1985 Mercedes Benz 500 Sel S-class Grey Market Euro Amg Rims Pirelli Tires! on 2040-cars
Mount Vernon, Ohio, United States
|
Up for auction is a 1985 Mercedes Benz grey market euro 500sel. This was a Texas car and imported through Texas, it has the stickers on the door jamb. As seen the paint is burnt from the Texas sun and will need repainted, there is no rust on the car, it is a very solid car. I bought this car as a project car but have been laid off and need to sell it, my loss is your gain! I have only owned this car since the end of December, I have known the guy that owned it before me for a long time. The seats do show wear as seen, it is missing its A-pillar trim. It has a fairly new exhaust system on it. All the windows work as does the sunroof, the sunroof is slow to close. I was replacing the window rollers on the pass side rear door, thats why the door panel is off. I have the door panel and it is in good condition. The drivers side rear seat wont move but you can hear the motor run, the pass side rear seat works fine. The rear parcel shelf is out, it was in pretty bad shape, it comes with the original shelf and an extra one. It also comes with a VERY nice set (new?) AMG replica rims in 17" with very nice P zero Nero tires, tons of tread left. All lights work and all the switches seem to work on the inside, everything on the dash is in German. All the gauges work as do all the dash lights. Things it will need: All of the wood in the car shows wear, some of the dash wood is loose. It has a dash cover that is on the dash now but just sitting on it and not glued down. Starter solenoid sticks, you have to hit the key a few times for it to catch. I lost/misplaced the rear window switch when I had the door panel off. It has a high idle, it idles at 1300 rpm in park, I never had the time to find the problem. It will need brakes. The hood opening lever under the dash is missing. The AC works but the compressor is noisy. The hood insulation is off as seen but I have a brand new one that goes with the car. The odo is WRONG, its showing 112k miles, thats when it stopped working as the little gear is stripped, its a very easy fix. The previous owner kept records on his mileage and it actually has 135350 miles on it. We put 135350 on the title as I was goig to fix the ODO that way there would be no mileage discrepancy. the ODO WILL NEED FIXED! The trunk is full of extra parts!! It drives down the road nice and straight, it has a ton of power and rides on air! It would be a pretty easy project for someone and would be a very nice Euro when done. All it really needs is a paint job and the AMG rims put on it and it will be a real head turner! This is all I know about the car since I have only had it a few months, it has sat in my garage waiting on me. I have a clear Ohio title in hand and it is ready for its new home, I wish I could keep it as the Grey Markets are hard to find. There is NO warranty expressd or implied. sold AS-IS, Where is, it is a 29 year old car. Cash or Money Order only, if shipping is required the buyer also pays for that and arranges it. NO RESERVE!!! First bid takes it home!!!!

2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Now Even Sharper Than The Razor's Edge
There have been five Black Series models since the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Black Series introduced itself to European audiences in 2006. Following that, the Black Series club has hosted appearances by the 2008 CLK63 AMG Black Series, the 2009 SL65 AMG Black Series and last year's 2013 C63 AMG Black Series. The sixth member of the group is one we would have thought already was a Black Series car in its standard guise. Right out of the box, the SLS AMG is loud, frenetic, cozy, boisterous and frightfully easy to oversteer. How much more Black did it need to get?
Quite a bit so, apparently. The SLS AMG Black Series has lost weight, gained power and been refitted with upgrades and aero bits from front to rear. If you liked the way it looked before, you'll probably be an even bigger fan of this one. If you thought it looked ungainly, well, this one should stay even further away from pageants. Regardless of where you come down this is the best SLS AMG variant we've driven.
Test drive the Mercedes SLS AMG Electric Drive with Chris Harris
Thu, 11 Apr 2013It's hard to not like the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT. The all-aluminum coupe is fitted with a wonderful naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. Not only does the burly combustion engine launch the two-seater to 60 miles per hour in less than four seconds, but it does so with one of the world's greatest exhaust soundtracks as it roars, burbles and cackles down the road.
But what happens when Mercedes-Benz takes away the V8 and its accompanying fire-burning song? Stripped of one of its most appealing assets, does the SLS lose its soul?
Chris Harris recently had the opportunity to take the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive for a track spin in Europe. Sans gasoline, but with four electric motors providing a combined 740 horsepower (737 pound-feet of torque), all-electric all-wheel drive coupe uses sophisticated torque vectoring and a multi-mode operating system to put oversteer - drifting! - back into the equation. Fun? You bet. See for yourself, below.
Mercedes mulling Renault-based entry-level X-Class?
Sun, 17 Mar 2013Somewhere in between the Smart brand and the all-new A-Class (pictured above), Daimler is said to be readying a smaller entry-level product for the Mercedes-Benz brand to compete with models like the Audi A1. According to AutoBild, Mercedes-Benz will get a new hatchback based on a platform from its recent partnership with Renault-Nissan, and it could be called the X-Class.
Expected to debut by 2018, the Mercedes-Benz X-Class could be offered in sedan, hatchback and crossover variants, and it would likely have a starting price below the $20,000-euro mark. Power would come from either a 1.0-liter inline three-cylinder engine or a 1.5-liter inline-four, and the car would likely be built in a low-cost nation in order to make the financials work. Wearing the Mercedes-Benz name, the X-Class would have to exhibit more distinguishable luxury and styling to set itself apart from the models that helped provide its underpinnings.
