For personal reasons and having nothing to do with the serviceability of this car; it is time to sell my SL 320 Mercedes; two-seater roadster.  This  luxury roadster is both elegant and comfortable.

The made date is 11/93 on the plate and it will soon be a classic car. To the best of my knowledge it has all Mercedes parts as I have been told by last owner with the exception of the battery that I changed with a non-Mercedes battery (I have since use a trickle charger since I only drive it on nice days; lesson learned from not plugging it in thru a 2nd winter previous Mercedes battery went dead).

I am the fourth owner (#3 prefix on my title) and for the last 4+ years the car has been garage kept and only driven on bluebird days. This car is in exceptionally nice condition and is obviously noticed everywhere it is driven.  I looked long and hard for a future classic in impeccable condition for over a year to as close to show room condition as possible. I do not see any evidence that this car has ever been smoked in but who would know for sure what a first owners habits were.  The ash tray and lighter are completely clean.

I have only added about 2,000 miles to the odometer since I have purchased it. Current odometer reading is less than 106,000 miles. Here are some things that you may find of interest/important or at least I would/did.  And, by all means ask any additional questions you may have.

I had this car, CARFAX’ed before I purchased it in September 2009. The report states that there are no previous or derogatory issues with this car.  That is no, airbag deployment, odometer rollback, accident damage, manufacturer recalls, salvage, water damage or not actual mileage.  Also no damage, odometer or lemon history according to the CARFAX.  And, I will make this report available to you. Accordingly, this car has a clean history and I have a clear title.

And, to the best of my knowledge; the car has all its original paint and has had no body repairs. The car has a few minor scratches here and there but no major scratches and no pushed in indentations in the body. I purchased it with a small crack in the lower plastic front wind flare (as best as I can describe) (hard to notice until you get on your hands and knees to clean the car).  What you see in the pictures is a car that has been washed and waxed but never detailed since I have owned it.

The tires 225/55VR16s were replaced at 99,522 miles Sept. 2008 by the last owner. 

The tires therefore have less than 7,000 miles on them.

I had the tires rebalanced and the car realigned when I first purchased it at 103,000 miles, less than 2,000 miles ago. Oct 2009

I had all the belts and balancer replaced at 104,451 miles, May 2010 Mercedes parts.

I have all the synthetic oil, and oil filter replaced and all fluid levels checked at 104,841 miles, Nov 3, 2010

I have all the transmission fluid and filter replaced at 104,854 miles, Nov 10, 2010 Mercedes parts.

New battery 105,070 miles, Sept 2011 

Original dealer’s manual in pristine condition & roadside tool kit with car.  And maintenance documents above will be made available.

The trunk carpeting looks virtually brand new (no stains what so ever).  I have not cleaned the interior carpeting in 4 years so you may find some dirty spots.   The engine compartment is clean, however not so clean I would be eating off it.  All hoses are solid and pliable, (not dry rotted at all) as they should.  I have never washed the engine compartment, what you see is how I purchased it with 4 years of dust.

The previous owner told me that he garage kept the car and I have no cause to doubt him.  History shows that he purchased the car in May of 2007 at 93,600 miles therefore registering a mere 10,000 miles in the three years that he owned the car. The previous owner also told me that he replaced the rag top and I can tell you that it looks not only brand-new but also works perfectly!

Right after the pictures were taken the car was driven and it runs like a fine Swiss watch.  It has excellent+ acceleration and tremendous stopping power from all speeds. It stops straight and the alignment is fine. The car idles and drives quietly and smoothly without any vibrations.  From mypersonal perspective, you can feel the weight of the car (4300lbs) and it is amazing its road hugging ability.   Basically this car has been a child to me and I have never parked it and left it out of my sight. The original MSRP on this car was about $85,200.

I would prefer that any future owner come out by appointment and look at this car and I will take you for a ride so you can see for yourself what you were buying. We can test all features to your satisfaction together.  This car is being sold in as is condition.

If you are not local be advised that I will not take on the responsibility of shipping this car anywhere.  Nor will I be responsible for the condition of the car upon arrival at your destination. Meaning if you are not satisfied for any reason or if you say something was not disclosed that should have been or that now something is not working that was said to work or you misinterpreted something here it will not be a basis for terminating the sale or adjusting the sale price.  Please make all efforts to come see this car for yourself before placing a bid!

I will accept Paypal for the deposit of $250, but the balance is due upon pick up in cash or money order.

I have over 100 additional pictures of this car and I can e-mail them to you at your request.  I can also take some additional pictures of specific areas that are of interest to you.   One last thing please do not try to sell me that this car is worth XX dollars based upon some book appraisal.  Just try to find a 1994 SL 320 alone in this condition (Paint, body, mileage), and without some sort of restoration.   Not to mention having a solid engine, transmission, great brakes and tires.  Thank you for your patience read and consideration.

Daimler could sell off Li-Tec's EV battery business

Sat, May 24 2014

Five-plus years may have been about enough time for Daimler AG to know whether it wanted to be in the battery-pack production business. The Mercedes-Benz parent may stop making electric-vehicle batteries and ultimately sell its Li-Tec battery-cell factory in Germany within two years, according to Bloomberg News which cites Manager Magazin. The beneficiary may be LG Electronics, which would likely take over battery-production duties for models such as Daimler's Smart ED battery-electric vehicle. Daimler is taking a number of steps to improve profit margins, which are thinner than those of its German rivals like BMW. Like its German competition, the company has lagged behind companies such as Nissan, Renault and Tesla Motors in terms of aggressively pursuing growth via plug-in vehicle sales. Daimler spokesman Hendrik Sackmann, in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen, would only say that the battery business is growing "rapidly" and that Li-Tec is developing "according to our plans." "Regarding Li-Tec, we are working on a concept for the future line-up," he added. "The battery cells for the successor of the Smart electric drive won't be provided by Li-Tec." Daimler in 2008 launched Li-Tec as a joint venture with Evonik, though Daimler recently put plans together to buy out Evonik's 50-percent share of Li-Tec, Bloomberg reported last month. Evonik's role was manufacturing electrodes and separators for batteries. Daimler also said last fall that it was looking to cooperate more extensively with Tesla in regards to electric vehicle development. The two companies first said they'd work together in 2009.

Three automotive tech trends to watch in 2018 and beyond

Thu, Dec 28 2017

Every year, technology plays a bigger and bigger role in the auto industry. To put things in perspective, 10 years ago iPod integration and Bluetooth were cutting-edge in-car innovations, and smartphones and apps weren't yet a thing since the first iPhone was only about six months old. And I can't recall anyone talking about autonomous cars. Compare that to today, with mainstream coverage of the auto industry dominated by autonomous technology, along with electrification and almost every move made by Tesla. These three topics were the most significant trends of car tech in 2017 and I believe they will continue to shape the auto industry in 2018 and beyond. Let's examine them. Full Autonomy Gets Closer to Reality While there were many developments this year that indicate we're inching closer to fully autonomous vehicles, I was behind the wheel for hours to witness one of them. In October I had the chance to test Cadillac Super Cruise on a 700-mile, 11-hour drive from Dallas to Santa Fe – and had my hands on the wheel for maybe 45 minutes max throughout the entire trip. Super Cruise is far from making the Cadillac CT6 or any GM vehicle fully autonomous, and has limitations such as functioning only on pre-mapped main highways. While it simply adds a layer of lane centering to adaptive cruise control, the technology will go a long way in making mainstream drivers more comfortable with letting machines take over. On a separate front, GM is pushing ahead with fully autonomous vehicles and announced last month that it plans to launch of fleets of self-driving robo-taxis in several urban areas in 2019. While most automakers are also in the race to make autonomous cars a reality, GM's turbocharging of its efforts appeared to be in response to Waymo, which announced just weeks earlier that its Early Rider Program in the Phoenix area would go completely driverless. The Early Rider Program launched last April, offering the public a chance to ride in Waymo's autonomous Chrysler Pacifica minivans. In this new phase of testing, Waymo is using its own employees as guinea pigs instead of the public while the vehicles operate without a human behind the wheel, and takes another giant step forward for fully autonomous driving.

2017 Infiniti QX30 First Drive

Mon, Jul 18 2016

If you've heard anything before about this car, the 2017 Infiniti QX30, it probably has to do with its corporate parents, an odd couple if there ever was one. Renault-Nissan, Infiniti's corporate overlords, inked a deal with Mercedes-Benz to share some mechanical components and platforms. That deal put a new, very modern 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four under the hood of the Q50 and was the genesis of what you're looking at here. What are you looking at here? We drove this car in 2015, when it was called a Q30 – originally it was going to be the lower-riding counterpart to the slightly jacked-up QX30. Then Infiniti decided it'd make more sense to sell all variants of this vehicle as CUVs in the US, so we have three slightly different flavors of the QX30 instead. There's the normal version; the Sport, which is 0.6 inches lower; and the AWD, which is 1.2 inches higher. Infiniti brought us to Seattle to sample the Sport and AWD flavors on a semi-circumnavigation of the Puget Sound. It didn't rain a drop, thanks for asking, and instead was sunny and mild the whole time. It's easy to make the QX30 sound more confusing than it actually is. This is essentially a Mercedes-Benz GLA250 with full exterior styling and partial interior design by Infiniti, built in the UK alongside several other Nissans. The powertrain and chassis, including the optional AWD system, were all "co-developed" with partner Daimler, with final calibration and tuning by Infiniti engineers. Here's another way of explaining it: Infiniti needs an entry-level car to appeal to new premium car shoppers, and the QX30 is the prescription. It's a hatchback that's been given the mildest of CUV treatments and a lot of marketing descriptors. That's because hatchbacks are sales death in America. In Europe, they'll see right through the CUV posturing and realize it's just a hatchback offered in three different suspension heights. Whatever you call it to make it palatable to Americans, it's a useful little vehicle. This car is mechanically identical to the Q30, so there are some things we can gloss over. Both are powered by a transverse-mounted 2.0-liter Mercedes inline-four. It's a turbocharged, direct-injection gasoline engine, and it sure feels like one. It sounds like a rock tumbler full of nickels and runs out of breath at about 5,000 rpm. All versions make 208 hp at 5,500 rpm and 258 lb-ft of torque between 1,200 and 4,400 rpm – more than adequate but less than thrilling.
