I am offering my own personal M-B 380SE W126 for sale. I am retiring to my winter home and this car is redundant to my needs. I will also be selling a 1992 Cadillac Fleetwood with 60,000 miles shortly. I am a member of the MBCA in addition to numerous other car clubs. My phone number is 216-470-2146 and I welcome phone calls. This is one of the last of the 1st Series W126 platform cars. These were amongst the last of the over-engineered, run forever Mercedes-Benz cars.
I purchased this car from my late cousins estate. He was the original purchaser and used this car little. The original owner, Mr. Mandel was 99 years old when he died and was one of the wealthiest men in Cleveland. The actual mileage is 96,000. This works out to just over 3,500 miles per year. This car was never out of service and always maintained.
It was bought from the original Northern Ohio M-B dealer, Koepke Motors of Lakewood, OH. Bob Koepke original received his M-B franchise from Studebaker-Packard in the 1950's. All the original papers are included along with both the valet key and pocket key.
This car is in excellent running order. This particular example was fitted from new with the double row timing chain. I did do some major service though and while I loathe ads that state "fly in-drive home" this is one of those older cars. Since I have owned this car I have done the following;
Flush and refill the coolant system.
Retrofit the A/C with R134a refrigerant.
New front shocks, tie rods and ball joints.
New fuel filter, air filter, etc.
Brand new correct size Kumho tires.
The full power seats with memory beige leather seats are really nice. Still supple and soft. Very comfortable. No rips and the padding is factory correct. The interior wood trim is near perfect with the exception of the center console. This finish has some cracks but the veneer is perfect. The dash pad is original and not cracked in any way. 1985 was the last year of the large steering wheel.
The body has mostly original paint. It was repaired not from rust or accidents but this is a larger car and original owner was elderly when he bought the car. I am including 100 photos on photobucket at this address;
It carries the correct oil pressure, 2 bars when hot at idle and immediatly goes to 3 bars when above idle. The transmission shifts properly. All the lights work.
Please understand that this is a very nice safe W126 S-Class. It is not perfect as is was driven 96,000 miles in some 27 years. But with that caveat I believe this car is a good value, incredibly safe and is even fitted with Bosch ABS anti-lock brakes.
Please peruse the myriad of photos. Call me with any questions. My phone number is 216-470-2146. Thanks for looking and good luck.

Mercedes CLA45 AMG Racing is ready for a spot on the grid
Tue, 10 Sep 2013Mercedes-Benz trotted out its CLA45 AMG-based racer at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. We first showed you the sedan in the deluge of news and reveals that precedes most good auto shows, and were blown away by the car, formally known as the CLA45 AMG Racing Series.
We were strolling by the Mercedes stand, and figured we'd pop in and take a look at the new racer and its carbon-fiber body panels, gutted interior, and race-sourced aero parts. It's a looker, both as a road car and a track weapon. It's not clear what series the CLA45 AMG will qualify for, although it does seem like a shoe-in for the World Touring Car Championship. Let us know what you think of the CLA racer down in the comments. In the meantime, we've got a full gallery of live images up top, along with the stock images that were posted last week on the Mercedes-Benz Facebook page.
Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept gets mobbed in China
Sat, 20 Apr 2013If the reception it received at the Shanghai Motor Show is any judge of marketplace acceptance, Mercedes-Benz has a hit on its hands in the form of the GLA Concept. And we can understand why - we're quickly becoming fans of Mercedes' recent styling language, as defined by new models like the CLA and this GLA Concept.
The big news on the exterior front are the headlamp clusters, which have frickin' laser beams attached to their foreheads embedded inside that are capable of projecting videos and images on a screen. Plus, a pair of video cameras are mounted on the roof that can be used to capture driving excitement or removed and taken with you. How cool is that? We just hope they have a substantial locking mechanism to prevent would-be thievery...
If the exterior is mostly ready for production, with a few of the more outlandish elements moved to the trash bin - like, for instance, laser-beam headlamps and removable action cams - the interior is a true custom job that screams concept loud and clear. There are all kinds of jewel-like finishes inside, along with transparent surfaces showing what looks like metal latticework underneath and some awfully thick looking leather with massive exterior stitching done by hand similar to what you'd find on a baseball glove.
Europe getting special Mercedes-Benz CLA Edition 1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Last week when we saw the leaked ordering guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, one particular image caught our eye showing the interior of the new sedan with a neon yellow stripe on the seats and yellow stitching throughout the cabin. As it turns out, this will be part of a limited-edition model called the Edition 1 about which Mercedes-Benz just released some information.
Usually, automakers wait until later in a vehicle's life to introduce special models like this, but the Edition 1 will be available right out of the gate for the first 12 months the CLA-Class is on sale. The 2014 CLA-Class Edition 1 includes the more aggressive Sport package adding AMG-style fascias and wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights and a lowered suspension; it will be offered only in five colors - unfortunately, Northern Lights Purple is not one of them. In addition to the bright yellow cabin accents, the Edition 1 will get sport seats wrapped in leather and microfiber, a sporty, flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather and real aluminum trim on the instrument panel.
With no mention of the US, we're only left to imagine that this car will not be arriving on our shores, but customers in Europe will definitely be able to enjoy the mean styling and funky interior with prices ranging from 35,402 euros up to 43,940 euros.
