Low mileage 1989 Mercedes Benz 560 SL roadster with hard and soft tops. This two-owner Mercedes Benz 560 SL has only 52, 410 pampered miles. It has always been garage kept, and never driven in snow, rain or bad weather. There has never been any body work, dents, or scratches. The cloth factory soft top is original, and in excellent condition. The body in in desert taupe, which is one of the nicest colors in the SL roadsters. The interior is in off-white beige leather--Palimino I think. The interior leather has no rips, tears or signs of wear. The hard top comes with a carrier on wheels, and a dust cover. This fine 1989 Mercedes 560 SL also has a custom fitted car cover. The 1989 model year was the last year for this classic body style. It has the pagoda roof, and the rear window the hard top is heated. Mercedes redesigned the SL in 1986, giving it better suspension, brakes, and handling. And the 5.6 litre V-8 is rated at 250 h.p., and has lots of power and torque--unlike some earlier years. My SL has been dealer maintained since new. I purchased it from the original owner in 1996. The car has never had any smokers as owners or passengers. She has always been hand washed and waxed. The new Pirelli tires have about 1500 miles. The alloy wheels have no curb rash or damage. The spare tire is original. The original tool kowner's manual are included. The car is well equipped with cruise control, power windows, power locks, air conditioning (needs to be recharged), fog lamps, hard top, soft top, AM/FM cassette stereo radio, power antenna, and car cover. The battery is less than 6 months old. The car comes with a battery maintainer. This is fine, low-mileage 1989 MB 560 SL. One of these 1989 SL's with 40,000 miles just sold for $32k on ebay. I have a very reasonable price on this fine Mercedes automobile. I am selling my home which has a five-car garage, so I have to reluctantly sell several of my cars in my collection.

Daimler names Bernd Pischetsrieder to supervisory board
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Some executives in the automotive industry stay with one company for their entire careers, while others bounce from one to the other, often leaving their indelible mark on each automaker at which they serve. Bob Lutz is certainly an example of the latter. So is Lee Iacocca, having presided over Ford and later charing the Chrysler board. Carlos Tavares was chief operating officer of Renault before being nominated as chief executive at PSA Peugeot Citroën. But as far as the Germans go, nobody's jumped from the leadership of one automaker to the next quite like Bernd Pischetsrieder - especially now that he's been named to the supervisory board of Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler.
An engineer by training, Pischetsrieder started his career at BMW in 1973, eventually rising to the office of CEO after twenty years. There he remained until 1999, only to be dismissed after orchestrating BMW's takeover of the Rover Group (of which only the Mini brand remains in the company's portfolio, the other brands having been sold off after his dismissal).
The next year he was named chairman of Volkswagen's Seat brand, and rose to the chairmanship of the entire Volkswagen Group two years later. Despite a largely successful four-year tenure (that gave birth, incidentally, to the Bugatti Veyron), disagreements with supervisory board chairman Ferdinand Piëch saw him leave the helm at VW AG, focusing his attention on the Scania truck division. He's since been touted as a potential chief executive for Opel and for Continental, but neither potential was apparently realized.
Mercedes considering GLA-based crossover coupe
Wed, 30 Apr 2014BMW opened a whole Pandora's Box when it introduced the X6 back in 2008. Sure it made little sense, sacrificing all that "utility" for a little more "sport," but it's been a solid success for BMW - especially considering the nominal expense it cost to develop the X6 on top of the X5 on which it's based. Little wonder that, while BMW has already followed up with a smaller version in the form of the X4, other automakers are starting to catch up. And that includes Mercedes-Benz.
The German automaker is preparing to launch a new MLC, based on the M-Class but with a sportier silhouette, and previewed it with the Concept Coupe SUV at the Beijing Motor Show. But that's just the start, according to the latest report from Automotive News Europe.
Mercedes is reportedly considering spinning off an entire line of crossovers more for use on the road than off it. Which may go without saying for most crossovers on the market, but considering the Geländwagen with which Mercedes got its start in SUVs, would mean an even further departure than it has undertaken already.
Brabus 800 Roadster is a power-mad aristocrat
Wed, 06 Mar 2013If we're being completely honest, we haven't exactly been in love with the aesthetics of the sixth-generation Mercedes-Benz SL-Class. It's mostly a front-end issue, with its glowering eagle-eye headlamps and upright, dinner-plate-sized Three-Pointed Star coming across to us as overwrought. That's particularly troublesome for a roadster whose history has of the most elegant designs of all time in its back catalog. Somehow, the new R231 generation's brash visuals seem more at home on this Brabus 800 Roadster to us.
That's probably because the high-dollar German tuner has turned up the wick on the SL's visuals even further, with carbon fiber bodywork, a more aggressive aero kit, matte hood scoop and complex two-finish wheels. It's all-the-way committed to its brashness, in other words - and justifiably so. Anything with 800 horsepower and 1,047 pound-feet of torque has earned the right to look however it wants, right?
Brabus started with the SL65 and its not-exactly-underpowered 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12, and went to town, fitting their own turbocharger and intercooler system, along with a less-restrictive exhaust system with driver-selectable sound levels and new engine electronics. The result is a 3.7-second 0-62 mph time, an electronically limited top whack of 217 mph... and one seriously compromised toupée.
