For sale is a Mercedes-Benz 560SL with only 61,800 original miles!
This car is beautiful inside and out, is completely accident free and has never been smoked in with a clean Carfax. It has always been garaged and received extraordinary care throughout its life as is obvious from any inspection.
The original Signal Red paint looks stunning and is still deep rich and shiny with absolutely no dings, dents or damage.
The chocolate brown convertible top is new and is from the original German manufacturer. The hard top, with stand and original cover has only been on the car a few times since the car was new. It is in like new condition and comes with the Mercedes Benz stand and original cover.
The oil has been changed religiously every 3000 miles since new.
The Palomino tan leather seats, carpets and carpet mats are all as new and were replaced at great expense with original German materials.
The dashboard is original (not the commonly used cheap restoration cover) and is perfect and free of any cracks or fading.
The burl wood console was just refinished by Madera Concepts in Goleta California. . .a company that refinishes many of the winning Pebble Beach concours cars.
All original documentation is included as shown in the trunk photo to include all original showroom hangers etc. Even the original leather Mercedes key fob is still unopened in the plastic sleeve it was delivered in.
This 560sl has an updated Mercedes radio and also comes with the original stock unit.
The a/c blows ice cold and the steering is very tight. Everything including the clock functions perfectly.
I purchased this car from the original owner. This 560sl drives exactly as you would expect from a low mileage classic Mercedes-Benz. This is a very honest and beautiful original car...the only surprises with this car will be pleasant ones!!

2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA priced from $31,300*
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Mercedes-Benz has kindly let loose the price of the 2015 GLA-Class, telling Autoblog.com that the base 208-horsepower GLA250 in two-wheel drive will go for $31,300 *not including a destination charge of $925. That makes for $32,225 in total to get one off the lot, a price predicted as early as last year and in our recent First Drive. The other two available models can push power to all four wheels, and after the destination fee is applied the GLA240 4Matic (pictured) will be $34,225 while the 355-horsepower GLA45 AMG will change lives and wallets to the tune of $49,225.
On the base scale, that puts the GLA250 just a few hundred dollar bills above the more powerful, rear-wheel drive BMW X1 and a stack of hundreds below the less powerful, front-wheel drive Audi Q3. If you're keeping in-house score, the GLA250 comes in at $1,400 above its sedan platform-mate with the same engine, the CLA250. At the high end, however, the competition doesn't have anything that can touch the AMG trim. Not that it should matter all that much - Mercedes needed something to keep these buyers in the family, and now they have it. If any of them should need even more power and more money spent, then there's always that 394-hp Brabus flavor. We'll have more info and details on each trim when Mercedes unleashes the shebang in the not-too-distant future.
Mercedes testing C-Class plug-in hybrid modes in Germany
Wed, 07 May 2014Testing appears to be underway for what would be the first Mercedes-Benz C-Class with a hybrid powertrain. We can see a pair of the prototypes undergoing testing in Germany, with one, a C-Class Wagon, still heavily clad in camouflage and featuring a more noticeable outlet on the passenger side of its rear bumper.
There's also a more production-looking sedan, which features a not-so-discreet flap over its rear-bumper outlet. It's difficult to speculate on power outputs for this fuel-sipping C-Class, although our spies seem to think that this car will feature some combination of a four-cylinder gas engine with an electric motor, although just which four is unclear (note, we wouldn't mind if MB fit its 2.0-liter turbo with some batteries and motors). Regardless, the four-pot/electric motor seems like a pretty reasonable combo, although it probably means that Mercedes won't be challenging the six-cylinder-powered system of the BMW ActiveHybrid3 any time soon.
When the plug-in C-Class arrives later this year as a 2015 model, it will likely offer a full range of driving modes, including both gas or electric, only, as well as a more traditional hybrid mode.
Mercedes says it's tops in luxury sales for 2012, not BMW
Tue, 19 Feb 2013It turns out that Mercedes-Benz North America has legitimate claim to being the top selling luxury nameplate in the US in 2012.
While sources such as Autodata had put BMW in the top spot, registration data from R.L. Polk shows that Mercedes customers registering new vehicles topped the Bavarian automaker in the most recent calendar year. Polk says Benz posted 274,123 registrations, compared with BMW's 268,498.
In terms of sales posted, BMW had bested Benz 281,460 to 274,134. But sales are recorded somewhat inconsistently from automaker to automaker. Some book the sales as soon as they are shipped from factory to dealer. There is perennial gamesmanship between the two German rivals, and the sales numbers suggest that BMW pushed out some extra sheetmetal to dealers in the last four weeks of the year.
