1989 MEREDES 560SL, THE LAST YEAR OF THE LEGENDARY 107 SL, A RUNNING AND DRIVING APPRECIATING CLASSIC THAT NEEDS ONLY THE MOST MINOR OF TLC TO BRING IT BACK TO GLORY. I HAVE OWNED/RESTORED 23 107 SL'S OVER MY LIFETIME AND IT IS MY SECOND FAVORITE CAR BEHIND THE LATE 70'S PORSCHE 930, WHICH INCIDENTALLY IS WHY I'M SELLING THE SL. JUST BOUGHT A 79' 930 WITH RIDICULOUSLY LOW MILES. HAVE ONLY ONE GARAGE SPOT LEFT, SO I MADE THE CHOICE IN FAVOR OF THE 930.
I PURCHASED THE SL LAST YEAR FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER(YES, IT HAD ONE OWNER FOR THE FIRST 23 YEARS OF IT'S 24 YEAR LIFE). A WELL TO DO ELDERLY GENT ON LONG ISLAND WHO SAID HE SPENT AS MUCH ON MAINTENANCE OVER THE YEARS AS THE CAR COST WHEN HE BOUGHT IT NEW. I ASKED FOR SERVICE RECORDS BUT HE WAS A LITTLE FOGGY ON WHERE THEY MAY BE, BUT HE DID PROVIDE SOME IN EXCESS OF $22,000+. THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES STRONG, STARTS RIGHT UP, AND NEVER SMOKES COLD OR HOT. TRANNY SHIFTS AS IT SHOULD. A/C WORKS BUT SHOULD BE COLDER. CENTRAL LOCKING WORKS AS IT SHOULD. CORRECT HARDTOP INCLUDED. THIS IS WHAT I JUST DID: ---JUST INSTALLED NEW SOFTOP---SEATS LOOK GOOD BUT A LITTLE DRY IN THE SEAMS. APPLIED LEATHER REJUVENATOR WHICH WORKED WELL---ABS AND SRS LIGHTS CYCLE CORRECTLY---INSTALLED NEW LEATHER ARMREST COVER---HAS SONY TUNER W/ REMOTE AND 6X9 SPEAKERS IN DECK, SOUNDS GOOD---CUSTOM LEATHER WHEELSKIN ON STEERING WHEEL---SHIFT CONSOLE WOOD RESTORED---VISORS EXCELLENT---DASH HAS 1 OR 2 CRACKS---OLDER REPAINT SHOWS WELL---#702 SMOKE SILVER---CORRECT CHROME WHEEL ARCH MOLDINGS AND DOOR EDGE GUARDS---CORRECT CHROME ALLOYS WITH ALMOST NEW CONTI'S---4 SPARE RIMS INCLUDED---NEW BRAKES AND SENSORS ALL AROUND---NEW FRONT CALIPERS---NEW POWER ANTENNA---NEW EXHAUST AND HANGERS FROM MIDDLE - BACK---NEW BOSCH PLATINUM 4 PLUGS---NEW IDLE CONTROL VALVE---NEW IDLE MODULE---NEW FOG LIGHT LENSES---NEW FUEL INJECTOR NOZZLES, SEALS, AND HOSES---NEW VALVE COVER GASKETS---NEW STEERING SHOCK/DAMPER---NEW TOP FUEL LINE AND FUEL COOLER LINE($450 FROM BENZ)---IF YOUR COUNTING, THAT'S $6000 + IN PARTS AND LABOR---ORIGINAL MANUALS, TOOLS AND FIRSTAID KIT INCLUDED.
THINGS THAT NEED A LITTLE TLC...: TOP OF DASH HAS 1 OR 2 CRACKS. NOT TERRIBLE BUT A DASH COVER WOULD QUICKLY FIX THIS---TRANNY LEAKS A LITTLE INTERMITTENTLY, COULD USE A FILTER KIT W/ GASKET---PLUGS ARE NEW BUT REST OF TUNE UP PARTS WOULD COMPLETE THE TUNE UP----HAS A FEW CHIPS HERE AND THERE BUT NOT MANY---COUPLE OF BULBS ARE OUT
OVERALL IT IS A WELL-LOVED AND CARED-FOR EXAMPLE OF A CLASSIC THAT WILL ONLY INCREASE IN VALUE. 1989 IS THE LAST AND MOST REFINED YEAR FOR THESE CARS. IT IS SOLD "AS IS", AS IT IS A 24 YEAR OLD CAR AND WAS DRIVEN 9000 MILES/YEAR ON AVERAGE, BUT IT HAS PLENTY OF LIFE LEFT, A TIMELESS LOOK, AND PLENTY OF MONETARY APPRECIATION JUST AROUND THE CORNER. PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. I CAN TALK ABOUT THESE CARS ALL DAY!!! GOOD LUCK!!!

Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG
Thu, 25 Jul 2013A little over two months ago came reports that Daimler and Aston Martin were in talks, again, about "supply and technical-cooperation agreements." The next step has been taken with Aston Martin announcing that it has signed a Letter of Intent that looks "towards a technical partnership" with Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and the two companies aiming to have definitive agreements done by year's end.
While it will get to use certain electric and electronic components from AMG, the true golden egg for the maker of the Vanquish will be the ability to develop a new line of "bespoke V8 powertrains" that will be fitted to "a new generation of models." In return for opening up the larder, Daimler will get a non-voting stake of up to five percent of Aston Martin.
Nothing else is being said about the tie-up for the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more details.
European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year
Tue, Dec 16 2014There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.
