car as lovingly and well-kept as this one.
This two-owner, 112,000 mile car has always been garaged. The interior looks new. The dash is perfect with no cracks and
everything works like it should. All
maintenance items have been attended to and the 380SL comes with extensive
documentation to prove it. The current
owner has had it since 1989. This 380SL has a perfect Carfax in addition to its stunning originality. The car drives exactly like such a well maintained and serviced 380SL should. The original paint is in very good condition. The 380SL has never been in an accident and living in Arizona and California its whole life it shows no rust anywhere. It spent every night in the garage. The engine is extremely strong with no oil leaks, the transmission shifts smoothly through the gears with no noise and the exhaust is issue free as testified to by the recent California smog test. Without a doubt, this is one of the finest classically beautiful roadster designs built by Mercedes-Benz. You will look long and hard to find a better kept or as well maintained head-turning original example in this great color combination as this SL380 car with only 112K original miles. This car has been driven less than 4,000 miles per year. This is the last and best year of the 380SL. It has both tops and the convertible top is near perfect having rarely been used. All of smoke-free interior is in great condition including the carpet and door panels. The original radio and automatic antenna works. This 380SL has all of its books, paperwork and tools. In 1985 Mercedes Benz produced just 8,144 380SLs. To find an original one is this great condition, driven less than 4,000 miles per year, is a phenomenal find. Like all 1985 380SLs this car has the 16-valve fuel-injected V-8 engine displacing 3.8 liters (233 cubic inches), with a 3.62-inch bore and 2.83-inch stroke. The compression ratio is a relatively high 9.0 to 1, and gives it 218 horsepower and 225 foot-pounds of torque. This 380SL rides on a 96.9-inch wheelbase and measures 172.8 inches long. It stands 51.2 inches tall and 70.5 inches wide. Its curb weight is listed as 3,395 lbs. Its fuel capacity is 19.8 gallons and it averages 20 mpg in mixed driving. They're only original once.

2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA order guide leaked
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The dealer order guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA has made its way online courtesy of the crew at CLAForums.com, and not only does it shed light on the ways buyers will be able to configure the entry-level sedan, it talks specific option pricing. Shoppers will be able to select between the CLA250 and CLA250 4Matic, and the option sheet should offer a number of packages to suit buyer tastes, including a sport package with tweaked fascias and unique wheels. Bi-xenon headlamps and 18-inch alloys may also be had as well as a panoramic sunroof and a collision avoidance system. The CLA will be available with a number of active safety systems on board, including lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, park assist and blind spot assist, to name a few.
The new sedan comes in 10 colors, including a very dashing purple Mecedes-Benz calls Northern Lights Violet, and there are a total of four interior trim finishes. The automaker hasn't released final pricing of all models just as of yet - we do know from Mercedes' Kate Upton Super Bowl ad that the car will start at $29,900 - but you can check out individual option and package pricing in the gallery. You can also find more information over at CLAForums.com.
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.
Daimler buying 12% stake in Beijing Auto
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Daimler and Beijing Automotive are officially going steady, with the German company set to take a 12-percent stake in the Chinese brand tomorrow. The two are already tied up in a Mercedes engine plant in Beijing, of which BAIC will increase its stake in, from 50 to 51 percent. Daimler will also get two seats on the Chinese company's board. BAIC may also gain the ability to produce cars on Mercedes-Benz platforms, according to Automotive News Europe.
The investment in BAIC comes ahead of that company's initial public offering, according to a report form Bloomberg, which indicates the deal will be inked tomorrow in the Chinese capital. According to the report, if the circumstances are right, BAIC may turn around and invest in the Germany company "soon."
It's not entirely clear just how much the 12-percent cut is costing Daimler, although it seems reasonable to assume that, as it's ahead of the IPO, the parent company of Mercedes is getting a bit of a bargain.
