I'm selling my 1999 SL Mercedes convertible.  I got a ride in the car when it was brand new!  My best friend purchased the car new for his wife in 1999.  They sold me the car in 2004 or 05 with around 10,000 miles on it.  His wife hated it because it has such a sporty ride (AMG suspension and wheels).  It doesn't float, this car grabs the road and has amazing power.  I sold the car a couple years later to my lady friend in San Dimas, CA with approximately 14,000 miles on it.  She had her hip replaced last year, and it was difficult for her to get in and out of it, so I bought it back in March with approximately 34,000 miles on it.  I have enjoyed having it back, but I just bought a new car this week and need the room.

I have the original hard top, which is also in perfect condition and stored in my garage on a stand made to hold these hard tops.  I will include it in the sale as well.  I am happy to send photos of it to anyone that requests them.  Sorry, I couldn't post a photo of the car with the hard top, but it takes 2 people to put it on.  I also have the factory keys, 2 remote keys and a valet key.

The car has NEVER been smoked in, always garaged and hand washed.  It has also only had Mobile 1 synthetic oil it's whole life.

The brakes are fairly recent, as are the tires.  I recently had the mass air flow sensor replaced, and it has a new gas cap too.  The mechanic that worked on it said the engine is perfect as are the motor mounts.  My friend in California also had the AC compressor replaced.  The AC works awesome, as does everything on this car. 

There are no major cosmetic issues.  There is some normal wear and tear on a car of its age including: 2 small paint chips around the area where the gas goes in, there is a crack and a scrape to the underside of the front bumper - caused from pulling too close to those concrete things in a parking lot and then backing out.  I though about having that repaired, but frankly you cannot see it unless you're on the ground looking up.  The floor mats are fairly new, dark brown color so they show no dirt.  The leather is soft and supple, showing little if any sign of wear.  The car is in overall fabulous condition.  I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with it.  This would be awesome for someone back east, as the car has never been driven in snow or ice and not even purposely in the rain!  Although, I will admit it's been rained on twice that I know of.

I think I've covered everything, but if you have any questions, I'll be happy to assist in any way I can. 

As far as shipping goes, the buyer will be responsible and I will cooperate and assist moving company.  OR you can pick it up yourself if you like.  I would be happy to pick you up at the airport and you can drive it home.

Serious buyers, please.  Thank you.  Certified funds only.  PayPal deposit required.

As US exports top 2 million, is America becoming the world's source of cheap cars?

Mon, Feb 9 2015

North American auto production is booming with 2014 figures just shy of the of the 17.3-million vehicle record set in 2000. With more models being built on the continent, even more are being shipped overseas. Factories in the US exported 2.1 million cars last year – the highest number ever. About half of those went to Canada and Mexico, but more than ever have been heading to places like the Middle East and China. The upswing comes in part from from after-effects from the Great Recession, according to The Wall Street Journal. With a weak dollar and lower production costs after the financial crisis, building vehicles in the US was relatively cheaper and more competitive in the world. At the same time buyers around the world are going crazy for crossovers. According to the WSJ, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are already exporting the majority of their US production of these models overseas. Both automakers have also announced investments to expand production further here to send more vehicles abroad. Even Honda has been shipping more models out of the country than it imported here. There is a concern this international strength could start slowing because the dollar is strengthening against other currencies, though it's too early to know what the actual effect of this could be, according to the WSJ. "Of course, we closely watch currency exchange, but we don't make changes in production or allocation based on temporary fluctuations in the exchange rate," Ford North American boss Joe Hinrichs told the newspaper.

SRT Viper dukes it out with Mercedes SLS Black Series in new Head 2 Head

Fri, 05 Jul 2013

In Episode 36 of Motor Trend's Head 2 Head, now that the Corvette ZR1 is no more, Jonny Lieberman has to look overseas to the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series for a challenger with similar philosophy to the SRT Viper: long hood hiding a high-horsepower engine set way back, rear-wheel drive, tiny trunks. That puts the Viper's 8.4-liter V10 with 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque against the SLS AMG's 6.2-liter V8 with 622 hp and 468 lb-ft.
However, the congruences in philosophy and magnitude of numbers doesn't translate to the driving experiences of the two, which are literally and figuratively on different continents. Lieberman gets a handle on the two of them on Northern California roads, Randy Probst then finds out how, and how quickly, they can lap Laguna Seca.
They both get kudos for being improvements on their original sources, but only one of them can take the win. You can find out by watching the video below.
