Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Mechanically in very good shape; some scratches and very minor rust. Paint is still shiny. Engine is very powerful, pulls strong. Transmission shifts fine but requires finesse unless you are trying to push it to the limit. A few cosmetic details but this car is solid. One piece of trim missing on passenger side front; lower trim is inside car and just needs to be re-installed I think. Driver's seat has a rough area that could use a patch. Carpet is excellent, trunk and rear interiors are immaculate. Original AM/FM stereo readout is a little worn out but sounds good and play tapes perfectly. Engine compartment is excellent. Hard top and soft top both are in great shape. Third brake light (on trunk) has damage."

This is the classic Mercedes-Benz convertible that was produced for decades with minor modifications.  A great car from a great brand.  This two-seater has a surprising amount of power for a "little car" because it's got an eight-cylinder engine. Wish I didn't have to sell it, but I got laid off from my job and need the money.

Red interior on the car holds up well with the rare metallic tan "Champagne" exterior color. The carpet is in great shape, and the back "rear seat" storage area and trunk look brand new therefore hardly used for any reason.

Comes with a hard top (also Champagne color) that has glass side windows and a glass rear window. It lifts off with a special tool -- included -- and there's still the soft top (standard black color) which is in great condition too if you find yourself needing it.

Air conditioner blows cold right from the get-go. The controls aren't as fancy as modern day Mercedes, but that was then, this is now. A few lights on the dashboard need attention but my mechanic checked out the functionality and wasn't concerned.

The car has a lot life left in it. Clearly it needs a little maintenance though, and most of what it needs is some cosmetics after all this years. There are some light scratches in many places, but before doing a whole paintjob, I'd fix some of the very minor rust edges and some bubbling that is apparent. It's a solid car but after this many years of use, it's bound to have issues like this. Very inexpensive work needed; even a beginner could handle it.

Note that the paint is still in great shape except for the scratches which it's hard to see in the photos. The areas where it needs paint are on the passenger side and you can see in those photos. However it's easy to see how shiny the rest of the paint still is, because if you look at the photo of the hood, for example, the refection of a yellow-leaved tree on the left side of the hood is reflected throughout. (You can see the same reflection in the chrome of the bumper on the left side.)

Mercedes giving SL a nose job

Tue, Dec 9 2014

Mercedes tends to keep its SL roadster around longer than most models. The previous fifth-generation machine was launched in 2001, underwent a facelift in 2009 and stuck around until 2012. That's when the current model was introduced, and before it's replaced, Benz is expected to roll out another facelifted version. And that seems to be exactly what we're looking at here. Expected to arrive sometime in 2016 as a 2017 model, the updated SL will likely feature revised styling front and rear (along with updated interior equipment). This prototype appears to be wearing headlights from the new S-Class Coupe, which don't fit precisely, but then Daimler still has a couple of years to get everything just right.

Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 teases gullwing doors in video

Tue, Aug 16 2016

Because these are the times we live in, automakers tease their biggest and best debuts mercilessly before finally dropping the curtain. That's why we're writing about the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Concept again. Here's a new video, posted on Mercedes' Instagram page, showing even more of the hulking two-door coupe. For one, it looks like Mercedes is revisiting gullwing doors. There's a brief snippet of the doors in the open position with a red light – possibly a brake light – bisecting the roof. The video also gives us a couple of good looks at the taillights, which are super-model skinny, just like the lamps up front. Look close at the rear three-quarter cut, and you'll spot a strong chrome strip that accentuates and breaks up those beefy rear haunches. It's hard to tell where they fit in with the chrome strips on the front fenders and hood, so we'll probably need to wait until the big debut to see how it all works out. As we've said twice already, the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 debuts on August 18. Stay tuned. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Smart Cross Connect app changes how ForTwos get used [UPDATE]

Tue, Oct 27 2015

UPDATE: The story's been updated with a response from a Smart representative. There are parking spaces, and then there are Fortwo parking spaces. Smart, which is owned by Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler, is looking for a way for its customers to take advantage of the difference. Think of it as a big thing for really small cars. Smart is working on an app for the redesigned Fortwo called Cross Connect that will be available as soon as next month, says Automotive News, citing Smart chief Annette Winkler. The idea is to connect owners of the diminutive two-seat vehicles to, for example, let them tell each other when there's a parking space that's too small for just about any other vehicle but big enough for a Smart. If you think that's a small thing, think again. The Fortwo is 8 feet, 10 inches long. That's almost six feet shorter than a Toyota Prius, which itself isn't exactly a stretch limo. In fact, the length of a Smart Fortwo is just 10 inches longer than the width of a Ford F-150, in case anyone was having misgivings about parking perpendicular in a parallel spot. Parking has become more relevant, and tougher, as more people move to urban centers. For instance, BMW said earlier this month that it would discontinue its DriveNow car-sharing operations in San Francisco because of the challenge of parking vehicles on that city's streets. Other possible amenities with the Cross Connect app including the enabling of personal car sharing as well as information on car washes that offer discounted rates for Smart Fortwo. Yes, there are some out there, apparently, and we salute them. Michael Minielly, a spokesman for Mercedes-Benz, confirmed to Autoblog that the Cross Connect features would be available in November.
