Here is a opportunity for a Mercedes-Benz lover to purchase a very nice specimen of the Porsche built 500E. This car has been proudly owned by only two people and has has the best of service and has been for the last 10 years always stored in a climate controlled garage. The car has spent its life in Southern California and Texas. I'm fairly sure that the first owner also kept it well. After 10 years of ownership I have decided to auction her at the upcoming Mecum Houston. The car will be auctioned on Friday morning April 5th Lot F20. Please check the Mecum site for information. The car has a very low reserve and will sell. Mecum has my signed title in hand and I am listing it here in hopes that a fellow enthusiast looking for a nice 500E might check out this car as there are not very many 500E's left in this condition.
I purchased this 1992 Mercedes 500E car from William Shatner of Los Angeles in 2003. Mr. Shatner purchased the car new in 1992 and he personally owned it until the time I bought it. At the time of my purchase it had 66,000 miles and was in very good condition. Mr Shatner was kind enough to sign the underside of the front arm rest and took a final picture of himself with the car in front of his L.A. home. Me being both a Porsche nut and a car nut had always wanted to own one of these incredible machines and bought the best example I could find at the time. My intent was to keep the car for as long as I was able to drive and spared no expense to maintain and repair anything that needed repair. I have always insisted that only oem Mercedes parts be used for repairs, for example even the battery in the trunk is the correct oem Mercedes one. Recent repairs of late, performed by Park Place Mercedes of Dallas, include a transmission rebuild and new ARS/ABS pump. The brake rotors, pads, and Michelin tires are near new. The wheels are oem Mercedes Evo II 17" that were used on the 500E limited models. The car functions very well and is a beast, uses no oil, has no leaks, all electric items work, the wood has no cracks, the leather interior with the exception of light wear on the driver's seat looks new.
I have a two inch binder for examination of all the repairs on the car including what I believe are all or most all of the records from Mr. Shatner. Three years ago I had the car repainted and had all of the trim and rubber bits replaced. I repainted the car as it has some dings and scratches and there was talk of the EPA banning solvent car paints such as the original Glasurit product that was used. The paint used is exactly the same paint originally used. This work was performed by Stewart's Body Shop of Dallas and to this day the car looks like it did when it rolled out the factory in 1992. I added Hella euro headlamps that are film protected. These model correct headlamps use a leaded glass lens and the lighting power at night is just amazing.
I could go on and on but I think you get the idea of the caliber of this car. I'm hoping that she will end up in good hands and I know she will is going to make someone a very happy person for years to come!

2014 Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid for fat cats frugal with fuel
Thu, 12 Sep 2013Judging by how long we waited to get a clear shot of the Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid, you'd have thought hybrid cars were only driven by Terminators and that the technology arrived only 48 hours ago through a wormhole in the Mercedes stand. The newest member of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class hybrid band - joining the S400 Hybrid and S350 BlueTEC Hybrid, it hits notes like a 5.5-second sprint from standstill to 62 miles per hour, up to 19 miles of ion-powered running and uses three liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers in Europe (78.41 mpg US, but our mpg test cycle is different than their mpg test cycle).
The lump up front is a turbocharged, 3.0-liter V6, the lump in back - note the reduction in trunk space - is a pack of lithium-ion batteries that juice an 80-kilowatt electric motor. Other than having four drive options for controlling electric drive and battery usage, it's all S-Class all the time, with leather-covered everything and those mountainous thrones that bring to mind words like "Archduke" and "Papal."
You'll find our hard-earned gallery from the Frankfurt Motor Show floor above, and more words of information in the press release below.
2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA priced from $31,300*
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Mercedes-Benz has kindly let loose the price of the 2015 GLA-Class, telling Autoblog.com that the base 208-horsepower GLA250 in two-wheel drive will go for $31,300 *not including a destination charge of $925. That makes for $32,225 in total to get one off the lot, a price predicted as early as last year and in our recent First Drive. The other two available models can push power to all four wheels, and after the destination fee is applied the GLA240 4Matic (pictured) will be $34,225 while the 355-horsepower GLA45 AMG will change lives and wallets to the tune of $49,225.
On the base scale, that puts the GLA250 just a few hundred dollar bills above the more powerful, rear-wheel drive BMW X1 and a stack of hundreds below the less powerful, front-wheel drive Audi Q3. If you're keeping in-house score, the GLA250 comes in at $1,400 above its sedan platform-mate with the same engine, the CLA250. At the high end, however, the competition doesn't have anything that can touch the AMG trim. Not that it should matter all that much - Mercedes needed something to keep these buyers in the family, and now they have it. If any of them should need even more power and more money spent, then there's always that 394-hp Brabus flavor. We'll have more info and details on each trim when Mercedes unleashes the shebang in the not-too-distant future.
Mercedes making aggressive plans for Chinese market
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Mercedes-Benz is preparing a major product offensive to counteract lagging sales in the Chinese market, aiming 20 new or updated models at the People's Republic in the next two years, according to a report by Reuters. The plan is part of MB's so-called 2020 Initiative, which will see the Stuttgart-based manufacturer dump 2 billion Euros ($2.67 billion) into its Chinese market vehicles in a bid to boost sales to 300,000 units by 2015.
Were it to succeed, China would become the largest market for the Silver Arrow, outpacing Germany and the United States. Leading the charge will be the redesigned E-Class, which is set to launch in China this week. That will quickly be followed by the S-Class, and eventually by the GLA-Class in 2014.
Mercedes has struggled in China, especially relative to its German competition, BMW and Audi. Where Mercedes saw a mere four-percent increase in 2012 sales to 206,150 units, Audi was up a staggering 32 percent, while BMW's numbers jumped 41 percent. While some voices, according to Reuters, accuse Munich and Ingolstadt of boosting their numbers through hefty incentives, the fact remains that Mercedes was just walloped by its competitors last year.
