the crazy thinking. According to the seller speaking to Autoblog by email, "as far as we can establish, this was done a few years ago, with all Lexus components."

Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 to debut in Monterey

Mon, Aug 15 2016

Mercedes surprised the car world last week when it teased an enormous, Maybach-badged coupe concept. Now we have a name and a debut date. Mercedes released the info in a second teaser image posted to its Facebook page. Called the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 – "Vision" equals concept and "6" denotes the length in meters – the new two-door will debut at Pebble Beach on Thursday. So yeah, here's another reason to get excited about Monterey Car Week. As for the teaser image, it's a head-on shot as opposed to the profile view that Mercedes released last week. The new view supports our theory that the super-skinny mirrors are cameras, and the shot also reveals new styling touches. The most noticeable are the very thin, un-Mercedes-like headlights – they flank a prominent, heavily polished waterfall grille that marks a significant departure from recent Mercedes products. A traditional Mercedes hood ornament sits above the grille's small "Maybach" designation. Kicking up the exposure in Photoshop doesn't reveal too much more detail – unlike last week's profile image – aside from a set of chrome strips that run along the sides of the hood. Autoblog's Monterey Car Week crew ships out for the left coast soon – expect more on the festivities, including the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6's debut, later this week.
