1975 450 Sl Mercedes Benz With 75000 Miles on 2040-cars
|
Not many cars defy time like this beautiful 1975 Mercedes Benz 450SL. Even today nearly 25 years after they went out of production, they still command respect and remain grad A cars to own & drive, representing a excellent investment. This 450 SL sports a lovely light Ivory exterior that looks great with the bamboo (tan) interior and a new brown convertible top. With only 75K original miles the condition of the car is exceptional which is a testament to the quality of original material & the German engineering and the care that has been given the car since new. All chrome & stainless remains bright. The condition of the interior strongly suggest that it has been exceptionally well maintained. Overhead is a new brown convertible tops that fits snugly & of course the matching hard top is like new. The trunk has the original mat, spar tire, jack & even the original set of tools in the tool pouch. The 4.5 liter V-8 engine is a wonderful machine. The engine compartment is well maintained with no leaks. The three speed automatic transmission shifts great. There is no rust on the car and even has a Rust Buster installed in the trunk which electronically controls corrision .
History of the MB: I purchased March 2012 from Black Forest Mercedes Benz in Glendale, Wi. They had purchased from original owners. The engine had seized due to oil pump failure. Black Forest completely disassembled the engine & rebuilt, replaced all seals in the transmission, motor mounts replaced, steering idler arms bushing replaced, all new belts, coolant hoses, all new fuel line hoses including injector lines. Ignition coil, ballast resistors, dist. cap & rotor ignition wires spark plugs new. All operating fluids were replaced:coolant power steering fluid, differential oil, brake fluid. New shock absorbers, new Kumho Ecsta ASX tires. The mileage when all this work was accomplished was 70,311. I have all the invoices from the work & the total was $11,915.00. Additional extra nice features have been added to the car. 1986 15" MB alloy wheels, front spoiler, and a draft stop screen to be used when the top is down. Also, have installed a new fold top case mechanism, rear sway bar links and catalytic converter. There is a very small crack in the front edge of the dash, small paint bubble on right door by chrome (photo shows) and small scratches just below the back window from removing the hard top. I have tried to describe a true picture of this vehicle. You can see that I have 100% positive reviews on Ebay. This is one beautiful mechanical free 450SL that is truly ready to enjoy this spring & summer. The reserve is set very reasonable. I will be happy to answer any questions but do request only serious inquires please. Will also be available to assist with shipping needs. |

US buyers show little interest in big hybrids
Sat, May 10 2014The idea of producing large, luxury-vehicle hybrids is turning into a "what were they thinking?" exercise in futility, USA Today reports. General Motors is discontinuing hybrid versions of the Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon SUVs, while Mercedes-Benz and Toyota's Lexus division are doing the same with their S-Class hybrid and LS hybrid sedans, respectively. The culprit? Big price increases for fuel economy improvements that border on the unimpressive. Granted, the Escalade hybrid gets 31 percent better fuel economy than the standard version, but that still maps out to a combined fuel-efficiency rating of just 21 miles per gallon. That can be seen as a worthwhile increase, if it didn't cost over $8,000 extra. The 2014 Escalade Hybrid, for example, starts at $74,425 while the non-hybrid can be had for $66,295. Meanwhile, the Lexus full-size hybrid costs $6,000 more than the regular version but only gets 1-2 mpg better combined fuel economy. The result of all these high costs? Low sales. Through April, GM sold 82 of its hybrid SUVs and pickups, down from 541 a year earlier. And the LS hybrid sales were in single-digit territory for April. That isn't stopping Lexus from promoting its hybrids as the right solution (with the wrong facts), though. There are still automakers giving big hybrid vehicles a shot, though. Nissan's Infiniti division is selling a hybrid version of its QX60 and says an impressive 10 percent of QX60 buyers choose the hybrid, which costs just $3,000 more. Looks like money talks.

Porsche teams with Delta airlines to woo VIP passengers
Sun, 15 Sep 2013The next time you're waiting for a flight at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, see if you can spot a Porsche Cayenne or Panamera zipping between aircraft on the busy tarmac. The high-performance German vehicles aren't there practicing for an upcoming autocross; they are tasked with whisking some of the airline's most important customers between flights so they can keep their busy schedules intact.
Launched nearly two years ago, the program has proven popular with the automaker, airline and passengers as all benefit from the unique arrangement. Atlanta-based Porsche is able to showcase its cars to Delta's frequent-flying Medallion members, the airline is recognized for providing unusual perks to its high-value customers and those fortunate enough to be surprised with a quick lift are able to make connections without a stressful run through the terminal. Based on its success, the airline is rolling our similar programs in New York, Los Angeles and Minneapolis this month.
And don't think Porsche is the only automaker working with an airline to entice its frequent flyers. Mercedes-Benz ran a program over the summer that offered purchasing and leasing incentives to MileagePlus Premier members of United Airlines, and the two are currently shuttling top fliers around Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport in the automaker's S-Class and GL-Class models.
