New Mercedes-Benz G550 looks very old
The 2019 Mercedes-Benz G550 looks just like the 1970s model it replaces, but looks can be deceiving. Fox News Autos editor Gary Gastelu says the high tech SUV is bigger and better than the original G.

A 1996 Mercedes-Benz S600 originally owned by NBA legend Michael Jordan has been sold on Ebay for $202,200.

Jordan can be seen driving it during an episode of the ESPN documentary series "The Last Dance," which chronicles the end of his career with the Chicago Bulls.

The V12-powered dark navy blue coupe features a body kit, wheels and dual exhaust by Mercedes-Benz tuner Lorinser and an era-appropriate built-in car phone that's still nicknamed "Jordan" on the display.

The car was listed on Aug. 13 by Beverly Hills Car Club with an opening price of $23 dollars -- in tribute to Jordan's iconic jersey number -- but its first bid was $150,000. The winning bid was placed on Aug. 21 and the auction closed on -- appropriately enough -- Aug. 23.

The buyer hasn't come forward yet, but paid a pretty high celebrity premium for the car, which has a value closer to $12,000, according to the Hagerty Price Guide.
