This car has been owned and by the original purchaser since it was bought new in Germany in 1985 until my husband's company (Farm & Ranch Co., State license #P15973) acquired it this winter. It has been driven all over Europe, after which it was shipped to the states. The mileage shows 233k, but it probably close to 250k as the odometer stopped recently. According to the original owner the engine was replaced less than 50k miles ago. It does not blow smoke. It has no rust. It runs and drives great. It is all original, including the mag wheels. The moon roof opens (manually) and does not leak. The power windows on the passenger side work, but the power windows do not work on the driver's side. The air conditioning and heater work. The stereo works really nice. The cruise control is not coming on for some reason. The power mirrors work well. The driver's seat has a tear. There are several interior issues that I hope are revealed in the pictures. The tires are good. The brakes are fantastic. It is safety inspected for the state of Texas. All the glass and mirrors and chrome are in good shape. If you are the high bidder and live out of state you may take the title with you. If you live in Texas you will need to go with my husband to the title office and put it into your name. As always, if you are thew winning bidder and feel that it was misprepresented in any way, we will cheerfully refund your deposit and cancel the sale without question. Thanks!

As you can see from the listring we just made, the car is now owned by my husband's company, Farm & Ranch Company, not the original owner of 28 years (as of last week). So please do not bid if that is not understood. The title is now in the name of Farm & Ranch Co., and the state license is a Texas General Distinguishing Number (licensed dealer).

BMW expects China to pass US as its top market in 2013
Thu, 11 Jul 2013When you combine two billion citizens, 100 cities with more than a million inhabitants and an economy that's as unrestrained as Jim Cramer on an Adderall binge, China's explosive auto industry growth shouldn't be a huge surprise. Audi already lists the communist country as its largest market, while Mercedes-Benz is expecting it to be there in the next few years. Now, according to a report from Automotive News, BMW is expecting the People's Republic to overtake the United States in sales by the end of 2013.
We already discovered the extent that BMW is going to in establishing a dedicated Chinese stronghold, when we explored BMW's Shanghai-based DesignWorks studio ahead of April's Shanghai Motor Show. And while we argued that DesignWorks Shanghai hasn't really borne fruit, it isn't due to a lack of sales.
BMW China has seen a 16-percent jump in year-over-year sales, lead by a 28-percent gain in 5 Series sales. Part of BMW's growth strategy comes from an ever-expanding dealership network. Remember those 100 cities we mentioned with over one million people? According to Karsten Engel, CEO of BMW's Chinese operations, those 100-million-plus city dwellers don't have access to a premium dealership.
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.
UK workers strand car on island of asphalt to keep working
Wed, 06 Feb 2013Generally speaking, when you illegally park your car, you're likely to get ticketed and towed, but there is probably at least one motorist in Scotland who wishes that was the case. After workers had blocked off a portion of the parking lot for the Edinburgh Waverley railway station, the driver of this Mercedes-Benz S-Class reportedly moved some of the barriers to park in one of the empty spots.
Rather than having the vehicle towed, the work crew simply tore up the asphalt around the leaving just the one parking spot intact, and as you can see in the image above (posted to the Twitter account of Harold Norstad), the crew even built a small asphalt ramp so the car could get off its blacktop pedestal. Since this happened last week, there's no word as to whether the car was eventually moved or towed for the resurfacing work to continue.
Let this be a warning...
