What a candidate for a very mild restoration, is this 1977 Mercedes Benz 280SE! To be very candid and to get right to it, I bought this car for my wife, so we could attend the classic car shows together, (me in my Mopars,her in this car) I thought she would love it. She didn't. She is a modern car kind of gal. Old cars don't turn her on. So, it's got to go. As the pictures show, this car looks great already. For a 36 year old car it is incredible. It is mechanically sound, basically. The transmission is beginning to slip a little when upshifting if prodded hard when really warm. Normal driving it seems okay. Probably just needs a band adjustment. Gas engine fires immediately. Idles fast. I haven't been able to slow it down. I bought brake pads for it when I first got it but it didn't really need them so I didn't install them. They are included in the auction. It brakes well. It steers well. I talked with the original owner a few times about it and got a history. With her input I can determine that this car has approx 150,000 miles on it. The speedometer works but the odometer does not. The left fender shows signs of a repair a long time ago, as shown in one of the pics. The only rust on the car is shown in the pics too. One small spot at the corner of the sun roof opening and one small spot at the bottom of the rear glass trim. The trunk floor and wheel well openings are all perfect. The leather Upholstery is pristine except for two small tears in the rear seat, which have duct tape on them. The following switches are in need of replacement; A/C Compressor switch (I am certain the a/c would work with this switch), turn signal switch, right side window master switch. It has no radio. I put new tires on it just a few hundred miles ago. I drive this car myself as a daily driver. I had the radiator professionally repaired when I bought the car year before last. There is a brand new (Mercedes) hood pad included in the auction that I couldn't get the glue to stick to the underside of the hood. This car doesen't leak anything, water, antifreeze, oil,or transmission fluid. Would I drive it 500 miles to a new home? I don't think I would have THAT much faith in it although I really don't know of any reason it wouldn't. It doesn't run hot or anything. Please keepin mind that this is an old car and they break down, no matter how good of care you take of them. This car and any car its age has some issues. I have tried to explain these issues beforehand. Why does it look so good? This car has been in a garage its entire life. It is a bit pampered. Please ask questions before bidding. If you intend to ship it, you will be responsible for all arrangements and cost.

Mercedes goes boating again with G63 AMG-inspired Cigarette
Wed, 06 Feb 2013Cigarette Racing has another Mercedes-Benz AMG-themed boat headed out to sea. After The SLS AMG-inspired 46-foot Rough Rider in 2010 and the C63 AMG Black Series-inspired 50-foot Marauder in 2012, this year's Miami Boat Show will introduce the 42-foot Huntress, theme provided by the G63 AMG.
The latest Cigarette homage is less overly racy than the ones before, befitting a watercraft modeled off a performance SUV, but don't let the looks fool: there are five Mercury Racing Verado 350SCi outboard engines, each one of them packing a supercharged inline six-cylinder with, natch, 350 horsepower. Those 1,750 horses will be good for 78 miles per hour when you've got some saltwater underneath you.
If you're in South Florida this week, Booth B-23 at the Miami Convention Center could be your best place to see it. Otherwise, like the 536-hp G63 AMG, it could be hard to catch. There's a press release with more information below.
X1, 3 Series power BMW back into global luxury autos sales lead
Thu, 14 Mar 2013BMW managed to eke ahead of Audi for the global luxury sales crown in February. According to Bloomberg, BMW saw deliveries swell by 7 percent in February, besting the 3.2 percent jump enjoyed by Audi and giving BMW a 407-unit delivery lead over its rival last month. Mercedes-Benz, meanwhile, continued to falter, with the brand selling some 37,229 fewer machines than BMW, whose factories are running at full capacity to keep up with demand. Models like the X1 (shown above) enjoyed a sales increase of 40 percent in February while the company's bread-and-butter 3 Series jumped by 26 percent.
Mercedes-Benz hopes to stem its continued market share loss with the addition of the entry-level CLA sedan to its portfolio in April. The company is set to roll out an updated version of its cash-cow E-Class at the same time, and a new-generation S-Class will follow along shortly thereafter. Meanwhile, the company is increasing production to meet demand for its A and B-Class models.
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.
