Here you go Mercedes lovers, a 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC. This SEC is in great condition for a 28 year old car. It's currently a running, driving, registered car which just passed the VA State Inspection last month. The VA State Inspection is good until July 2014. All windows work as they should, including the sun roof. All signals, horn, work as well. The AC blows, but isn't cool, so assume it may need charging. All gauges in the dash appear to work correctly, with the exception of the clock. All seats are in great shape, with no tears or rips. Carpet cleans up, but could use a good shampooing. Headliner is also in place, but needs cleaning. The windows have a dated tint applied, which is showing it's age, and would recommend just removing it. The radio appears to work, and the antenna goes up and down as it should, but can't figure it out why I'm not getting any sound. Have all the original Kenwood manuals as well as the original Mercedes-Benz owners manual to review. Could be me, as I don't even use my radio! :) Also has a 6 CD changer in the trunk. It has a full size spare with an original Mercedes wheel in the trunk. All tires are good, and the custom wheels were painted to match the paint. They really look nice. The car appears to have had one repaint, which matches the original color. I've taken pictures of the paint chip in the upper passenger fender, and some minor fiberglass cracking in the rear passenger bumper. The lower front spoiler has had a minor fiberglass repair as well, because these things get beat up. The big V8 engine starts right up and motors down the road. Does sound like it has a small exhaust leak, that goes away when the exhaust gets warm, easy fix. Transmission shifts as it should, and all brakes slow this big car down. I've drove it, and it scutes down the road. Highway driving is a blast. Of course with any car of this vintage, a few weekends of minor TLC would make this thing perfect. Don't pass up a chance to own a very expensive car in its time. Good Luck!
*Please note; the original VIN for this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC is WDB1260441A135861. It is the VIN on the driver's door jamb tag and engine compartment tag. For some reason when listing, ebay cold not recognize this VIN, so entered one for another MB 560 SEC I'm listing. A neighbor who is a MB fanatic, states the reason could be this is a European model, but not 100% sure. I'm sure someone out there knows. Again, VIN for this 85 MB is WDB1260441A135861, as noted on both VIN tags. Sorry for any confusion. Good Luck!

X1, 3 Series power BMW back into global luxury autos sales lead
Thu, 14 Mar 2013BMW managed to eke ahead of Audi for the global luxury sales crown in February. According to Bloomberg, BMW saw deliveries swell by 7 percent in February, besting the 3.2 percent jump enjoyed by Audi and giving BMW a 407-unit delivery lead over its rival last month. Mercedes-Benz, meanwhile, continued to falter, with the brand selling some 37,229 fewer machines than BMW, whose factories are running at full capacity to keep up with demand. Models like the X1 (shown above) enjoyed a sales increase of 40 percent in February while the company's bread-and-butter 3 Series jumped by 26 percent.
Mercedes-Benz hopes to stem its continued market share loss with the addition of the entry-level CLA sedan to its portfolio in April. The company is set to roll out an updated version of its cash-cow E-Class at the same time, and a new-generation S-Class will follow along shortly thereafter. Meanwhile, the company is increasing production to meet demand for its A and B-Class models.

VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.
