This 1959 190SL was owned and maintained by the previous owner for over 25 years before I purchased it two years ago. The car is completely solid. The floors, inner fenders, and chassis have been cleaned and painted body color. I realize this is historically incorrect, but there is not thick undercoating hiding rust or rust repairs like many of the other 190s I have looked at. This car was a solid and clean example before any restoration began. I have over 25 years worth of receipts from my ownership as well as the previous owners for this car. The motor is in excellent running condition, makes excellent oil pressure (60psi at warm idle, pegs the gauge off idle), and can be driven away with confidence. I do not hesitate to drive this car out to dinner or out to car shows. It performs as it should around town and at highway speeds. The engine has been sorted and tweaked by a well known marque specialist. His contact information is available to serious buyers if you would like to consult with him on his impressions of the car. The M121 engine wears a pair of Weber Carburetors which make for easy starts and reliable performance. The car was also recently fitted with the smaller, lighter, high torque Bosch SR58X starter, installed with the correct factory spacer ring. The generator was freshened by a local specialist at the same time. The car has a correct water pump with servicable bearings installed. I also recently had a correct mechanical fuel pump with external primer handle rebuilt with a fresh diaphgram installed. The ignition system was rebuilt with Bosch components wherever possible. Many new items have been purchased from my local dealership, the Mercedes Benz Classic Center, and other specialists. Parts include the steering wheel, horn ring, air intake boot, hose clamps, windshield, brake components, fuel hose, and many others. The brake master cylinder as well as all of the wheel cylinders were rebuilt and all brake adjusting fiber washers were replaced with genuine Mercedes Benz parts. Underneath the car, things like tie rods, suspension bushings, and joints have also been replaced. All greaseable points in the suspension have been serviced regularly. The car includes both tops. The black soft top is in excellent condition. The matching small window hardtop has recently been fitted with a new headliner. The interior of the car is in excellent shape with fresh leather and german square weave carpets. The car has a couple of blemishes which I have done my best to photograph. In the passenger side rear quarter panel there is a long scratch which has been touched up. In the passenger side lower front fender there is another scratch which has also been touched up. One of the headlight rings has a small ding in it. The passenger side rear bumper over-rider has a dent in it and the plating has flaked, so some corrosion has developed. It could be straightend and rechromed. I have not attempted to repair, repaint, or buff the scratches on the car. They were on the car when I purchased it. When kept clean and waxed they are not very noticable, and a professional may be able to minimize them even further. Also, the rear window rubber seal on the hardtop shows some cracking from age. This car is in very nice condition mechanically as well as cosmetically. The car has won several trophies at local cars shows during my ownership of the car. The car brings attention, smiles, and starts conversations wherever it goes. This is a car you can drive and enjoy as you continue to make it an even better car. I have driven and enjoyed this car
and look forward to meeting you and discussing the car. I encourage in
person viewings of the car. Please read the whole ad before contacting

Mercedes forced to lower MPG ratings on two C300 models *UPDATE
Wed, Oct 1 2014*UPDATE: Donna Boland, manager of corporate communications at Mercedes Benz USA, told AutoblogGreen that the sticker change only applied to around 500 C-Class vehicles on dealer lots, since a new C-Class came out in late August. "About 500 are left in the United States, and we've relabeled them," she said. First Hyundai, then Ford and now Mercedes-Benz. The list of companies that have had to change their vehicles' official EPA fuel economy ratings has just grown by one with the announcement that the 2013 and 2014 C300 4-Matic FFV and PZEV versions need to have their EPA labels adjusted. The changes aren't massive, at most one mile per gallon. The changes aren't massive, at most one mile per gallon, but they are lower than before. The FFV version goes from 20 to 19 mpg in the city while the PZEV drops one mpg across the board from 23/20/29 combined/city/highway) to 22/19/28. The FFV's combined (22) and highway (27) ratings stay the same. Other Mercedes vehicles that were spot checked turned out to have accurate labels. The problem, which is reminiscent of the issues that Ford had with the Total Road Load Horsepower, was that "Mercedes underestimated the impact of aerodynamic drag and tire rolling resistance known as 'road-load,'" the EPA said in a statement you can read below. We have asked Mercedes for more information on the issue but have not yet heard back. We're not sure how many vehicles the EPA is retesting (or asking to be retested), but the agency says that the C300 models were evaluated again by Mercedes "with EPA oversight" and the EPA did its own tests at the National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory in Ann Arbor, MI. Christopher Grundler, the director of EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, said that the EPA knows that the changes are minimal, but that, "it is important that our oversight system is producing the correct results because even one MPG matters to consumers." In case you need a primer in the recent history of companies adjusting their EPA numbers, check out this and this. Based on today's news, we won't be surprised to hear more changes are coming. EPA Requires Mercedes-Benz to Correct Fuel Economy Labels for Two C300 4-Matic Vehicles WASHINGTON - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is revising estimates for two 2013/2014 Mercedes C300 4-matic vehicles, the FFV and PZEV, to ensure consumers are given accurate fuel economy values.
2020 Aston Martin DB11 tops this month's list of discounts
Thu, May 7 2020When we drove the Aston Martin DB11 for the first time, we said that it "stands out" and that "it delivers on the promise of Aston's potential for a successful second century." But we also said, "There must be a reason to buy the Aston beyond the fact that it turns heads at the country club." In case its stunning good looks and 600-horsepower 5.2-liter twin-turbo V8 weren't enough to grab your attention, how about a discount of nearly $20,000? Right now, buyers of the 2020 Aston Martin DB11 are paying, on average, $182,435. According to data provided to Autoblog from Truecar, that's a discount of $19,385 from the British coupe's average suggested retail price of $201,820. That's the largest discount on a new car in America this month, based on the dollar amount off the car's sticker price. The next biggest discount is for the 2019 Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Buyers of the German brand's range-topper are scoring an average discount of $13,816. While that's a much smaller number than the DB11, it represents 13.5% off the S-Class's average retail price of $101,151 versus the 9.6% discount of the Aston Martin. In fact, the Benz's percentage discount means it's the eighth-best deal in America overall. If you favor a different flavor of German luxury, the 2019 Audi A8 isn't far behind with an average discount of $12,701 representing 12.5% of its $101,762 average sticker.
