This car is a classic Mercedes Benz 500sel in great condition. It has just under 76,000 miles and these cars are legendary for lasting over a half million miles on the same drivetrain. The car comes with all original parts besides the factory radio was updated with a premium Pioneer unit. The front dashboard speakers were also replaced with premium Pioneer 5"x7" speakers. The audio is clear and pleasing. The engine in this car is a 5.0 liter(303 cubic inches) naturally asperated v8, and the transmission is a center-shift four speed automatic. This car has the smoothest ride you could ask for with plenty of power to get you where you want to go. I am also including a second set of tripple chrome plated 18" Mercedes Benz AMG rims with new Lexani extra load street tires. The interior is in good condition with clean carpet and new custom floor mats. The leater is in good condition with a one wear mark on the front driver seat from the seatbelt, but nothing that is soar on the eyes. The dashboard did have some cracking and pealing that I fixed with 3m interior dashboard glue. the cracks are still visible, but its all there and tough to notice. All seats in the car have heat, and the rear seat in the car reclines. The chrome on this car is all in great condition with little to no wear. The car is used and does have around 24 total micro surface scratches and dings that will not show up on the pictures and are hard to notice unless you look up close. I took the car to a body shop and they estimated the total cost to restore the exterior to brand new would be between $1,000 & $1,500. The sun roof on this car is the largest one I have ever seen. Included as extra is a car cover, the original floor mats, some extra fan belts, an extra rear door trim replacement, and the 18" AMG chrome rims with tires. Thanks for looking.

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.
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.
Rare Isdera Imperator 108i flexes its considerable muscles
Mon, 05 Aug 2013The Isdera Imperator 108i is a remarkably rare supercar from the late 80s and early 90s. Born of a Mercedes-Benz concept car, it's powered by a range of AMG-developed V8s, with five to six liters of displacement, depending on the engine. The example shown here, lapping the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit, features the most potent 6.0-liter V8 available. And rather than just being driven about on a perfectly clean racing line, it's freaking power sliding!
Yes, there's something eternally childlike about a wedge-shaped supercar from our formative years being flung about a Belgian racetrack. Adding to the appeal is the Imperator's stumpy, periscopic rear mirror, sticking out of the roof. Even after being out of production for 20 years, this is still a wild, wild car and we'd happily snap up the opportunity pilot one of the 36 Isderas that were built. Take a look below for the full video from Spa.
