1984 Mercedes Benz 500 SL Convertible Coupe / Roadster Please note: This is the actual European VIN# WDB1070461A009992. The other number with all zeros is due to Ebay not accepting the actual number on the title, which is in my name. There is also a Bureau of Automotive Repair (B.A.R.) number A24676 in the driver side door jamb, which can clearly be seen in one of the images. Additionally, this car has all the requisite smog additions and is currently registered in California, so it currently is in compliance with all California state and federal EPA requirements. I have been informed this might also be known as a "Gray Market" car, but has been registered in California since the late 1980's or so, without any problems.
License plate number, This car was donated to our non-profit foundation, so we have only had the car a short time. Our understanding is this is a European Mercedes, purchased in The car runs and drives great and for the most part was always maintained by a Mercedes dealer or authorized Mercedes Benz mechanic. The car was checked out and we found just about everything on the car is in proper working order, including: Headlights (high and low beams), brake lights, turn signals, driving lights, dash lights, dome lights, emergency flashers, power passenger side mirror, radio, horn, cigarette lighter, power windows, central locking system, heater, fan on all speeds and settings, air conditioning (but might need a recharge), power antenna, seatbelts, all gauges, windshield wipers on all speeds, etc. Things we found that DO NOT WORK, the dash clock, possibly the seat warmers… it was rather warm out and we could not tell if they worked, but the lights on the switches work on both positions. We could not figure out how to turn on the fog lights, so we do not know if they work. The windshield washers did not spray water, so we do not know if they are clogged or there is no washer fluid in the system, HOWEVER the wipers DO work on all speeds. The radio is made by Alpine, model number CDM 7871 and apparently is a CD model, but we do not know how it works. The radio turns on and the antenna goes up when it does, but that is about all we could figure out. There is a very small phone antenna on the rear trunk lid. The tires are near new, Goodyear Assurance brand. The rims are apparently aftermarket. The dash is cracked and so is the leather on both seats, the ABS light on the dash comes on and off, intermittently, and there is a slight leak from the transmission. The car has the chrome wheel lip moldings, rubber rear trunk lid spoiler, nice original carpets, nice door panels (with Kenwood speakers in them). There are two more speakers behind the driver and passenger seats on the horizontal part of the rear deck area or package shelf.
Car comes with a car cover. The car might have been repainted years ago, but if so, it was a high quality repaint of the original black color. The car would have had all the trim, bright-work, bumpers and all else removed as there is no paint on any of them. The red pin striping has been buffed through in several places. There are the very few regular parking lot dings and one bubbled spot of paint on the driver side front fender behind the chrome wheel lip molding and above the belt body side molding, about the size of a half dollar.
This is a NO RESERVE auction. If you are the winning bidder, you are the new owner. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask BEFORE you bid. We have tried to carefully explain all that is going on with the car and we want to have a positive experience for both parties.
THERE IS NO WARRANTY IMPLIED OR EXPRESSED WITH THIS AUTOMOBILE OR THIS SALE. Buyer assumes all responsibility for vehicle once car is paid for and leaves seller's hands. CAR IS STRICTLY BEING SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS!
BUYER ASSUMES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR PICK UP OR SHIPPING. We will cooperate with any shipper once payment has been made in full, but will not ship, deliver or send this car. |

Mercedes details plans for move to Georgia
Fri, Feb 6 2015Automakers are getting restless in America, moving their headquarters from one location to another. Toyota is shifting its US operations to Dallas, Porsche is moving to a new headquarters across town, Cadillac is relocating from Detroit to New York, but lately the news has been about Mercedes. The German automaker has run its US operations out of its current facility in Montvale, NJ for decades, but now it's preparing to relocate to a new facility in Atlanta. And it has just announced further details of the move. The company is building a new facility at the corner of Abernathy and Barfield in Sandy Springs outside of Atlanta. That's right near where the Georgia 400 meets Interstate 285 near Hartsfield-Jackson airport, giving Mercedes access to an existing infrastructure of hotels, restaurants and of course transportation routes. The facility will take up a 12-acre plot of land and is earmarked for completion in early 2018. Lest you think MBUSA will stay put in Montvale in the meantime, though, it won't. The company is actually going to relocate twice, moving in the meantime to a temporary, 186,000-square-foot facility at the Perimeter Center in Dunwoody, GA. That move will kick off in July. The move detailed earlier this week at a press conference at the Georgia State Capitol with Governor Nathan Deal will see Mercedes hiring hundreds of new employees in Atlanta. Even after it moves down south, though, the company will keep certain functions in New Jersey, both in Montvale and in Robbinsville where it has its parts distribution center. MERCEDES-BENZ USA ANNOUNCES DETAILS OF NEW CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS IN ATLANTA MBUSA to occupy interim office space in Central Perimeter before opening new, state-of-the-art facility in 2018 February 03, 2015 - ATLANTA -- At a press conference today at the Georgia State Capitol, Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) announced the permanent and interim locations for its new corporate headquarters in Atlanta. Company President and CEO Stephen Cannon made the announcement with Georgia Governor Nathan Deal. MBUSA, which is currently headquartered in Montvale, New Jersey, will construct a new, state-of-the-art headquarters facility on a greenfield site located at the corner of Abernathy and Barfield roads in Sandy Springs, expected to be completed in early 2018.
Weekly Recap: Toyota propels hydrogen fuel cells
Sat, Jan 10 2015Toyota is serious about hydrogen fuel cells, and it wants the auto industry to follow suit. The Japanese automaker said this week it's releasing 5,680 fuel cell patents from around the world, including technologies used on its upcoming sedan, the 2016 Mirai. The move is unusual, but not unprecedented, as Tesla similarly released its electric vehicle patents last year. The idea for Tesla, and now for Toyota, is to spur development of alternative propulsion. "By eliminating traditional corporate boundaries, we can speed the development of new technologies and move into the future of mobility more quickly, effectively and economically," said Bob Carter, Toyota Motor Sales senior vice president of automotive operations, in a statement. Toyota's fuel cell patents will be free to use through 2020, though patents related to producing and selling hydrogen will remain open forever. Toyota said it would like companies that use its patents to share their own hydrogen patents, but won't require it. "What Toyota's doing is really a logical move, and really a good move for the industry," Devin Lindsay, principal powertrain analyst with IHS Automotive, told Autoblog. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It comes as Toyota prepares to launch the hydrogen-powered Mirai in a limited number late this year in California. The launch will be extended to the Northeastern United States next year. Toyota also has announced plans to support networks of fueling stations in each region to try to smooth consumer adoption. The Mirai has a 300-mile range on a tank of hydrogen, and it takes about five minutes to refill. Fuel cells have been receiving increased attention recently, and Audi and Volkswagen debuted hydrogen-powered cars at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Honda, another proponent of the technology, also showed its updated FCV concept in November in Japan. The company, however, has delayed its fuel cell sedan a year until 2016. Like Toyota, Honda says its hydrogen-powered car will have a range of 300 miles or more. Meanwhile, Hyundai currently offers leases for fuel-cell powered Tucsons, which have a 265-mile range, in Southern California. Despite the optimism some automakers have for fuel cells, the technology still faces barriers. A lack of filling stations has long held it back, and many consumers are not familiar with the potential benefits.
Mercedes-Benz releases US-spec 2014 Sprinter details
Mon, 06 May 2013Last week, Mercedes-Benz released the details for the updated 2013 Sprinter intended for global markets, but this week it has announced what changes are being made to the US-spec version of the van for the 2014 model year, including the Freightliner model. As expected, most of the changes made to the European model will be present on the 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter when it goes on sale in the US, which is expected to be this fall.
The biggest difference between the Sprinter announced last week and the one headed to our shores is what is found under the hood. While European Sprinters will come with diesel engines and offer the availability of a supercharged four-cylinder gasoline or CNG engine, US Sprinters will still offer the 3.0-liter V6 BlueTEC diesel. This year's Sprinter now comes standard with a new base engine, the 2.1-liter four-cylinder BlueTEC diesel. This smaller engine will produce 161 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque, and will be paired to a seven-speed automatic transmission; the optional 3.0 V6 puts out 188 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, and will be mated to a six-speed auto.
Fuel economy for the new Sprinter has not been announced, but Mercedes-Benz has made numerous changes with the goal of improving efficiency. To this end you'll find a new, low-friction rear axle and the optimization for the generator, fuel pump and power steering pump.
