1966 Mercedes 250s Two Tone Exterior On Black. Ac. Automatic. Daily Driver on 2040-cars
Anaheim, California, United States
|
For Sale is my 1966 Mercedes 250S with 109k miles. The issues: Driver side window motor is defective Rear left bulb is out There's a dent in the rear right quarter panel (i can take a picture and send it to you if there's interest) There's a speaker cover missing in the front left (driver side) footwell Starter solenoid gets stuck sometimes when cold, but otherwise starts right up Main Brake Cylinder is starting to have some issues and the front brakes get sticky after longer driving. I normally feel that in heavy traffic when it's hot outside. It may need some attention to the break system. I replaced some of the brake lines and flushed the fluid earlier this year, but i think the problem is that it needs a new main brake piston, about 120$ for the part Clean, Rust free SoCal body Registered under my name with a clean title and insured. It's a daily driver, the car is used very often and looks presentable I know the main components have been rebuilt so it feels pretty safe and reliable to own it Reason for selling.. can't justify keeping it any longer, i have other cars and a new member in my family that needs more attention. Price is Firm. (This is what my wife wants for it.) I don't want to sell it at all, but if someone gives me my asking price, i'll have to let it go. About Comes with a CLEAN California Title and looks like the car has always been locally in california. These have been Rebuilt this year: Both Carburetors, Steering Box, Steering Pump, Rear Differential, Rear axle suspension components. Reconditioned fuel tank and replaced fuel lines. New spark plugs. This is one of the last hand built Mercedes cars. Not a restored car, but one that's been taken good care of. The car was made in 1966 but looks and drives great. I believe i'm the third owner and purchased it from a Benz enthusiast that worked on it to bring it to a driving condition for about 4 years. He had this and a second one which he used for parts. So most of the wearable components have been replaced with better ones. The car is very nice to drive and behaves pretty good compared to modern cars. Drives fine on the freeway and never saw it overheat in city commuting. The two tone exterior, (black with silver roof) makes this Mercedes look exceptionally presentable. Exterior Firstly, there's a dent on the rear right quarter panel that i recently managed to put by dropping the bike in my garage.. the dent is fresh, but there's also a little surface rust under the molding, not related to the dent. When describing the exterior of the car, it is really a matter of standards and expectations.~A‚^A The car appears very presentable. Looks like it was repainted at some point, but paint looks relatively good, with a few imperfections. This is not a concours car, but looks very good vor a daily driver. Black color looks pretty good and shiny and the Silver roof looks like new. All glasses are intact and function as they should. It doesn't show any signs of accidents or damages (except the dent in the quarter panel). All lights and chrome pieces are in decent shape. Interior Back interior with wood and chrome makes it for one of the most desirable color combinations. The interior was overhauled. Installed new front and back seats. New Carpet. Detailed Chrome and Wood (not refurbished). Headliner seems in pretty good condition without any rips or marks This is where you'll definitely feel like driving a nice mercedes. The soft seats, new leather and carpet, give this car the new mercedes smell. You definitely don't feel like driving a vintage car. Comes with Air Conditioning, Power Windows (driver side is defective), Power Locks, Remote Alarm System~A‚^A and the Becker radio that i didn't have time to wire to the car There are also 2 speakers in the back deck. All lights, buttons, power options work, except the driver side window motor and the rear right parking light, the bulb is probably out Clock is dead, but i may include an extra one. The gear lever indicator is not working Engine and Transmission It's a 2.5 Liter, 6 cylinder with Dual Carburetors that were recently rebuilt and adjusted too. I had the compression rechecked and it all showed great results. Not sure what else there is to say about it. It's dry, starts on cold or warm. And it doesn't give me troubles. Transmission is a 4 speed Automatic with column mounted shifter. Shifts great, although it has that "old school" shifting. These transmission didn't come with a torque converter so shifting feels different from a traditional modern transmission. It has a small leak, but it may be due for an oil change and that's when you'd change the gasket too. Fluid level is OK and shifts through all gears. Suspension and Undercarriage Undercarriage is in great shape. I had the car on the lift recently and saw no rust spots anywhere under the car. It doesn't look damaged either. Front suspension hasn't been repaired in a long time but i have no real issues with it at the moment. Steering feels good but front suspension feels loose when going over rough road. Rear suspension has just been replaced. It has new bushings and seals in the differential. Needs Alignment on the Rear mainly. White wall Tires look very fresh with lots of thread and come on the original '66 Rims. Extras There are a few options that this car has. Air Conditioning that has been rebuilt and recharged last year Power Locks that are connected to an aftermarket remote alarm, you can also remotely open the trunk from the key fob Power Windows go up ad down as they should, except driver side. i also have a video with the car if you're interested |

Maybach lost upwards of $500k on each vehicle sold
Wed, 08 Feb 2012Daimler is shuttering Maybach in 2013 after seven years of production. In that time, the company's ultra-ultra-luxury arm managed to sell just 3,000 units, and CAR reports Daimler lost somewhere around $500,000 on each and every one of them.
Even with a ludicrous price tag of over $370,000 for an "entry" Maybach 57, the brand couldn't quite recoup the dizzying $1.33 billion Daimler poured into it since its (re)inception. Rumors ignited over a possible tie up with Aston Martin that would have resulted in a range of new and attractive models, but Daimler has instead decided to snuff out Maybach altogether.
We can hardly blame them.
2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Make 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.
2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec gets 33 mpg, priced from $38,950*
Tue, 30 Apr 2013It's been more than a year since we first saw the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec unveiled at the 2012 New York Auto Show, but it looks like the compact diesel crossover is finally starting to roll into dealerships. Those wanting to buy a diesel GLK will only have to pony up an extra $1,500 over a base, gas-powered GLK350, as the GLK250's starting price is listed at $38,590 (*not including $905 destination charge).
The turbocharged 2.1-liter four-cylinder diesel produces 200 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and Mercedes-Benz has also provided some fuel economy numbers for this model, with claimed EPA estimates of 24 miles per gallon city and 33 mpg highway. There is no listing for the GLK250 on the EPA's website yet, but the figures represent significant increase over the GLK350's lackluster 19 mpg city and 25 mpg highway figures, which are for the rear-wheel drive model. The GLK250 comes standard with the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system - a $2,000 option on GLK350 - meaning that if you want an all-wheel-drive version of the 2013 GLK, it's actually cheaper to opt for the diesel model. Head over to the Mercedes-Benz site for the full 2013 GLK-Class configurator.
