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 may end Tesla supply agreement for B-Class Electric Drive

Mon, Aug 24 2015

The Mercedes-Benz B Class Electric Drive has only been rolling off the production line for 17 months, each one equipped with a battery pack and drivetrain from Tesla Motors, but already there is talk of big upcoming changes. According to a report from the German publication Auto Motor und Sport, the next-generation version of this model will see an end to the Tesla-supplied tech and a hugely improved range. Currently, the electric sedan gets an EPA-rated 87 miles of range, using 28 kWhs of its 36-kWh battery, though its now-standard "Range Plus" package takes advantage of more of the pack, stretching that driving to 100 miles or so. It may take a year or several – the model just had a refresh – but expect those distance digits to double. The rumored range is said to be 500 km (310.7 miles), but since that would likely be calculated using the European drive cycle, expect something significantly lower stateside; say 220-ish official miles. This would be in keeping with expectations from a number of battery-powered competitors in the 2017-2018 time frame. It is unknown if this supposed next-gen B Class Electric Drive is in any way related to the rumored "Ecoluxe" program. The Tesla/Daimler relationship stretches back to 2009, when the Stuttgart-based outfit made a significant investment in the California automaker, quite possibly saving it from extinction in the process. We have reached out Mercedes-Benz about this report, but as of this writing, have not had a reply. We will update this post when we hear back.

2015 Mercedes-Benz S550 PHEV offers the best of both worlds it's ready to conquer

Thu, Nov 20 2014

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class just keeps growing – both in terms of dimensions and in terms of variants. Nevermind the S-Class Coupe for a moment and focus only on the sedan: in North America alone, you can get the big Benz in S550, S600, S63 and S65 spec, and at the Los Angeles Auto Show this year, Daimler has rolled out the new Maybach version as well. But if it's a more environmentally friendly way to woosh around town in serene luxury that you're after, you'll want to look at the new S550 Plug-In Hybrid. Joining Daimler's growing range of battery-powered models alongside the E400 Hybrid, B-Class Electric Drive and Smart ED (the latter soon to be replaced by an all-new version), the S550 PHEV is the German automaker's first plug-in hybrid. It was first announced over a year ago and made its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, but now the US-spec car is making its North American debut in LA. Promising "the performance of a V8 and the fuel consumption of a compact model," the S550 PHEV pairs a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 to an 80-kW electric motor, the S550 PHEV packs a combined 436 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque to reach 62 in just 5.2 seconds, top out at 130 miles per hour or drive up to 20 miles on electric mode alone. On the European combined cycle, it'll return an impressive 84 miles per gallon, all the while never skimping on the luxury. Scope it out in our gallery of photos from the show floor in LA and delve into the details in the press release below. First PLUG-IN HYBRID with a star: S550 PLUG-IN HYBRID The new Mercedes-Benz S550 PLUG-IN HYBRID blends an ultramodern hybrid drive configuration with the unique innovations and the luxurious equipment and appointments of the S-Class. The luxury sedan impresses with exceptional dynamism and efficiency. Thanks to standard pre-entry climate control it also offers unique climate comfort. The first certified three-liter luxury sedan in the world is a further milestone on the road to emission-free mobility. "The S550 PLUG-IN HYBRID is the first luxury sedan with the performance of a V8 and the fuel consumption of a compact model. The greatest challenge in this is to translate efficiency into superior performance. In this respect there is a highly interesting parallel with our successful Formula 1 racing car, which likewise has a turbocharged V6 engine and a high-tech hybrid drive," says Prof. Dr.
