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!

Test drive the Mercedes SLS AMG Electric Drive with Chris Harris

Thu, 11 Apr 2013

It's hard to not like the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT. The all-aluminum coupe is fitted with a wonderful naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. Not only does the burly combustion engine launch the two-seater to 60 miles per hour in less than four seconds, but it does so with one of the world's greatest exhaust soundtracks as it roars, burbles and cackles down the road.
But what happens when Mercedes-Benz takes away the V8 and its accompanying fire-burning song? Stripped of one of its most appealing assets, does the SLS lose its soul?
Chris Harris recently had the opportunity to take the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive for a track spin in Europe. Sans gasoline, but with four electric motors providing a combined 740 horsepower (737 pound-feet of torque), all-electric all-wheel drive coupe uses sophisticated torque vectoring and a multi-mode operating system to put oversteer - drifting! - back into the equation. Fun? You bet. See for yourself, below.

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

2015 Mercedes C-Class order guide leaked

Wed, 23 Apr 2014

We may not have an official starting price for the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but as of right now, we can tell you about all the options for the eagerly anticipated new luxury sedan.
Benz Report has the entire order guide for the C-Class, with breakdowns from package pricing to how many different colors, wheel designs and lighting configurations will be available when the new model hits dealers later this year. As we mentioned in our initial review of the C-Class, there will be a pair of engine options, with the now familiar 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder available in both rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations and a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6, which can be had in all-wheel drive, only.
From there, though, the available options are impressive. Much like it does on the current car, Mercedes is offering a pair of packages that sort of define the entire car. With the C300, buyers will have the choice of either a Sport or Luxury package in addition to the base trim, while C400 buyers are limited to the Sport model.
