Beautiful and unique color combination of cream and beige,engine starts and runs but runs rough and is in need of a serious tune up. Will need to tow.Selling because i cannot find a mechanic to tune this car up,no matter how hard i try.I have wasted hundreds of dollars towing the car to shops where the car just sits and wait to be tuned up but they never get to it.The best i did was i found a German repair shop where they repair these cars.In fact i saw a few of these cars at the shop.However they cannot give me a date to bring the car in.I waited for two weeks and they still cannot give me a date.Its frustrating.If anyone knows of a shop that can tune this car up right away,i will be forever grateful for the info. I will pay for the tune up and keep the car.The rear glass is cracked and there is some visible rust and hairline cracks on the right side panel and left front quarter panel.See pictures.Except for cracks in the dash the leather seats and the door panels and the rest of the inside is in great condition .No rips or tears in the seats.The headliner is also in good condition.With minor work this car can exceed your expectations and that of the onlookers.Brand NEW REAR TIRES with zero miles REFERENCE TO ISSUE FOUND--ANY TITLE OR ODOMETER PROBLEMS ARE PROBABLE BEFORE MY OWNERSHIP DEPOSIT OF $500.00(five hundred dollars) WITHIN 24 HRS. OF AUCTION CLOSE BY PAYPAL AND BALANCE IN FIVE DAYS.THE BALANCE COULD BE PAYPAL OR CASHIERS CHECK IF CASHIERS CHECK IS CHOSEN,THEN IT MUST CLEAR MY BANK BEFORE VEHICLE IS PICKED UP A new blower motor,two new sets of fuses and new spark plugs come with the car.Winner is responsible for shipping andshipping costsThanks for looking good luck and happy bidding

Daimler opens the door on Car2go Black with B-Class carsharing
Sun, Feb 9 2014Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler has finally decided to go to its proverbial mothership to further expand its Car2go carsharing service in Europe. The German automaker has long used its itty-bitty Smart Fortwo vehicles for the program, but now it's kicking off a pilot program called Car2go Black that will share Mercedes-Benz B-Class models in Berlin and Hamburg. Daimler will deploy 100 B-Class diesels in each German city. The company says the cars will be parked at so-called "black" parking spots and won't have to be returned to the same spot when the user is done. Daimler, who says the reservation platform is geared for smartphone use, is planning to expand the program to other European cities with existing Car2go service starting this spring. That's important, since once the system is up an running, you will be able to drive a Car2go Black vehicle from one town in the network to another and not need to bring it back. Car2go first started operations in Ulm, Germany, and made its North American debut in Austin, TX, in 2009. The service now has more than 600,000 members worldwide with access to about 10,000 Fortwos in 25 cities throughout Europe and North America. Car2go chief marketing officer J. Paul DeLong said last month that Car2go is the world's largest global carsharing company. You can check out Daimler's Car2go Black press release below. car2go black: Carsharing with the three-pointed star STUTTGART, Germany, Feb. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Daimler Mobility Services offers carsharing with Mercedes-Benz vehicles for the first time Pilot Phase with 200 B-Class vehicles starts in mid- February in Hamburg and Berlin One-way trips and open-ended trips available, within and even between different cities Smartphone-based rental procedure makes usage both easy and flexible Daimler Mobility Services will soon be offering carsharing with the three-pointed star. Under the "car2go black" brand, Daimler Mobility Services GmbH will pilot a fully automated carsharing system with Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The pilot phase will begin in mid-February in Hamburg and Berlin. In the initial pilot phase, select car2go members in those locations can use a network of 200 black B-Class models on short notice. The vehicles can be rented at dedicated reserved parking stations, and do not have to be returned to the same dedicated parking station that the vehicle rental originated from.
Clark Gable's 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing doesn't sell, then does sell for $1.85 million [UPDATE: w/video]
Sat, 19 Jan 2013How much extra value does previous celebrity ownership add to of a car? Really, there's no way to know until the car in question hits the auction block and bidders start raising their hands. In the case of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing you see above, the celebrity owner is none other than Clark Gable, who purchased it new. After Gable's death in 1960, the car changed hands a few times before settling with Charles Wood in 1975.
A high-dollar restoration was performed in 1989, and period accessories added by Gable himself were kept in place, including the Rudge knock-off wheels and Nardi steering wheel. Any Mercedes-Benz 300SL is worth a big chunk of money. In the case of Clark Gable's old Gullwing, the bidding stalled at $1.9 million here at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale. As one of the 5000-series cars, this 300SL carried a reserve, and a bit of after-the-fact dealmaking saw the car change hands for $1.85 million.
