FOR MORE ON MY ME AND MY PHILOSOPHY RE: SELLING VEHICLES ON EBAY PLEASE READ ON:
AFTER PURCHASING AND SELLING MANY OF THESE VEHCILES ON EBAY - I WOULD OFFER THE FOLLOWING ADVICE "CAVEAT EMPTOR" (LET THE BUYER BEWARE)! MANY OF THE VEHICLES OFFERED FOR SALE HAVE MISLEADING PICTURES AND DESCRIPTIONS ! MANY ARE BEING SOLD BECAUSE THEY NEED REPAIRS (SOMETIMES MAJOR) AND YOU CAN RALLY GET BURNED!
LOW MILEAGE IS NOT AN IDICATION OF THE VEHICLE'S CONDITION, AS MANY LOW MILEAGE VEHICLES HAVE NOT BEEN WELL CARED FOR. HIGHER MILEAGE VEHICLES IN GOOD CONDITION ARE OFTEN GOOD BUYS. THE ENGINES AND TRANSMISSIONS ON THESE "PANZER WAGONS" ARE GOOD FOR 500,000 MILES BEFORE ANY MAJOR SERVICE IS REQUIRED.
IF YOU CANNOT INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND/OR ARE NOT TERRIBLY KNOWLEDGEABLE YOU ARE TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON THE SELLER'S DESCRIPTION AND EBAY RATINGS. BUYING FROM A DEALER CAN OFTEN BE PROBLEMATIC AS THEY TEND TO LEAVE OUT IMPORTANT DETAILS ABOUT THE VEHICLE'S CONDITION.
THEREFORE IT IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO CHECK OUT THE SELLER'S EBAY RATINGS-BOTH THE NUMBER AND THE QUALITY OF FEEDBACK.
I AM ARETIRED PHYSICIAN AND MY HOBBY IS REFURBSHING 56O SL'S. ANY NEEDED MECHANICAL REPAIRS ARE SUBBED OUT TO MY EXPERIENCED GERMAN MB MECHANIC. LIKEWISE MAJOR UPOLSTERY ISSUES ARE ALSO SUBBED OUT. I FOCUS ON THOSE ON THOSE RELATIVELY "NIGGLING ISSUES" THAT TEND TO BE QUITE EXPENSIVE WHEN PERFORMED IN A REPAIR SHOP.
MY PHILOSOPHY IS SIMPLE- "PURCHASE A QUALITY VEHICLE AND PERFORM ALL NECESSARY REPAIRS TO A POINT WHERE I WOULD KEEP IT FOR MY PERSONAL USE." ANY ITEMS NEEDING ATTENTION ARE FULLY DISCLOSED.
ABOUT THE 560 SL:
PRODUCTION OF THE "107" BEGAN IN 1972 AND TERMINATED IN 1989 WITH THE 560 SL. MERCEDES THUS HAD 17 YEARS TO CONTIUOUSLY IMPROVE THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN DUBBED "THE PANZER WAGON" BECAUSE OF IT'S WORKMANSHIP AND DURABILITY.
THE 560 SL WAS PRODUCED FROM 1986-1989 AND IS CONSIDERD TO BE THE MOST POUPLAR AND COLLECTIBLE. WHEN THE LAST VEHICLE WAS PRODUCED IN 1989 IT SOLD FOR $64,000 (1989 DOLLARS), SO ONLY THE VERY WEALTHY COULD AFFORD THEM.
BECAUSE OF THEIR EXTREME DURABILITY AND TENDENCY NOT TO RUST THERE ARE STILL PLENTY OF THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AND THEY ARE QUITE AFFORDABLE.
IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF SPORTS CAR HISTORY WRITTEN 50 YEARS FROM NOW THESE LATE MODEL 560 SL'S WILL BE WRITTEN IN AS THE LAST OF TRULY ELEGANT SPORTS TOURING CARS FROM MERCEDES BENZ. THESE CARS ARE SIMPLY STUNNING! AND WHILE NEW CARS ARE STILL WONDERFUL BY TODAY'S STANDARDS, THEY ARE ALL DESTINED TO THE JUNK YARDS WHEN THEIR COMPUTER SOFTWARE IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED BY THE FACTORY. THESE SUPERBLY CRAFTED MOTORCARS WILL CONTINUE TO BE ROAD WORTHY DUE TO THEIR PURE MECHANICAL SIMPLICITY. A GUY AWITH ASET OF TOOLS AND A SHOP MANUAL WILL ALWAYS BE AROUND TO WORK ON THESE GEMS FROM MB, MUCH THE SAME AS CARS FROM THE 20'S AND 30'S ARE REBUILT AND MAINTAINED SO SIMPLY TODAY. THE PAINT ON THESE CARS FROM THAT ERA WILL OUTLAST THE NEW PAINTS 10 TO 1.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A TRUE FUN WEEKEND CAR WITH COLLECTOR APPEAL ONE OF THESE CARS MAY BE FOR YOU!

Mercedes-Benz C-Class named 2015 World Car of the Year
Thu, Apr 2 2015It's been a good morning for Mercedes-Benz, with three of the company's wares taking home awards today at the New York Auto Show. The 2015 World Car of the Year awards have just been announced, and the charming new C-Class sedan has taken top honors, beating both the new Volkswagen Passat and Ford Mustang. But Car of the Year isn't the only award Mercedes received this morning. Here are the other World Car announcements, where M-B was honored two more times. World Performance Car of the Year: Mercedes-AMG GT World Luxury Car of the Year: Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe World Green Car of the Year: BMW i8 World Car Design of the Year: Citroen C4 Cactus Congratulations, all around, to this fantastic group of cars.
Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG coming to the New York Auto Show
Tue, 05 Mar 2013Mercedes-Benz showed off the CLA45 AMG at a private event on the eve of the Geneva Motor Show, but was determined not to let it be photographed. We can talk about it, though - after all, a teaser image was released to promote the new Sony game Drive Club. The CLA45 AMG will use the same powertrain as the A45 AMG, which means a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. And that means a small four-door coupe sedan with the highest horsepower-per-liter in the segment. It will shift through the same seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, should also run out of speed at 155 miles per hour and have that three-stage stability control system.
As with its hatch sibling, the CLA is already so aggressive on the outside - and the parent company so anxious not to demolish the sedan's 0.22 coefficient of drag - that not much has been done to the cranked-up CLA. Even the rather thin tires on the standard only get a little less thin on the hotter variant. Inside will be the telltale AMG signs, with lots of red detailing and that flat-bottomed wheel among the giveaways. We'll know more later this month when the wraps come off at the New York International Auto Show.
Meet Buster, this 1968 Porsche racecar transporter from Mercedes
Thu, Dec 11 2014If you're thinking about Porsche and Mercedes-Benz when it comes to motorsports, your first thought is probably on the two German brands battling on the track. However, for decades, whenever Porsche's factory team went to compete, a custom Mercedes was right along with them hauling the racecars. These days the truck lives in the Brumos Collection in Jacksonville, FL, and goes by the nickname Buster. However, its story goes back to 1968 when Porsche ordered two commercial vehicles from Mercedes and then handed them over to a Stuttgart-based outfitter for customization. The results were these racing transporters that hauled models like the 917 and 956 until the '80s. The other survived, too, with a place in Porsche's collection. Well-known racers in their own right, Brumos scooped up the transporter in 2003 and have kept driving it to vintage racing events. The interior now boasts the signatures of many of the great drivers from the era of this historic truck. Watch the video for the whole story on the Mercedes with a whole lot of Porsche inside.
