1988 Mercedes 560 SL The 560SL, Mercedes has all the right offerings, bullet-proof reliability, satisfying power, and aggressive good looks. The 560SL combined all that into the V-8 R107. These Mercedes 560sl are a cultural icon that quietly and confidently told the world its occupants had "arrived." Standard equipment included driver's side airbag and ABS brakes. Interior improvements for the 560SL included lovely burlwood accents, improved lateral seatback support, and a power passenger side mirror. This 1988 Mercedes 560SL has spent it's entire life as a weekend sports car. It is Signal Red with a palomino leather interior. (One of the best color combinations ever offered on the 560SL). The car is all original including the paint, bright work, leather interior and carpeting. The car does have an upgraded Pioneer AM/FM CD radio installed and the original Becker radio comes with the car. Also included is the original first aid kit, (which is 100% complete) all the original dealer brochures and keys, and an almost impossible to find 1988 Mercedes Dealer album, dealer optioned chrome wheels, new German cloth top, new Bosch battery, new tires, original spare tire, Mercedes carpeted floor mats, hard top with the stand and a cover and a windscreen deflector that has the original storage bag. I am not a dealer but a car collector that looked at many 560SL before I purchased this car for my private collection. If you know Mercedes SL's then you know that the 1988 and the 1989 are the most sort after cars. This car 26 years ago sold for $61,130.00 That was a lot of money in 1988 as it still is today. As a weekend car this car has traveled less that 3,000 miles a year since new. It has always been garaged kept since new. It was originally sold at Princeton NJ Mercedes then spent the next 17 years in the NY Hamptons before I purchased it. These cars are increasing in value and are very sort after in the right color combination. This car being unrestored was judged at an AACA national meet and received a First Junior first time out. The car is being sold as is with no warranty expressed or implied. The car is also for sale locally and the seller reserved the right to end the auction at any time. The buyer will be responsible for all delivery/ shipping cost. The car has a clean title and will not be turned over to the buyer until all funds have cleared. I highly recommend that you come and test drive this beautiful example of this 560SL. The car is located in central New Jersey. |

Daimler: 2017 the right time to launch our hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle
Tue, Jul 22 2014Zero-emissions vehicle development has never focused purely on off-the-line acceleration. So when a research executive with Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler says it's Okay that companies like Toyota and Hyundai will have a head start selling hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle, it's somewhat believable. But is Daimler really fine with being two years behind? It appears so. Daimler plans on debuting its first fuel-cell vehicle in 2017, Automotive News says, citing an interview Automobilwoche had with Daimler's corporate research chief Herbert Kohler. The German automaker estimated about a decade ago that it would be able to get fuel-cell production costs down to an "acceptable" level in 2012, but it turns out that estimate was about five years too aggressive. Daimler originally started leasing out a limited number of its F-Cell hydrogen vehicles in the US for $849 a month, though later brought that down to $599 a month. Daimler says it received a boost in its effort to accelerate fuel-cell powertrain development when it reached an agreement early last year with Nissan and Ford to work together on speeding up relevant powertrain technology. While Toyota's first fuel-cell vehicle in Japan is priced at almost $70,000 (before big government incentives kick in), Kohler says Daimler's first fuel-cell vehicle will be priced similar to a hybrid vehicle. Of course, that's a Mercedes-Benz hybrid we're talking about here, but still. Related Gallery Mercedes-Benz F-Cell View 9 Photos News Source: Automotive News - sub. req.

Mercedes-Petronas AMG W04 launched to little fanfare, lots of pressure [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013No indoor cocktail hour for the launch of the W04, the newest chassis built by the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One team. Instead, Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton spent a morning in photo and video sessions at the track in Jerez, Spain then paused a moment to introduce the car. The team will want the W04 to demonstrate the World Championship credentials of the team personnel and one of the team drivers, instead of the mostly humble performances we've seen over the past three years.
The W04 has been fitted with a new five-element front wing, pushrod front and pull-rod rear suspension, a second-generation Coanda exhaust and an "aggressively packaged" rear end. A small vanity panel, à la Infiniti Red Bull's RB9, covers the stepped nose.
Team principal Ross Brawn has called it "a clear step forward in design and detail sophistication," but as much as we truly respect Brawn's abilities and achievements, we heard him say similar things about the updated W03 last year before almost every race weekend from about mid-season. We really hope he's right this time, and so does the team's newest driver, Lewis Hamilton. We'll do our best to ignore the parallels of the Mercedes F1 team having signed a sponsorship deal with Blackberry, another company trying to find its way back to the top and still struggling, and just point you to the video below of the W04 in action.
Daimler cutting Mercedes and Smart prices by 18% in Switzerland
Wed, Jan 21 2015Automakers including Daimler and PSA are now offering substantial discounts in Switzerland to make it more affordable for Swiss customers to buy their cars, according to the latest from Bloomberg. The move, instituted by two of Europe's largest automakers, comes in response to the surprise decision last week by the Swiss National Bank to suddenly abandon its longstanding policy of capping trading of the Swiss Franc to 1.20 francs per euro. The policy has sent the value of the franc soaring, making imports into Switzerland less expensive while increasing the value of its exports. The discounts being offered by the automakers could therefore be viewed more as price adjustments to better match the changing currency value rather than an actual incentive. But whichever way you look at it, a new Mercedes or Smart will now cost Swiss buyers 18 percent less than the list price, while Peugeot and Citroen dealers in the Confoederatio Helvetica are chopping 1,000 francs ($1,144) off the price of a new passenger car or 1,500 francs ($1,716) for a new commercial vehicle. Conversely, high-end Swiss watchmakers like Rolex and Patek Philippe are looking at increasing their prices to keep up with the currency fluctuation, particularly in Japan, where the yen has dropped 17 percent against the franc in the past few days.
