Since I was a child I loved Mercedes Benz vehicles and growing up in Germany I was even working for the factory in Stuttgart-Untertuerkheim during my College breaks.
Needless to say I had many MBZs over the years--some I sold, some I still have.

I will spare you the whole story about the W123 cars and also the life stories of the previous owners of my car, instead I would like to give you the facts. Here we go:

Milanbrown Metallic Color Code 404
Bamboo MB-Tex Code 104

Started its life in Alaska and was shipped to the first owner's winter residence in Tucson AZ after a couple of years. Second owner is an AK resident, who also kept it titled in AK but had it
at his winter residence in Palm Springs, CA where it was also serviced for the last several years.

91k original miles, verified with the previous owner;  working odometer and trip-odometer and marked "original" on current California title. When the vehicle was traded in to a large franchised dealership in the Inland Empire it had a big folder with service records which was unfortunately discarded. 

Original paint is in excellent shape, except for a small dent on the right front fender and some surface rust on the right front wheel well from the first couple of years in Alaska.
Floor pan and rocker panels are completely rust free.

Interior is in excellent condition without any rips, sun damage or tears. There are no cracks on the dashboard. The upper plastic inner window trim started to shrivel from the heat but has no
cracks either. The wood on the dash is very shiny and undamaged. The carpet has no stains. Both front seats cannot be height-adjusted anymore, however the front and aft adjustment functions properly.
It has a newer Blaupunkt single CD stereo with fully-functioning power antenna.

There is a fairly new compressor for the A/C which now runs on R134a and it blows ice cold air. All  functions of the "old-style" climate control work flawlessly.
Power windows and cruise control work, power door locks do not work.

The car has a new battery and a new starter and even after a couple of months it starts without any problems. Oil pressure at idle when the engine is warm is at a healthy 2.5
The transmission shifts amazingly smooth without slipping or hesitation.
The front end is very tight.

This car needs nothing and can be enjoyed the way it is right now.

Since it's a 37 year old car, there are no warranties expressed or implied.

I will gladly help with shipping within the USA or overseas.

2017 Mercedes-Maybach S650 Cabriolet includes guaranteed exclusivity

Wed, Nov 16 2016

For certain buyers, the only thing better than a super-luxurious cabriolet that requires enormous sums of money to buy is a a super-luxurious cabriolet that money can't buy. That's what Daimler promises with the 2017 Mercedes-Maybach S650 Cabriolet to be unveiled at the LA Auto Show. Limited to 300 units worldwide and just 75 in the US, having just three available color combinations magnifies the exclusivity. Turning the Mercedes-Benz S-Class cabrio into a droptop worthy of the Maybach family means slight revisions outside and in, and a whole lot of Maybach badges. Instead of the three lower intakes familiar from Mercedes' corporate language, there's black mesh highlighted by a shiny design element. It's not the most graceful face from dead-on, looking sort of like a chrome-lined grimace picked up from Wallace and Gromit. A Maybach emblem adorns the fenders and gleaming kickplates, the 20-inch wheels add an edge to the brand's traditional dinner-plate design. The 6.0-liter, twin-turbo V12 carries over from the donor convertible, with the same 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque hooked up to a seven-speed automatic transmission. The only three color treatments available in the US will be Zircon Red with a porcelain and black interior and a black top, Cote d'Azur Blue with a porcelain and saddle interior and a beige top, and Designo Diamond White with a porcelain and Yacht Blue interior with a dark blue top. The cabin works nautical themes lifted in part from the Mercedes-Benz Style Arrow 460-Granturismo yacht. Perforations in the leather seats evoke waterfalls. The "Flowing Lines" trim ornamenting the seats comes two different colors depending on the exterior hue; either "Piano lacquer" black with the Zircon Red or Magnolia Nut Brown with the other two options. Buyers will find profuse badging in embroidered, embossed, and inlaid varieties, as well as chrome-plated "1 of 300" lettering in several places like the cup holder and steering wheel. The few lucky customers who buy an S650 will also find a four-piece set of Maybach-badged luggage in the truck, two travel bags and two weekenders tooled up in the same leather as the interior. The key fob gets finished in Porcelain leather. A car cover comes standard, in the same color as the convertible top. A certificate signed by the mustachioed one, Daimler Chairman Dr. Dieter Zetsche, provides the corporate-badged icing on the cake.

Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive gets official US launch

Mon, Jul 21 2014

It's finally time to plug in the first production Mercedes-Benz-branded electric vehicle in the US. The Daimler division, which also sells a few of its battery-electric Smart ForTwo vehicles here in the states, has officially launched sales of the Mercedes-Benz B-Class ED. Even better, the US will be the first market in the world to give the general public access to the new plug-in. As with many other EV debuts, the flyover states will have to wait a bit. Mercedes-Benz is only selling the B-Class ED in 10 coastal states, including California, Oregon, New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Maine, and hasn't said anything about when a broader release might happen. Earlier this month, the US Department of Energy rated the B-Class electric with an 87-mile single-charge range, which is comparable to that of the Nissan Leaf and BMW i3. The other shoe dropped, though, when it was revealed that the model has an 84 miles per gallon equivalent rating, which is about 30 percent less then both of those other EVs. The culprit for the model, which puts out 177 horsepower and has a base price of $41,150, is its heavier curb weight. Check out Autoblog's "First Drive" impressions here.
