DescriptionPLEASE USE YOUR BROWSER'S INNER SCROLL BAR TO SCROLL THROUGH THE ALMOST 100 PHOTOS BELOW. ZERO Feedback? Not to worry... While we have been buying and selling on eBay, personally, for more than a decade, we're just getting started with our "SL-Market" eBay account. Keep an eye out, we plan to add more items soon. Please visit our eBay "About Me" page to learn more about us and the SL Market Letter. Call me, Dave at (651) 216-1265, if you have any doubts... I'd be happy to talk to you about what we do here at the SL Market Letter and the vehicles and services we offer. 1988 Mercedes Benz 560SL Roadster Black Pearl Metallic exterior, black leather interior, original black soft top. This is a one owner car, it was originally purchased at a Mercedes-Benz dealership in Owatonna, MN (no longer there) when the car was new. It still resides with the original owner who purchased it new and, amazingly, it has just 18,252 miles as of the day I took these photos earlier this month. We see LOTS of R107 body SLs, 450s, 380s, 560s, most are just used cars at this point with long lists of needs once you really look at them closely. This is, quite simply, the nicest, cleanest, most original 560SL I have seen, ever. Get in it today and drive wherever you want. ORIGINALITY... right down to its original Pirelli P6 tires! Keep those tires if you want to win your class at a National Mercedes-Benz Club Concours, new tires should be put on the car if you plan to really put miles on it, the tread is fine, they're just original to 1988. Nobody cut holes in the parcel shelf for stereo speakers, they never put those horrible chrome fender trim pieces on the car, they never had a pin stripe put on the car, this car is as it rolled off the assembly line! Driver's airbag was replaced on time, A/C system has been regularly serviced and blows ice cold, original Becker radio is still in place and works perfectly. More about the mechanicals below. Absolute one owner, low mile, time capsule. I ran the CARFAX for the car today, and spoke with the owner about the accident from 2000. The car was lightly rear ended while stopped at a stop sign. According to Carfax 'moderate' damage was reported, perhaps that was due to the cost of a new bumper, because the owner said nothing was painted, nothing happened to the trunk, lights, rear panels at all, the rear bumper was dented and replaced. There is absolutely no evidence anywhere of any accident, there are good photos of the underside of the rear of the car. I inspected the car closely and was surprised to see that on the Carfax as the car looks perfect. EXTERIOR INTERIOR MECHANICALS This car has been largely Mercedes dealer maintained. I do have a copy of the dealer VMI (vehicle master inquiry) showing much of the recent service history. Most recent items include: May 2013 - Mileage: 18,068 - Engine oil change, filter, top off all fluids, perform safety inspection, replace battery. November 2010 - Mileage: 17,227 - Engine oil change, filter, replace radiator cap. March 2010 - Mileage: 14,570 - Engine oil change, filter. August 2009 - Mileage: 12,675 - Replace fuel injection regulator, injection nozzle, steering damper, guide tube. July 2009 - Mileage 11,344 - Replace valve cover gasket (leaking), brake fluid flush, oil change. CONCLUSION Call me, Dave (651) 216-1265, if you'd like to discuss the car in greater detail. Clean, clear title in hand. The right Buy It Now offer can end the auction and put this car in your garage today.

Europe getting special Mercedes-Benz CLA Edition 1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Last week when we saw the leaked ordering guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, one particular image caught our eye showing the interior of the new sedan with a neon yellow stripe on the seats and yellow stitching throughout the cabin. As it turns out, this will be part of a limited-edition model called the Edition 1 about which Mercedes-Benz just released some information.
Usually, automakers wait until later in a vehicle's life to introduce special models like this, but the Edition 1 will be available right out of the gate for the first 12 months the CLA-Class is on sale. The 2014 CLA-Class Edition 1 includes the more aggressive Sport package adding AMG-style fascias and wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights and a lowered suspension; it will be offered only in five colors - unfortunately, Northern Lights Purple is not one of them. In addition to the bright yellow cabin accents, the Edition 1 will get sport seats wrapped in leather and microfiber, a sporty, flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather and real aluminum trim on the instrument panel.
With no mention of the US, we're only left to imagine that this car will not be arriving on our shores, but customers in Europe will definitely be able to enjoy the mean styling and funky interior with prices ranging from 35,402 euros up to 43,940 euros.
Luxury car brands scrambling to avoid a blue Christmas
Thu, Nov 2 2017DETROIT — When financial markets surge to new records, sales of luxury cars usually rise, too. Instead, October U.S. auto sales reports on Wednesday showed that a collapse in sales of luxury sedans is accelerating. Consumers have gradually shifted over to luxury sport utility vehicles from sedans in the past decade, but the trend — which has occurred in both the non-luxury and luxury sedan segments of the auto market — was particularly pronounced in October. Sales of Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz S-Class, long a global benchmark for large, premium sedans, plunged 49 percent in October, and are down 24.8 percent for the year to date. General Motors' Cadillac brand said it sold just 779 of its CTS sedans in October. Demand for that car, designed to compete with German luxury sedans, is down nearly 33 percent for the year. "There's still a significant portion of the market that wants a car, but I'm sure there were people who preferred a horse to a car at one point." Cadillac's best-selling model this year is the XT5 compact SUV, which has more than doubled sales from a year ago. The shift within the luxury vehicle market away from sedans toward SUVs of all sizes is forcing some of the most prestigious brands to scramble to add SUV models to their lineups or boost SUV production to meet demand. "In the short term, there will be pressure to add (consumer) incentives, cut production or both," said Cox Automotive analyst Michelle Krebs. "And we just don't see an end in sight to this trend." The Dow Jones Industrial Average has been trading at all-time highs, usually a good sign for luxury sedans, but as major automakers reported new U.S. vehicle sales for October on Wednesday, sales for passenger cars continued their slide while luxury SUV and crossover sales rose again. According to Kelley Blue Book data, in 2007 luxury sedans made up 7.6 percent of U.S. new vehicle sales, while luxury SUVs made up 4.2 percent. Through September this year, luxury SUVs made up just over 7 percent of the market, compared with 4.9 percent for luxury sedans. In the short term, luxury brands could use holiday season sales promotions to clear slow-selling sedans off dealer lots, analysts said. Toyota's Lexus brand said on Wednesday it will launch its "December to Remember" year-end sales promotion for the 18th straight year.
Mercedes G 500 4x4 is mighty mean and bright lime green
Mon, Feb 23 2015The Mercedes-Benz G500 4x42, finally ready to meet the crowds at the Geneva Motor Show, might just be the best factory-prepped expedition off-roader on the market, should Mercedes choose to build it. The short story is that some well-heeled admirers of the G63 AMG 6x6 said, "It's nice, but can you take it down a notch?" And by "notch" they meant "an axle." So the G500 4x42 gets just two portal axles instead of three, and a slew of other features. The 4x4 squared offers up a standard G-wagen body, but instead of the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 from the G63, there's a new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with 422 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque. Compared to the standard G500, the track is 11.8 inches wider, the street-cred rims being 22-inchers on 325/55 R-series tires. When it's time to get dirty, they can be swapped for an optional set of 18-inch wheels with 37-inch beadlock tires. With that setup and the same wheelbase as the G500 LWB, ground clearance and fording depth are more than doubled to 17.7 inches and 39 inches respectively, the angle of approach goes from 36 degrees to 52 degrees and the angle of departure leaps from 27 degrees to 54 degrees. Breakover angle is bumped from 21 degrees to 47 degrees, a two-piece stainless steel undertray protecting the sensitive bits when you push it. The only parts that get a raised eyebrow are the carbon fiber wheel arches and bumpers, which might behave badly when they meet an immovable granite object. To escape the sensation of driving the Taj Mahal in urban environments, there's a twin spring-and-damper setup at each wheel. One of the spring-damper combos is electronically controlled and adjustable, and when called into action via the Comfort or Sport mode, takes control of wheel action; even when passive, it will kick in to automatically to stiffen the body if it detects evasive maneuvers. On top of all that, to remind you that you're in a Mercedes the interior is fitted out with Designo leather trim and diamond-quilted microfiber. Mercedes is going to gauge its Geneva reception before deciding to build it, a hurdle we're sure will be overcome. Car and Driver drove it and verified it's the real deal, with pricing - if it's built - speculated to land between the G63 AMG and G65 AMG. The press release below has all the details.
