The 560SL roadster was the best of the 107 series Mercedes-Benz automobiles. These great cars are starting to go up in value every year as witnessed by the prices that they bring at collector car auctions. The 560 SL was only offered in the US. This SL roadster has been in Southern California since it was sold as a new car, so it is rust free and accident free.. The original Interior is super clean and not re-dyed, and is equipped with a dealer installed rear "Kinder Seat" which was installed by the original selling dealer when the vehicle was new. There is a small area on the upper left side bolster of the drivers seat which shows a small amount of wear which can be touched up and made to look like the original factory finish on the leather if the buyer so wishes. The Signal Red paint is like new with just a few small scratches which one would expect on a vehicle of this vintage, the worst is shown in the photos. All of the body ID stickers are in place and original. The only non-original equipment on this vehicle is the stereo system and the chromed factory alloy wheels which were installed less than a year ago. All of the required service is up to date, as well as some "recomended updates" such as new cam chain tensioners, motor and transmission mounts, as well as quite a few other items which will insure that the vehicle will continue to give years of dependable and fun driving pleasure. The black soft top is original and in very good condition. All of the usual ware and tear items which were needed have been taken care of with in the last 2500 miles. My wife and I drive this car on weekends so the mileage may be 118000+ but well under 119000 miles. We have been up and down the coast, out to the desert and up to the mountains with out a single problem. For a 24 year old vehicle the mileage adds up to an average of less than 5000 miles per year. This is just a very nice example of a great roadster. We would like to see this great car go to someone who will appreciate it as much as we have. Don't miss out on this fine roadster A. Realistic offer may buy this car. Remember, you can't get a Rolex for the price of a Timex. We reserve the right to end this auction early since the vehicle will be offered for sale in our local area starting 02/15/13

Mercedes considering GLA-based crossover coupe
Wed, 30 Apr 2014BMW opened a whole Pandora's Box when it introduced the X6 back in 2008. Sure it made little sense, sacrificing all that "utility" for a little more "sport," but it's been a solid success for BMW - especially considering the nominal expense it cost to develop the X6 on top of the X5 on which it's based. Little wonder that, while BMW has already followed up with a smaller version in the form of the X4, other automakers are starting to catch up. And that includes Mercedes-Benz.
The German automaker is preparing to launch a new MLC, based on the M-Class but with a sportier silhouette, and previewed it with the Concept Coupe SUV at the Beijing Motor Show. But that's just the start, according to the latest report from Automotive News Europe.
Mercedes is reportedly considering spinning off an entire line of crossovers more for use on the road than off it. Which may go without saying for most crossovers on the market, but considering the Geländwagen with which Mercedes got its start in SUVs, would mean an even further departure than it has undertaken already.
VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.
Mercedes to roll out C63 AMG late in 2014 with 4.0L V8
Mon, 30 Dec 2013The new 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is upon us, launching initially in North America with turbocharged four-cylinder C300 4Matic and six-cylinder C400 4Matic flavors. But that's only the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to the vast array of powertrain configurations that will be offered in the new C-Class in markets around the world. Orders will soon be rolling in for gasoline, hybrid and diesel engines with four, six or eight cylinders, driving the rear wheels or all four, with the seven-speed automatic transmission soon to be replaced by a new nine-speed unit. But what enthusiasts are really looking forward to is the next C63 AMG.
As BMW has done with the M3 (and new M4), Mercedes has gradually ratcheted up the cylinder count in its AMG C-Class, graduating from the 3.6-liter V6 in the original C36 AMG to the 4.3-liter V8 in the C43 AMG, then the 5.5-liter V8 in the C55 AMG before going the distance with the sublime 6.2-liter V8 in the C63 AMG. Like its rivals, Mercedes is expected to use turbochargers as a replacement for displacement in the next model, but unlike its Bavarian rival, it won't be losing any cylinders in the process.
Skipping the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 that has gone on to power other AMG models, the next C63 AMG is still expected to introduce a new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing between 450 and 500 horsepower. It'll also reportedly keep the same seven-speed automatic transmission (instead of switching to the new nine-speed), but the jury's still out on whether it'll come with rear- or all-wheel drive (or offer buyers the choice). The downsized V8 - codenamed M177 - is then expected to find its way into other models, but the C-Class will be the first to get it when it arrives before the end of the new year ahead.
