I have recently put over $5000.00 into major repairs on my car. I have all the receipts for the work that was done. New A/C system from R12 to R134a, Complete new fuel system, New Timing Chain, Newer tranny and brakes, new AUX cooling fan 165,000 Miles, Black original paint in good condition with a few light scratches and a few pebble chips on the hood. The interior is leather and in fair condition. There are some cracks on the dash and a small tear on the arm rest where your elbow rest. The passengers seat is good but the drivers side has a few splits along the seams in the seat area. But the seat back is good. And headrest are good. All just normal wear and tear on a convertible that is 25 years old. I am the 3rd owner. I bought it from a friend who bought it from his boss who bought it new. The original sticker is in the glove box. The car was always garage kept until recently. It has a AM/FM Cassette Player with a cd changer in the trunk. It has both the hard top and the soft top. The soft top is in good condition. The rear plastic window has a little sunburn but can still see out. The 3 things that I can think of that are wrong with the car is that the previous owner removed the vanity mirrors on the visors for whatever reason I don't know. Also the drivers side handle on the exterior is slightly loose but not bad and it works fine. And the trunk latch needs to be adjusted. it works fine but sometimes if you it a bump hard enough it will pop open. Other than that the car for its age is in really good shape. I bought this car as a fun car to drive around town in with the top down. Found it needed all the repairs that I have done to it. I had the repairs down and it has just sat in my driveway since. I have a truck that I drive all the time and never drive the car. And I would like to sell the car and recoup my money. In short I need the money more than the car. It's a great car now I just don't need it. If you have any questions please ask me. Thank you and good luck bidding.

The Mansory Speranza proves that money can buy taste and good sense...
Tue, 05 Mar 2013...Just kidding.
No one in their right mind has ever accused German tuners Mansory of being subtle. So, when our Geneva team wandered across the Mansory Speranza - A Mercedes-Benz Gelandewagen that has been denuded of its roof and spackled inside with quilted leather and red carbon fiber - they didn't ask a lot of existential questions. Why does the Speranza exist? Because Germans are weird sometimes, that's why.
Forget for a moment that you'll have to pay Mansory hundreds of thousands of euros (we're guessing, no pricing information has been revealed) for the privilege of converting your G-Class into something that looks like a Suzuki Samurai, and prepare to be impressed by the details. The tuning house has increased the output of the Mercedes V8 to a healthy 700 horsepower and 668 pound-feet of torque. The wheels are 24-inches, and wear almost unbelievable 305-section ultra-high performance Vresdestein tires. Carbon fiber can be found nearly everywhere one looks, including making up the housing for the spare tire. Oh, and there are leather pillows for the backseats... no word on whether they're standard or optional, but we're looking in to it.

New Die Hard movie wrecked 132 cars in $11 million chase scene [w/video]
Sat, 16 Feb 2013It would seem the act of dying hard brings with it lots of wanton destruction of the four-wheeled kind. According to John Moore, director of A Good Day To Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again. Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there... That's the fun of it."
Please join us in one great big collective sigh. Done? Okay, let's continue.
"With Die Hard it's about how audacious the action is," says Moore. "So you have to drive over a Lamborghini. An actual one. And yes it hurts me. I'm a car fanatic." Yeah. Sounds like it hurt really bad... though not as bad as the final tally after all the carnage had been counted: "Someone showed me the numbers on the car chase and soup to nuts, you put it all together it was like an $11 million sequence."
