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. |

Weekly Recap: Mercedes, Volkswagen spend big as import automakers invest in North America
Sat, Mar 14 2015Import automakers are on a building frenzy in North America as resurgent car sales have prompted companies to expand their manufacturing footprints to meet rising demand. That was evidenced this week when Mercedes-Benz announced plans to build a $500-million factory to produce the Sprinter commercial van, and Volkswagen confirmed a whopping $1-billion investment to expand its massive plant in Mexico. Meanwhile Jaguar Land Rover reportedly wants to build a factory in North America, but not for at least three years, and Hyundai is said to be expanding in the southern United States. The common thread in all of this expansion? Trucks, time and money. Mercedes wants to capitalize on the burgeoning work van segment in the United States and will break ground in 2016 on a 200-acre site in Charleston, SC, to build the next-generation Sprinter. The site will have a paint shop, body shop and an assembly line, and 1,300 people will be employed when production ramps up. Why do this, when Mercedes has immense van operations in Germany? It's cheaper to build in the US for the US market. Building locally allows Mercedes to avoid import taxes, forego a complex shipping process that involves partially disassembling German-built Sprinters and naturally, reduces the time it takes to deliver finished trucks to their buyers. "This plant is key to our future growth in the very dynamic North American van market," Volker Mornhinweg, head of Mercedes-Benz Vans, said in a statement. He was speaking about Mercedes and vans, but another German automotive giant, Volkswagen, had similar motives for its mammoth expansion plans in Puebla, Mexico. The added space and production capacity will allow VW to build a three-row version of the Tiguan, and provide another crossover for its US lineup that's light on SUVs. The current Tiguan has two rows. The factory will be able to churn out 500 units daily of the larger variant, and they will be sold in North and South America. It will arrive in the US in mid-2017, a spokesman told Autoblog. VW also plans to build another crossover, a midsize seven-passenger vehicle, at its growing Chattanooga, TN, site. "Localization has become key to safeguarding our competitive position on the global market, and manufacturing the Tiguan in Mexico will bring production closer to the US market," Michael Horn, CEO of Volkswagen Group of America, said in a statement.

Mercedes C-Class Coupe due to go on sale next December
Sat, Dec 6 2014While we expect to see the coming Mercedes C-Class convertible sometime next year, perhaps at the Paris Motor Show, Auto Motor und Sport reports that the C-Class Coupe will go on sale in December 2015 (probably in Europe first) - it's possible we'll see it debuted at the same time as the cabrio. The German magazine says the two-door will have sharper lines on a body that is four inches longer, almost two inches wider and a fraction of an inch lower than the sedan, dimensional aggrandizement that will be put to good effect on the AMG version coming in 2016. We'll have to wait for information on powertrains, which should hew to the sedan's lineup in addition to whatever else M-B might bring over here, topped off by the 503-horsepower, twin-turbo V8 in the AMG variant. Speaking of which, the 'last-generation' C63 AMG Coupe is still on sale until spring of next year, if you're a fan of the classics. Or you can wait on news of the C-Class four-door coupe, if niches inside of niches are what you're really after.
