1986 Mercedes-benz 560sl Convertible 2-door - 2 Owners - 2 Tops on 2040-cars
|
Yes, you deserve it. Yes, you should buy it. This is a 2 Owner, Adult owned FLORIDA car! The R107 series of Mercedes-Benz roadsters were
some of the most successful cars ever produced by the German automaker. Today
they remain fantastic cruisers with great performance and an iron-clad
reputation for quality and durability. This beautifully maintained 2 owners
Burgundy1986 560SL is the one to own with the biggest engine fitted to an R107
and the longest list of standard features. Of course it still carries the
instantly-recognizable bodywork that defined almost two decades' worth of SLs. This astoundingly clean SL is exactly the kind
of no-stories car you want to own. There's still a great shine to the paint
because you truly did get something exceptional for your money back in 1986 and
there's no denying that Mercedes-Benz did put these together with extreme
care-just look at the way the panels fit. And until you've slammed the door on
one of these over-built tanks you don't know how solid a topless car can be.
The beautiful elegant Black interior is largely new including fresh seat cover.
The seats have that firm feeling that only
Mercedes seats seem to deliver and all the gauges are fully functional. In fact
everything works rare on other machines this sophisticated but common on
well-maintained R107s. By '86 just about everything was standard on the SL
including automatic climate control a power passenger side mirror power windows
cruise control and recent additions like airbags and ABS brakes. The fully
lined trunk is fitted with plush black carpets and this car includes both a
soft top and removable hardtop and a battery trickle charger. We will also
include the Hardtop cradle and Hoist for easy on off install and removal of the
hardtop. Recently serviced with virtually all the receipts the 5.6-liter V8 engine under the hood was a big upgrade in the power department. The engine lights off with a rumbling V8 idle and pulls hard thanks to 227 horsepower and a quick-shifting 4-speed automatic transmission. The engine bay is tidy, but the hood liner needs to be replaced, and shows signs of the recent service work and original details like the painted fender bolts (at the factory the fenders were installed and then the car was painted) and production tag on the radiator cradle remain completely intact. These cars routinely run hundreds of thousands of miles with proper maintenance and thanks to the extensive paperwork with this one you can buy with confidence. Even the tires are relatively recent on near-flawless 16-inch M-B alloy wheels. Even though it's nearly 25 years old this SL commands respect on the road with great performance and sumptuous comfort. Showing up in this car still means you've truly arrived; only you will know how affordable it really is. This car has been well maintained all its life, including a long list of recent service items. This car starts right up, runs great and looks great. Is it perfect? No, it is not a garage queen. This car comes with 2 keys, tools, top removal tool and the maintenance and owners manual A rare Windscreen for comfortable top down motoring is included. No messed up hair on arrival. Bid Today or

Comparison test: 2019 Acura RDX vs. compact luxury SUV competitors
Fri, Jun 1 2018Truth be told, if we were to compare the all-new 2019 Acura RDX with those compact luxury crossover SUVs it would most likely be cross-shopped against, you'd be looking at a different list. Even Acura admits that Lexus and Infiniti are the most likely bogies, but with the 2019 RDX, Honda's luxury brand is attempting to attract those customers who think as much with their hearts as with their heads. And for the most part, those folks have been buying from German brands: the Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class. So, to show how the new RDX compares to them, Acura actually provided examples of each during the recent press drive along with a Volvo XC60. All were determined to have greater emotional appeal than the last RDX, and we would certainly agree. For, as much as the previous-generation RDX made sense on paper, it was really hard to get excited about it. And when you're paying extra for a luxury vehicle, shouldn't you get a little excited? Well, as luck would have it, Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski and I were on hand in Whistler, British Columbia, for the press launch. We didn't have an abundance of time in each RDX competitor, but in conjunction with our usual comparison chart, our impressions should provide a good first taste of how the new RDX compares. Performance and fuel economy Contributing Editor James Riswick: On paper at least, the RDX is gutsier than its comparably powered European rivals. It also weighs the same or less, which logically should mean it'll be the quickest in a straight line. During my brief drives, though, I'm not sure it really stood taller than the three Germans. It at least matches them for smoothness, which is something that can't be said about the Volvo. Fuel economy is lower than them all when you consider all but the Mercedes come standard with all-wheel drive. It's also worth noting that all the competitors are available with engine upgrades, and unless Acura's forthcoming resurrection of Type S models includes the RDX, it should stay that way. Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski: Line 'em all up in a drag race, and I have a feeling the Acura would squirt away to victory. A good bit of that, though, would be due to its 10-speed automatic transmission, which offers a huge spread of ratios and fires off extremely quick shifts. In the real world, I'd guess fuel economy will be similar across the board, so I'm willing to call that category a draw.
Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive gets official US launch
Mon, Jul 21 2014It's finally time to plug in the first production Mercedes-Benz-branded electric vehicle in the US. The Daimler division, which also sells a few of its battery-electric Smart ForTwo vehicles here in the states, has officially launched sales of the Mercedes-Benz B-Class ED. Even better, the US will be the first market in the world to give the general public access to the new plug-in. As with many other EV debuts, the flyover states will have to wait a bit. Mercedes-Benz is only selling the B-Class ED in 10 coastal states, including California, Oregon, New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Maine, and hasn't said anything about when a broader release might happen. Earlier this month, the US Department of Energy rated the B-Class electric with an 87-mile single-charge range, which is comparable to that of the Nissan Leaf and BMW i3. The other shoe dropped, though, when it was revealed that the model has an 84 miles per gallon equivalent rating, which is about 30 percent less then both of those other EVs. The culprit for the model, which puts out 177 horsepower and has a base price of $41,150, is its heavier curb weight. Check out Autoblog's "First Drive" impressions here.
2013 Airstream Interstate 3500 EXT
Mon, 19 Aug 2013LA To The Grand Canyon In The Mercedes-Benz Of RVs
Piloting an 8,500-pound motorized house down the highway is far from my idea of fun, yet inexplicably, I'm enjoying myself. My grin has nothing to do with my camper's handling, as this heavily accoutered Mercedes-Benz Sprinter drives like a 25-foot long breadbox. My smile has nothing to do with on-road stability, as the ten-foot-tall, slab-sided vehicle reacts to wind gusts like the vertical stabilizer on a Boeing jet. My delight has nothing to do with its throttle or braking response, either, as both are as numb as your forehead after the eighth beer.
This monstrosity makes me happy for one reason - my passengers are undeniably having a good time.
