DescriptionPLEASE USE YOUR BROWSER'S INNER SCROLL BAR TO SCROLL THROUGH THE ALMOST 100 PHOTOS BELOW. ZERO Feedback? Not to worry... While we have been buying and selling on eBay, personally, for more than a decade, we're just getting started with our "SL-Market" eBay account. Keep an eye out, we plan to add more items soon. Please visit our eBay "About Me" page to learn more about us and the SL Market Letter. Call me, Dave at (651) 216-1265, if you have any doubts... I'd be happy to talk to you about what we do here at the SL Market Letter and the vehicles and services we offer. 1988 Mercedes Benz 560SL Roadster Black Pearl Metallic exterior, black leather interior, original black soft top. This is a one owner car, it was originally purchased at a Mercedes-Benz dealership in Owatonna, MN (no longer there) when the car was new. It still resides with the original owner who purchased it new and, amazingly, it has just 18,252 miles as of the day I took these photos earlier this month. We see LOTS of R107 body SLs, 450s, 380s, 560s, most are just used cars at this point with long lists of needs once you really look at them closely. This is, quite simply, the nicest, cleanest, most original 560SL I have seen, ever. Get in it today and drive wherever you want. ORIGINALITY... right down to its original Pirelli P6 tires! Keep those tires if you want to win your class at a National Mercedes-Benz Club Concours, new tires should be put on the car if you plan to really put miles on it, the tread is fine, they're just original to 1988. Nobody cut holes in the parcel shelf for stereo speakers, they never put those horrible chrome fender trim pieces on the car, they never had a pin stripe put on the car, this car is as it rolled off the assembly line! Driver's airbag was replaced on time, A/C system has been regularly serviced and blows ice cold, original Becker radio is still in place and works perfectly. More about the mechanicals below. Absolute one owner, low mile, time capsule. I ran the CARFAX for the car today, and spoke with the owner about the accident from 2000. The car was lightly rear ended while stopped at a stop sign. According to Carfax 'moderate' damage was reported, perhaps that was due to the cost of a new bumper, because the owner said nothing was painted, nothing happened to the trunk, lights, rear panels at all, the rear bumper was dented and replaced. There is absolutely no evidence anywhere of any accident, there are good photos of the underside of the rear of the car. I inspected the car closely and was surprised to see that on the Carfax as the car looks perfect. EXTERIOR INTERIOR MECHANICALS This car has been largely Mercedes dealer maintained. I do have a copy of the dealer VMI (vehicle master inquiry) showing much of the recent service history. Most recent items include: May 2013 - Mileage: 18,068 - Engine oil change, filter, top off all fluids, perform safety inspection, replace battery. November 2010 - Mileage: 17,227 - Engine oil change, filter, replace radiator cap. March 2010 - Mileage: 14,570 - Engine oil change, filter. August 2009 - Mileage: 12,675 - Replace fuel injection regulator, injection nozzle, steering damper, guide tube. July 2009 - Mileage 11,344 - Replace valve cover gasket (leaking), brake fluid flush, oil change. CONCLUSION Call me, Dave (651) 216-1265, if you'd like to discuss the car in greater detail. Clean, clear title in hand. The right Buy It Now offer can end the auction and put this car in your garage today.

Best car infotainment systems: From UConnect to MBUX, these are our favorites
Sun, Jan 7 2024Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried all car infotainment systems what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. For the most part, the various infotainment systems available all share a similar purpose. They aim to help the driver get where they're going with navigation, play their favorite tunes via all sorts of media playback options and allow folks to stay connected with others via phone connectivity. Of course, most go way beyond the basics these days and offer features like streaming services, in-car performance data and much more. Unique features are aplenty when you start diving through menus, but how they go about their most important tasks vary widely. Some of our editors prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based and chock full of boundary-pushing features. Others may prefer a back-to-basics non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best infotainment overall: UConnect 5, various Stellantis products Ram 1500 Uconnect Infotainment System Review If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu.
Experience the New York Auto Show by drone
Fri, Apr 10 2015The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.

2015 Japanese Grand Prix is a little Mercedes, a lot of zen
Mon, Sep 28 2015Just one week on from the issues in Singapore Mercedes-AMG Petronas appeared to have solved its clamp problems and everything else. Daniil Kvyat at Infiniti Red Bull Racing took the two Free Practice scalps on Friday, but when it came time for qualifying the front of the grid looked really familiar: Mercedes' Nico Rosberg took his second pole position of the season, Lewis Hamilton next to him in second. Kvyat had a hand in that, too, the Russian getting into a big accident in Q3 when he put two wheels on the grass heading into the hairpin and veered into the tire wall so hard that he flipped. That ended qualifying before a number of drivers had a chance to improve their times, Hamilton among them. That's how Valtteri Bottas got in third for Willliams ahead of Sebastian Vettel fourth for Ferrari. Felipe Massa had the second Williams in fifth, ahead of Kimi Raikkonen in the second Ferrari. Daniel Ricciardo lined up sixth for Infiniti Red Bull Racing, a team we're going to have to enjoy watching for the rest of the season since it might not exist come 2016. Romain Grosjean gave Lotus some good news by getting into eighth, the team so strapped for cash that it couldn't get into its hospitality area, so it held press conferences outside and ate at Bernie Ecclestone's Paddock Club. Sergio Perez took ninth for Sahara Force India, and Kvyat slotted into tenth after not setting a time. The Russsian's race would begin from the pit lane once his mechanics rebuilt his car. It wouldn't be a Formula One start lately without someone at the front having clutch problems. This time it was pole man Rosberg, whose power unit got too hot and put him a few horsepower down on Hamilton through Turns 1 and 2. That's half of how Hamilton took the lead from the lights going out, and the Brit kept it throughout the race. Rosberg, however, said his race was lost when Hamilton pushed him wide through Turn 2, a move Hamilton defended. Rosberg finished almost 19 seconds behind his teammate, a gap that probably isn't fully explained by that opening incident. Hamilton's race was so uneventful that we almost never saw him on camera – that is, we saw him so much less than we usually see him when he's out in front and unpressured that Nikki Lauda said he'd ask Ecclestone why the cameras avoided him. The conspiracy theory holds that FOM was punishing Mercedes for not supplying Red Bull with engines next year.
