This is the classic Mercedes-Benz convertible that was produced for decades with minor modifications. A great car from a great brand. This two-seater has a surprising amount of power for a "little car" because it's got an eight-cylinder engine. Wish I didn't have to sell it, but I got laid off from my job and need the money.
Red interior on the car holds up well with the rare metallic tan "Champagne" exterior color. The carpet is in great shape, and the back "rear seat" storage area and trunk look brand new therefore hardly used for any reason.
Comes with a hard top (also Champagne color) that has glass side windows and a glass rear window. It lifts off with a special tool -- included -- and there's still the soft top (standard black color) which is in great condition too if you find yourself needing it.
Air conditioner blows cold right from the get-go. The controls aren't as fancy as modern day Mercedes, but that was then, this is now. A few lights on the dashboard need attention but my mechanic checked out the functionality and wasn't concerned.
The car has a lot life left in it. Clearly it needs a little maintenance though, and most of what it needs is some cosmetics after all this years. There are some light scratches in many places, but before doing a whole paintjob, I'd fix some of the very minor rust edges and some bubbling that is apparent. It's a solid car but after this many years of use, it's bound to have issues like this. Very inexpensive work needed; even a beginner could handle it.
Note that the paint is still in great shape except for the scratches which it's hard to see in the photos. The areas where it needs paint are on the passenger side and you can see in those photos. However it's easy to see how shiny the rest of the paint still is, because if you look at the photo of the hood, for example, the refection of a yellow-leaved tree on the left side of the hood is reflected throughout. (You can see the same reflection in the chrome of the bumper on the left side.)

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
Mercedes dealers authorized to spend $2,500 on perks for S-Class customers
Mon, 02 Dec 2013If you drop $100,000 on a luxury sedan, it seems only reasonable to receive some preferential treatment at the dealership you purchased from. After all, that price isn't just for the car - you're paying for the brand and all the cachet that entails. For Mercedes-Benz, those benefits have apparently been lacking relative to the German brand's luxury competitors.
That's set to change, though, as Automotive News reports that the German brand is placing a much greater emphasis on keeping its customers happy and loyal with its MB Select program. Starting with the new S-Class and spreading to the CLA-Class (and eventually beyond), dealers are being given money - up to $2,500 in the case of the flagship sedan - just to improve the customer experience.
We agree, improving the "customer experience" is quite a vague term, so it's nice that Mercedes USA's CEO, Steve Cannon, offered up some examples to AN at the LA Auto Show. For example, a customer couldn't fit his sunglasses into the overhead compartment. "So we bought him a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses that fit because of their shape," Cannon said.
2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class interior caught in spy shots
Tue, 29 Jan 2013With the redesigned 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class getting closer to production, the camera-wielding crew over at Autospies somehow managed to get inside of the car to snap some detailed spy shots. As the prototypes continue to shed camouflage, it would appear that Mercedes-Benz is getting closer to unveiling the car, and with the Geneva and New York auto shows coming up, it could be sooner rather than later.
From what we can see of this car's interior, the overall look of the S-Class' cabin isn't a ground-breaking departure from the current car, but it has been completely redesigned with more advanced technology. The styling is now even more upscale with larger swaths of wood, more shapely door panels (without the built-in armrest cubbies) and the concept-like two-spoke steering wheel. The highlight of this car though is probably the two massive digital screens with one being used for driver information and the other used for navigation, audio and infotainment systems. One other detail we noticed about this car is that it was equipped with the new 360-degree camera that debuted on the new GL-Class and will also be used on the 2014 E-Class. We also know that the next-gen S-Class will be getting the new cloud-based MBrace2 infotainment system.
As for the exterior design, it looks like the next S-Class will carry a similar profile as the current car, but we can see through the camouflage that the new styling will fit in better with current Mercedes-Benz products. Up front, the grille is much larger is flanked by aggressive LED-trimmed headlights, while the rear view of the car shows us the LED brake light now at the top of the rear window, a more pointed trunk opening and a more squared-off rear fascia with exhaust outlets pushed to the corners.
