1992 Mercedes 500sl Beautiful Condition, Perfect Color Combo, Wow! on 2040-cars
Palm Beach, Florida, United States
|
Here is a great chance to buy a well maintained 1992 500SL. These cars are becoming harder and harder to find in good condition because people don't want to spend the money to fix them properly. The R129 SL built from 1990-2002 is by far the best built and most usuable, comfortable and safe SL ever built. Unlike the wonderful R107 SL which it replaced, the R129 is modern and fresh and can be used as an everyday driver, not just a toy like the R107. The seats are very comfortable and incoporate the seatbelts into the seat. In the unlikely event of a rollever an rollbar automatically deploys if it detects a wheel that has left the pavement, making this car very safe, and in a rollover, a survivable accident. The rollbar can be electrically raised as well. The best feature about the R129 is that it was the first Mercedes SL to have an automatic top. The previous R107 was manual and people rarely bothered to put them down because of this. The R129 is well insulated and at highway speeds is still quiet. Every R129 SL has 10 hydraulic cylinders that work the top and one that works the Rollbar. Hydraulics at somepoint in their lifespan will leak. And they all do and then need to be rebuilt or replaced. The parts alone are around $3500 plus labor. Everyone of the cylinders has been professionally rebuilt with new seals and the entire hyraulic system flushed with new fluid. So the top works flawlessly and you can expect many years of use from this top with no problems. Another weakness on R129 SL's are plastic trim pieces that break, as in rearview mirrors which are electric and dome lights and they can cost a fortune. Hence people letting these cars deteriorate and eventually junked. The 500SL is the most reliable of all the R129. It has a reliable 4 spd automatic transmission. The 300SL 6 cyl cars came with a 5spd manual or 5spd automatic and the automatics were extremely unlreliable and difficult to rebuild or even at this point to find a replacement. They were also prone to expensive headgasket leaks. The 600SL was a complete overkill. Beautifully crafted on the interior with leather on every surface, but cursed with a adaptive suspension which lowered or raised the car depending on speed. Usually failing and ripping the front bumper when parked. All Mercedes built between 1993-to early 1996 have wiring harness problems, and must be checked or you will be in for a devasting repair bill. When it comes to a R129 its best to do your research or you can have a car that can go from love to hate quickly. This car has a beautiful interior with soft leather, a VDO CD radio and and aux imput for plugging it in to your phone for music. The car has four brand new tires and is ready to go anywhere. Please keep in mind this car is 22 years old. It is not new do not expect a car at this price to be new. I have tried to describe it as accurately as possible, I encourage anyone to come and test drive and you will instantly fall in love. Please call Michael with any further questions.

Recharge Wrap-up: Mercedes gets F1 efficiency, EV charging in Vermont, VW e-Golf to use Bosch
Mon, Jul 14 2014Efficiency equals performance, especially in the case of Formula 1 racing. The Mercedes AMC Petronas team points to several key efficiency technologies it uses to get the most out of its cars. And if their utter dominance so far this season is testament to this relationship, perhaps we should pay attention. Mercedes highlights hybrid tech, turbocharging, aerodynamics, lightweight construction, tribology (both in making internal components and lubricants more slippery) and simulation as crucial to getting around the track faster than anyone else. These just happen to be some of the same things that make the cars we drive on public roads more fuel-efficient. Learn more in the press release below. It's a good read. Brammo, maker of sweet electric motorcycles, is teaming up with TEAM Industries to make drivetrains for electric vehicles. TEAM, which specializes in drivetrain technology, will also become an investor in Brammo as part of the partnership. "The electric vehicle market is a growth market," says TEAM CEO and President David Ricke, "and TEAM and Brammo will be providing a wide range of solutions for OEM manufacturers." Read more over at EV World. Vermont celebrated the installation of a new EV charging station as part of a Green Energy Corridor between Boston and Montreal. When finished, drivers will be able to make the whole trip in an EV with access to charging along the way. For $5, customers can charge their vehicle in about 30 minutes at the Red Hen Baking Company in Middlesex. There are currently only about 700 EVs on the road in Vermont. The state has a goal to get 90 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2050, and getting more EVs on the road is crucial to that mission. Vermont hopes that expanding the charging infrastructure will convince more people to go electric. Read more at Vermont Public Radio's website. For it's new e-Golf, Volkswagen will use Bosch chargers for home installation and ChargePoint stations at its dealerships. Bosch will have various 240-volt options for the home, and will also provide installation. e-Golf customers will also get a free ChargePoint membership, and will have access to the company's network of charging stations worldwide. The 2015 e-Golf goes on sale in the US later this year. Read more in the press release below.

Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept crossover leaked ahead of Shanghai debut
Wed, 17 Apr 2013With just a few days left before the start of the Shanghai Motor Show, images of the Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept compact crossover have emerged online. The little 'ute is based on the small A-Class hatchback, and though it shares an identical wheelbase, is larger in every other dimension.
Looking like a rough-and-tumble five-door hatchback on the tippy toes of its 20-inch wheels, the GLA is most certainly destined for production in a toned down form that will borrow many bits and pieces from other cars based on this platform like the aforementioned A-Class and the CLA-Class sedan. Carscoop reports that the production version of the GLA will be revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September of this year, with sales to the public starting in 2014.
Since it's based on the A-Class, we expect that the production GLA-Class will be powered by your choice of Mercedes' 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine and a diesel or two, and will offer transmissions that include the company's seven-speed DCT and perhaps a six-speed manual (at least in Europe). If the GLA follows the same path as the two cars before it, expect a GLA45 AMG producing over 300 horsepower, as well. As for what powers the GLA Concept, that just might remain a mystery until the vehicle is officially revealed in China.
Mercedes-Maybach GLS Edition 100 layers on the opulence
Wed, Sep 29 2021The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class Edition 100 was revealed yesterday, but it wasn’t the only new Maybach product to come out. No, in addition to the S-Class, Mercedes took the wraps off the Mercedes-Maybach GLS Edition 100. We didnÂ’t have the details for the SUV version right away, but we have them now. None of those details are all that surprising, though. The GLS Edition 100 is built to celebrate the same Maybach centennial milestone as the S-Class, and its appearance is essentially a copycat of the sedan. The one key difference versus the sedan is the number of cylinders under the hood. Mercedes puts its V12 in the S-Class, while the GLS soldiers on with the V8. Let the tears made of money flow for the lack of the additional four cylinders. At least everything else is largely equivalent. The GLS Edition 100 gets painted in the same Designo Crystal White and Silver Grey Pearl two-tone paint scheme. YouÂ’ll find the “Edition 100” Maybach logo on the D-pillar of the GLS. Plus, the logo makes another appearance on the stunning forged grey wheels. The interior of the GLS Edition 100 is also similar to the S-Class, in that itÂ’s finished with a special leather design that is also two-tone in nature with Crystal White and Silver Grey Pearl hides. Everybody who buys one of these Edition 100 cars gets a unique branded car cover and a special case meant to store keys and the carÂ’s paperwork. Pricing isnÂ’t detailed, but Mercedes says Edition 100 cars will be at dealers at the start of 2022 — orders will be taken in the fourth quarter of this year. Related video:
