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 red color of the car. 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? I recently installed a new interior hood pad since the original was crumbling away. I bought an original OEM hood pad and it's a perfect install, looks great. Engine is clean and all original. Hard top roof is included. It's in perfect shape, I don't think it's ever been used. 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! |

Mercedes-Benz GLK coupe to get 2016 intro
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Radio chatter around the emerging small, premium crossover coupe genre has thus far been dominated by the Land Rover Evoque and the Mini Paceman. According to a report in Car, the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class (shown above) has received its invitation to the party and will spend the next three years getting ready: it's said that two-door variant of the crisply-angled CUV is coming in 2016, along with a redesign befitting its sleeker intentions.
To be based on the MRA platform - the rear-drive version of the company's three new modular platforms, it will also support the coming 2013 S-Class and could eventually get an AMG version to help it compete with segment offerings like the forthcoming Porsche Macan. Not much else is known about it beyond its name: Car says it will be called the GLC, a friendly nomenclature we remember best as a Mazda hatchback (allegedly for "Good Little Car"). Internet oldtimers may remember the Mazda GLC as the predecessor to the 323 (which in turn came before today's Mazda3). Either way, the GLC is not to be confused with the larger upcoming BMW X6 rival based on the ML-Class (reportedly called GLS) which is also said to still be in the works, or the front-drive based GLA, a model also edging toward production.
Maybach and Aston Martin alliance talks fall apart
Tue, 27 Sep 2011If you have, like us, been salivating at the notion of a new generation of Maybach and Lagonda ultra-luxury crafts built by Aston Martin, we've got some bad news: According to reports emanating from Germany, talks between AML and Daimler have broken down.
The proposal under negotiation would have seen Daimler outsourcing production of the next family of Maybach models to Aston Martin, which in return would benefit from Mercedes-Benz platforms and engines - not only for its svelte GTs, but also for its own future Lagonda line of limousines and luxury SUVs. That, and a boatload of money - or at least that's what AML was reportedly seeking, an issue that served as the stumbling block over which the deal reportedly collapsed.
That's not to say the two parties couldn't still reach some sort of a compromise, but short of that, Daimler may opt to either shut down Maybach altogether, find another partner, or take another stab at building new models internally.
Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept gets mobbed in China
Sat, 20 Apr 2013If the reception it received at the Shanghai Motor Show is any judge of marketplace acceptance, Mercedes-Benz has a hit on its hands in the form of the GLA Concept. And we can understand why - we're quickly becoming fans of Mercedes' recent styling language, as defined by new models like the CLA and this GLA Concept.
The big news on the exterior front are the headlamp clusters, which have frickin' laser beams attached to their foreheads embedded inside that are capable of projecting videos and images on a screen. Plus, a pair of video cameras are mounted on the roof that can be used to capture driving excitement or removed and taken with you. How cool is that? We just hope they have a substantial locking mechanism to prevent would-be thievery...
If the exterior is mostly ready for production, with a few of the more outlandish elements moved to the trash bin - like, for instance, laser-beam headlamps and removable action cams - the interior is a true custom job that screams concept loud and clear. There are all kinds of jewel-like finishes inside, along with transparent surfaces showing what looks like metal latticework underneath and some awfully thick looking leather with massive exterior stitching done by hand similar to what you'd find on a baseball glove.
