Here you go folks, a 1985 Mercedes 500 SEC for your consideration. This Mercedes is perfect for the Mercedes lover who's been looking for a 500 SEC to tinker around with while still driving it. The paint appears to have been done by a non-professional, and a few door dings, etc., that were repaired could of had a little more time spent on them. Black paint is one of the hardest jobs to sell, but look killer on anything! The front bumper must have barley tapped something and provided a few cracks as pictured. Overall, a great 50 footer, but nothing a little elbow grease and paint won't fix! :)
The interior seats are real nice, and someone had the entire interior leather dyed to freshen it up, which looks great. A little bit of overspray on some interior pieces needs to be cleaned up. Dash pad is perfect with no cracks. Carpet is good, but with a little bit of shampooing, will look even better! All windows work, except the passenger rear window (may just be the switch). Right side mirror has to be adjusted manually.The front windshield has a small 2" crack in the upper passenger corner, but passed inspection. All lights work, horn works, stereo works (6 CD changer in trunk, antenna doesn't go up or down). AC seems to blow cool, but may need to be recharged. Power seats also work, as well as the sun roof.
This V8 Mercedes runs and shifts like a beast! Transmission shifts as it should, and the engine "getty ups" when giving her some gas. The engine could use a tune up however, as it idles a little rough. Car has been sitting for awhile, as the owner has three of these. The engine cooling fan runs all the time while the engine is running, but the car does not run hot. So assume the thermostat switch may need to be changed out.
The owner just had the vehicle VA State Inspected in July 2013. She also had 4 brand new Continental 205/65/15 tires put on. The following repairs were also made in July; engine steam cleaned, replaced license plate light bulb, and fixed right side marker light, replaced brake strut bushings, replaced rear sway bar stands. A lot of money just put in it to get it inspected.
So, if your looking for a car that was approx $80K back in the day, here's a nice project to pick up and with a few weekends of TLC, will be a great car to own! Good luck.

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-Benz releases US-spec 2014 Sprinter details
Mon, 06 May 2013Last week, Mercedes-Benz released the details for the updated 2013 Sprinter intended for global markets, but this week it has announced what changes are being made to the US-spec version of the van for the 2014 model year, including the Freightliner model. As expected, most of the changes made to the European model will be present on the 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter when it goes on sale in the US, which is expected to be this fall.
The biggest difference between the Sprinter announced last week and the one headed to our shores is what is found under the hood. While European Sprinters will come with diesel engines and offer the availability of a supercharged four-cylinder gasoline or CNG engine, US Sprinters will still offer the 3.0-liter V6 BlueTEC diesel. This year's Sprinter now comes standard with a new base engine, the 2.1-liter four-cylinder BlueTEC diesel. This smaller engine will produce 161 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque, and will be paired to a seven-speed automatic transmission; the optional 3.0 V6 puts out 188 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, and will be mated to a six-speed auto.
Fuel economy for the new Sprinter has not been announced, but Mercedes-Benz has made numerous changes with the goal of improving efficiency. To this end you'll find a new, low-friction rear axle and the optimization for the generator, fuel pump and power steering pump.
Next Mercedes-Benz GLK to get AMG variant? Not likely...
Fri, 15 Mar 2013If you think Mercedes-Benz will slap an AMG badge on anything with wheels, think again. Word has it the German manufacturer will not offer buyers a performance version of the GLK, with Tobias Moers, director of AMG vehicle development, saying that he doesn't see a market for the car. That's not to say the picture won't change in the near future, however. According to CarAdvice.com, AMG is keeping a close eye on the arrival of the Porsche Macan.
"Maybe there will be a change in the market when the Porsche [Macan] comes up," Moers said, "but right now, no."
The real hitch in the giddy-up seems to be cost. Moers says developing the machine into something worthy of an AMG would represent "a huge investment." We can't exactly argue with that. Fortunately, AMG buyers have plenty of Mercedes-Benz models to choose from.
