Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Mercedes-Benz
Drive Type: Manual
Model: G-Class
Mileage: 80,591
Trim: Cabrio Classic
1984 Mercedes Benz G280 Cabrio. This G wagon underwent an extensive restoration prior to importation from Germany, Its among the best if not the best of the classic G cars in North America. I cant think of a better beach cruiser/ around town toy. I had this out for the weekend and it got more attention than any of the other exotics that we have in inventory from time to time.
Very few G cabrios have been imported into the states and the next owner is unlikely to ever see another around town to say the least. This unit is an excellent running driving car, the M110 model twin cam straight six is one of the best motors that Mercedes every built and is renowned for its bullet proof reliability. With 156hp you will not win any drag races but it cruises comfortably at 70MPH on the highway and is an absolute blast around town. We have had several Land Rover Defenders of similar vintage and the superior build quality and drivability with the Mercedes is shocking.
This vehicle has been imported in complete compliance with EPA and DOT regs, all of the import certifications are included with the sale along with the German title. We are happy to fit jump seats and swap out the wheels for later alloys for a nominal fee if desired. A local viewing and inspections is welcome and encouraged with appointment. We are happy to help with shipping and freight logistics.

Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.
New Die Hard movie wrecked 132 cars in $11 million chase scene [w/video]
Sat, 16 Feb 2013It would seem the act of dying hard brings with it lots of wanton destruction of the four-wheeled kind. According to John Moore, director of A Good Day To Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again. Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there... That's the fun of it."
Please join us in one great big collective sigh. Done? Okay, let's continue.
"With Die Hard it's about how audacious the action is," says Moore. "So you have to drive over a Lamborghini. An actual one. And yes it hurts me. I'm a car fanatic." Yeah. Sounds like it hurt really bad... though not as bad as the final tally after all the carnage had been counted: "Someone showed me the numbers on the car chase and soup to nuts, you put it all together it was like an $11 million sequence."
Mercedes to market Tesla-powered 2014 B-Class EV in U.S.
Thu, 05 Jul 2012Looks 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.
