1989 MEREDES 560SL, THE LAST YEAR OF THE LEGENDARY 107 SL, A RUNNING AND DRIVING APPRECIATING CLASSIC THAT NEEDS ONLY THE MOST MINOR OF TLC TO BRING IT BACK TO GLORY. I HAVE OWNED/RESTORED 23 107 SL'S OVER MY LIFETIME AND IT IS MY SECOND FAVORITE CAR BEHIND THE LATE 70'S PORSCHE 930, WHICH INCIDENTALLY IS WHY I'M SELLING THE SL. JUST BOUGHT A 79' 930 WITH RIDICULOUSLY LOW MILES. HAVE ONLY ONE GARAGE SPOT LEFT, SO I MADE THE CHOICE IN FAVOR OF THE 930.
I PURCHASED THE SL LAST YEAR FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER(YES, IT HAD ONE OWNER FOR THE FIRST 23 YEARS OF IT'S 24 YEAR LIFE). A WELL TO DO ELDERLY GENT ON LONG ISLAND WHO SAID HE SPENT AS MUCH ON MAINTENANCE OVER THE YEARS AS THE CAR COST WHEN HE BOUGHT IT NEW. I ASKED FOR SERVICE RECORDS BUT HE WAS A LITTLE FOGGY ON WHERE THEY MAY BE, BUT HE DID PROVIDE SOME IN EXCESS OF $22,000+. THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES STRONG, STARTS RIGHT UP, AND NEVER SMOKES COLD OR HOT. TRANNY SHIFTS AS IT SHOULD. A/C WORKS BUT SHOULD BE COLDER. CENTRAL LOCKING WORKS AS IT SHOULD. CORRECT HARDTOP INCLUDED. THIS IS WHAT I JUST DID: ---JUST INSTALLED NEW SOFTOP---SEATS LOOK GOOD BUT A LITTLE DRY IN THE SEAMS. APPLIED LEATHER REJUVENATOR WHICH WORKED WELL---ABS AND SRS LIGHTS CYCLE CORRECTLY---INSTALLED NEW LEATHER ARMREST COVER---HAS SONY TUNER W/ REMOTE AND 6X9 SPEAKERS IN DECK, SOUNDS GOOD---CUSTOM LEATHER WHEELSKIN ON STEERING WHEEL---SHIFT CONSOLE WOOD RESTORED---VISORS EXCELLENT---DASH HAS 1 OR 2 CRACKS---OLDER REPAINT SHOWS WELL---#702 SMOKE SILVER---CORRECT CHROME WHEEL ARCH MOLDINGS AND DOOR EDGE GUARDS---CORRECT CHROME ALLOYS WITH ALMOST NEW CONTI'S---4 SPARE RIMS INCLUDED---NEW BRAKES AND SENSORS ALL AROUND---NEW FRONT CALIPERS---NEW POWER ANTENNA---NEW EXHAUST AND HANGERS FROM MIDDLE - BACK---NEW BOSCH PLATINUM 4 PLUGS---NEW IDLE CONTROL VALVE---NEW IDLE MODULE---NEW FOG LIGHT LENSES---NEW FUEL INJECTOR NOZZLES, SEALS, AND HOSES---NEW VALVE COVER GASKETS---NEW STEERING SHOCK/DAMPER---NEW TOP FUEL LINE AND FUEL COOLER LINE($450 FROM BENZ)---IF YOUR COUNTING, THAT'S $6000 + IN PARTS AND LABOR---ORIGINAL MANUALS, TOOLS AND FIRSTAID KIT INCLUDED.
THINGS THAT NEED A LITTLE TLC...: TOP OF DASH HAS 1 OR 2 CRACKS. NOT TERRIBLE BUT A DASH COVER WOULD QUICKLY FIX THIS---TRANNY LEAKS A LITTLE INTERMITTENTLY, COULD USE A FILTER KIT W/ GASKET---PLUGS ARE NEW BUT REST OF TUNE UP PARTS WOULD COMPLETE THE TUNE UP----HAS A FEW CHIPS HERE AND THERE BUT NOT MANY---COUPLE OF BULBS ARE OUT
OVERALL IT IS A WELL-LOVED AND CARED-FOR EXAMPLE OF A CLASSIC THAT WILL ONLY INCREASE IN VALUE. 1989 IS THE LAST AND MOST REFINED YEAR FOR THESE CARS. IT IS SOLD "AS IS", AS IT IS A 24 YEAR OLD CAR AND WAS DRIVEN 9000 MILES/YEAR ON AVERAGE, BUT IT HAS PLENTY OF LIFE LEFT, A TIMELESS LOOK, AND PLENTY OF MONETARY APPRECIATION JUST AROUND THE CORNER. PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. I CAN TALK ABOUT THESE CARS ALL DAY!!! GOOD LUCK!!!

Cadillac, Daimler execs take swipes at Tesla
Tue, Apr 22 2014Despite the financial ties between Daimler and Tesla Motors, at least one Mercedes exec thinks the electric automaker doesn't have a bright future. And over at Cadillac, the message is that Tesla doesn't pose a threat but offers the luxury arm of General Motors more of classroom experience. The Mercedes story runs like this. Mercedes-Benz USA president and CEO, Steve Cannon, said at the New York Auto Show last week that Tesla has "no network" and only offers "little shops that don't have service capacity." He also said: "Folks are buying a Tesla now because they're kind of cool, but if you're a Tesla buyer, you have to have multiple cars. With Mercedes, you have a whole network. You've got no worries. ... Tesla is great, but you've got plenty of well-established brands that mean luxury, like Porsche or Mercedes-Benz, and how long do you think we're going to wait and let Tesla be out there alone [selling premium electric cars]?" "Treehuggers do not buy new luxury cars" – Uwe Ellinghaus For Cadillac's global chief marketing officer, Uwe Ellinghaus, Tesla's EV success represents little other than "a great opportunity and a learning exercise for all of us, and will help us traditional manufacturers to think twice about electric mobility." He added that, "I am not afraid of Tesla. ... There is no willingness to really sacrifice on the traditional qualities of a luxury car. These are not cars for treehuggers, as treehuggers do not buy new luxury cars." Ellinghaus made the comments during a panel discussion at the 2014 Automotive Forum. Perhaps the lesson of Tesla's offer of free Supercharging to Model S owners is what led to Cadillac to recently announce a deal with Chargepoint that gives ELR drivers access to that company's 16,500 charging stations. Read more details on that below. Cadillac and ChargePoint Bring EV Customer Luxury Driving Experience World's largest, most open electric vehicle charging network available to ELR drivers 2014-04-16 NEW YORK – Cadillac today announced a partnership with ChargePoint, the largest and most open electric vehicle-charging network in the world. The collaboration brings Cadillac ELR drivers immediate access to more than 16,500 charging locations on the ChargePoint network. The ELR electrified luxury coupe went on sale at the end of 2013. It embodies Cadillac's Art & Science design philosophy, combining provocative design with progressive technology.
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.

These are the 'Greenest' and 'Meanest' cars in 2015
Fri, Feb 6 2015As has become tradition, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) has come up with a ranking of what it refers to as the "greenest" cars of 2015, and, by way of contrast, a list of the so-called "meanest" cars, so those who value eco-friendliness over all else can choose which vehicles they should or should not consider buying. As you may expect, electric cars make up the majority of the greenest cars on the list, but, perhaps surprisingly to many, the Tesla Model S didn't make the cut. It's worth noting, too, that where the electricity an owner uses to charge their electric vehicle has a big impact on its overall environmental impact. "A car that is charged using electricity generated from natural gas or renewables is going to have significantly less impact on the environment than one charged on a coal-heavy grid," says ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan. The ACEEE's list for 2015 looks very different than it did in 2014. It's an interesting collection, though – and we're sure this goes without saying, really – we'd recommend doing a bit more research into each vehicle and how it might fit into your daily life before making any purchase decisions.
