Location:

Bridgewater, Massachusetts, United States

Up for sale this week is my own personal 1998 Mercedes Benz SLK 230 Kompressor.  This car only has 90,400 miles on it.... a true head turner!   I will do my utmost best to describe anything and everything , honestly and to the best of my ability.  However i am not a mechanic and i will not be held responsible for any missed details.  i full encourage any buyer to come and look at car, test drive it, view inside and out before buying.  With that said, i hope my FEEDBACK for 10 years on this site says alot.....  lets get to it!

Exterior:  I would give the exterior a 7 out of 10. The exterior is a sexy metalic blue, i belive it to be the original color and is in good condition.  There are some signs of re paint/overspray in a few sm spots. and it appears that maybe the front bumper was replaced at one time.  The nose is a little off where the lights meet up to the bumper and the lights themselves are 1 piece aftermarket. there are no fog lights on this car.  And there is a small molding missing on the drivers side lower front fender (prob 25$ at the dealership) The car could deff use a good buff and wetsand to get some minor imperfections out, but overall it is in great condition. please see all photos

Rims: This car came with stock 16" rims, i do not have them anymore, i did purchase the rims you see now about 3 months ago witch are 18" rims with 40' low profile tires.  3 of the tires are used and still have about 85% tread left, one of the tires is brand new is only 1 month old.  The rims are flawless overall id give them a 9 out of 10.

Interior: i would give the interior a 8 out of 10.  This is the original black on black interior.   The dash is great, the seats are great (very small tear starting in the center of drivers seat, about 1/2 inch) all power options work on the car, the carpets are clean, there is no other stains or smells (non smoker). Some of the center console finish is pealing a little... the car has an aftermarket cd player installed.

Engine/other: Id give this engine a 8 out of 10.  It has never done me wrong in the year ive owned it.  This is the reliable 4 cyl supercharged, rear wheel driven engine. Does not leak or burn anything, i have done mobile 1 oil changes since ive owned it.  all fluids are up to par and i just had an oil change on it last month.  The ABS light is on, and has been on since i owned it.  the brakes work flawless, so i saw no need to bring it to dealership, also the ASR light is on, (wich has a switch) i have been told that maybe the 2 of them co- inside with eachother.  i have no idea what the ASR light does?? 

Convertible Roof:  The roof works great on this car and has never failed me.  Every once in a while if you drive over a good size bump, the roof light will blink and you will hear a few beeps, then it goes away. Thats the only issue ive ever had.

I believe im the second or 3rd owner on the car, i bought it out of state so i do not know the history, and because i told you about the front bumper, it may or may not have been in a minor accident. i see no damage under the hood or under the car. This car does have a CLEAN TITLE ...please use your own judgment or purchase your own vehicle history report.  i can only tell you what i know since ive owned it.   i am an honest man who has sold everything from antiques to cars from video games to sports memorbilia.... i try my best to decribe it all, so there are no surprises and my customer is truly happy.  and hopefully my Feedback speaks volume.

The car is located in Bridgewater, MA 02324 if you need a shipping quote.  I require a 500$ paypal deposit within 24 hours of auction close, you then have 5 days to pay the remaining balance in full (thru paypal or cash in hand) and 7 days from end of auction to remove the car from my property.  If you cannot do any of this, please do not bid.  These terms are very important.  It is the buyers Responsibility to remove car by any means at there cost.  If car needs to be loaded onto a carrier i can help with that.  Also, if you live out of state and would like to fly in and pick car up and drive it home, i can assist with that as well (for a fee). My local airport is LOGAN airport in boston ma.  I am about 22 mins south of Boston. There is NO warranty expressed or implied on this car, like all used private party cars, you are buying the vehicle as is.  if you have any questions please ask BEFORE auction ends, not after.  thank you, as always NO RESERVE!   good luck!

In this week's Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Road Test Editor Reese Counts and Associate Editor Joel Stocksdale. First, they talk about the newly refreshed Chevy Camaro SS. Then they dish on the cars they've been driving, including the Lexus UX, Lexus GS F and Volvo V90, as well as riding in the new Mercedes-Benz GLS. After that, they ask the question, how many AMG cars is too many? Finally they turn to car buying, and suggest potential vehicles for a shopper on Reddit for the "Spend My Money" segment.

Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series gives the rich and famous what they want

Sat, Aug 17 2024

TOPANGA, Calif. – Give the people what they want, right? Especially if they're extremely wealthy. And possibly famous.  Apparently, the requests for a convertible Maybach from existing owners and/or celebrities were so frequent and insistent that the uber-luxury offshoot of Mercedes-Benz finally decided to give them just that. The 2025 Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series answers the call. While all other Maybachs are based on a Mercedes-Benz, this is the first Maybach to be based on a car developed by AMG: the current-generation SL 55 and SL 63. This presented a greater challenge to engineers than past efforts. Although a sportier Maybach was intended (as opposed to modern Maybach's first drop-top effort, the Maybach S 650 Cabriolet), the SL 680 is, not surprisingly, seeking a much different dynamic end goal than its AMG-only cousins. According to Maybach product manager Hannes Meyer, the far shorter wheelbase than the Maybach norm was a particular challenge in making sure that its convertible offering maintained "the same ease and nearly floating driving experience" expected of the brand. To that end, the Maybach SL shares the SL 63's air suspension and trick AMG Active Control interconnected hydraulically controlled dampers, but the tuning is changed, especially with the rear air springs as the driver sits closer to those. Meyer says the damper valves in particular have a greater range between sportiness and comfort than the SL 63. The steering system is totally Maybach-specific, including a different ratio and more upright front camber, resulting in what Meyer described as a more stable and less aggressive setup than what you'd find in the SL 63.  Before you start looking for a 6.8-liter engine in the Mercedes arsenal, remember that those numbers don't really mean anything anymore. The Maybach SL 680 has exactly the same 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 as the SL 63 good for 577 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. The nine-speed AMG transmission is the same in terms of hardware, but it has totally different software. In particular, the 2-3 and 3-4 shifts are most different in order to provide a smoother, more Maybach acceleration experience. The 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive system is also shared, but is programmed to have a more balanced front-to-rear power split than the rear-biased AMG. Finally, the exhaust has been retuned. Meyer said that up to 2,800 rpm, the exhaust isn't quieter than what you'd experience in the AMGs, it just has a different tone.

Mercedes S-Class Magic Body Control ad is clucking awesome

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

This is a new ad from Mercedes-Benz. At no point does it show an automobile. Instead, it stars animals, but not the sort you might normally see in car commercial. This ad is all about chickens. It is bizarre, to say the least, with Diana Ross and the Supremes belting it out in the background, but it all kind of comes together when you realize just what Mercedes is hawking (yeah, pun intended).
It's for the manufacturer's Magic Body Control, found on the new S-Class. The system basically analyzes the road and prepares the suspension accordingly, leading to a ride that is, in the words of our own Chris Paukert "nothing short of spooky." You can read about it in our full review of the 2014 S550. Take a look below for the 53-second spot.
