1991 Mercedes 500sl Roadster Red Convertible on 2040-cars
Atlanta, Georgia, United States
|
I'm selling my sweet
little 1991 red 500SL, I hate to move it on to its next home but I need to get
my son a (more) practical car. I've owned the car a
for three years and have loved every minute of it. It starts up and drives great
on highway or surface streets and has great pick up and lots of power.
Extremely low miles (118k) for a 20 year old car. The body is the R129
style. Car has four new Falken tires and the car drives straight and smooth. All
five rims (including spare) are Mercedes factory and in good shape. The drivers seat had a tear/separation in the leather but overall, the interior is in pretty good shape. The dash has no cracks or
imperfections. I have the red hard top and it's in perfect shape, but
honestly I've never put it on. This car was built as a convertible and
looks and drives best with the roof down! The car has not been restored
and all equipment is original. I've kept my reserve low and would consider this as a project car due to the following list of imperfections: The hydraulics for the
automatic roof don't work. I'm not sure if it's one or all of the
hydraulic pumps, but to raise and lower the soft roof (which is in perfect
shape) you need to use the Mercedes spacer tool (provided). The passenger seat and
seat belt are stuck in the locked position. I don't know how to fix
this. The drivers side seat works and folds forward perfectly giving access to the back storage and the seat belt works perfectly. There is some clear coat bubbling on the hood. I was told that this is a common problem with this vintage year and color. I don't think the car needs a repaint. I've takes a couple of close up pics of the hood, it's hard to see from pictures, but it's not too bad and only on the hood. The
plastic trim bumper on the front of the car has been cracked hitting curbs and
such. It looks fine but has some visible
cracks in the plastic. Drivers side door key
won't lock from the outside. To lock the car, you have to do it from the
passengers side. Power antennae won't
raise or lower. The radio / cassette (original) turns on but says “stand by”
but no radio stations come in. The
antennae is stuck in the down position. AC doesn't blow cold (heat works perfectly) Lately, after starting and running for a while, the accelerator hesitates before moving. This seems to happen after the engine has warmed up and it's sporadic. Not sure what it is, fuel pump maybe? Overall, the car is in
great shape. It's such a fun car to scoot around town in, and I'm sure you'll
love it. I've kept my reserve
low. Feel free to phone or email with any questions at all. You're welcome of
course to inspect the car as you'd like. Includes new mats
(generic), original manual, passenger compartment add-on wind screen block
and a fitted car cover. The car is in my home garage in Atlanta Georgia and the pick up
and transportation are the buyers responsibility. Winning bid must be paid
within 3 days in cash, certified funds or via PayPal. This vehicle
is sold "as is," and has no warranty expressed or implied. Serious
inquires only please. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
ask by e-mail. If you require a call back, leave your number and I will call
you. Happy Bidding and thanks for looking! |

Missouri Mercedes dealer offering free Smart with every SLS AMG purchase
Wed, 05 Dec 2012The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT is an exquisite sports car that probably needs no help flying off dealer lots, even with a starting price of almost $200,000, but Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City has come up with an interesting incentive to sweeten the deal. For buyers who purchase a new SLS AMG from dealer stock before the end of the year, the dealership is throwing in a new Smart Fortwo from its inventory at no charge... with a required coupon no less.
In addition to being a great tactic to get a little free press, the spare car also makes sense as an alternative to the SLS, which measures more than 15-feet long - almost twice the length of a Fortwo - and has a 563-horsepower engine that sucks down gas at the rate of 13 miles per gallon in city driving (and even that's provided you don't give in to the devil on your shoulder). Plus, at the end of the day, this really isn't that big of an incentive. Being given a slow-selling $12,490 car for the purchase of a model starting at $199,500 represents about a six percent incentive, which is along the lines of a $1,900 rebate for a $30,000 car.
To get the free Smart, just visit the Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City Facebook page, redeem the coupon and then go buy yourself a new SLS AMG. Congratulations!
First official shot of Mercedes S-Class Coupe leaks out
Mon, 10 Feb 2014With the official debut for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe expected tomorrow, it shouldn't be a surprise that some clicky fingers have already managed to uncover an official image of the car before the unveiling. Outside of this sole image, though, there's precious little detail on the new car.
First posted by Autofilou and then picked up by WorldCarFans, the production S-Class Coupe isn't far off from the concept car we saw a few months back in Frankfurt. Like the concept, the leggy production model appears related, albeit distantly, to the S-Class Sedan. The hood and front fascia are longer and lower, befitting of a two-door, while the character lines in the profile are more pronounced. Obviously, the beltline and slim, B-pillarless greenhouse are coupe-only items. We can't see any details on the back of the car, although it does appear that the long hood has a correspondingly short rear deck.
We'll have all the details on the official replacement for the CL-Class when it makes its full debut tomorrow. Until then, what do you think of this lone image? Does it appear that Mercedes has got it right? In terms of design, where would you rank this with the departing CL-Class? Have your say in Comments.
Daimler: 2017 the right time to launch our hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle
Tue, Jul 22 2014Zero-emissions vehicle development has never focused purely on off-the-line acceleration. So when a research executive with Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler says it's Okay that companies like Toyota and Hyundai will have a head start selling hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle, it's somewhat believable. But is Daimler really fine with being two years behind? It appears so. Daimler plans on debuting its first fuel-cell vehicle in 2017, Automotive News says, citing an interview Automobilwoche had with Daimler's corporate research chief Herbert Kohler. The German automaker estimated about a decade ago that it would be able to get fuel-cell production costs down to an "acceptable" level in 2012, but it turns out that estimate was about five years too aggressive. Daimler originally started leasing out a limited number of its F-Cell hydrogen vehicles in the US for $849 a month, though later brought that down to $599 a month. Daimler says it received a boost in its effort to accelerate fuel-cell powertrain development when it reached an agreement early last year with Nissan and Ford to work together on speeding up relevant powertrain technology. While Toyota's first fuel-cell vehicle in Japan is priced at almost $70,000 (before big government incentives kick in), Kohler says Daimler's first fuel-cell vehicle will be priced similar to a hybrid vehicle. Of course, that's a Mercedes-Benz hybrid we're talking about here, but still. Related Gallery Mercedes-Benz F-Cell View 9 Photos News Source: Automotive News - sub. req.
