Greetings! For sale is my 1997 Mercedes Benz 320SL. It is my everyday driver and I would not hesitate to take it across the country if needs be. The vehicle does have a rebuilt title, as apparently it did have theft history in New York before my ownership. I purchased the vehicle in West Palm Beach, Florida in October of 2012. The odometer shows just under 145k miles. This is a very clean car that provides solid transportation. I keep the car in a garage and it gets washed weekly. Please do not expect a showroom, museum quality vehicle, as it is not a perfect vehicle and has been rebuilt.
In my photos, I have tried my best to capture the flaws. If you have no intentions of buying the car or if you are trying to raise money to buying the car or if you have half of the money or if you know you are not going to be able to get on the internet within 48 hours of auction end, please do not bid on this vehicle, as it is not the car for you. I have already had two individuals promise me that the wanted the car and either did not have the money or I heard the story that their wife wouldn't allow them to get the car. Please spare me the drama. Now for the car: The paint is quite shiny and the car does look good for it's age. It was repainted before I owned the vehicle. The flawed area are the portion of the car on the passengers side that separates the front window from the passenger window. The paint is stating to fade, however, I do have extra paint that was matched to the color of the car. Also the lower valance on the passenger side or the lower portion of the front bumper.....when I purchased the car their was a piece that was missing and the lower portion was cracked. I bought the piece from Mercedes and that lower portion has been sprayed. You will find many cars of this vintage with that portion of the bumper missing or sometimes cracked in the same place. The driver seat has been recovered and looks like new. The passenger seat has no holes or rips in the seat, however their is a slight split in the back portion of the seat as captured in the pictures.The portion of that you sit on is wrinkling but has no holes or tears. There are no holes in the carpet. The portion of the car mat on the drivers side where the Mercedes stamp has some wear. The convertible top is near perfect and has no rips, cuts or holes. The top goes up and down smoothly. I do not have the hardtop for the car. I have a spare rim, but not a spare tire. The air condition and heat work fine. Their is an after-market Kenwood radio in the vehicle. 8 times out of 10, it plays cd's. At times, you have to to push the discs in four of five times to get them to play. The radio works fine. The antenna cover needs replacing. On the drivers door, at times the lock will not respond to the remote, but it generally does on the passenger side. I believe this is due to when the car was stolen, as the driver door panel is a little loose and I believe a couple of clips need replacing. I captured this in the pics, as well. The car starts, runs, drives, shifts, and stops fine. If you are familiar with the R129, you will know that Mercedes has a mechanism to prevent you from trashing the transmission. You do not want to turn the car on and drive off immediately. Allow the unit to warm for a minute and a half to two minutes before driving. There are no cooling issues with the vehicle. When it comes time to change the oil, I purchase Mobil One synthetic oil and a Fram oil filter to facilitate the fluid change. I do not know who the winning bidder will be, but you should not have any problems driving the car home if you drive or fly into the metro Atlanta area to acquire the vehicle. Again, if you are not serious, please do not waste my time. If you have zero feedback or negative feedback that indicates that you do not pay, I will kick back your bid. The vehicle is for sale locally, and I reserve the right to end the auction early. I do appreciate you viewing my listing. |

Mercedes-Benz S-Class presentation leaked, debuting in May
Fri, 22 Feb 2013WorldCarFans was reportedly sent what looks like a dealer presentation on the coming V222 series 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class. There have been hints for years as to the kinds of technology the world's best-selling large luxury sedan will contain, and it appears those hints had some foundation. To be shown in Germany on May 15 before a launch window that runs from September to November this year, the evolutionary design will be built of aluminum and steel, using that lighter material for the front end, roof and "detached body parts."
Among the new options buyers will be able to choose are the Rear Seat Package with rear seatbelt airbags and active buckles that extend, a Warmth and Comfort Package with heated seats front and back, heated armrests and side panels, and power rear seats with active ventilation and memory function. There's a chauffeur seating option that comes with 10-way adjustable rear seats, an extendable footrest and folding tables in the front seatbacks.
Blatant technology will be on display via two 12.3-inch screens, one for the dash cluster and one for the COMAND infotainment screen on the instrument panel. The third generation of Nightview Assist Plus will be able to detect animals as well as humans, and the next generation of Surround View will provide high-res views all around the car. A touchpad and a color head-up display will arrive in 2015. It will be the first Mercedes-Benz to utilize LED lighting everywhere, inside and outside the car.
As US exports top 2 million, is America becoming the world's source of cheap cars?
Mon, Feb 9 2015North American auto production is booming with 2014 figures just shy of the of the 17.3-million vehicle record set in 2000. With more models being built on the continent, even more are being shipped overseas. Factories in the US exported 2.1 million cars last year – the highest number ever. About half of those went to Canada and Mexico, but more than ever have been heading to places like the Middle East and China. The upswing comes in part from from after-effects from the Great Recession, according to The Wall Street Journal. With a weak dollar and lower production costs after the financial crisis, building vehicles in the US was relatively cheaper and more competitive in the world. At the same time buyers around the world are going crazy for crossovers. According to the WSJ, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are already exporting the majority of their US production of these models overseas. Both automakers have also announced investments to expand production further here to send more vehicles abroad. Even Honda has been shipping more models out of the country than it imported here. There is a concern this international strength could start slowing because the dollar is strengthening against other currencies, though it's too early to know what the actual effect of this could be, according to the WSJ. "Of course, we closely watch currency exchange, but we don't make changes in production or allocation based on temporary fluctuations in the exchange rate," Ford North American boss Joe Hinrichs told the newspaper.

Mercedes-Benz concept car takes driverless vehicles into the future
Mon, Mar 23 2015A new Mercedes-Benz concept car is looking to give Google a driverless run for their money. Unlike the cars we drive today, the Mercedes-Benz F015 will drive us -- acting as a personal chauffeur so passengers can relax or worry about important things like work, while the automated vehicle worries about the roads. We have to admit, it looks significantly more comfortable than Google's experimental driverless cars. Keeping up with their luxury brand, the car is more of a lounge. Front seats can rotate so passengers can face each other, a touch screen coffee table extends into the middle of the space with just a tap, and touch screen monitors are built into the doors. In case you want to drive the old fashioned way, just swivel around and use the steering wheel and fold away pedals. On the outside, the vehicle communicates with pedestrians and other drivers using lights and vocal cues. If a pedestrian crosses the street in front of the car, a laser will project a crosswalk and a voice will let them know it's safe to cross. The F015 is really just a concept car and will likely never be sold on a car lot, but it may force Google to step up their game. Their current driverless car prototypes look like something out of a retro cartoon, whereas Mercedes' looks like it's straight out of the future. Weird Car News Mercedes-Benz driverless car
