AFTER PUCHASING AND SELLING MANY OF THESE VEHICLES ON EBAY- I WOULD OFFER THE FOLLOWING ADVICE-"CAVEAT EMPTOR" (LET THE BUYER BEWARE)!MANY OF THESE VEHICLES OFFERED FOR SALE HAVE MISLEADING PICTURES AND DESCRIPTIONS! MANY ARE BEING SOLD BECAUSE THEY NEED REPAIRS (SOMETIMES MAJOR) AND YOU CAN REALLY GET BURNED!!
LOW MILEAGE IS NOT A INDICATION OF THE CONDITION OF THE VENICLE AS MANY LOW MILEAGE VEHICLES HAVE NOT BEEN WELL CARED FOR. HIGHER MILEAGE VEHICLES IN GOOD CONDITION ARE OFTEN GOOD BUYS. THE ENGINES AND TRANSMISSIONS OF THESE "PANZER WAGONS" ARE GOOD FOR 500,000 MILES BEFORE ANY MAJOR SERVICE IS REQUIRED.
IF YOU CANNOT INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND/OR YOU ARE NOT TERRIBLY KNOWLEDGEABLE YOU ARE TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON THE SELLER'S DESCRIPTION AND EBAY RATINGS. BUYING FROM A DEALER CAN OFTEN BE PROBLEMATIC AS THEY TEND TO LEAVE OUT IMPORTANT DETAILS ABOUT THE VEHICLE'S CONDITION.
THEREFORE IT IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO CHECK OUT THE SELLER'S EBAY RATINGS- BOTH THE NUMBER AND THE QUALITY OF THE FEEDBACK.
I AM A RETIRED PHYSICIAN AND MY HOBBY IS REFURBISHING 560 SL'S. ANY NEEDED REPAIRS ARE SUBBED OUT TO MY EXPERIENCED GERMAN MECHANIC. MAJOR UPHOLSTERY WORK IS ALSO SUBBED OUT. I FOCUS ON THOSE RELATIVELY "NIGGLING" ISSUES THAT TEND TO BE QUITE EXPENSIVE WHEN PERFORMED IN A REPAIR SHOP.
ABOUT THE 560SL:
PRODUCTION OF THE "107" BEGAN IN 1972 AND TERMINATED IN 1989 WITH THE 560SL. MERCEDES THUS HAD 17 YEARS TO CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVE THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN DUBBED "THE PANZER WAGON" BECAUSE OF ITS WORKMANSHIP AND DURABILITY.
THE 560 SL WAS PRODUCED FROM 1986-1989 AND IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE MOST DESIREABLE AND COLLECTIBLE. WHEN THE LAST VEHICLE WAS PRODUCED IN 1989 IT SOLD FOR $64,000, SO ONLY THE VERY WEALTHY COULD AFFORD THEM.
BECAUSE OF THEIR EXTREME DURABILITY AND TENDENCY NOT TO RUST THERE ARE STILL PLENTY OF THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AND THEY ARE QUITE AFFORDABLE.
IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF SPORTS CAR HISTORY WRITTEN 50 YEARS FROM NOW THESE LATE MODEL 560'S WILL BE WRITTEN IN AS THE LAST OF THE TRULY ELEGANT TOURING CARS FROM MERCEDES BENZ. THESE CARS ARE SIMPLY STUNNING! WHILE NEW CARS ARE STILL WONDERFUL BY TODAY'S STANDARDS THEY ARE ALL DESTINED TO THE JUNK HEAP WHEN THEIR COMPUTER SOFTWARE PROGRAMS ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTED BY THE FACTORY. THESE SUPERBLY CRAFTED MOTORCARS WILL CONTINUE TO BE ROAD WORTHY DUE TO THEIR PURE MECHANICAL SIMPLICITY. A GUY WITH A SET OF TOOLS AND A SHOP MANUAL WILL ALWAYS BE AROUND TO WORK ON THESE GEMS FROM MB, MUCH THE SAME WAY AS CARS FROM THE 20'S AND 30'S ARE REBUILT AND MAINTAINED SO SIMPLY TODAY. THE PAINT ON THESE CARS FROM THAT ERA WILL OUTLAST THE NEW PAINTS 10 TO 1.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FRO A TRUE FUN WEEKEND CAR WITH COLLECTOR APPEAL ONE OF THESE CARS IS A GREAT WAY TO GO!

Mercedes S-Class Magic Body Control ad is clucking awesome
Tue, 24 Sep 2013This is a new ad from Mercedes-Benz. At no point does it show an automobile. Instead, it stars animals, but not the sort you might normally see in car commercial. This ad is all about chickens. It is bizarre, to say the least, with Diana Ross and the Supremes belting it out in the background, but it all kind of comes together when you realize just what Mercedes is hawking (yeah, pun intended).
It's for the manufacturer's Magic Body Control, found on the new S-Class. The system basically analyzes the road and prepares the suspension accordingly, leading to a ride that is, in the words of our own Chris Paukert "nothing short of spooky." You can read about it in our full review of the 2014 S550. Take a look below for the 53-second spot.

2015 Mexican Grand Prix is a lot like old times
Mon, Nov 2 2015The last time Formula One visited Mexico, in 1992, 26 cars powered by eight engine manufacturers (counting Honda and Mugen-Honda separately) lined up on the grid; it would have been nine engine makers but the Brabham-Judd cars failed to qualify. In 1992 Lewis Hamilton was seven years old, Sebastian Vettel was five, Max Verstappen was still five years away from being born. Two of the current Sky Sports F1 commentary team, Martin Brundle and Johnny Herbert, were drivers. The starting three were Nigel Mansell on pole – 39 years old, this the year he'd win his only World Championship – and Riccardo Patrese both driving Williams-Renault cars, followed by Michael Schumacher in a Benetton-Ford. Only 13 of the 26 starters would finish. The circuit is has been reworked to today's safer standards, the track surface is brand new and slippery, but the atmosphere and packed grandstands haven't changed. Nico Rosberg was another point of consistency, scoring pole position for the fourth race in a row to beat his now-World-Champion teammate Hamilton by almost two-tenths of a second. The last time Rosberg turned pole position into a victory? The Spanish Grand Prix back in May. Vettel locked up third for Ferrari, followed by the Infiniti Red Bull Racing duo of Daniil Kvyat and Daniel Ricciardo. Williams went two-up as well, Valtteri Bottas in sixth ahead of Felipe Massa in seventh. Max Verstappen turned in a great late lap to reserve eighth place, Sergio Perez did all he could in front of his home crowd to get ninth, teammate Nico Hulkenberg the caboose in the top ten. In that 1992 race the first three on the grid finished the race in the same order after Mansell dominated, and it was almost the same in 2015. If Rosberg had driven the whole season like he drove today the Driver's World Championship would still be up for grabs. He got a great start and held his line through the first corner, coming out ahead of Hamilton through the initial kinks, pulling away as soon as he got to the straight. Hamilton was never more than a few seconds behind, but every time the Brit inched closer the German found a few more tenths to keep his distance. The field got bunched up when the Safety Car came out on Lap 53 after Vettel spun and got stuck in the barriers, but Rosberg handled the restart perfectly. Both drivers made small mistakes in the last few laps while driving on the edge, but Rosberg earned a strong victory, crossing the line two seconds ahead of his teammate.
