Mike's Place is proud to offer this 2003 Mercedes SL500 Convertible. The MSRP on this vehicle was over $100,000. Here is your chance to own this car for a lot less. This SL has many great features such as a power convertible top, heated and cooled seats, wood trimmed interior, and more. The vehicle history report shows the mileage as accurate with absolutely no accidents reported. The title is 100% clean. This is a 2 owner Calif. car and has spent its entire life here in Sunny Southern California ............. No Rust! Many vehicles from other states experience a rather hard life dealing with harsh weather conditions. Rain, snow, hail, salt roads and cold weather cause all kinds of issues both mechanically and cosmetically. So a California car may appeal to you.


"Launch Edition"



Only 500 "Launch Editions" were produced by MBZ. Launch editions came in only 1 color, a pearl essence Silver/Green which turns different colors depending on the angle at which you look at it, truly beautiful, you just need to come see for yourself! A special Charcoal Leather interior with an ultra suede headliner and other special features to the interior including a wood steering wheel. Leather seats and shifter are embellished with Mercedes "Designo Logos".


High $$$ 20" Mod-Tech Alloys. 20"X10" with 275/30/zr20's on the rear, and 20"X8.5" with 245/35/zr20's up front. Nearly brand new matching Achilles Sport tires at all 4 corners!




The interior is in very good condition. The leather seats look very good. Both power seats function properly. The seats are heated and cooled. The dash is in great condition. All the gauges seem to function properly and the digital display looks great. There are no check engine light or warning lights on of any kind. All the wood trim along the dash and door panels look very good. I tried all the buttons located on the dash and door panels and everything seemed to function properly. The air conditioning blows ice cold and the heater works. The door panels are all in great shape and all the power windows work properly. The power convertible top functions properly. The radio works and the speakers sound great. There is a CD changer located in storage compartment behind driver's seat.



Unlike the 2002 and prior SL-Class, which had a fabric top, the 2003 version is equipped with a sophisticated retractable hardtop. At the push of a button, the car can transform from a roadster to a watertight coupe in just 16 seconds, and it ingeniously folds into a smaller package, stealing far less trunk room.

 

 
The exterior of the car is pearl essence Silver/Green. The body is straight and dent free. This is a rust free California car. The paint looks really nice and glossy. It has 20" Alloy wheels. Please check out the pictures to see condition of rims and tires. All the glass is in good shape with no visible cracks.

 
 
The engine runs strong with no smoke or funny noises and the transmission shifts nicely. Has brand new Mercedes battery. This would make a great daily driver. Please look at all the pictures and keep in mind that this is not a brand new car. Normal wear is to be expected.

    Recharge Wrap-up: 2015 Honda CR-Z now on sale, Daimler and Linde building hydrogen stations in Germany

    Fri, Oct 10 2014

    The 2015 Honda CR-Z hybrid is now available at dealerships, for slightly more money. The CR-Z starts at an MSRP of $20,145 (plus $790 in destination charges), up from the $19,995 price of the 2014 model. For those who don't want to row their own gears with the six-speed manual transmission, the available CVT adds an extra $650 to the price, but also offers better fuel economy, especially in the city. The manual-equipped CR-Z gets 31 mpg city/38 highway/34 combined, while the CVT version is rated at 36/39/37 mpg. The 1.5-liter engine and electric motor provide a combined peak 130 horsepower. The manual CR-Z offers 140 pound-feet of torque, with the CVT version providing 127 pound-feet. Customers can also soup up their new CR-Z with upgrades (including a supercharger) from Honda Performance Development. Learn more in the press release below. Daimler and Linde are teaming up to build hydrogen fueling stations in Germany. The automaker and gases and engineering company, with the help of a few oil and gas companies, plan to install 13 new stations by the end of 2015. The installations precede a push by Daimler to get more fuel cell vehicles on the road. "From 2017, we are planning to bring competitively priced fuel-cell vehicles to market," says Daimler's Herbert Kohler. "So now is the time to build a nationwide fuelling infrastructure." Linde will supply the stations with fully renewable hydrogen. Read more in the press release below. In 1899, an EV set a world landspeed record, and Wired has revisited the story with a nice look back at the "La Jamais Contente" and its driver, Belgian engineer Camille Jenatzy. Jenatzy built an electric car to race in a hillclimb, which he won while clocking a top speed of 17 miles per hour (measured the old-timey way - without radar guns). Just a few weeks later, another man set a landspeed record of 32 miles per hour, beginning a back-and-forth series of setting new records. Then, on April 29, 1899, "The Red Devil," as Jenatzy became known as, surpassed 100 kph (62 mph) when his torpedo-shaped electric car set a record of 65.8 mph. It was powered by two 25-kilowatt electric motors. Read the whole story over at Wired.

    Mercedes-Benz to build new ML coupe-crossover in Alabama in 2015

    Fri, 05 Sep 2014

    Mercedes-Benz will expand its factory in Tuscaloosa, AL, to build the ML Coupe, a new crossover that will join its lineup in 2015. Mercedes will also ramp up production to build facelifted versions of the M-Class and GL-Class SUVs, lifting the factory's total production capacity to about 300,000 units annually in 2015. It made 185,000 vehicles in 2013. In addition to SUVs, the Tuscaloosa site also makes the C-Class sedan.
    The plans come as part of Mercedes' strategy to capitalize on Americans' increasing demands for SUVs. The company said the SUV market was up 12 percent in first half of 2014, and expects it to grow at twice the rate of the regular market in 2015 and 2016.
    "We are seeing climbing demand for SUVs." - Dieter Zetsche

    Autoblog Minute: New Civic, FCA UAW Agreement, Frankfurt

    Fri, Sep 18 2015

    FCA reaches a tentative agreement with the UAW, Honda reveals the all-new 2016 Civic, and the Frankfurt Motor Show dazzles us again. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the Weekly Recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] FCA reaches a tentative agreement with the UAW, Honda reveals the all-new 2016 Civic, and the Frankfurt Motor Show dazzles us again. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. FCA reached a tentative labor agreement with UAW leadership. The major focus of the new deal reportedly includes: the eventual elimination of the two-tier pay scale [00:00:30] and pooling worker health care. Now that a leadership agreement is in place, the deal will be sent to FCA's rank-and-file. FCA has about 36,000 hourly employees. We got a first look at the interior and exterior of the 10th-generation Civic. Honda expects the new sedan to dominate the C-segment when it hits dealerships later this fall. Civic coupe, five-door hatchback, Si and Type R will all come later. The 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show is in the books and there was a lot of news to get excited about. [00:01:00] Porsche introduced a fully electric concept car in the Mission E. If they make this car, Porsche could give Tesla nightmares. We also saw SUVs from Jaguar and Bentley. There were two beautiful Italian convertibles from Ferrari and Lamborghini. Meanwhile, Mercedes introduced a concept of their own in the IAA - a vehicle that experiments with adaptable aerodynamics. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday. Plus we'll have some added insight on General Motors' deal to [00:01:30] avoid federal prosecution.
