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.

Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG shows up to fight the hottest hatches [w/videos]
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Fun coincidence. On the same day that Audi announces the unveiling of its new S3 Sportback at the Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz steals the spotlight by confirming that the all-new A45 AMG will also receive its official debut early next month. Starting life as the entry-level A-Class hatchback, the A45 AMG gets the full AMG treatment, which includes numerous performance, handling and styling upgrades.
Under the hood sits an AMG-tuned 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 breathing through a sport exhaust system helping the five-door produce 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired to a seven-speed AMG dual-clutch transmission and power is sent to the ground using 4Matic all-wheel drive. Mercedes-Benz says that the A45 AMG will be able to accelerate from 0-60 miles per hour in under 4.5 seconds and it will have a top speed of 155 mph; in the land of hot hatches, it doesn't get much hotter than that. For added performance and handling, AMG has retuned the A-Class' suspension and steering systems and equipped The A45 with a three-stage stability control system that is specific to this car.
Surprisingly, the exterior styling of the A-Class was already sporty enough that the new model doesn't receive too many changes to become the A45 AMG. The biggest alterations include black accents to the chin spoiler, rocker panels and mirror caps, black wheels with red-painted brake calipers and rectangular dual exhaust outlets. Inside, it doesn't take a trained eye to spot the differences. The flat-bottomed sport steering wheel and the numerous red accents throughout the cabin (including the seatbelts!) really help to make this AMG interior stand out; front passengers will also get sport bucket seats that appear to be more than supportive enough for even the most spirited driving conditions.
Race Recap: 2013 Japanese Grand Prix flips several scripts [spoilers]
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Japan's Suzuka circuit is a great track that all the drivers love, but it doesn't usually provide the most thrilling, head-to-head racing. Where it does excel, however, is with surprises and "What just happened there?!" moments, and this year it was no different.
It started with Mark Webber in his Infiniti Red Bull Racing out-qualifying his teammate Sebastian Vettel for the first time this year. They were followed closely by Lewis Hamilton in the first Mercedes-AMG Petronas, the still-solid Romain Grosjean again outdoing teammate Kimi Räikkönen, Felipe Massa racing for another seat in Formula One and putting his Ferrari in fifth, then Nico Rosberg in the second Mercedes, Nico Hülkenberg in the first Sauber, Fernando Alonso in the second Ferrari, and Räikkönen continuing to do himself no favors by qualifying tenth.
For the second year in a row, the lights going out was the cue to start the first corner action...
Maybach lost upwards of $500k on each vehicle sold
Wed, 08 Feb 2012Daimler is shuttering Maybach in 2013 after seven years of production. In that time, the company's ultra-ultra-luxury arm managed to sell just 3,000 units, and CAR reports Daimler lost somewhere around $500,000 on each and every one of them.
Even with a ludicrous price tag of over $370,000 for an "entry" Maybach 57, the brand couldn't quite recoup the dizzying $1.33 billion Daimler poured into it since its (re)inception. Rumors ignited over a possible tie up with Aston Martin that would have resulted in a range of new and attractive models, but Daimler has instead decided to snuff out Maybach altogether.
We can hardly blame them.
