Great condition 1990 Mercedes 300SL. Car has been regularly serviced and I will provide many service documents to the new owner.
This car was purchased at Barrett Jackson Scottsdale in Jan 2008 for 16,500, then flipped by a dealer at Barrett Jackson Palm Beach 2008 for over 18K.
It had about 98K miles at that point, and was brought by that private buyer back to the DFW area, where I puchased it last year.
The previous owner's receipts come with the car as well, I am sure some are missing, but I have over 7K of receipts from service at the local MB dealer Park Place, alone.
I also have a carfax that I will be glad to send to interested parties.
The only significant aftermarket changes are:
- Upgraded performance wheels and tires, tires were last replaced in 2011 and have seen little use.
- Cup holder replaced original CD holder in center console (I have the original CD holder, which will go with the car).
- Upgraded stero with a bluetooth compatible system, that will take aux inputs and has an integreated iphone/ipod carriage; system also has an amp installed. It sounds good, and is smart ergonomically.
- Has a European style backseat (aka jumpseat) installed. The Euro versions of this car came with this, but they were not approved by the US DOT. It is installed with seatbelts on this car (the US cars had the bolt holes in place for seatbelts), but can be folded down to be used as a package shelf. This is a US car, and the seat was installed aftermarket, and so comes with no manufacturer safety guarantee. If you don't want it, I will remove it and lower the price of the car.
All changes have been professionally made.
There are NO leaks, it blows no smoke, and everything functions, except what is documented here.
Here are the exceptions:
1) Passenger window won't go back up if sent all the way down, without using the auxilliary top button. I have a new switch for replacement (hasn't been installed).
2) Soft top plastic glass is about half-life with some fogging, so I purchased a replacement plastic window kit (hasn't been installed).
3) Cruise control doesn't work (probably the control unit, they fail commonly).
More Info: The soft top works well, up and down. The car starts, runs, and shifts reliably. The suspension is in very good condition, including recently installed Bilstein shocks.
This is not a typical beater R129. This can be a reliable daily driver, but is also a collectible - it is NOT perfect, but I will set this car against any other R129 body MB as far as condition and maintenance.
Also comes with the original matching hard top, which is in good shape, but has some wear on the headliner, and a small crack in the rear window (hard to notice).

2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4Matic [w/video]
Wed, 20 Feb 2013Maybe you saw our recent blog snippet on a bunch of US journos getting pulled over in the middle of nowhere in Catalunya, Spain for driving a bunch of new 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG models. By all accounts, they weren't speeding - which makes me softly guffaw. I was there in that group, yet I had taken the more direct route into the mountains from Barcelona so that I could... well, so that I could go faster. No one hassled me and I had the Autovia all to myself. And it was the goodniks - the team players - who got nabbed because Spain had decided to suddenly enforce the never enforced "must carry an international driver's license" clause of the highway code.
The departing E63 AMG with 518 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque from its M157 5.5-liter biturbo V8 hasn't exactly been poorly received. It isn't as crisp as, nor as pleasantly evil as its C63 AMG kid brother, but we generally accept that the heavier and larger car will always feel, well, heavier and larger.
As part of the 2014 E-Class mid-cycle redesign, Affalterbach decided to give its E63 AMG more power and torque for the occasion. The base car now gives off 550 hp and 531 lb-ft, while the hotter S version I tested (formerly the AMG Performance Pack) produces 577 hp and 590 lb-ft. The other big novelty is that E63 sedans will be available with both rear- and all-wheel drive, while all US-spec E63 wagons will be 4Matic equipped.
Erebus Motorsport Mercedes E-Class V8 Supercar completes the field [w/videos]
Sat, 23 Feb 2013Ford, Holden and Nissan introduced their V8 Supercar challengers a while back. Erebus Motorport, whose racing program got the green light not even 120 days ago, has finally shown off the Mercedes-Benz E-Class racer that will complete this year's field of entries. The first AMG race car ever to be built outside of Germany, it's an Australian-built tube-frame chassis specced to the series' Car of Tomorrow rules, fitted with body panels that channel the E63 AMG.
Supported by AMG Customer Motorsport, the 5.0-liter engine is provided by HWA in Germany, the racing arm of AMG. Regulations dictate that it have roughly 650 horsepower, a redline between 7,000 and 7,500 rpm and a torque curve that matches the parity baseline set for all cars.
Lee Holdsworth, Tim Slade and Maro Engel will drive the three team cars, each with different sponsors. Their first showing will be at the Clipsal 500 on March 3 in Adelaide, here in the US we'll get to see them in May at the Circuit of the Americas. Check out the videos below of the Erebus car starting up at its launch, and footage of all of this year's cars doing pre-season testing on track together.
Aston Martin and Daimler continue talks on SUV project, CEO required
Tue, 01 Apr 2014The Aston Martin Lagonda SUV concept revealed at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show didn't earn the plaudits the company is used to when it reveals new models, and it has lived an uncertain life ever since. Thought to have been scrapped along with the entire revival of the Lagonda brand, then thought to have been resurrected due to Chinese, Middle Eastern and Russian demand, another year passed before we heard more definitive talk about an Aston Martin expansion when AutoCar reported that the Lagonda could be built on one of Mercedes-Benz's AMG SUV platforms.
A report in Automotive News Europe indicates plans have gotten serious, its unnamed sources saying that the English carmaker is talking to Daimler "to extend their cooperation to building an SUV." Neither Daimler, Aston Martin nor Investindustrial, the managing partner among Aston Martin's ownership consortium, would comment. But with Investindustrial having pledged to expand the range, competitors like Bentley, Maserati and Lamborghini getting into the SUV racket and clear demand from current and future customers, it's easy to believe Aston Martin is working hard to put the pieces together.
One further potential bump on the road to an Aston SUV is the company's search for a new CEO. Ulrich Bez relinquished to top spot at the company at the end of 2013, and Aston reportedly will not finalize its model strategy without a new CEO in place.
