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.

Sebastian Vettel says he's struggling with his Ferrari in Silverstone

Sun, Jul 14 2019

SILVERSTONE, England — Sebastian Vettel said he had struggled to get the right feel for his Ferrari after qualifying a disappointing sixth at the British Grand Prix on Saturday. The four-times world champion, and last year's race winner at Silverstone, will line up a row behind Monegasque teammate Charles Leclerc, in third, and with both the Red Bulls also ahead of him. It was the third race in a row that Vettel had been out-qualified by the 21-year-old, in Leclerc's first full season with Ferrari. Leclerc was on pole in Austria, with Vettel 10th after being sidelined with a power unit problem, and third behind the Mercedes drivers in France while the German was seventh. "I think I just struggled to extract what was in the car," Vettel told reporters. "I just couldn't get the right feel. Not happy with how it went. "I should be more competitive in the race but lately (I've) been struggling a little bit to just extract that one lap, get a great feel for the car. It's been a bit up and down the whole weekend. "It didn't look great on my side," he added of the session on a cold and overcast afternoon. "I struggled to feel the car today and just couldn't get on top of it. It wasn't the best day," added Vettel. Valtteri Bottas starts on pole for Mercedes with five-times world champion teammate Lewis Hamilton, the overall leader, alongside on the front row. The champions have won eight of nine races so far, with Red Bull's Max Verstappen taking the other. "Mercedes should be the favorites but I think we have a fair battle with the Red Bulls and take it from there," commented Vettel, who has not won a race since Belgium last August. "For sure Mercedes is very strong so they will be difficult to beat." Motorsports Ferrari Mercedes-Benz Racing Vehicles Sebastian Vettel

Mercedes-Benz previews its curvy sports-car and design future

Fri, Jan 27 2017

Suggesting creases are passe for automotive design, Mercedes showed off ideas for its future styling directions this week at a forum in Germany, including previews of upcoming sports cars and sedans. We see images of a curvy sports car study (the silver car) with huge wheel arches flared out almost like pontoons. There's also what appears to be a rear-engine hypercar (white car); we've been reading reports about it for months. Additionally, there's a red sporty saloon, as Mercedes calls it, also among the photos. It features prominent rounded fenders and a bold horizontal grille. Mercedes also previewed its upcoming A-Class, in what it calls the Aesthetics A sculpture, which looks like a car covered in a red sheet. Though Mercedes says this is its next step to a purer design, creases and strong lines are still evident on the sides. Related Video:
