1998 Mercedes-benz Sl600 Base Convertible 2-door 6.0l on 2040-cars
Orange, California, United States
|
Being sold at NO RESERVE!!!!!!!!!
This car is as good as it gets. I bought the Mercedes about 7 years ago and it has been very reliable. I bought it with less than 22,000 miles and now it has less than 36,000 miles. It is fully optioned (the only two options were the Panoramic Roof and the Sports Package which added about $9000 to the MSRP. The total MSRP of the car back in 1998 was almost $130,000. The paint, interior and both tops are like new. The car runs and drives perfectly, like new and does not have any issues. There is not even a single door ding on this car. I would not hesitate to get in this car and drive it anywhere. The air conditioning blows cold and everything works as it should. Why am I selling it? Well, actually I really don't want to. The car is just too nice and I could never replace it with something as good. But I have been traveling a lot lately and I don't get to drive it enough. I have been back in town this month and I put about 800 trouble free miles on it. The car is pretty fast, with almost 400 horsepower but surprisingly, it gets decent gas mileage. I get about 23 mpg on the highway. Around town......not so much. I honestly don't think you will find a better example anywhere. I know, I looked quite a while at SL600's before I bought this one. I have babied the car in the 7 years I have owned it. I have only used Mobil 1 oil in it. The car has four nearly new top of the line Bridgestone tires. It has a 6 disc CD changer mounted in the trunk. One of the wheels has some road rash about two inches long on it but you would hardly notice it unless I pointed it out. And another wheel has some clear coat cracking which is not noticeable unless unless you put your face right up to it. If you bring a magnifying glass, you might find some other blemishes, but I promise you this, if you are looking for a 129 series SL600 (and 1998 is the best year to buy too), then you would be hard pressed to find a better one. The car is located in the city of Perris California. The other thing is that I traveling starting the second or third week of August. So I need to sell the car, collect the money and deliver it before August 10th. This is VERY IMPORTANT Being sold at NO RESERVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! So the car will be sold next week. If you bid, please sure you will be able to complete your end of the transaction If you have any questions, please send me a message and I will respond with in 24 hours. Thank you.

Clark Gable's 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing doesn't sell, then does sell for $1.85 million [UPDATE: w/video]
Sat, 19 Jan 2013How much extra value does previous celebrity ownership add to of a car? Really, there's no way to know until the car in question hits the auction block and bidders start raising their hands. In the case of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing you see above, the celebrity owner is none other than Clark Gable, who purchased it new. After Gable's death in 1960, the car changed hands a few times before settling with Charles Wood in 1975.
A high-dollar restoration was performed in 1989, and period accessories added by Gable himself were kept in place, including the Rudge knock-off wheels and Nardi steering wheel. Any Mercedes-Benz 300SL is worth a big chunk of money. In the case of Clark Gable's old Gullwing, the bidding stalled at $1.9 million here at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale. As one of the 5000-series cars, this 300SL carried a reserve, and a bit of after-the-fact dealmaking saw the car change hands for $1.85 million.

How could a lifted Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG be more awesome? Add an axle
Fri, 01 Mar 2013We are fully confident in saying that this will be the most amazing thing you see all day. First of all, it's a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen - in AMG spec, no less. And it's being shown off in high-definition video glory, blasting through the desert, jumping over sand dunes, and generally being awesome. But here's the kicker: It has six wheels. Three axles. And they're all driven. Holy $%!#.
Under the hood is AMG's usual 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8, and total output is rated at 536 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque. That's impressive and all, but do keep in mind that the G63 6x6 weighs in at 8,322 pounds or, you know, the weight of two E-Class sedans. Combine that with its 18 inches of ground clearance, 37-inch tires and five locking differentials and you've got a vehicle capable of, well, everything you've ever imagined or will ever imagine for the rest of your life.
But the goodness doesn't stop once you open the doors. Oh, no. This thing is fit for a king - or a sheik, more appropriately - with ultimately luxurious seating for four. The rear bench seat has been removed in favor of two bucket seats with a fixed console in the middle, and the rear seats have been moved back beyond the usual B pillar to allow for more legroom.
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.
