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!!!

Carlsson SLK 340 Judd is winged up for hill climb glory
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Carlsson has been expertly tuning Mercedes-Benz products for more than 20 years now, but we can't say as we remember the outfit turning out anything quite so racy as this SLK 340 Judd that it has brought along to the Geneva Motor Show this year.
This SLK is meant for competition, obviously, and Carlsson has already booked the car to race in several hill climb events in the E1 category. The purpose-built racer should have a fighting chance to do well in said races, with a shape vetted in wind tunnel testing for maximum downforce, the SLK uses a carbon-fiber bodyshell to help achieve a curb weight of just about 1,720 pounds.
The featherweight SLK's name comes from its 3.4-liter V8 engine, which churns out a wicked 610 horsepower to go with its 317 pound-feet of torque. A Hewland transmission with paddle shift operation manages all of the thrust.
Mercedes A45 AMG in downhill battle with slipstream skateboarder
Mon, 30 Sep 2013We're told it takes "performance, control and expression" to pilot a longboard skateboard down a mountain road, and that those happen to be the same values embodied in the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG. That's how the two came to be combined in a black-and-white short film called Silver Slipstream.
There's no talking, no engine note and no color, just some music, a 'boarder and a car on a long cruise down the Franschhoek Pass in the Western Cape of South Africa." Despite that, it's actually a pretty entertaining video of the latest Mercedes-Benz hot hatch married with extreme sports. You can watch how it all goes down in the video below.
US buyers show little interest in big hybrids
Sat, May 10 2014The idea of producing large, luxury-vehicle hybrids is turning into a "what were they thinking?" exercise in futility, USA Today reports. General Motors is discontinuing hybrid versions of the Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon SUVs, while Mercedes-Benz and Toyota's Lexus division are doing the same with their S-Class hybrid and LS hybrid sedans, respectively. The culprit? Big price increases for fuel economy improvements that border on the unimpressive. Granted, the Escalade hybrid gets 31 percent better fuel economy than the standard version, but that still maps out to a combined fuel-efficiency rating of just 21 miles per gallon. That can be seen as a worthwhile increase, if it didn't cost over $8,000 extra. The 2014 Escalade Hybrid, for example, starts at $74,425 while the non-hybrid can be had for $66,295. Meanwhile, the Lexus full-size hybrid costs $6,000 more than the regular version but only gets 1-2 mpg better combined fuel economy. The result of all these high costs? Low sales. Through April, GM sold 82 of its hybrid SUVs and pickups, down from 541 a year earlier. And the LS hybrid sales were in single-digit territory for April. That isn't stopping Lexus from promoting its hybrids as the right solution (with the wrong facts), though. There are still automakers giving big hybrid vehicles a shot, though. Nissan's Infiniti division is selling a hybrid version of its QX60 and says an impressive 10 percent of QX60 buyers choose the hybrid, which costs just $3,000 more. Looks like money talks.
