Vehicle Description
Just arrived is this incredible, all original, and ultra-low mileage example of the R107 series Mercedes-Benz SL-Class, in the most sought after trim and color combination (Signal Red and Cream Beige leather). This SL has had two owners since new, and was first used as a summer-only car in Ontario, Canada by the original owner, who then sold it to his neighbor a few years later (2001), where it became a winter-only car in Naples, Florida.
As a person who has dealt in scores of these cars over the years, both privately and working for a company that specializes in them - I can say without reservation or hesitation that this is the finest example I have ever seen. It is an absolute show car, and I always err on the side of caution when describing these cars to people - preferring that a buyer be pleasantly surprised rather than let down. That said, I can simply find nowhere to fault this incredibly preserved machine, from the condition of the paint, to the perfect leather and wood, to the immaculate carpet, to the wear-free buttons and switches, to the no cracks on the dash, to the supple original soft top with crystal clear windows, to the drive quality, and to the remarkable maintenance its had to be in such excellent mechanical health. It literally drives like new, and shows no leaks or trouble of any kind, with cold AC, proper heat, excellent vacuum control, and no issues anywhere.
Being originally sold in Canada, this car - while otherwise identical in every way to a US model - has a speedometer/odometer in kilometers instead of miles, and a temperature gauge in Celsius. It just turned 60,024 KM, which works out to 37,297 miles. The KM reading makes it a prime candidate for export to Europe, or if it is sold to the US, we can have our workshopdo a documented speedometer/odometer change (if desired) to switch from the KM to miles.
It has the original hard top in excellent condition, and has been freshly serviced by our Bosch-certified workshop. It includes all factory keys and books, including two masters and one valet. It has had no paintwork anywhere, no body rust on the top or bottom (never driven in snow, and the last owner swears never driven in rain!), and the factory wheels are in stellar condition all around, with fresh Goodyear tires. This car is incredibly original, down to the factory spare tire and wheel, first aid box, and still-sealed toolkit! If you're looking for one to collect or drive very sparingly as it appreciates, then look no further - this is the right car. Phone us at (239) 273-1150 or (239) 261-3600 for sales information.

Hurricane Patricia made landfall in Mexico this weekend, and made her presence known throughout the South. For two of the three days of the grand prix weekend it rained non-stop in Austin, so badly on Saturday that qualifying had to be postponed until Sunday morning, and then it only stayed dry enough to conduct the first two sessions. At the end of a tricky, slippery Q2 Nico Rosberg had put his Mercedes-AMG Petronas on the front row, one tenth ahead of teammate Lewis Hamilton. The German had done the best he could to keep his hair-thin chances of a World Championship fight alive. Daniel Ricciardo lined his Infiniti Red Bull Racing chassis in third ahead of teammate Daniil Kvyat, both drivers having moved up a place because Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel took a ten-spot grid penalty for using a fifth engine and dropped to 13th. Continuing the two-up theme, Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg were fifth and sixth for Force India. After that came variety: Felipe Massa in seventh for Williams, Max Verstappen for Toro Rosso in eighth, Fernando Alonso looking good in the rain for McLaren in ninth, and Romain Grosjean for Lotus in tenth. When the lights went out, Turn 1 set the tone. Pole position is on the outside line at Circuit of the Americas, and Hamilton had got himself far enough under Rosberg by the time the two got up the hill that Rosberg had to stick to the outside through the corner. At the corner exit Hamilton used the entire track, pushing Rosberg wide, their cars touching. As Rosberg left the track and dropped back to fourth, Hamilton radioed to the team to say the contact was unintentional. The two Mercedes' and two Red Bulls animated the front. Rosberg passed Ricciardo at the end of a Virtual Safety Car period employed to let the marshals clean the debris at Turn 1. Kvyat started chasing down Hamilton until the Russian ran wide and let Rosberg and Ricciardo through, then Rosberg ran wide on the next lap to let Ricciardo through. On Lap 15, Ricciardo passed Hamilton through the esses to take the lead. After the first round of pit stops the Aussie still had the lead, followed by Rosberg, Kvyat, Hamilton, and Vettel. Then Rosberg got around to take the lead and Vettel closed in on Hamilton as the Brit duked it out with the Russian. Rosberg showed excellent speed, building up a nine-second gap on Ricciardo, but a Safety Car period erased that when Marcus Ericsson had to park his dead Sauber on the inside of the track after Turn 10.

A Mercedes is hardly what we'd call a budget proposition for most, but everything being relative, what's the cheapest Mercedes you can buy in America? That used to be the C-Class, but not at the $40k it's pushing these days. The CLA or GLA start at over $31k, so one of those must be it... right? Keep trying. And the Smart Fortwo doesn't count. No, the most cost-effective Mercedes you can get in America is the one you're looking at here. It's the new Metris van, and it starts at just $28,950 (*plus a $995 destination fee). Joining the Sprinter (which starts at upwards of $35k), the Metris is Benz's new midsize van – filling a niche in between small vans like the Nissan NV200 or Ford Transit Connect and fullsize ones like the aforementioned Sprinter. It's about as long as the Dodge Caravan-based Ram C/V, but narrower, taller and with significantly more payload and cargo space. Mercedes calls it "right-sized," and evidently hopes commercial drivers and fleet operators will agree. Now if you've never heard the name Metris, you were probably distracted by all the glitz and glamor when Mercedes presented four of them at the SEMA show late last year. But that's alright, because it's a new nameplate: it's essentially the same as the Vito sold overseas, where it will continue carrying that same name, while being sold in North America as the Metris. Both cargo and passenger versions will be offered, the latter starting at $32,500 (plus that $995 destination fee). Power comes from a four-cylinder gasoline engine driving 208 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels through a seven-speed automatic transmission. It's also got all the electronic bells and whistles you'd expect from a Mercedes, including fuel-efficiency and safety equipment – but stopping short, of course, of the luxury features. This is not that kind of Mercedes, and the luxed-up V-Class version offered overseas won't be making it Stateside. The Metris is being showcased this week at the NTEA work truck show in Indianapolis, with deliveries set to commence this coming October through a network of over 200 Mercedes van dealers across America, who will offer it alongside the larger Sprinter. MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS MIDSIZE COMMERCIAL VAN MAKES ITS DEBUT AT NTEA WORK TRUCK SHOW - "Mercedes-Benz Metris": The next big thing is mid-sized. - Introduction of the "Mercedes-Benz Metris" nameplate for the U.S.
