         We purchased this a few weeks back from a dealer we deal with in Hilton Head S.C.  ...When we got the car it drove out well as it was and could tell it had been maintained as it should.. The A/C was nice and cold and it went through all the gears nice and smooth..



          As you can tell from some of our photos we keep SL s and SLC s in stock, I enjoy the cars because they are rugged yet dependable and still look as cool as they did in the 70's and 80's..When we got the car we knew that there was a clerical error at some point and the carfax reads mileage inconsistently,This usually happens when the odometer stops working (this one works fine)..Not sure what happened and its not a big issue to us as its a 29 year old car..


           The car went to service for an inspection and really all it seemed to need was an oil change so that's all we have done to it..The car cranks  as it should and tracks down the road well, The steering box and rack feel tight and doesn't wander..These are expensive if they need replacing..

            Both of the power windows work smooth and don't get stuck or need any help going up and down..The cruise control works well, the A/C as stated earlier is fine, the clock works.. Sorry about the radio it's an aftermarket cd player, I am a factory type guy but it is a clean installation..
           Mechanically the car sounds great and does't have any odd noises coming from anywhere throughout the car..


          The tires are in excellent shape and have plenty of tread on them..Usually I will have the wheels separated from tires and have them properly resprayed but these are like new..I believe the car to be a several year old respray of the entire car because the paint is in excellent condition, The paint seems to be a base/clear job and there are virtually no imperfections..A very high quality job was done on the car..All of the moulding and rubber gaskets and such were replaced or removed before painting..There is no over spray on the outside of the car whatsoever..The rocker panels are clean and don't seem to have any rust in the common places..There is a small section under the left front body trim that shows about a tic- tac sized spot of rust right above the trim piece..Not worth repairing if you were to ask me..The undercarriage is nice and tidy and seems to not have been abused.. There is a slight bit of seepage coming from the oil pan area but the car as been on pavement for two weeks and there is nothing dripping on the ground..Also the the under hood mat is brand new..Probably installed by the previous owner..


            The soft top seems to have barely been used..We put it up after hosing it down to soften and stretch it out and about ten minutes later it was simple to put up and down..Never force any soft top that you think has been down any length of time..They could stretch and tear, So hose them down and wait for it to relax and become soft again..Just a tip from old guys back in the day..Course I'm only 38..The hardtop is in great shape and needs nothing..Very easy on and off, Nothing is warped...



              Even though the car seems to have been resprayed nothing leads me to believe it has ever been in an accident, The body lines on every corner are correct as they should be..All of the stainless is in nice shape and the chrome on the bumpers is nice also..There is a very very small ding in the middle of the bumper on the rear on the top...The trunk is nice and tidy and comes complete with factory spare with tire as well as all tools along with caution display placard for an emergency...The dash has the smallest crack near the bezel that you can imagine..I tried to take a close up of it..This is not a dash cover..The wood is shiny and completely intact..The chrome around the wood is all there and not frayed or warped..The seats are in excellent shape with very little wear on the bolsters..They have not been redone..They are the original leather..


               Overall this is a nice above driver quality car with virtually no issues to speak of..It can driven daily if you were to ask me..They are reliable cars anyways..Yes this a double cam chain car for those who weren't sure about the 84's..I appreciate the opportunity to do business with those of you who have read this...Chris

                We have priced the car to what we believe is fair for the buyer and the seller, Because it is less than others doesn't reflect the condition of the vehicle..We are realistic as to what a car like this is really worth in today's world..

                Car is not for sale locally while it is on E-Bay, Or outside of E-bay (please don't ask)..
               
                If anyone needs quotes on shipping please e-mail me your zip code  

                If you have any questions please feel to call also...I am a car guy also....

Trump calls Germans 'very bad,' vows to stop their car sales in US

Fri, May 26 2017

TAORMINA, Italy -Talks between President Trump and other leaders of the world's rich nations at the G7 summit on Friday were expected to be "robust" and "challenging" after he had lambasted NATO allies and condemned Germans as "very bad" for their trade policies. Trump's confrontational remarks in Brussels, on the eve of the two-day summit in the Mediterranean resort town of Taormina, cast a pall over a meeting at which America's partners had hoped to coax him into softening his stances on trade and climate change. According to German media reports, Trump condemned Germany as "very bad" for its trade policies in a meeting with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, signaling he might take steps to limit sales of German cars in the United States. "The Germans are bad, very bad," he reportedly told Juncker. "Look at the millions of cars that they're selling in the USA. Horrible. We're gonna stop that." White House economic adviser Gary Cohn on Friday confirmed the reports. "He said they're very bad on trade, but he doesn't have a problem with Germany." Cohn said Trump had pointed out during the meeting that his father had German roots in order to underscore the message that he had nothing against the German people. Trump's spokesman Sean Spicer said Trump had "tremendous respect" for Germany and had only complained about unfair trade practices in the meeting. Juncker called the reports in Spiegel Online and Sueddeutsche Zeitung exaggerated. The reports translated "bad" with the German word "boese," which can also mean "evil," leading to confusion when English-language media translated the German reports back into English. "The record has to be set straight," Juncker said, noting that the translation issue had exaggerated the seriousness of what Trump had said. "It's not true that the president took an aggressive approach when it came to the German trade surplus." "He said, like others have, that (the United States) has a problem with the German surplus. So he was not aggressive at all," Juncker added. In January, Trump threatened to slap a 35 percent tax on German auto imports. "If you want to build cars in the world, then I wish you all the best. You can build cars for the United States, but for every car that comes to the USA, you will pay 35 percent tax," he said. "I would tell BMW that if you are building a factory in Mexico and plan to sell cars to the USA, without a 35 percent tax, then you can forget that." Last year, the U.S.

Daimler CEO says nobody is making money on EVs right now

Wed, Nov 5 2014

What do you charge for a vehicle you're going to lose money on? If you're Mercedes-Benz and the vehicle in question is the B-Class Electric Drive, you offer it for lease for just 399 euros ($498) a month with a down payment of 8,473 euros ($10,582). If Daimler was going to price it honestly, it seems, the number would have to be a lot higher. "Nobody today is making a battery-powered vehicle that's economically viable." – Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche That's according to Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche, who spoke to reporters in Spain recently and said that, "You can reasonably say that nobody today is making a battery-powered vehicle that's economically viable in its own right. Manufacturers will not see a return within a reasonable time on the billions they're investing now." There are ways to make money in EVs, of course. Just ask Daimler, which recently sold its stake in Tesla for a cool $780 million. Zetsche has some EV-critical company in executives like Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne, who has said his company loses over $10,000 on each Fiat 500E it sells. Other automakers – e.g., Tesla, Nissan – are much more positive about their financial bet on EVs, but no one is opening all their books to the public to prove this. Tesla, which worked with Mercedes on the B-Class ED, will have an earnings call with investors later today, so perhaps we'll learn something new in a few hours. The B-Class ED lease deal is for 36 months, based on an MSRP of 39,151 euros ($48,895) in Europe, including the 19 percent VAT. You can read more in the press release below. Commercial release of Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive: Local emission-free driving from ˆ399/month Stuttgart, Nov 03, 2014 With its high-torque electric motor, the B-Class Electric Drive delivers lively and superior driving pleasure – with zero local emissions. The B-Class Electric Drive is now available to order, with deliveries set to start before the end of 2014. Prices start at ˆ39,151[1]. The B-Class Electric Drive can be leased through the Mercedes-Benz Bank from ˆ399 a month[2]. Further information on the full range of tailor-made leasing and financing offers as well as specific pricing examples are available at http://www.mercedes-benz-bank.de. Quiet and local emission-free driving is ensured by a 132 kW electric motor, which, as is typical of an electric drive, delivers its maximum torque of 340 Nm right from the start. The result is noticeably powerful acceleration from rest.

Mercedes GLE63 AMG Coupe teased

Thu, Jan 8 2015

The very concept of the luxury crossover coupe often gets flamed for being not only ugly, but also impractical. However, after years of letting BMW blaze the trail with the X6, Mercedes-Benz recently entered the field with the GLE-Class Coupe. Now, it's time to add a little more pepper to the package with the newly teased GLE63 AMG Coupe. The video above gives a solid look at the three-quarters perspective of this high-performance high-rider. Compared to the standard version buyers get a different front bumper with larger air intakes and an arching wing that almost appears to be floating in space. Flashes in the clip show off AMG branding for the brake calipers, steering wheel and seats, as is expected. This is clearly not a vehicle that'll appeal to everyone, but it offers an alternative to the latest BMW X6 M with 567 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque. Mercedes isn't saying what lies under the hood of the GLE63 AMG Coupe yet. Although given the name, we suspect a version of the brand's 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 is the likely choice. It's offered in the latest C63 AMG with either 469 or 503 hp. The debut for this CUV coupe is possible at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show, where the standard GLE Coupe will be unveiled.
