I am basically giving this G Wagen away at this price. Needs to go now! Buy it now price is only a few hundred more than reserve to weed out non paying bidders. If you have zero feedback or no paypal acct please contact me before bidding. Secondly this is a 1985 G class wagon W460 but i had to list as a 1980 because Ebay cant configure the vin number. Selling a very nice Mercedes G280 Rare Air conditioning! Unleaded gas vehicle. Made for U.S. driving, nothing special needed to drive. Dirt cheap registration and insurance.  Factory running boards. New Keyless entry. New high end stereo with ipod hookup. This G Wagon was one of the very rare imported by Europa and was made for U.S. driving. Normal speedometer etc. Manual five speed Transmition makes it very fun to drive. 4x4 was just thoroughly gone through last year and functions great! Drives at highway speeds with no problems. Over $5,000 spent last year on everything from new gas tank, rear springs,sending unit, fuel filter,air filter,shocks, to high end Kenwood stereo system that is Bluetooth and Ipod capable and keyless entry alarm system. New tires. Factory 18" Mercedes wheels. Retains Titanium silver factory paint and unlike most out there has very little rust, a small amount next to the gas cap and some bubbles around the windshield. Frame and undercarraige are undercoated to prevent rust. Zero structural rust. Very clean underneath. factory cloth and leather interior is very clean. Dash area is like new, headliner is great. Some wear to drivers seat, others are excellent. All glass is perfect no cracks or rock chips, with dark tint. This G Wagen is fuel efficient as well and is very reliable with no major computers or electric systems that can break. It also never needs emission testing and the registration is dirt cheap. it is the ultimate off road vehicle. Long wheel base. My original plans were to paint it all Mercedes pearl white and recover the seats with black leather. I just don't have the heart to do it because the factory paint (with the exception of some minor bubbles as pictured) is just too nice and someone will surely love the retro look of the interior. The neat thing about these is that they look almost the same as the new models that cost around $165,000. Ive seen this model cloned to look just like the brand new G500, the body is almost identical. When driving this it gets all the looks because it is such an unusual and large truck, it towers over most SUV trucks and is built like a tank.  With that being said it would look amazing modernized with new bigger wheels and off road style tires. It already has modern luxuries in the new Kenwood ipod system and keyless entry. It also comes with genuine black sheepskin covers not installed. Rear brakes are a bit soft and will need work. These are easy rigs to work on and the parts cost a fraction of the new ones. Imagine owning a G-class for less than a Honda with easy maintenence!  I am selling it way below market value so someone will get a good deal on a timeless style truck that will last forever and actually appreciate as you drive. I welcome any and all inspections prior to auction end. Ask all questions and inspect before bidding. I can help with transport anywhere. Thank you.

Cadillac, Daimler execs take swipes at Tesla

Tue, Apr 22 2014

Despite the financial ties between Daimler and Tesla Motors, at least one Mercedes exec thinks the electric automaker doesn't have a bright future. And over at Cadillac, the message is that Tesla doesn't pose a threat but offers the luxury arm of General Motors more of classroom experience. The Mercedes story runs like this. Mercedes-Benz USA president and CEO, Steve Cannon, said at the New York Auto Show last week that Tesla has "no network" and only offers "little shops that don't have service capacity." He also said: "Folks are buying a Tesla now because they're kind of cool, but if you're a Tesla buyer, you have to have multiple cars. With Mercedes, you have a whole network. You've got no worries. ... Tesla is great, but you've got plenty of well-established brands that mean luxury, like Porsche or Mercedes-Benz, and how long do you think we're going to wait and let Tesla be out there alone [selling premium electric cars]?" "Treehuggers do not buy new luxury cars" – Uwe Ellinghaus For Cadillac's global chief marketing officer, Uwe Ellinghaus, Tesla's EV success represents little other than "a great opportunity and a learning exercise for all of us, and will help us traditional manufacturers to think twice about electric mobility." He added that, "I am not afraid of Tesla. ... There is no willingness to really sacrifice on the traditional qualities of a luxury car. These are not cars for treehuggers, as treehuggers do not buy new luxury cars." Ellinghaus made the comments during a panel discussion at the 2014 Automotive Forum. Perhaps the lesson of Tesla's offer of free Supercharging to Model S owners is what led to Cadillac to recently announce a deal with Chargepoint that gives ELR drivers access to that company's 16,500 charging stations. Read more details on that below. Cadillac and ChargePoint Bring EV Customer Luxury Driving Experience World's largest, most open electric vehicle charging network available to ELR drivers 2014-04-16 NEW YORK – Cadillac today announced a partnership with ChargePoint, the largest and most open electric vehicle-charging network in the world. The collaboration brings Cadillac ELR drivers immediate access to more than 16,500 charging locations on the ChargePoint network. The ELR electrified luxury coupe went on sale at the end of 2013. It embodies Cadillac's Art & Science design philosophy, combining provocative design with progressive technology.

Why it's difficult to accurately test the efficiency of a plug-in car

Thu, Feb 5 2015

When it comes to electric vehicles and plug-ins in general, the Environmental Protection Agency-certified range is a hugely important number. While actual range anxiety is largely psychological, the magic number does provide a point of comparison of buyers considering one EV over another. The driving distance is also often touted by automakers when marketing their models. Unfortunately, as Green Car Reports finds in a recent deep dive, the way the EPA calculates the figure is a convoluted mess, and discovering the reasons why is definitely worth the read. The issue isn't about bad science but instead comes down to vague wording. The EPA's accepted range test is sourced from an evaluation called J-1634 from the Society of Automotive Engineers, and it seems to provide balanced results for vehicles that automatically reach a single state of charge when plugged in. However for models with multiple charge settings, the situation gets complicated very quickly. Of course, these modes are often created in the software, meaning that a car's certified driving distance can change with just a few taps of the keyboard without the real world results owners might experience actually changing. By showing the test's effects on the certified range for the Tesla Model S, Nissan Leaf and Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive over the last few years, Green Car Reports makes a compelling argument that it's the evaluation that needs to change. Thankfully, it appears that the solution is a very simple one. Get the details here.
