1976 Mercedes Benz 450 SEL
These W116 body Mercedes Benz are the last of the great "Old World" Mercedes. Stately and sophisticated, they look rich and drive superbly. No plastic bumpers or trim on the outside.
This is rust free two-owner California car. Original and desirable blue and gold California license plates. Silver paint looks and shows very nice, but upon close inspection there are small paint chips and minor paint imperfections here and there. Most all of the paint issues could be solved through a professional detail and paint touch up, after all the car is 36 years old.
The blue upholstery is in good shape with no rips or tears. The front leather seats look like they were replaced by the prior owner and are still very soft and supple. The front driver armrest leather has cracked and could be replaced. Door panels and carpet are presentable. The dash pad has one crack and is protected by a velour blue cover. The wood trim on the dash looks nice. The headliner has a small tear in the rear but is very serviceable as is.
Mechanically the car is very sound. It doesn't burn oil and with a little under 130K miles it has a lot of life left in it. The air pump has seized and should be replaced or rebuilt eventually, but the car runs fine regardless. Brake pads, alternator, and battery were recently replaced within the last couple months. The tires match and have plenty of tread left.
All systems in the car work, with the exception of the fog lights. The drivers side mount cracked however the lamp itself will be included in the sale. The power windows go up and down without issues, The vacuum door locks still function from the drivers key. The vehicle has a large factory electric sunroof that opens and closes smoothly and has had new weather strips fitted to it. The car is now equipped with Pioneer CD player with a iPod input and new speakers.
I am selling simply because I have too many cars and am looking to thin out my meager collection a bit. The car is currently registered through October 2013. The title is clear and in my name.
The car is sold "as is". I will assist any prospective buyers with a pre-purchase inspection at any reputable shop in the LA area. Please ask any questions prior to bidding. The car is very close to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and I can facilitate transportation there for International shipping.

Next Mercedes-Benz C-Class to get diesel, hybrid versions
Tue, 16 Apr 2013Mercedes-Benz is planning a more aggressive product strategy for its next-generation C-Class range. "We were fighting the 3 Series with two arms tied behind our back, and now we will change that," Steve Cannon, the automaker's US CEO, told Automotive News in a recent interview.
In addition to offering more body styles of the new C-Class, AN reports that the revamped Mercedes will also be offered here with hybrid and diesel powertrains. Currently, the C-Class comes in coupe and sedan variants, with only gasoline engines. The BMW 3 Series, however, is available as a sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon, and offers buyers the choice of gasoline, diesel (the upcoming 328d) or hybrid power.
Mercedes-Benz will show the next-generation C-Class at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, with sales of the US-built sedan following in August. Coupe, convertible and hybrid models will follow in early 2015, and while diesel and all-wheel-drive versions are planned, no specific timetable has been released regarding availability.
2024 Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV tops $180,000
Tue, Oct 24 2023The 2024 Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV is staking claim to the "next era of driving pleasure," but that pleasure will come at a steep price. The company officially announced Wednesday that the super-lux, battery-electric SUV starts at $181,050 (assuming the $1,150 destination fee doesn't increase for 2024) — $50,000 more than the standard Mercedes-Benz EQS 580. And you can order one starting today. While U.S. figures are still partially up in the air, we do have some preliminary specs. To go with its 649-horsepower output, the EQS 680 SUV was rated at 600 km of total range on the WLTP cycle, which works out to about 373 miles. While Mercedes-Benz doesn't have EPA figures to offer, the EQS 580 is rated at approximately 340 miles with the same pack and a very similar (613 km) WLTP-certified range. 0-60 comes in just 4.1 seconds on the way to a top speed of 130 MPH. Charging the EQS 680 SUV back up from 0% will take a bit longer — nearly 13 hours on a Level II AC charger — but DC fast charging (10-80%) takes just 31 minutes at its max throughput rate of 200 kW. The Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV is available with five different two-tone color combinations. All of the two-tone options will feature the lighter color on the bottom half of the SUV, since the darker tone up top better accentuates the vehicleÂ’s aerodynamics. Maybach-specific design details include vertical metal-look lines in the EQSÂ’ faux grille and a Mercedes-Benz star ornament on the hood. ThereÂ’s a Maybach logo on the D-pillar and the taillights have a unique running light pattern. Mercedes-Benz says 21-inch wheels are standard for now; larger 22-inch wheels, as well as a sixth two-tone paint option, will come later. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Maybach lost upwards of $500k on each vehicle sold
Wed, 08 Feb 2012Daimler is shuttering Maybach in 2013 after seven years of production. In that time, the company's ultra-ultra-luxury arm managed to sell just 3,000 units, and CAR reports Daimler lost somewhere around $500,000 on each and every one of them.
Even with a ludicrous price tag of over $370,000 for an "entry" Maybach 57, the brand couldn't quite recoup the dizzying $1.33 billion Daimler poured into it since its (re)inception. Rumors ignited over a possible tie up with Aston Martin that would have resulted in a range of new and attractive models, but Daimler has instead decided to snuff out Maybach altogether.
We can hardly blame them.
