Great condition 1990 Mercedes 300SL. Car has been regularly serviced and I will provide many service documents to the new owner.
This car was purchased at Barrett Jackson Scottsdale in Jan 2008 for 16,500, then flipped by a dealer at Barrett Jackson Palm Beach 2008 for over 18K.
It had about 98K miles at that point, and was brought by that private buyer back to the DFW area, where I puchased it last year.
The previous owner's receipts come with the car as well, I am sure some are missing, but I have over 7K of receipts from service at the local MB dealer Park Place, alone.
I also have a carfax that I will be glad to send to interested parties.
The only significant aftermarket changes are:
- Upgraded performance wheels and tires, tires were last replaced in 2011 and have seen little use.
- Cup holder replaced original CD holder in center console (I have the original CD holder, which will go with the car).
- Upgraded stero with a bluetooth compatible system, that will take aux inputs and has an integreated iphone/ipod carriage; system also has an amp installed. It sounds good, and is smart ergonomically.
- Has a European style backseat (aka jumpseat) installed. The Euro versions of this car came with this, but they were not approved by the US DOT. It is installed with seatbelts on this car (the US cars had the bolt holes in place for seatbelts), but can be folded down to be used as a package shelf. This is a US car, and the seat was installed aftermarket, and so comes with no manufacturer safety guarantee. If you don't want it, I will remove it and lower the price of the car.
All changes have been professionally made.
There are NO leaks, it blows no smoke, and everything functions, except what is documented here.
Here are the exceptions:
1) Passenger window won't go back up if sent all the way down, without using the auxilliary top button. I have a new switch for replacement (hasn't been installed).
2) Soft top plastic glass is about half-life with some fogging, so I purchased a replacement plastic window kit (hasn't been installed).
3) Cruise control doesn't work (probably the control unit, they fail commonly).
More Info: The soft top works well, up and down. The car starts, runs, and shifts reliably. The suspension is in very good condition, including recently installed Bilstein shocks.
This is not a typical beater R129. This can be a reliable daily driver, but is also a collectible - it is NOT perfect, but I will set this car against any other R129 body MB as far as condition and maintenance.
Also comes with the original matching hard top, which is in good shape, but has some wear on the headliner, and a small crack in the rear window (hard to notice).

2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec gets 33 mpg, priced from $38,950*
Tue, 30 Apr 2013It's been more than a year since we first saw the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec unveiled at the 2012 New York Auto Show, but it looks like the compact diesel crossover is finally starting to roll into dealerships. Those wanting to buy a diesel GLK will only have to pony up an extra $1,500 over a base, gas-powered GLK350, as the GLK250's starting price is listed at $38,590 (*not including $905 destination charge).
The turbocharged 2.1-liter four-cylinder diesel produces 200 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and Mercedes-Benz has also provided some fuel economy numbers for this model, with claimed EPA estimates of 24 miles per gallon city and 33 mpg highway. There is no listing for the GLK250 on the EPA's website yet, but the figures represent significant increase over the GLK350's lackluster 19 mpg city and 25 mpg highway figures, which are for the rear-wheel drive model. The GLK250 comes standard with the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system - a $2,000 option on GLK350 - meaning that if you want an all-wheel-drive version of the 2013 GLK, it's actually cheaper to opt for the diesel model. Head over to the Mercedes-Benz site for the full 2013 GLK-Class configurator.
Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept gets mobbed in China
Sat, 20 Apr 2013If the reception it received at the Shanghai Motor Show is any judge of marketplace acceptance, Mercedes-Benz has a hit on its hands in the form of the GLA Concept. And we can understand why - we're quickly becoming fans of Mercedes' recent styling language, as defined by new models like the CLA and this GLA Concept.
The big news on the exterior front are the headlamp clusters, which have frickin' laser beams attached to their foreheads embedded inside that are capable of projecting videos and images on a screen. Plus, a pair of video cameras are mounted on the roof that can be used to capture driving excitement or removed and taken with you. How cool is that? We just hope they have a substantial locking mechanism to prevent would-be thievery...
If the exterior is mostly ready for production, with a few of the more outlandish elements moved to the trash bin - like, for instance, laser-beam headlamps and removable action cams - the interior is a true custom job that screams concept loud and clear. There are all kinds of jewel-like finishes inside, along with transparent surfaces showing what looks like metal latticework underneath and some awfully thick looking leather with massive exterior stitching done by hand similar to what you'd find on a baseball glove.
Mercedes to roll out S65 AMG Coupe in July
Mon, 07 Apr 2014We're still a couple of weeks away from the public debut of the new Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe at the fast-approaching New York Auto Show, but already we're receiving word of an even more powerful version in the works. That, of course, would be the S65 AMG Coupe - the twelve-cylinder version of the latest S-Class Coupe, two-door counterpart to the S65 AMG sedan and replacement for the outgoing CL65 AMG.
Like the four-door version rolled out back in November, the S65 AMG Coupe would be distinguished from less powerful vehicles (which, lets face it, is just about everything) principally by its engine: a massive, 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 that produces 621 horsepower, 738 pound-feet of torque and cares as much about global warming as an oil-shipping mega-tanker.
Because Merc's 4Matic all-wheel drive system can't handle that much torque, the ne plus ultra coupe would (like the S65 sedan but unlike the S63 coupe) be offered only in rear-drive form. That means it will have that much more trouble getting the power down to the road, but since the Magic Body Control suspension is similarly incompatible with 4Matic, the flagship coupe will get that trick suspension.
