AFTER PUCHASING AND SELLING MANY OF THESE VEHICLES ON EBAY- I WOULD OFFER THE FOLLOWING ADVICE-"CAVEAT EMPTOR" (LET THE BUYER BEWARE)!MANY OF THESE VEHICLES OFFERED FOR SALE HAVE MISLEADING PICTURES AND DESCRIPTIONS! MANY ARE BEING SOLD BECAUSE THEY NEED REPAIRS (SOMETIMES MAJOR) AND YOU CAN REALLY GET BURNED!!
LOW MILEAGE IS NOT A INDICATION OF THE CONDITION OF THE VENICLE AS MANY LOW MILEAGE VEHICLES HAVE NOT BEEN WELL CARED FOR. HIGHER MILEAGE VEHICLES IN GOOD CONDITION ARE OFTEN GOOD BUYS. THE ENGINES AND TRANSMISSIONS OF THESE "PANZER WAGONS" ARE GOOD FOR 500,000 MILES BEFORE ANY MAJOR SERVICE IS REQUIRED.
IF YOU CANNOT INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND/OR YOU ARE NOT TERRIBLY KNOWLEDGEABLE YOU ARE TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON THE SELLER'S DESCRIPTION AND EBAY RATINGS. BUYING FROM A DEALER CAN OFTEN BE PROBLEMATIC AS THEY TEND TO LEAVE OUT IMPORTANT DETAILS ABOUT THE VEHICLE'S CONDITION.
THEREFORE IT IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO CHECK OUT THE SELLER'S EBAY RATINGS- BOTH THE NUMBER AND THE QUALITY OF THE FEEDBACK.
I AM A RETIRED PHYSICIAN AND MY HOBBY IS REFURBISHING 560 SL'S. ANY NEEDED REPAIRS ARE SUBBED OUT TO MY EXPERIENCED GERMAN MECHANIC. MAJOR UPHOLSTERY WORK IS ALSO SUBBED OUT. I FOCUS ON THOSE RELATIVELY "NIGGLING" ISSUES THAT TEND TO BE QUITE EXPENSIVE WHEN PERFORMED IN A REPAIR SHOP.
ABOUT THE 560SL:
PRODUCTION OF THE "107" BEGAN IN 1972 AND TERMINATED IN 1989 WITH THE 560SL. MERCEDES THUS HAD 17 YEARS TO CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVE THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN DUBBED "THE PANZER WAGON" BECAUSE OF ITS WORKMANSHIP AND DURABILITY.
THE 560 SL WAS PRODUCED FROM 1986-1989 AND IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE MOST DESIREABLE AND COLLECTIBLE. WHEN THE LAST VEHICLE WAS PRODUCED IN 1989 IT SOLD FOR $64,000, SO ONLY THE VERY WEALTHY COULD AFFORD THEM.
BECAUSE OF THEIR EXTREME DURABILITY AND TENDENCY NOT TO RUST THERE ARE STILL PLENTY OF THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AND THEY ARE QUITE AFFORDABLE.
IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF SPORTS CAR HISTORY WRITTEN 50 YEARS FROM NOW THESE LATE MODEL 560'S WILL BE WRITTEN IN AS THE LAST OF THE TRULY ELEGANT TOURING CARS FROM MERCEDES BENZ. THESE CARS ARE SIMPLY STUNNING! WHILE NEW CARS ARE STILL WONDERFUL BY TODAY'S STANDARDS THEY ARE ALL DESTINED TO THE JUNK HEAP WHEN THEIR COMPUTER SOFTWARE PROGRAMS ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTED BY THE FACTORY. THESE SUPERBLY CRAFTED MOTORCARS WILL CONTINUE TO BE ROAD WORTHY DUE TO THEIR PURE MECHANICAL SIMPLICITY. A GUY WITH A SET OF TOOLS AND A SHOP MANUAL WILL ALWAYS BE AROUND TO WORK ON THESE GEMS FROM MB, MUCH THE SAME WAY AS CARS FROM THE 20'S AND 30'S ARE REBUILT AND MAINTAINED SO SIMPLY TODAY. THE PAINT ON THESE CARS FROM THAT ERA WILL OUTLAST THE NEW PAINTS 10 TO 1.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FRO A TRUE FUN WEEKEND CAR WITH COLLECTOR APPEAL ONE OF THESE CARS IS A GREAT WAY TO GO!

Mercedes FWD platform to last until 2018, convertible and two-seater future uncertain
Mon, 22 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz seems to be expecting a lot of success from its front-wheel-drive CLA-Class. Automotive News is reporting that the sub-C-Class sedan could grow when its second generation arrives in 2018.
The current FWD platform for MB underpins the CLA, the B-Class, the GLA-Class, and the A-Class. The B-Class will arrive in North America as an EV for spring of 2014, while the production GLA crossover will arrive three to four months after that. The five-door A-Class won't be crossing The Pond. Sad faces all around.
According to AN, another model will be based on the front-drive architecture, but it won't be coming to the US market. Set to arrive next year, rumors are that it'll be a wagon version of the CLA, sort of like the ill-named five-door CLS Shooting Brake that is also a Europe-only item.
Mercedes-Benz to build new ML coupe-crossover in Alabama in 2015
Fri, 05 Sep 2014Mercedes-Benz will expand its factory in Tuscaloosa, AL, to build the ML Coupe, a new crossover that will join its lineup in 2015. Mercedes will also ramp up production to build facelifted versions of the M-Class and GL-Class SUVs, lifting the factory's total production capacity to about 300,000 units annually in 2015. It made 185,000 vehicles in 2013. In addition to SUVs, the Tuscaloosa site also makes the C-Class sedan.
The plans come as part of Mercedes' strategy to capitalize on Americans' increasing demands for SUVs. The company said the SUV market was up 12 percent in first half of 2014, and expects it to grow at twice the rate of the regular market in 2015 and 2016.
"We are seeing climbing demand for SUVs." - Dieter Zetsche
Daimler CEO says nobody is making money on EVs right now
Wed, Nov 5 2014What do you charge for a vehicle you're going to lose money on? If you're Mercedes-Benz and the vehicle in question is the B-Class Electric Drive, you offer it for lease for just 399 euros ($498) a month with a down payment of 8,473 euros ($10,582). If Daimler was going to price it honestly, it seems, the number would have to be a lot higher. "Nobody today is making a battery-powered vehicle that's economically viable." – Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche That's according to Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche, who spoke to reporters in Spain recently and said that, "You can reasonably say that nobody today is making a battery-powered vehicle that's economically viable in its own right. Manufacturers will not see a return within a reasonable time on the billions they're investing now." There are ways to make money in EVs, of course. Just ask Daimler, which recently sold its stake in Tesla for a cool $780 million. Zetsche has some EV-critical company in executives like Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne, who has said his company loses over $10,000 on each Fiat 500E it sells. Other automakers – e.g., Tesla, Nissan – are much more positive about their financial bet on EVs, but no one is opening all their books to the public to prove this. Tesla, which worked with Mercedes on the B-Class ED, will have an earnings call with investors later today, so perhaps we'll learn something new in a few hours. The B-Class ED lease deal is for 36 months, based on an MSRP of 39,151 euros ($48,895) in Europe, including the 19 percent VAT. You can read more in the press release below. Commercial release of Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive: Local emission-free driving from ˆ399/month Stuttgart, Nov 03, 2014 With its high-torque electric motor, the B-Class Electric Drive delivers lively and superior driving pleasure – with zero local emissions. The B-Class Electric Drive is now available to order, with deliveries set to start before the end of 2014. Prices start at ˆ39,151[1]. The B-Class Electric Drive can be leased through the Mercedes-Benz Bank from ˆ399 a month[2]. Further information on the full range of tailor-made leasing and financing offers as well as specific pricing examples are available at http://www.mercedes-benz-bank.de. Quiet and local emission-free driving is ensured by a 132 kW electric motor, which, as is typical of an electric drive, delivers its maximum torque of 340 Nm right from the start. The result is noticeably powerful acceleration from rest.
