Concho, Arizona, United States
If you have any questions or would like to view the car in person please email me at: roryrccozad@tifosi.net .
Rare 4-speed manual transmission German Euro model with only two owners. I purchased the vehicle from the original
German owners in Sedona, Arizona for my wife as a first wedding anniversary present. I was informed that the
original owners imported the vehicle in 1972 without U.S. conversion. I was told that the couple's main residence
was in Germany, and that they only used the car on occasion when staying at their second home in Sedona. The
vehicle is an all original, unmolested Pagoda with original chrome, and gauges in kilometers. There are 125,333 km
on the car- the equivalent to 79,535 miles. The car has the original windshield with original stickers from Germany
(pictured). Also note that the U.S. license plate is attached on top of the German license plate, so that no
additional holes were drilled into the body of the car (pictured). The original German plate will be provided in
the sale. The vehicle has always been garage stored in Arizona, eliminating rust potential. It has been well
maintained, and has over thirteen pages of service records. The vehicle recently received an entirely new muffler
system and the power steering pump was recently rebuilt. It has a soft top, as well as the well sought after
original hard top (hard top storage stand will be included in sale- pictured). It is extremely difficult to source
an original Pagoda in this condition.

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.
Maybach officially discontinues all models for 2013
Tue, 14 Aug 2012The word "Maybach" has joined the long list of synonyms for the word "kaput." Mercedes-Benz released the price list for the 2013 models of its super-luxury sedans, with the price column simply stating "Discontinued" for each one of them.
The 2012 models, should there be any left for 11th-hour buyers, maintain the increased MSRPs that Daimler slapped on them late last year after it was known the brand would be terminated next year. But you might still be able to wrangle that $100,000 rebate if you ask nicely, or in Russian, or have Rick Ross ask for you.
It shouldn't be too long before we see the ultimate version of the next generation S-Class, the S600 Pullman, that will replace Maybach. Intriguingly, it's said the Pullman will be offered with every S-Class engine, even the four-cylinder diesel.

Wed, 06 Mar 2013Mercedes Makes A Mighty Little Sedan
We got overexcited when the W203 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan came out in 2001, calling it the "Baby Benz" when it really wasn't. We knew that, too, but our enthusiasm for a model more like the old 190 of the '80s was so strong that we were willing to stretch the first-gen C-Class to fit that mold. Today, the C-Class has done what all German premium cars do: grown in size. In this case, grown to satisfy the market intentions of the previous E-Class.
There was the tall A-Class sold from 1998 through 2010, but we never considered that a serious small Benz in the proper spirit, nor was it ever offered in the US. Regardless, we've been craving a smaller, premium, sexy sedan all the while.
