This beautiful 36-year old Mercedes 450SL Convertible Roadster scores 7 to 7.5 out of 10!  Second owner car.  The original owner, not to be disclosed, maintained this car meticulously from its original point of sale, September 23, 1977, at Colonial Imports in Glendale, CA.  Maintenance records from Beverly Hills, LTD, Beverly Hills, CA and then from L & M Motors, Los Angeles, CA are in maintenance book. 


This car has been garaged, and not driven, for the past 8 years.  The car is in overall very nice shape, but needs to be buffed out as it has minor oxidation.  There is evidence of minor paint repair on the right front fender and a very small dent in the rear bumper.  The car is not perfect, but very nice and all original.  There is a small crack in drivers seat (see photo), but otherwise the interior is immaculate.  There is a very small leak on the differential cover, but no other leaks have been noted or seen.  Car will start for a short period of time, but fuel pump is weak.  Everything works well and car was driven frequently prior to being garaged.  It has a new battery and oil change, but would recommend cleaning the fuel system and a new fuel pump.  The tires have approximately 80% tread, but show dry rot and cracking so should be replaced for safety.  

This car has spent its entire life in dry southern California until January 2013 when it was delivered to our garage in southern Oregon.  

We were told that the top has never been removed and does not appear to have been, so we imagine that the convertible top is in like new condition, but have not verified.  As you can see, the original car cover has two holes, one on the drivers mirror and one on top.  

For sale locally for $9,500/OBO.  

NADA shows low retail of $10,500; average retail $19,400 and high retail $27,600.  

As you can see, this car is in extremely nice condition, between average and high retail, and is priced to sell.

PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO FULFILL YOUR OBLIGATIONS.
RE-LISTED BECAUSE LAST WINNING BIDDER DID NOT PAY.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

Make way for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, the most wonderfully preposterous car I have ever driven.
There is absolutely no reason why any two-seat roadster should be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 developing 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, but I sure am glad that Mercedes-Benz doesn't see things that way.
Drop into the leather-lined cockpit of this $213,145 provocateur, floor the accelerator pedal as I did over and over again, and 60 miles per hour falls in a traction-limited 3.9 seconds. Top speed has been electronically held to 186 mph (this apparently saves Gulfstream jet owners from embarrassment). Forget the SL550 and SL63 AMG, the valets will trip over themselves attending to the tycoon driving this thoroughbred - it's the real deal.

Mercedes to market Tesla-powered 2014 B-Class EV in U.S.

Thu, 05 Jul 2012

Looks like another Tesla Motors investor will be looking to cash in on their connection. Autoweek reports Mercedes-Benz will offer their B-Class in the U.S. with Tesla propulsion.
The magazine says their source at the German automaker confirms plans for a B-Class electric-only vehicle. While Tesla already provides battery packs for the battery-powered Smart ForTwo, the B-Class EV will reportedly have Tesla batteries, motor and other components. U.S. residents should be able to procure one sometime in 2014.
The same Mercedes source says plans for a hybrid B-Class have been postponed for now. Adding a range-extending, gasoline-powered engine to an electric vehicle would put the car into a different class for which rebates and incentives aren't as favorable in the States.

Boston bombers were tracked using Mercedes mbrace [w/video]

Sun, 28 Apr 2013

We now know Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the two brothers said to be behind the Boston Marathon bombings, planned to head for New York City to detonate more improvised explosive devices. As it turns out, that plan was foiled by the quick thinking of one Mercedes-Benz owner, diligent police work and the Mercedes-Benz mbrace system. When the brothers carjacked a 26-year-old Chinese entrepreneur identified only as "Danny," they didn't realize his Mercedes-Benz M-Class was equipped with the mbrace system, which can call for help in the event of an accident or track the vehicle in the event of a theft.
According to reports, the Tsarnaev brothers held Danny hostage for nearly 90 minutes while they drove around Boston forming a plan until they had to stop for fuel. When one of the brothers went inside to pay, the other put his gun down for a moment. Danny took the opportunity to unlatch his seat belt, open the door and run to another nearby gas station, where he told the owner to call the police.
When police arrived, they used the mbrace system to track the SUV after receiving Danny's permission, and it wasn't long before a shootout between police and the brothers ensued. When it was over, the eldest brother lay dead in the street. For more on the story, view the video report available below.
