If you have always wanted THE super coupe from the Gordon Gekko extravagant 1980's this is your chance! Up for auction is a super clean 1986 5.6 liter 238 horsepower 287 lbs. of torque fire breathing land rocket.  This is the forgotten coupe that was the car that all others aspired to be during the Big Hair Big Metal Bands heyday!  1986 is a pivotal year in the history of the W126/C126 chassis because it is the first year of the 5.6 motor that was a huge horsepower increase over the 5.0 of 1984/1985.  This motor was brought over to the USA to deal with the challenges being brought forth by the likes of BMW Lexus and Jaguar.  This 560 sec has ice cold AC all of the windows go up an down for the "full coupe" hardtop convertible experience.  The sunroof tilts perfectly but sometimes the sunroof does not slide back without a little help.  The original floor mats are in nice shape and the steering wheel has a cover on it.  All of the problems areas on the SEC are functioning in this car-- The seat belt "butler" is working. The dashboard is beautiful with no cracks and the rear self-leveling suspension is trouble-free. The steering wheel forward and back option is working. The seats are in good shape but have covers on them for protection. The fog-lights are fine as are the headlight wipers that come with the car.  The wood all around the car is in super shape and all of the window switches work fine.  The adjustable passenger mirror switch works great but sometimes the clip gets a little loose in its position.  The rear of the interior has cloth covers on it to protect it from the rear sun glare. The paint is in stellar shape but appears to have been redone at some point in its life.  The headliner is in nice shape but seems a little weak near the rear glass. A picture is included.  The rear glass is not leaking nor is it getting the famous white delamination. The HVAC system is great but sometimes the off button needs to be pushed a little harder to keep it in its position and on some settings the blower sends 20% of the air to the defroster vents.  I am not sure if this is normal or if it is a vacuum leak.  These cars are notorious for the complicated HVAC system. The original HVAC tutorial card is included.  The car has upgraded speakers all around and a Pioneer CD player but the original Becker is included for the purists out there.  The car has brand new tires as well as a set of new front brake pads and just had the transmission and rear differential serviced. The car even has the original wheels that it came with and has a great spare in the trunk and even still has the Mercedes-Benz First Aid Kit. The motor on this car is in top shape and she has a great bill of health.  She does not burn any oil and there is no noise coming from the chains or guides.  She idles a little over 600 @ idle with the air off and around 800 with the AC on.  I just completed a 500 mile round trip in the car and she was a champ.  The brakes and transmission service were just done after the trip so she is ready to enjoy for many more miles.  This car has the ultra rare BIRD brand armrest that opens up and can store things or add a cup holder. This may seem like no big deal but they are a $500 piece and still go for a lot of money used.  This car has all of the original manuals from 1986 and even has the letter stating how long it would take to get a new key from Germany should you need it. as well as the original instructional cassettes on the becker radio and SRS system. The reserve on this car is super low for how clean it is and this car is well above the other "rats" that are being shown on the internet.  She is not a museum piece but a solid driver that would make any person proud to own her.  They truly do not make the German Sherman Tanks like this anymore.  The hand built Mercedes coupes are a thing of beauty.  The weight of the door as it closes and makes the "bank vault thud" should be an experience that all should enjoy.  This truly is a land rocket that was designed to drive in comfort from Key West to Washington State.  I have great feedback and can send many more pictures.  I have been as honest about my knowledge of all defects but things will go wrong on a car new or old.  AC may stop working or transmissions may get sluggish etc over time but that will happen with cars.   If you have any questions please ask! As with any car that is nearly 30 years old with over 150k miles things may go wrong with the car that I was not aware of or were not a problem when I created this ad.  Please use common sense when bidding on an older car. I have to repeat what I wrote above because I thought this car had "sold" already but the buyer had already purchased a different vehicle in their home state and did not realize they won this SEC.

2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA priced from $31,300*

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

Mercedes-Benz has kindly let loose the price of the 2015 GLA-Class, telling Autoblog.com that the base 208-horsepower GLA250 in two-wheel drive will go for $31,300 *not including a destination charge of $925. That makes for $32,225 in total to get one off the lot, a price predicted as early as last year and in our recent First Drive. The other two available models can push power to all four wheels, and after the destination fee is applied the GLA240 4Matic (pictured) will be $34,225 while the 355-horsepower GLA45 AMG will change lives and wallets to the tune of $49,225.
On the base scale, that puts the GLA250 just a few hundred dollar bills above the more powerful, rear-wheel drive BMW X1 and a stack of hundreds below the less powerful, front-wheel drive Audi Q3. If you're keeping in-house score, the GLA250 comes in at $1,400 above its sedan platform-mate with the same engine, the CLA250. At the high end, however, the competition doesn't have anything that can touch the AMG trim. Not that it should matter all that much - Mercedes needed something to keep these buyers in the family, and now they have it. If any of them should need even more power and more money spent, then there's always that 394-hp Brabus flavor. We'll have more info and details on each trim when Mercedes unleashes the shebang in the not-too-distant future.

European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year

Tue, Dec 16 2014

There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced

Wed, Jul 6 2016

Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.
