This is a sale for my 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 4.5L
I bought this Mercedes straight out of a storage unit a few months ago. According to the driving log/record book that was in the passenger seat, the last time the car was driven was back in 1999 for something like 12 miles. The original owner then stored the Mercedes in a storage garage. According to the storage facility manager, the original owner passed away, and due to non-payment the vehicle became their property. I was a tow truck driver, and was dispatched to pick the Mercedes up and take it to a tire shop to fix the flat. Eventually, he talked me into buying it. Well, I never got a chance to work on it (monetarily) and now I just want to do something else. I know that in order to start a vehicle that's been in storage PROPERLY, there's a list of things you should do before turning the engine over. I never wound up getting enough time and money together to change the oil, shoot oil into the spark plug cylinders, drain the gas tank, or other fluids, etc... so, I HAVEN'T STARTED IT. I thought a person who wanted to restore this vehicle wouldn't want everything gummed up with old bad fluids, so that puts me at a disadvantage for sales. MY old tow manager told me I should start it anyways just to say that it runs and drives... But, I decided to stick to my guns on not starting it until the fluids were changed.... so, here we are. However, I DID hook up a jump box to the battery to check all electrical, and the vents, etc. SO that's how I know all of that stuff works. The Good:: -Only 102k miles -Was in a storage unit for roughly the last 13 years -Extremely NICE Interior -No Dents -All fluids look clean -Power Windows Work -Radio and all speakers work -The Vents all work and blow air -Have Clear title -Horn works -All lights (tail, head, signal, reverse, interior...+) work -No door sag -NO RUST* The Bad:: -The flaky clear-coat makes the car look like $#!+ -Still has a flat tire -*Some pitting is starting on the chrome rims -The windshield washer fluid reservoir is cracked -There is a tear on the backseat, and a bit of the stitching is coming undone (refer to pictures) -The dashboard has three cracks on it (refer to pictures) -All fluids are 13+ years old -No trunk key (It's a different key than the ignition -$15@Benz-dealer w/title) -Slight scrape on front right bumper (refer to picture) If I missed anything or you have questions:: Email, Message or call: Daryl. 512-219-1981 |

Detroit Auto Show prankster 'damages' hundreds of thousands of dollars of cars
Thu, Jan 29 2015Obtaining credentials for an auto show is generally a pretty selective process, especially at one of the world's premier shows, like Geneva, Los Angeles or Detroit. That didn't stop online prankster Dennis Roady from getting credentialed for the 2015 North American International Auto Show on behalf of a Russian YouTube channel to cover the show. While he wasn't brought on strictly to cause mischief, Roady couldn't help but have some fun at the expense of the product specialists during the serious business of covering the show. He took to an app called "Dude, Your Car," which allows Apple iPhone users to take snaps of vehicles and then edit them to add some serious, but fake, dents and scratches. Naturally, the pranking session was caught on video, where you can enjoy the sight of poor product specialists freaking out over damage to vehicles ranging from the Mercedes-Maybach S600 to the Audi R8 and a lovely Dodge Challenger. Take a look. News Source: howtoPRANKitup via YouTube, The Detroit News Humor Detroit Auto Show Audi Dodge Mercedes-Benz Coupe Luxury Performance Videos Sedan 2015 Detroit Auto Show prank
2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600 First Drive
Mon, Jan 19 2015Imagine the audacity: during the salad days of the early 2000s, the company that invented the automobile – already synonymous with class-leading luxury – sought to further expand its portfolio by crashing the ultraluxury party. Going up against the likes of Rolls-Royce and Bentley, Mercedes-Benz traded its unmistakable Three-Pointed Star for a Mighty Mouse-like logo, exhuming a stately, long-dead German marque originally founded in 1909. The long-wheelbase Maybach 62 listed at an epic $360,000, while later spinoffs included curiosities like the nearly $700,000 Zeppelin, and a roofless, seven-figure limousine dubbed Laundaulet. By the time the financial bubble finally burst in 2008, the brand's fate was all but sealed, with US sales dropping into the double digits. It limped along another four years, but when the nameplate finally went kerplunk, it left behind it a trail of disappointed movers, shakers, moguls and rappers. The perfect postmodern metaphor for the brand's funeral pyre? Kanye West and Jay-Z's Otis music video, in which a perfectly fine Maybach is chopped and deconstructed, flames spewing out the tailpipes as it powerslides through an empty parking lot. Meet The (Sorta) New Boss Rising from the ashes of hubris is the 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600, a recalibrated stab at high-end luxury with a startlingly similar, yet different, approach to its forbear. Like the last go, the new sled features a significantly longer wheelbase, which stretches 8.1 inches over the standard S600. Additional sound damping helps it claim the quietest rear cabin in all of production automobiledom, and posher trim bits include a rim of wood surrounding the reclining rear seats. Among the livery-focused special features is a rearview mirror-mounted microphone to amplify the driver's voice, an available rear fridge, and an executive seat package with folding tray tables. The super high-end hallmarks are there – a twin-turbo V12 dispatching sub-5 second 0 to 60 times, a stunning 24 speaker Burmester sound system, double-M branded silver plate champagne flutes, et al. – but the hyperinflated price tag is not. Starting at $189,350, roughly half the cost of the old flagship, the new Maybach isn't even the most expensive Mercedes-Benz you can buy. That distinction goes to the S65 AMG Coupe, which empties your coffers to the tune of $230,900.
Mercedes-AMG teases GT interior, announces fall 2014 debut
Tue, 15 Apr 2014Mercedes-Benz opted to tease the assembled media at its post-New York Auto Show party, showing off a pair of images of the exquisitely crafted interior of the highly anticipated successor of the SLS AMG - the V8-powered Mercedes-AMG GT.
Slated for a debut in the fall at either Paris or Los Angeles (we're betting Paris), you'll note straight away that there's something wrong with this car's name. Where's the "Benz?" Well, it's been ditched to, as Mercedes says, "make the dream of the authentic Mercedes-AMG sports car come true." Sorry Karl.
"The new Mercedes-AMG GT proves that we will be positioning AMG as a dynamic sports car brand even more strongly and aggressively than before," said Tobias Moers, CEO of Mercedes-AMG.
