I'm selling my 1999 SL Mercedes convertible. I got a ride in the car when it was brand new! My best friend purchased the car new for his wife in 1999. They sold me the car in 2004 or 05 with around 10,000 miles on it. His wife hated it because it has such a sporty ride (AMG suspension and wheels). It doesn't float, this car grabs the road and has amazing power. I sold the car a couple years later to my lady friend in San Dimas, CA with approximately 14,000 miles on it. She had her hip replaced last year, and it was difficult for her to get in and out of it, so I bought it back in March with approximately 34,000 miles on it. I have enjoyed having it back, but I just bought a new car this week and need the room.
I have the original hard top, which is also in perfect condition and stored in my garage on a stand made to hold these hard tops. I will include it in the sale as well. I am happy to send photos of it to anyone that requests them. Sorry, I couldn't post a photo of the car with the hard top, but it takes 2 people to put it on. I also have the factory keys, 2 remote keys and a valet key.
The car has NEVER been smoked in, always garaged and hand washed. It has also only had Mobile 1 synthetic oil it's whole life.
The brakes are fairly recent, as are the tires. I recently had the mass air flow sensor replaced, and it has a new gas cap too. The mechanic that worked on it said the engine is perfect as are the motor mounts. My friend in California also had the AC compressor replaced. The AC works awesome, as does everything on this car.
There are no major cosmetic issues. There is some normal wear and tear on a car of its age including: 2 small paint chips around the area where the gas goes in, there is a crack and a scrape to the underside of the front bumper - caused from pulling too close to those concrete things in a parking lot and then backing out. I though about having that repaired, but frankly you cannot see it unless you're on the ground looking up. The floor mats are fairly new, dark brown color so they show no dirt. The leather is soft and supple, showing little if any sign of wear. The car is in overall fabulous condition. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with it. This would be awesome for someone back east, as the car has never been driven in snow or ice and not even purposely in the rain! Although, I will admit it's been rained on twice that I know of.
I think I've covered everything, but if you have any questions, I'll be happy to assist in any way I can.
As far as shipping goes, the buyer will be responsible and I will cooperate and assist moving company. OR you can pick it up yourself if you like. I would be happy to pick you up at the airport and you can drive it home.
Serious buyers, please. Thank you. Certified funds only. PayPal deposit required.

Daimler employees can set email to auto-delete during vacation
Mon, 18 Aug 2014The Internet has shrunk the world in terms of the way people communicate by making it possible to send an email from Oslo and have it show up in Cleveland almost immediately. But that instant contact has wrecked the work/life balance for many. They get home from a long day at the office, yet they can never fully put their feet up and relax because another hour or more of checking and replying to emails awaits. However, German automotive giant Daimler is putting an end to that churn, at least while its employees are on vacation.
About 100,000 Daimler employees in Germany are eligible to opt-in to a new program called Mail on Holiday, according to The Atlantic. When the workers go on vacation, they can switch it on, and the service auto-deletes all of their incoming email. "Our employees should relax on holiday and not read work-related emails," said Wilfried Porth, board member for human resources, to The Financial Times as cited by The Atlantic.
Mail on Holiday puts a thumb on the scale of work/life balance in favor of a little more free time. The system means that Daimler employees shouldn't even be tempted to check their email on vacation because there's nothing there - and it also avoids them coming back from a relaxing holiday only to find a mailbox packed full of hundreds of unread messages. These days, people are absolutely obsessed with their work, often to the detriment of their health, not to mention spending time with their families and friends. On one hand, Mail on Holiday sounds like the sort of vacation breakthrough we'd need to truly unplug and unwind, but on the other hand, it makes our skin crawl just thinking about the lack of communication.

Rain prolongs the Championship battle | 2016 Brazilian Grand Prix recap
Mon, Nov 14 2016Rain and an old-school circuit are the antidotes to Formula 1's constricting technical regulations and Tilke tracks. At Brazil's Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace – otherwise known as Interlagos – rain Saturday night and on race day washed away everyone's careful plans, except for those of the man at the front of the pack. Lewis Hamilton put his Mercedes-AMG Petronas ahead of the field throughout the weekend. On Sunday, a storm-delayed start behind the Safety Car assured Hamilton of a clean path to the lead and a clear track. The Briton didn't waste it, pulling out a gap on teammate Nico Rosberg behind, and Rosberg appeared to have no interest in going hard after Hamilton. Safety Cars and red flags kept resetting the gap to zero, though. After the Mercedes-AMG GT S led the first seven laps, it emerged again on Lap 13 for another six laps when Marcus Ericsson crashed his Sauber. Seconds after racing resumed, Kimi Raikkonen aquaplaned his Ferrari into the wall on the front straight. That caused the first red flag, leading to another eight-lap Safety Car interval, then a second red flag stoppage due to conditions on Lap 28, then three more Safety Car laps, and then, finally, racing again. Hamilton never surrendered his lead. The Briton changed tires once during a stoppage, and drove fast enough to cover the full race distance despite the intermissions. Afterward, he said "it was a very easy race." Rosberg had it harder, defending against the preternatural Max Verstappen in third. Barring misfortune it's already clear the Red Bull pilot has at least one Driver's Championship in his career future. In Brazil the young Dutchman drove like he's worthy of the hardware right now. After Verstappen passed Rosberg for second on Lap 34, the Red Bull driver pitted for intermediate tires on Lap 44 – a huge gamble in the conditions – coming back out in fifth. That tire wager failed, giving Rosberg a safe position in second when Verstappen had to pit for extreme wets on Lap 54 of 71. The teenager re-emerged in 16th. Over the race's final 17 laps Verstappen passed 13 drivers at six different places on track. He ran it close-but-clean a couple of times, especially when getting around Sebastian Vettel and Sergio Perez, but he was simply untouchable. Not only did the Dutchman score an amazing third place, he put in what could be the drive of the season.
