LOW MILEAGE, ONE OWNER 1993 Mercedes Benz 500sl roadster convertible with removeable hard top.
I bought this one owner Mercedes at the Ocoee Forida Auto Auction in early February 2003. A Florida Mercedes dealer, from Sarasota, was selling the car for the original lady owner. She had the exact same car in New Jersey and this car was kept ,in the garage, at her Florida home, near Sarasota. The lady was lucky enough to be able to spend half the year in New Jersey and half in Florida, with a red Mercedes 500sl at each home. How sporty is that??????
The afternoon I bought this car, I drove the car home to Charleston, SC. I did see 135mph on the speedometer while flying thru Georgia on I-95. WWhat was I thinking? I was having a serious driving experience, most guys dream of !
What a sensational automobile to drive!
I bought this Mercedes on my SC dealer's license and I have the original one owner Florida title to convey to the next owner.
The next week I had a severe stroke on February 9, 2003. I have not driven since that day, hence the few miles added since the purchase in Ocoee!
Within a few days of my stroke, on Feb 9,2003,the Mercedes was driven inside my warehouse, stored there and started regularly and driven periodically, on sunny days, to keep everything mechanical functioning properly.
A few months ago, George and Pete, drove this 500sl out of the arehouse, at my towing company, to take photos for this ebay listing Sadly,I am not able to drive and enjoy this fabulous Mercedes and need to sell it to help pay medical bills not covered by insurance.
While taking photos, removing the hard top and attempting to raise the convertible top, the top locking hydraulic cylinders, inside the windshield frame, started leaking fluid.
I had the car transported, on one of my rollbacks, to Star Motor Service (843 571-1628 Axel Reinhardt, (owner). Star Motors is the best independent Mercedes repair facility in Charleston, SC.
Axel replaced all the convertible top hydraulic cylinders in the windshield frame and the cylinders at the rear of the convertible top mechanism and repaired a problem with one of the electrical connections on the top mechanism. The car was serviced and checked from bumper to bumper to be certain everything was OK from being stored, for so many years, inside my warehouse.
In the process of raising and lowering the convertible top, the driver side rear convertible top vinyl quarter window split slightly, probably due to being in the down position for 10+ years. Some clear plastic tape was put over the split. (see posted photo).
That split vinyl window is the only flaw on this totally original 20 year old Mercedes 500sl that has spent half its life stored inside my dry warehouse in Charleston, SC.
I am posting a few photos, but I have many more. If you are serious about buying this fabulous automobile, call me and give me your email address and I will emaill you all the photos of the car inside & out, the engine, inside the trunk and all angles of the car's exterior, interior and under side, taken while on the lift. The photos you see posted on this listing and those I email you, were taken today, Friday, February 15, 2013.
The first posted photo was taken in my driveway, at my home, Feb 6, 2003 (10+ years ago), 3 days days before my stroke.

Mon, 19 Aug 2013LA To The Grand Canyon In The Mercedes-Benz Of RVs
Piloting an 8,500-pound motorized house down the highway is far from my idea of fun, yet inexplicably, I'm enjoying myself. My grin has nothing to do with my camper's handling, as this heavily accoutered Mercedes-Benz Sprinter drives like a 25-foot long breadbox. My smile has nothing to do with on-road stability, as the ten-foot-tall, slab-sided vehicle reacts to wind gusts like the vertical stabilizer on a Boeing jet. My delight has nothing to do with its throttle or braking response, either, as both are as numb as your forehead after the eighth beer.
This monstrosity makes me happy for one reason - my passengers are undeniably having a good time.
Paul di Resta returns to DTM with Mercedes
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Some drivers manage to make the transition from one form of motor racing into another, and some run into trouble. Take Paul di Resta, for example. The promising young Scottish driver dominated Formula 3 racing in Europe in 2006, then moved over to Germany's hugely competitive DTM touring car series where he finished second in 2008, third in 2009 and first in 2010. But things didn't go as smoothly for Paul - cousin to retired Indy champion Dario Franchitti - when he moved in to Formula One with the Force India team.
In three years on the grid, he failed to score a single podium finish. Little surprise, then, that Force India opted not to renew his contract for this season. Left without a ride, di Resta is now going back to DTM with longtime supporter Mercedes-Benz, testing the new C-Class touring car today in Portugal. It's good news for Mercedes, which is celebrating 120 years in motor racing this season and, with 2005 champion Gary Paffett also on board, can now count two former champions on its DTM roster.
We wouldn't count Paul out of F1 for good, though. When he won the DTM title four years ago, he was also moonlighting as Force India's test driver, and we wouldn't be surprised to see him pull similar double-duty with the Mercedes F1 team (or another Benz-powered outfit) this year before spring-boarding back into grand prix racing in the future. At 27 years old, he may not have been the youngest driver on the grid this year, but he's still got a good few years ahead of him.
Missouri Mercedes dealer offering free Smart with every SLS AMG purchase
Wed, 05 Dec 2012The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT is an exquisite sports car that probably needs no help flying off dealer lots, even with a starting price of almost $200,000, but Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City has come up with an interesting incentive to sweeten the deal. For buyers who purchase a new SLS AMG from dealer stock before the end of the year, the dealership is throwing in a new Smart Fortwo from its inventory at no charge... with a required coupon no less.
In addition to being a great tactic to get a little free press, the spare car also makes sense as an alternative to the SLS, which measures more than 15-feet long - almost twice the length of a Fortwo - and has a 563-horsepower engine that sucks down gas at the rate of 13 miles per gallon in city driving (and even that's provided you don't give in to the devil on your shoulder). Plus, at the end of the day, this really isn't that big of an incentive. Being given a slow-selling $12,490 car for the purchase of a model starting at $199,500 represents about a six percent incentive, which is along the lines of a $1,900 rebate for a $30,000 car.
To get the free Smart, just visit the Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City Facebook page, redeem the coupon and then go buy yourself a new SLS AMG. Congratulations!
