LOW MILEAGE, ONE OWNER 1993 Mercedes Benz 500sl roadster convertible with removeable hard top.
I bought this one owner Mercedes at the Ocoee Forida Auto Auction in early February 2003. A Florida Mercedes dealer, from Sarasota, was selling the car for the original lady owner. She had the exact same car in New Jersey and this car was kept ,in the garage, at her Florida home, near Sarasota. The lady was lucky enough to be able to spend half the year in New Jersey and half in Florida, with a red Mercedes 500sl at each home. How sporty is that??????
The afternoon I bought this car, I drove the car home to Charleston, SC. I did see 135mph on the speedometer while flying thru Georgia on I-95. WWhat was I thinking? I was having a serious driving experience, most guys dream of !
What a sensational automobile to drive!
I bought this Mercedes on my SC dealer's license and I have the original one owner Florida title to convey to the next owner.
The next week I had a severe stroke on February 9, 2003. I have not driven since that day, hence the few miles added since the purchase in Ocoee!
Within a few days of my stroke, on Feb 9,2003,the Mercedes was driven inside my warehouse, stored there and started regularly and driven periodically, on sunny days, to keep everything mechanical functioning properly.
A few months ago, George and Pete, drove this 500sl out of the arehouse, at my towing company, to take photos for this ebay listing Sadly,I am not able to drive and enjoy this fabulous Mercedes and need to sell it to help pay medical bills not covered by insurance.
While taking photos, removing the hard top and attempting to raise the convertible top, the top locking hydraulic cylinders, inside the windshield frame, started leaking fluid.
I had the car transported, on one of my rollbacks, to Star Motor Service (843 571-1628 Axel Reinhardt, (owner). Star Motors is the best independent Mercedes repair facility in Charleston, SC.
Axel replaced all the convertible top hydraulic cylinders in the windshield frame and the cylinders at the rear of the convertible top mechanism and repaired a problem with one of the electrical connections on the top mechanism. The car was serviced and checked from bumper to bumper to be certain everything was OK from being stored, for so many years, inside my warehouse.
In the process of raising and lowering the convertible top, the driver side rear convertible top vinyl quarter window split slightly, probably due to being in the down position for 10+ years. Some clear plastic tape was put over the split. (see posted photo).
That split vinyl window is the only flaw on this totally original 20 year old Mercedes 500sl that has spent half its life stored inside my dry warehouse in Charleston, SC.
I am posting a few photos, but I have many more. If you are serious about buying this fabulous automobile, call me and give me your email address and I will emaill you all the photos of the car inside & out, the engine, inside the trunk and all angles of the car's exterior, interior and under side, taken while on the lift. The photos you see posted on this listing and those I email you, were taken today, Friday, February 15, 2013.
The first posted photo was taken in my driveway, at my home, Feb 6, 2003 (10+ years ago), 3 days days before my stroke.

2014 Mercedes S-Class priced lower from $92,900*
Mon, 09 Sep 2013The massively overhauled 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class will start at $92,900, not including a $925 destination fee, when it arrives at US dealers in October. That's a 2.8-percent drop over the 2013 S-Class, although Mercedes is fast to point out that a drop in price doesn't equate with a drop in equipment for the executive sedan.
Besides an extra 20 horsepower from the 4.6-liter, biturbocharged V8, the S550 sports a standard panoramic sunroof, keyless start, a rear-view camera and LED headlights, taillights and interior lights. Adding the German manufacturer's 4Matic all-wheel-drive system bumps the S550's price up to $95,900.
If the S550 doesn't quite cut the mustard, you can wait until November, at which point Mercedes will quite happily sell you the new S63 AMG 4Matic for $139,500. Power is also up on the S63, from a max of 563 ponies with an AMG Performance Package to 577 horsepower as standard on the 2014 model.
How could a lifted Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG be more awesome? Add an axle
Fri, 01 Mar 2013We are fully confident in saying that this will be the most amazing thing you see all day. First of all, it's a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen - in AMG spec, no less. And it's being shown off in high-definition video glory, blasting through the desert, jumping over sand dunes, and generally being awesome. But here's the kicker: It has six wheels. Three axles. And they're all driven. Holy $%!#.
Under the hood is AMG's usual 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8, and total output is rated at 536 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque. That's impressive and all, but do keep in mind that the G63 6x6 weighs in at 8,322 pounds or, you know, the weight of two E-Class sedans. Combine that with its 18 inches of ground clearance, 37-inch tires and five locking differentials and you've got a vehicle capable of, well, everything you've ever imagined or will ever imagine for the rest of your life.
But the goodness doesn't stop once you open the doors. Oh, no. This thing is fit for a king - or a sheik, more appropriately - with ultimately luxurious seating for four. The rear bench seat has been removed in favor of two bucket seats with a fixed console in the middle, and the rear seats have been moved back beyond the usual B pillar to allow for more legroom.
E.U. executive conditionally approves Daimler, BMW car-sharing deal
Wed, Nov 7 2018BRUSSELS — The European Union's competition authority said on Wednesday it had approved the plan of German luxury carmakers Daimler and BMW to combine their car-sharing businesses, subject to conditions. Under the deal, which includes car-sharing units Car2Go and DriveNow as well as ride-hailing, parking and charging services, Daimler and BMW will each hold 50 percent stakes in a joint venture. They have offered concessions to address E.U. antitrust concerns over the deal they hope would let them better compete with U.S. rival Uber and China's Didi Chuxing. The European Commission has found the deal would raise competition concerns for free-floating car sharing services in Berlin, Cologne, Duesseldorf, Hamburg, Munich and Vienna. It said Daimler and BMW agreed to a remedy package in the six cities. "The commitments thus fully address the Commission's concerns as they will reduce the barriers to entry for competing free-floating car sharing providers," the Commission said in a statement. "Therefore the Commission concluded that the proposed transaction, as modified by the commitments, would no longer raise competition concerns. The Commission's decision is conditional upon full compliance with the commitments." Reporting by Gabriela Baczynska and Philip Blenkinsop. Related Video:
