1992 Mercedes-benz 500sl Base Convertible 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Palmdale, California, United States
|
This is a beautiful, well cared for 1992 Mercedes 500SL. I've owned this car since June of 1993. It was purchased from Mercedes-Benz Hollywood, Inc. The car had 9,977 miles on the odometer at that time. It's been garaged during the time of my ownership and everything about the car will support that. Everything works on the car: the power windows, power seats, cruise control, cd changer, radio, power antenna, power door locks, power retractable convertible top, power mechanism that locks and unlocks the removable hardtop. The black convertible top is in excellent condition. The plastic windows on the convertible top are clear. Most of the time I kept the hardtop on the car. The leather seats, the dash and wood in the car look the way they did the day I purchased it. The A/C was converted to the new R134A refrigerant. All the maintenance receipts accumulated over the years go with the car. I still have the 500 SL badge that I removed that can be replaced if desired as well as all the keys and books. The roll bar functions the way it should and the wind deflector is still attached to it. The removable hardtop stand and the cover for the hardtop goes with the car. The tires have plenty of tread still remaining. In the 21 years of owning this car I've averaged a little over 1,500 miles a year driving it and it still drives as rock solid as the day I purchased it. This car represents an era when Mercedes really built rock solid automobiles. and parting with it is like parting with an old friend. I've owned both a 2003 SL500 and a 2007 SL550 and in comparison they both were a disappointment. The new owner of this car will have an automobile that they can be proud of and get plenty of enjoyment from driving it. If you would like to see the car please schedule an appointment. Thanks for viewing my ad and good luck in bidding.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class revealed again in 1:18 scale
Fri, 10 May 2013There is plenty to look forward to when it comes to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but it could end up being a fairly anticlimactic reveal thanks to fully exposed spy shots, a leaked press photo and now images of a diecast version of the luxury sedan. Autoweek.nl has images showing a highly detailed 1:18 scale model of the redesigned S-Class that matches up with everything we've seen so far.
This isn't the first time a model car spoiled a new vehicle's reveal, as the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and 2013 SRT Viper were both unceremoniously revealed in toy form first. World Car Fans is reporting that the car 2014 S-Class will be officially unveiled on May 15, but at this point, all that's left to wonder about is the official on-sale date and what will be under the hood.
Daimler exec hypothetically discusses 3-cylinder engines for small hybrids
Wed, Mar 26 2014Is three the magic number of cylinders for Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler and its efforts to build smaller powertrains for its compact hybrids? Potentially, yes, the German automaker could see the need for three-cylinder mills, Automotive News reports. The company doesn't have any plans for them as of yet, though. Daimler executive Bernhard Heil talked with Automotive News about the challenges of using four-cylinder engines in a front-wheel-drive setup and said that three-cylinder engines could work in transverse-mounted powertrains for hybrid cars. For now, though, the company doesn't actually have any plans to go in that direction, Mercedes-Benz spokesman Christoph Horn said in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen. Horn wrote that Heil "actually said that if ever MB would use a three-cylinder engine than [it would be] in a configuration where space is restricted, such as when using a hybrid power train in a compact car." Of course, the only compact "hybrid" that Mercedes-Benz has is the 2015 C-Class, but that refers to the "hybrid" body is made of 48-percent aluminum, up from the current nine percent, as well as steel. It has nothing to do with the powertrain. Beyond that, there's always the Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid that the company unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show last fall, but that model, which will debut in Europe later this year and arrive stateside next year, has a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 and an 80-kilowatt electric motor that propels the plug-in from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 5.5 seconds. Not exactly three-cylinder territory, that.
Formula 1 seeking independent engine supplier
Mon, Oct 26 2015Formula 1 could get a new engine supplier in the near future, if Bernie Ecclestone and the independent teams gets their way. According to Autosport, the FIA is soon to open the contract up for bids, and there are already several manufacturers that have expressed interest. Currently Mercedes, Ferrari, Renault, and Honda supply engines – both to their own premier teams (Red Bull and McLaren for the latter two) but also to other teams like Williams, Sauber, and Toro Rosso. Because the new turbocharged V6 hybrid power units cost those four suppliers so much to develop, they're charging their customer teams big bucks – around $20-30 million per season – to provide the engines. These costs are much higher than the $10 million or so it used to cost to purchase a V8 engine under the previous regulations. Ecclestone figures it's time to bring in another supplier who will not run their own team and not play favorites, but will supply engines to private teams at a lower cost. There are already a number of potential suppliers under consideration. One of them is said to be Cosworth, which has a long history in the series stretching back to 1963. The British firm stepped back between 2007 and 2009, returned in 2010, and dropped out again after 2013. The development could be of particular benefit to Red Bull, which has been unable to find an engine supplier and could be forced out of the series as a result. The team has long been powered by Renault, but that relationship has grown sour. And the other three engine manufacturers have not been forthcoming in offering an alternative arrangement for the team.
