This is one of the first 1991 500Sl imported in USA. When my father bought it, Mercedes Benz of San Diego charged him a $5,000 mark up. MSRP was $94,000. This car was always in San Diego, CA until my father (89 years old now) gave it to me. The first thing my father did was to install a cellular phone. Remember how cellular phone were in 1991. Well the phone still in the car with no service of course. I ship the car to Arlington, Virginia and registered it under my name. I guess I can say is a one owner car. I have copy of the CA title under my father name to support that. My father gave me the car with 2 keys, manual owner and a very big binder with all the maintenance records and repairs. When I received the 500SL, the roof has some scratches. My father used to store the roof in his garage on a stand and I guess got scratched inside the garage. So I have the roof repaint. Other than that, the car was never in any accident or collision. Always indoor in CA and still indoor in VA. It is completely rust free. I also have a major tune up done. Cost $1500. Invoice is in the binder. I changed the wheels (still have the original), replace the front grille (AMG look) and clear front turn signal. New tires Michelin Pilot all around.
Everything is in pristine condition with the exception of a few things. Driver side sun visor miss the mirror cover. The passenger side door trim panel has the storage box lid with a broken tab. CD changer in the trunk (12 Discs) don't work. There is a paint chip on the driver side door cladding. All that is documented in the picture.

Mercedes making aggressive plans for Chinese market
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Mercedes-Benz is preparing a major product offensive to counteract lagging sales in the Chinese market, aiming 20 new or updated models at the People's Republic in the next two years, according to a report by Reuters. The plan is part of MB's so-called 2020 Initiative, which will see the Stuttgart-based manufacturer dump 2 billion Euros ($2.67 billion) into its Chinese market vehicles in a bid to boost sales to 300,000 units by 2015.
Were it to succeed, China would become the largest market for the Silver Arrow, outpacing Germany and the United States. Leading the charge will be the redesigned E-Class, which is set to launch in China this week. That will quickly be followed by the S-Class, and eventually by the GLA-Class in 2014.
Mercedes has struggled in China, especially relative to its German competition, BMW and Audi. Where Mercedes saw a mere four-percent increase in 2012 sales to 206,150 units, Audi was up a staggering 32 percent, while BMW's numbers jumped 41 percent. While some voices, according to Reuters, accuse Munich and Ingolstadt of boosting their numbers through hefty incentives, the fact remains that Mercedes was just walloped by its competitors last year.
Mercedes fits new C-Class with AMG kit
Sat, 28 Dec 2013It's only been a week and a half since Mercedes-Benz revealed the new C-Class, and it'll likely be a while yet before the replacement for the C63 AMG comes along. But if you want to see a preview of what it'll look like, look no further than the AMG aero kit that has just surfaced.
Expected to debut on the new C-Class at the fast-approaching Detroit Auto Show, the AMG Line Exterior Pack adds a new bumpers front and rear, side skirts, dual exhaust tips, mesh grille, aluminum window frames and - most importantly - 18-inch alloys packing upgraded brakes and fitted to a lowered sport suspension. All of which will help any C-Class look the part, even if the engine remains stock.
Mercedes says it's tops in luxury sales for 2012, not BMW
Tue, 19 Feb 2013It turns out that Mercedes-Benz North America has legitimate claim to being the top selling luxury nameplate in the US in 2012.
While sources such as Autodata had put BMW in the top spot, registration data from R.L. Polk shows that Mercedes customers registering new vehicles topped the Bavarian automaker in the most recent calendar year. Polk says Benz posted 274,123 registrations, compared with BMW's 268,498.
In terms of sales posted, BMW had bested Benz 281,460 to 274,134. But sales are recorded somewhat inconsistently from automaker to automaker. Some book the sales as soon as they are shipped from factory to dealer. There is perennial gamesmanship between the two German rivals, and the sales numbers suggest that BMW pushed out some extra sheetmetal to dealers in the last four weeks of the year.
