1985 Mercedes G Wagon G500 G280 on 2040-cars
|
I am basically giving this G Wagen away at this price. Needs to go now! Buy it now price is only a few hundred more than reserve to weed out non paying bidders. If you have zero feedback or no paypal acct please contact me before bidding. Secondly this is a 1985 G class wagon W460 but i had to list as a 1980 because Ebay cant configure the vin number. Selling a very nice Mercedes G280 Rare Air conditioning! Unleaded gas vehicle. Made for U.S. driving, nothing special needed to drive. Dirt cheap registration and insurance. Factory running boards. New Keyless entry. New high end stereo with ipod hookup. This G Wagon was one of the very rare imported by Europa and was made for U.S. driving. Normal speedometer etc. Manual five speed Transmition makes it very fun to drive. 4x4 was just thoroughly gone through last year and functions great! Drives at highway speeds with no problems. Over $5,000 spent last year on everything from new gas tank, rear springs,sending unit, fuel filter,air filter,shocks, to high end Kenwood stereo system that is Bluetooth and Ipod capable and keyless entry alarm system. New tires. Factory 18" Mercedes wheels. Retains Titanium silver factory paint and unlike most out there has very little rust, a small amount next to the gas cap and some bubbles around the windshield. Frame and undercarraige are undercoated to prevent rust. Zero structural rust. Very clean underneath. factory cloth and leather interior is very clean. Dash area is like new, headliner is great. Some wear to drivers seat, others are excellent. All glass is perfect no cracks or rock chips, with dark tint. This G Wagen is fuel efficient as well and is very reliable with no major computers or electric systems that can break. It also never needs emission testing and the registration is dirt cheap. it is the ultimate off road vehicle. Long wheel base. My original plans were to paint it all Mercedes pearl white and recover the seats with black leather. I just don't have the heart to do it because the factory paint (with the exception of some minor bubbles as pictured) is just too nice and someone will surely love the retro look of the interior. The neat thing about these is that they look almost the same as the new models that cost around $165,000. Ive seen this model cloned to look just like the brand new G500, the body is almost identical. When driving this it gets all the looks because it is such an unusual and large truck, it towers over most SUV trucks and is built like a tank. With that being said it would look amazing modernized with new bigger wheels and off road style tires. It already has modern luxuries in the new Kenwood ipod system and keyless entry. It also comes with genuine black sheepskin covers not installed. Rear brakes are a bit soft and will need work. These are easy rigs to work on and the parts cost a fraction of the new ones. Imagine owning a G-class for less than a Honda with easy maintenence! I am selling it way below market value so someone will get a good deal on a timeless style truck that will last forever and actually appreciate as you drive. I welcome any and all inspections prior to auction end. Ask all questions and inspect before bidding. I can help with transport anywhere. Thank you.

2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 Sport
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.
Mercedes-AMG planning more hardcore A45 hot hatch
Mon, Nov 24 2014The launch of the A45 AMG marked Mercedes-Benz's first real assault on the premium hot hatch segment. And with 355 horsepower from a 2.0-liter turbo four, it is indeed hot. But the latest word has it that Mercedes-AMG is planning an even hotter version. Speaking with Auto Express at the LA Auto Show last week, AMG boss Tobias Moers indicated that his department was toying with the idea of a more hardcore version of the A45. In what Moers referred to as a "street fighter," the A45's engine would be tuned to produce even more power, the cabin stripped out and the rolling stock, brakes and aero upgraded for more serious performance. Think of it, then, as something of a Black Series approach, only it's not expected to carry that name, which has historically been reserved specifically for two-door models. Given AMG's current list of priorities and limited manpower, though, Moers suggests it will be several years – likely towards the end of the model's life cycle – before it may prepare such a model, following a similar formula to the Mini JCW GP and Renaultsport Megane R26.R. Here's hoping an American version based on the CLA could also be in the cards.
Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Mon, Aug 6 2018Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
