Mike's Place is proud to offer this 2003 Mercedes SL500 Convertible. The MSRP on this vehicle was over $100,000. Here is your chance to own this car for a lot less. This SL has many great features such as a power convertible top, heated and cooled seats, wood trimmed interior, and more. The vehicle history report shows the mileage as accurate with absolutely no accidents reported. The title is 100% clean. This is a 2 owner Calif. car and has spent its entire life here in Sunny Southern California ............. No Rust! Many vehicles from other states experience a rather hard life dealing with harsh weather conditions. Rain, snow, hail, salt roads and cold weather cause all kinds of issues both mechanically and cosmetically. So a California car may appeal to you.


"Launch Edition"



Only 500 "Launch Editions" were produced by MBZ. Launch editions came in only 1 color, a pearl essence Silver/Green which turns different colors depending on the angle at which you look at it, truly beautiful, you just need to come see for yourself! A special Charcoal Leather interior with an ultra suede headliner and other special features to the interior including a wood steering wheel. Leather seats and shifter are embellished with Mercedes "Designo Logos".


High $$$ 20" Mod-Tech Alloys. 20"X10" with 275/30/zr20's on the rear, and 20"X8.5" with 245/35/zr20's up front. Nearly brand new matching Achilles Sport tires at all 4 corners!




The interior is in very good condition. The leather seats look very good. Both power seats function properly. The seats are heated and cooled. The dash is in great condition. All the gauges seem to function properly and the digital display looks great. There are no check engine light or warning lights on of any kind. All the wood trim along the dash and door panels look very good. I tried all the buttons located on the dash and door panels and everything seemed to function properly. The air conditioning blows ice cold and the heater works. The door panels are all in great shape and all the power windows work properly. The power convertible top functions properly. The radio works and the speakers sound great. There is a CD changer located in storage compartment behind driver's seat.



Unlike the 2002 and prior SL-Class, which had a fabric top, the 2003 version is equipped with a sophisticated retractable hardtop. At the push of a button, the car can transform from a roadster to a watertight coupe in just 16 seconds, and it ingeniously folds into a smaller package, stealing far less trunk room.

 

 
The exterior of the car is pearl essence Silver/Green. The body is straight and dent free. This is a rust free California car. The paint looks really nice and glossy. It has 20" Alloy wheels. Please check out the pictures to see condition of rims and tires. All the glass is in good shape with no visible cracks.

 
 
The engine runs strong with no smoke or funny noises and the transmission shifts nicely. Has brand new Mercedes battery. This would make a great daily driver. Please look at all the pictures and keep in mind that this is not a brand new car. Normal wear is to be expected.

    2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class interior caught in spy shots

    Tue, 29 Jan 2013

    With the redesigned 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class getting closer to production, the camera-wielding crew over at Autospies somehow managed to get inside of the car to snap some detailed spy shots. As the prototypes continue to shed camouflage, it would appear that Mercedes-Benz is getting closer to unveiling the car, and with the Geneva and New York auto shows coming up, it could be sooner rather than later.
    From what we can see of this car's interior, the overall look of the S-Class' cabin isn't a ground-breaking departure from the current car, but it has been completely redesigned with more advanced technology. The styling is now even more upscale with larger swaths of wood, more shapely door panels (without the built-in armrest cubbies) and the concept-like two-spoke steering wheel. The highlight of this car though is probably the two massive digital screens with one being used for driver information and the other used for navigation, audio and infotainment systems. One other detail we noticed about this car is that it was equipped with the new 360-degree camera that debuted on the new GL-Class and will also be used on the 2014 E-Class. We also know that the next-gen S-Class will be getting the new cloud-based MBrace2 infotainment system.
    As for the exterior design, it looks like the next S-Class will carry a similar profile as the current car, but we can see through the camouflage that the new styling will fit in better with current Mercedes-Benz products. Up front, the grille is much larger is flanked by aggressive LED-trimmed headlights, while the rear view of the car shows us the LED brake light now at the top of the rear window, a more pointed trunk opening and a more squared-off rear fascia with exhaust outlets pushed to the corners.

    Europe getting special Mercedes-Benz CLA Edition 1

    Mon, 11 Feb 2013

    Last week when we saw the leaked ordering guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, one particular image caught our eye showing the interior of the new sedan with a neon yellow stripe on the seats and yellow stitching throughout the cabin. As it turns out, this will be part of a limited-edition model called the Edition 1 about which Mercedes-Benz just released some information.
    Usually, automakers wait until later in a vehicle's life to introduce special models like this, but the Edition 1 will be available right out of the gate for the first 12 months the CLA-Class is on sale. The 2014 CLA-Class Edition 1 includes the more aggressive Sport package adding AMG-style fascias and wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights and a lowered suspension; it will be offered only in five colors - unfortunately, Northern Lights Purple is not one of them. In addition to the bright yellow cabin accents, the Edition 1 will get sport seats wrapped in leather and microfiber, a sporty, flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather and real aluminum trim on the instrument panel.
    With no mention of the US, we're only left to imagine that this car will not be arriving on our shores, but customers in Europe will definitely be able to enjoy the mean styling and funky interior with prices ranging from 35,402 euros up to 43,940 euros.

    Continental Automotive recalls 5 million airbag control units

    Thu, Feb 4 2016

    Takata isn't the only supplier having airbag problems. Rival manufacturer Continental Automotive Systems announced a recall of 5 million airbag control units fitted to vehicles from Honda, Fiat Chrysler Automotive, Mercedes-Benz, and even a certain Chrysler-based Volkswagen. This sweeping recall has actually been in progress for some time, although the exact scope is only now becoming evident. In October of 2015, Mercedes-Benz recalled 2008 and 2009 model year C- and GLK-Class vehicles because their Continental-made airbag control units could corrode. Such a condition could cause the airbags to deploy without cause or warning, or in the event of a crash, not deploy at all. You can read all about it in our post from last year. Now, Continental's recall is going wide. Alongside the already recalled C and GLK, you've already heard about the 2008 and 2009 Honda Accord airbag recall, which we reported on yesterday. Now, Fiat Chrysler is announcing the recall of the 2009 Dodge Journey, as well as the 2008 and 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler Town and Country, and their rebadged counterpart, the Volkswagen Routan. Yes, one manufacturer is recalling another manufacturer's vehicle. The models listed above only amount to about 580,000 vehicles out of 5 million bad airbag control units. And since Continental will notify manufacturers who will then issue their own recalls, it's extremely likely that more brands and vehicles will be ensnared. Stay tuned.
