1992 Mercedes 500sl Beautiful Condition, Perfect Color Combo, Wow! on 2040-cars
Palm Beach, Florida, United States
|
Here is a great chance to buy a well maintained 1992 500SL. These cars are becoming harder and harder to find in good condition because people don't want to spend the money to fix them properly. The R129 SL built from 1990-2002 is by far the best built and most usuable, comfortable and safe SL ever built. Unlike the wonderful R107 SL which it replaced, the R129 is modern and fresh and can be used as an everyday driver, not just a toy like the R107. The seats are very comfortable and incoporate the seatbelts into the seat. In the unlikely event of a rollever an rollbar automatically deploys if it detects a wheel that has left the pavement, making this car very safe, and in a rollover, a survivable accident. The rollbar can be electrically raised as well. The best feature about the R129 is that it was the first Mercedes SL to have an automatic top. The previous R107 was manual and people rarely bothered to put them down because of this. The R129 is well insulated and at highway speeds is still quiet. Every R129 SL has 10 hydraulic cylinders that work the top and one that works the Rollbar. Hydraulics at somepoint in their lifespan will leak. And they all do and then need to be rebuilt or replaced. The parts alone are around $3500 plus labor. Everyone of the cylinders has been professionally rebuilt with new seals and the entire hyraulic system flushed with new fluid. So the top works flawlessly and you can expect many years of use from this top with no problems. Another weakness on R129 SL's are plastic trim pieces that break, as in rearview mirrors which are electric and dome lights and they can cost a fortune. Hence people letting these cars deteriorate and eventually junked. The 500SL is the most reliable of all the R129. It has a reliable 4 spd automatic transmission. The 300SL 6 cyl cars came with a 5spd manual or 5spd automatic and the automatics were extremely unlreliable and difficult to rebuild or even at this point to find a replacement. They were also prone to expensive headgasket leaks. The 600SL was a complete overkill. Beautifully crafted on the interior with leather on every surface, but cursed with a adaptive suspension which lowered or raised the car depending on speed. Usually failing and ripping the front bumper when parked. All Mercedes built between 1993-to early 1996 have wiring harness problems, and must be checked or you will be in for a devasting repair bill. When it comes to a R129 its best to do your research or you can have a car that can go from love to hate quickly. This car has a beautiful interior with soft leather, a VDO CD radio and and aux imput for plugging it in to your phone for music. The car has four brand new tires and is ready to go anywhere. Please keep in mind this car is 22 years old. It is not new do not expect a car at this price to be new. I have tried to describe it as accurately as possible, I encourage anyone to come and test drive and you will instantly fall in love. Please call Michael with any further questions.

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition
Wed, 26 Dec 2012Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
Wards names its 2015 10 Best Interiors list
Fri, Apr 17 2015Wards Automotive has named the winners of its 10 Best Interior awards, covering a wide but affordable array of vehicles. Where last year's list contained two six-figure vehicles, including the $372,800 Rolls-Royce Wraith, this year's is, well, a whole lot more reasonable. The publication lists the Mercedes-Benz C400 at $65,000 (which seems off), making it the most expensive vehicle here. That said, we'd argue that the entire C-Class line deserves to make this year's list, owing to its varied and high-quality selection of materials. The other vehicle to break the $60,000 mark, meanwhile, is the $60,675 Ford F-150 King Ranch, which has 327,000 pounds of leather lining its interior. Only one other German car, the BMW i3, and one other pickup truck, the GMC Canyon, managed to make this year's list. Here's the full list of this year's winners: 2014 BMW i3 ($52,550) 2015 Chrysler 300C Platinum ($51,175) 2015 Ford F-150 King Ranch ($60,675) 2015 GMC Canyon SLT ($40,465) 2015 Honda Fit EX-L ($21,590) 2015 Jeep Renegade Limited ($33,205) 2015 Kia Sedona SXL ($43,295) 2016 Mazda6 Grand Touring ($33,395) 2015 Mercedes C400 ($65,000) 2015 Nissan Murano SL ($41,905) See what we mean about the mainstream vehicles? Not only is there a distinct lack of luxury brands, it's the price of some of the vehicles that surprise. The Honda Fit, Jeep Renegade and Mazda6 are very reasonably priced, especially when you compare Wards price with the starting price. The Renegade Limited starts at less than $25,000, the Mazda at less than $22K and the Fit at under $16,000. Head over to Wards for a more detailed explanation of why each vehicle won.

Mercedes GLE Coupe spotted in almost undisguised AMG form
Wed, Dec 3 2014Say what you will regarding the form and function of the BMW X6, the bottom line is that BMW essentially pioneered a winning formula, sloping a roofline onto an existing model to make a new and highly lucrative) derivative. No wonder rival Mercedes-Benz is clamoring to follow suit with models like the one pictured here. Under development for some time now, the model originally slated to be called the MLC and now expected to be dubbed GLE Coupe looks about ready for its big debut. It's based on the replacement for the current M-Class (to be rechristened GLE) but with that vital sloping roofline to make it more rakish. This particular example seems to be an AMG version and was spied with only minimal camouflage around the front and rear bumpers while undergoing testing in snowy climes. That could be the full-on GLE63 AMG performance variant, or the new AMG Sport model destined to debut at the Detroit Auto Show next month. If it's the former, expect it to be packing the same 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 as the new Mercedes-AMG GT, where it produces either 462 horsepower or 510 depending on spec - ready to take on the X6 M and whatever Audi is preparing to throw at it.
