1972 Mercedes-benz Sl350 (price Reduced!) on 2040-cars
Los Angeles, California, United States
This classic dream car will keep going up in value!
115,940 miles - low for such an old car. I bought it in October 2010 from Chequered Flag, LA's premier classic car specialists (I have all receipts). They only sell quality classic cars and this was certainly not an exception. I fell in love with this car the moment I saw it. It was at 107k miles when I bought it and this car has always been well taken care of. It has had regular oil changes and maintenance. I've only driven it locally. The original sound system was a bit weak so I went to Platinum Motorsports on Melrose to get some speakers installed in the back (see pics). Tastefully done and it makes a big difference for those dreamlike drives with the top down :) Exterior color is ivory and interior is chocolate brown. BRAND NEW SOFT TOP! Hard top also included. V8 motor in great shape. Only flaw is the paint is chipped in a few small spots but as you see in the pictures, the exterior still looks amazing. In 1972, they made the front end shorter, which looks much better than the longer front in the years following IMO - this model is more in demand because it's harder to find. KBB & NADAguide value this make/model/year at an average of 20,000$ and the value will keep going up in time. This true classic is built like a tank and so much fun to drive. Simply put, this car is not just a car - this is a piece of ART. |

2021 Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 First Drive | Fat cat money
Thu, Feb 18 2021ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Do you like the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class, but just donÂ’t think itÂ’s fancy or expensive enough as it is? Maybe the AMG version is too audaciously sporty or you'd prefer a completely different flavor of garish. Maybe you donÂ’t want to be seen driving the GLS at all. If youÂ’re looking for the perfect GLS to be driven in, but need to make sure you look more like the type of fat cat to blow money on lavish, boozy dinners and decorative fountains than the pro baller who splurges on a home gym and tennis courts, Mercedes finally has the giant SUV just for you: the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600. Is this tongue-in-cheek straw man in any way indicative of an actual Maybach owner? Who knows. We can barely comprehend how rich someone might be who can afford this $161,525 ultra-luxury SUV (before any options) let alone actually know someone of such largesse. Nevertheless, the GLS upon which it's based is certainly no stranger to us. We first drove the GLS 470 in Austria's Tyrolean Alps, sampled the AMG GLS 63 in the Columbia River Gorge, and nominated its bouncy E-Active Body Control suspension for AutoblogÂ’s 2020 Technology of the Year Award. Most of the same ingredients are present in the Maybach 600, but just one look at this two-tone luxury liner requires you to rethink the scope of what the GLS can do. While the overall body style looks more or less the same, there was no mistaking our tester for an ordinary GLS, or even an extraordinary AMG model. The two-tone paint — Lunar Blue Metallic below, and Iridium Silver Metallic from the beltline up — shouts to passersby (in an aristocratic German accent, presumably) that thereÂ’s something different going on here. The optional wheels, which get their own Maybach design, measure an absolutely massive 23 inches. Perched on the nose is the nearly extinct Mercedes hood ornament. The final giveaway comes when you move in a little closer and see the Maybach badging on the grille, tailgate and D-pillars. But seriously, that paint job is something else. The exterior doesnÂ’t quite do justice to what awaits within. The driverÂ’s door opens to a rich, inviting and clearly technologically advanced cockpit. The dual screen dash housing the instrument panel and infotainment touchscreen is becoming familiar from GLS down to GLA, as are the multitude of controls on the wheel and center console with which one can easily interact with them.
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.
