1992 Mercedes 500sl Beautiful Condition, Perfect Color Combo, Wow! on 2040-cars

Here is a great chance to buy a well maintained 1992 500SL. These cars are becoming harder and harder to find in good condition because people don't want to spend the money to fix them properly. The R129 SL built from 1990-2002 is by far the best built and most usuable, comfortable and safe SL ever built. Unlike the wonderful R107 SL which it replaced, the R129 is modern and fresh and can be used as an everyday driver, not just a toy like the R107. The seats are very comfortable and incoporate the seatbelts into the seat. In the unlikely event of a rollever an rollbar automatically deploys if it detects a wheel that has left the pavement, making this car very safe, and in a rollover, a survivable accident. The rollbar can be electrically raised as well. The best feature about the R129 is that it was the first Mercedes SL to have an automatic top. The previous R107 was manual and people rarely bothered to put them down because of this. The R129 is well insulated and at highway speeds is still quiet. Every R129 SL has 10 hydraulic cylinders that work the top and one that works the Rollbar. Hydraulics at somepoint in their lifespan will leak. And they all do and then need to be rebuilt or replaced. The parts alone are around $3500 plus labor. Everyone of the cylinders has been professionally rebuilt with new seals and the entire hyraulic system flushed with new fluid. So the top works flawlessly and you can expect many years of use from this top with no problems. Another weakness on R129 SL's are plastic trim pieces that break, as in rearview mirrors which are electric and dome lights and they can cost a fortune. Hence people letting these cars deteriorate and eventually junked. The 500SL is the most reliable of all the R129. It has a reliable 4 spd automatic transmission. The 300SL 6 cyl cars came with a 5spd manual or 5spd automatic and the automatics were extremely unlreliable and difficult to rebuild or even at this point to find a replacement. They were also prone to expensive headgasket leaks. The 600SL was a complete overkill. Beautifully crafted on the interior with leather on every surface, but cursed with a adaptive suspension which lowered or raised the car depending on speed. Usually failing and ripping the front bumper when parked. All Mercedes built between 1993-to early 1996 have wiring harness problems, and must be checked or you will be in for a devasting repair bill. When it comes to a R129 its best to do your research or you can have a car that can go from love to hate quickly. This car has a beautiful interior with soft leather, a VDO CD radio and and aux imput for plugging it in to your phone for music. The car has four brand new tires and is ready to go anywhere. Please keep in mind this car is 22 years old. It is not new do not expect a car at this price to be new. I have tried to describe it as accurately as possible, I encourage anyone to come and test drive and you will instantly fall in love. Please call Michael with any further questions.

Race Recap: Singapore Grand Prix is about a safety car and submission
Mon, 23 Sep 2013The Singapore Formula One Grand Prix is the Monaco GP of the Orient - a weekend known more for its glamour and time-slot than on-track action, with a temporary circuit that punishes every mistake, usually terminally.
Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas got the best of Free Practice 1, opening the curtain on a possible resurgence of Silver Arrows performance. By the time qualifying was done, though, it was his teammate Nico Rosberg who lined up second on the grid, followed by Romain Grosjean with a beautiful performance in the Lotus, Mark Webber in the Infiniti Red Bull, and Hamilton all the way back in fifth. Behind them were Felipe Massa outqualifying Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button getting the McLaren into eighth, Daniel Ricciardo with another good Q3 effort to get into ninth, and the shocker of Esteban Gutiérrez getting his Sauber into the top ten for the first time this year.
At the front of the pack was Sebastian Vettel. Again. But he was only ahead of Rosberg by a single tenth of a second...
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.
New details emerge on forthcoming Mercedes-Benz SLC
Sat, 02 Feb 2013Last we heard, the Mercedes-Benz SLC had been put on indefinite hold, but now Car Magazine is reporting that the Porsche 911-fighting "Baby SLS" coupe could be on sale by 2015. Riding on a modified SLS AMG chassis, the smaller and lighter SLC could be priced in the sub-$100,000 price bracket.
We'd already heard that the new car would feature conventional doors (instead of SLS-like gullwing doors), but this report focuses on some of the possible powertrains Mercedes-Benz is likely to use. At launch, the SLC could offer a pair of V8-powered models - a 485-horsepower SLC and a 585-hp SLC S - both being powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. About a year after launch, a new V6 model could emerge giving the SLC an estimated 333 horsepower and its lowest price point.
It also sounds like the car's name hasn't been completely finalized as some people within Mercedes are favoring a return of the SLR name.
