I'm a private car collector, so you know I'm legit, this isn't a scam ebay listing etc, feel free to look me up online. Go to the Website IMDB and then put in Dean England. That's who you will talk to and be buying this car from in person. Or, who your shipping company person will be meeting to get the car. As I was asked this often on another classic I sold in the last two weeks on ebay, "What's your price?" Feel free to email me your best price to end the auction now. I can then put a Buy It Now on the auction for you to click on and buy the car. This is what happened with another of my cars I sold about two weeks ago. Then, people emailed when I canceled the auction asking what happen and that they didn't get to bid and were irritated. Otherwise, I'll just let the auction go to the end, see where it goes and if not enough, put her back in climate controlled storage for awhile. 1997 Mercedes SL320 with that bullet proof Mercedes engine and last year of this model which is always great from a collector stand point. This SL 320 is in amazing condition. Purchased new in Beverly HIlls, California. Then, after a few gentle years of use, she was in such great condition she was re certified by Mercedes as up to Mercedes standards and resold by Mercedes Dealership in 2003 when she had 44,034 miles. Last year I spent about five thousand dollars having new hoses, new radiator, new fluids and whatever else recommended for a 100k service done, though the car only had 80k total miles. About 81,500 miles now. The bulk of lifetime services and repairs performed exclusively at Mercedes of Palm Springs, Mercedes of Beverly Hills and Mercedes of Anaheim. I want to be able to get into any of my cars and drive anywhere in or out of state with no issues so I am obsessive with maintenance and pre-maintenance and that it is done right regardless of cost. I've only driven a few hundred miles since this last big service was done last year. This would be from Hollywood to La Jolla (beach area of San Diego) to Palm Springs (desert area), then up to the California mountains at 6000 feet and back to LA over a few days. A well established independent shop with ASE Mercedes trained technicians did the last service. Hi Gloss exterior is stunning. Interior is immaculate. No rips, tears or cracks. Hard top and soft top are in near new condition. Rear soft top windows are clear and bright. Tires in great condition and on Mercedes AMG chrome rims. Soft top and hard top. All the parts for power top have been replaced and it works great. IMMACULATE inside and out. Even the Mercedes floor mats are spotless. And, even the front hood badge is not faded. Original books, window sticker, dealer records since new. The window sticker shows about $80,000 Just a fantastic Mercedes. I have several collector cars and am selling a few to while thinking about purchasing an exotic model I have my eye on.

Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets
Tue, Jul 17 2018Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.
2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon is one hot hauler [w/video]
Thu, 28 Mar 2013Mentioned at the debut of the redesigned Mercedes-Benz E-Class back in January, Mercedes has finally pulled back the curtain on the E63 AMG S, which was on display at the New York Auto Show in wagon guise. The 2014 E63 AMG S ups the ante even more from a "base" E63 AMG, improving the car's performance and styling - not that it needed help with either to begin with.
Our favorite S-model upgrade is the added output tweaked out of the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 577 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, which represents a substantial gain of 27 hp and 59 lb-ft of torque over the stock E63. In wagon form, the E63 AMG S can run from 0-60 miles per hour in just 3.6 seconds and hit an electronically limited top speed of 186 mph. All 2014 E63 AMGs come with Mercedes' 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, but the S-Model adds in a limited-slip rear differential for improved performance.
Mercedes has made sure that the extra money being spent on the S-Model is instantly noticeable with slightly different design cues and black along with 10-spoke wheels with red brake calipers peeking through. Plenty of silver-chrome and high-gloss black accents finish off the exterior styling, while the interior adds Alcantara on the steering wheel, accent stitching on the leather and contrasting silver seat belts on models with the black interior. Scroll down for an official video and press release.
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.
