Enjoy summer driving with this beautiful example of a late model 560SL. The car is in excellent condition both inside and out. The interior trim looks great and the paint and body look like new. No dents or dings. Both the Hard Top and the Convertable top are in great condition and the plastic window on the Convertable top is perfectly clear.
The car has recently undergone a major tune up, which included a brand new, California legal Catalytic Converter, new Bosch Platinum 4 Spark Plugs, New Bosch Spark Plug leads, new Rotor, new EGR valve, new Alternator, new Air Filter and new Power Steering filter. Also a Transmission Fluid and filter change (with new rubber gasket) and an engine oil change.
This car has been a daily driver for several years and has been mechanically excellent and completely reliable. Although the car has 191K on the odometer, in 2006, I replaced the engine (due to the timing chain stripping the timing gear) and also the tranmission with low mileage, used replacements. At the time of replacement, the car had 184, 701 miles on the odometer.
There are a couple of small problems with the car.
1. Some wear on the driver's seat. 2. Two cracks on the black dasboard (most cars develope this because of the sun) 3. Slight wear on wooden panel near the transmission lever. 4. Odometer broke two weeks ago. A simple, cheap fix, but since I am selling the car, I didn't fix it. SPEEDOMETER works perfectly!
This truly is an excellent example of this classic 1980's Roadster, and I joy to drive.

2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Now Even Sharper Than The Razor's Edge
There have been five Black Series models since the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Black Series introduced itself to European audiences in 2006. Following that, the Black Series club has hosted appearances by the 2008 CLK63 AMG Black Series, the 2009 SL65 AMG Black Series and last year's 2013 C63 AMG Black Series. The sixth member of the group is one we would have thought already was a Black Series car in its standard guise. Right out of the box, the SLS AMG is loud, frenetic, cozy, boisterous and frightfully easy to oversteer. How much more Black did it need to get?
Quite a bit so, apparently. The SLS AMG Black Series has lost weight, gained power and been refitted with upgrades and aero bits from front to rear. If you liked the way it looked before, you'll probably be an even bigger fan of this one. If you thought it looked ungainly, well, this one should stay even further away from pageants. Regardless of where you come down this is the best SLS AMG variant we've driven.
New Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe spied in revealing state of dress
Tue, 19 Feb 2013During a product briefing earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz told us that 2013 would be the "year of the S-Class." Makes sense, too, since the flagship Mercedes is so very close to finally showing its production-ready face. But the high-tech saloon isn't the only S-Class to talk about this year - quite the contrary. Seen here in decidedly revealing camouflage, the new S-Class Coupe will be joining its four-door compadre in the not-too-distant future, as well.
When it launches, the S-Class Coupe will officially do away with the CL-Class nomenclature. This doesn't come as a huge shock. After all, when the new E-Class coupe and convertible were launched, it officially marked the end of the long-running CLK-Class designation.
Thanks to the interesting camouflage seen here, we have a very good glimpse at how the S-Class Coupe will look when all of the molding and swirly paper are peeled off. Rakish body lines pulled from the CLS-Class meet a much more dynamic front fascia. Out back, there are horizontal taillamps rather than the vertical units used on the current car, and the whole package seems very svelte. Our spy photographer even posits that this will be "the best-looking car from Mercedes-Benz in ages."
Daimler buying 12% stake in Beijing Auto
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Daimler and Beijing Automotive are officially going steady, with the German company set to take a 12-percent stake in the Chinese brand tomorrow. The two are already tied up in a Mercedes engine plant in Beijing, of which BAIC will increase its stake in, from 50 to 51 percent. Daimler will also get two seats on the Chinese company's board. BAIC may also gain the ability to produce cars on Mercedes-Benz platforms, according to Automotive News Europe.
The investment in BAIC comes ahead of that company's initial public offering, according to a report form Bloomberg, which indicates the deal will be inked tomorrow in the Chinese capital. According to the report, if the circumstances are right, BAIC may turn around and invest in the Germany company "soon."
It's not entirely clear just how much the 12-percent cut is costing Daimler, although it seems reasonable to assume that, as it's ahead of the IPO, the parent company of Mercedes is getting a bit of a bargain.
