         We purchased this a few weeks back from a dealer we deal with in Hilton Head S.C.  ...When we got the car it drove out well as it was and could tell it had been maintained as it should.. The A/C was nice and cold and it went through all the gears nice and smooth..



          As you can tell from some of our photos we keep SL s and SLC s in stock, I enjoy the cars because they are rugged yet dependable and still look as cool as they did in the 70's and 80's..When we got the car we knew that there was a clerical error at some point and the carfax reads mileage inconsistently,This usually happens when the odometer stops working (this one works fine)..Not sure what happened and its not a big issue to us as its a 29 year old car..


           The car went to service for an inspection and really all it seemed to need was an oil change so that's all we have done to it..The car cranks  as it should and tracks down the road well, The steering box and rack feel tight and doesn't wander..These are expensive if they need replacing..

            Both of the power windows work smooth and don't get stuck or need any help going up and down..The cruise control works well, the A/C as stated earlier is fine, the clock works.. Sorry about the radio it's an aftermarket cd player, I am a factory type guy but it is a clean installation..
           Mechanically the car sounds great and does't have any odd noises coming from anywhere throughout the car..


          The tires are in excellent shape and have plenty of tread on them..Usually I will have the wheels separated from tires and have them properly resprayed but these are like new..I believe the car to be a several year old respray of the entire car because the paint is in excellent condition, The paint seems to be a base/clear job and there are virtually no imperfections..A very high quality job was done on the car..All of the moulding and rubber gaskets and such were replaced or removed before painting..There is no over spray on the outside of the car whatsoever..The rocker panels are clean and don't seem to have any rust in the common places..There is a small section under the left front body trim that shows about a tic- tac sized spot of rust right above the trim piece..Not worth repairing if you were to ask me..The undercarriage is nice and tidy and seems to not have been abused.. There is a slight bit of seepage coming from the oil pan area but the car as been on pavement for two weeks and there is nothing dripping on the ground..Also the the under hood mat is brand new..Probably installed by the previous owner..


            The soft top seems to have barely been used..We put it up after hosing it down to soften and stretch it out and about ten minutes later it was simple to put up and down..Never force any soft top that you think has been down any length of time..They could stretch and tear, So hose them down and wait for it to relax and become soft again..Just a tip from old guys back in the day..Course I'm only 38..The hardtop is in great shape and needs nothing..Very easy on and off, Nothing is warped...



              Even though the car seems to have been resprayed nothing leads me to believe it has ever been in an accident, The body lines on every corner are correct as they should be..All of the stainless is in nice shape and the chrome on the bumpers is nice also..There is a very very small ding in the middle of the bumper on the rear on the top...The trunk is nice and tidy and comes complete with factory spare with tire as well as all tools along with caution display placard for an emergency...The dash has the smallest crack near the bezel that you can imagine..I tried to take a close up of it..This is not a dash cover..The wood is shiny and completely intact..The chrome around the wood is all there and not frayed or warped..The seats are in excellent shape with very little wear on the bolsters..They have not been redone..They are the original leather..


               Overall this is a nice above driver quality car with virtually no issues to speak of..It can driven daily if you were to ask me..They are reliable cars anyways..Yes this a double cam chain car for those who weren't sure about the 84's..I appreciate the opportunity to do business with those of you who have read this...Chris

                We have priced the car to what we believe is fair for the buyer and the seller, Because it is less than others doesn't reflect the condition of the vehicle..We are realistic as to what a car like this is really worth in today's world..

                Car is not for sale locally while it is on E-Bay, Or outside of E-bay (please don't ask)..
               
                If anyone needs quotes on shipping please e-mail me your zip code  

                If you have any questions please feel to call also...I am a car guy also....

Mercedes has already booked 30k orders for new S-Class

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

When Toyota snags 30,000 Corolla orders over a three-month span, it's entirely possible we're in the midst of a global economic collapse and that the end is nigh. That's because the scale for Toyota is so very large. Mercedes-Benz, on the other hand, operates on a much smaller scale, particularly when we talk about its higher-end models, like the S-Class.
In 2012, Mercedes sold 65,000 of its flagship sedans in Germany and the EU. That's 178 units per day, for 365 days. Based on that, you can imagine the excitement at Stuttgart when it accepted 30,000 orders for the new S-Class in just three months. That's an average of 333 per day on a continent with a notoriously shaky economy. Now, admittedly, this enthusiasm could wane as the refitted S-Class becomes more common and Mercedes achieves market saturation in Europe's many chauffeur and livery services, but Mercedes isn't choosing to look at it that way.
"The new S-Class has already jumped back into the lead in terms of new vehicle registrations in Germany and its neighboring European countries," Mercedes-Benz head of sales and marketing, Ola Kaellenius, said in a statement last week.

10 electric cars we’re excited are coming soon

Thu, Sep 22 2022

If you were considering buying an electric vehicle a couple years ago, we wouldn't fault you for thinking your options were limited, both in terms of quantity and quality. You just might not have been able to find an electric car that would suit your needs, lifestyle or budget. With the newest generation of EVs that have launched in the past year or two, your options have changed — and improved — dramatically. If you still don't see an EV you like, just wait a little while longer. It won't take long. There are a whole lot more on the horizon, and the problem may soon be in narrowing down your options. To give you an example, here are 10 electric vehicles we're excited about that you'll be able to buy very soon, from GM, from Germany, from Japan and more. Some of these will be available by the end of the year, and all are expected to launch by the end of 2023. The Chevy trio: 2024 Blazer EV, Equinox EV and Silverado EV GM is stepping into the future with strong footing. Following high-end electric launches from GMC (Hummer EV) and Cadillac (Lyriq), Chevrolet is bringing three electric vehicles with familiar nameplates. The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV (above left) will offer a number of versions, starting with the 2LT and RS trims in the summer of 2023, followed by the 557-horsepower SS in the fall and the base 1LT in early 2024. The 2024 Chevy Equinox EV (above right) will go on sale in fall 2023 as a limited-edition model, with volume sales ramping up in 2024, with a base cost of “around $30,000.” For those who prefer a bed to a liftgate, the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV is an electric pickup that looks more like the old Chevy Avalanche than the current Silverado. The WT (work truck) trim launches in fall 2023, while the 664-horsepower RST will follow in 2024. Read more: 5 new electric car companies coming in 2023 and beyond 2023 BMW i7 BMW revealed the all-electric 2023 i7 luxury sedan alongside the gas-powered 7 Series. It should go on sale before the end of 2022. The i7 xDrive60 will be the only variant, with its two motors providing a total of 536 horsepower and 549 pound-feet of torque, and its battery expected to offer a range of about 300 miles. Just like its internal combustion counterpart, this full-size sedan wonÂ’t come cheap, with the i7 starting at $120,295. 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Following the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Genesis GV60, the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 will be the fourth car using Hyundai GroupÂ’s E-GMP electric car architecture.

Mercedes-AMG gears up for 2016 DTM with new C63 Coupe

Wed, Sep 16 2015

Mercedes was once a force to be reckoned with in DTM. The Silver Star marque won six drivers' championships and nine constructors' titles since the modern Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters series rebooted in 2000. But though it's currently leading the standings, the last time it won the championship was in 2010. Audi and BMW have traded bragging rights each year since. What you see here, then, is the vehicle by which Benz hopes to recapture its former glory in the German tin-top racing series. Presented alongside the Edition 1 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the new touring car is based – stylistically at least – on the new C63 AMG Coupe, but is designed specifically for the race track. Underneath the largely carbon-fiber bodywork sits a 4.0-liter V8 engine driving 483 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque through a six-speed sequential gearbox to the rear wheels. It's suspended by pushrod-actuated by double wishbones and features a mechanical diff (but no traction control) and carbon-ceramic brakes (but no ABS). In short, the new C63 is all business. And it looks about ready to take on Germany's most famous racing circuits and those of some of its neighbors – from Hockenheim, the Nurburgring, and the EuroSpeedway Lausitz to Zandvoort, the Red Bull Ring, and the Moscow Raceway. Audi and BMW had better watch their mirrors. Mercedes-AMG DTM Team present 2016 race car - Looking ahead to the 2016 season: How the new DTM car fielded by the Mercedes-AMG DTM Team will look - Inspired by the DTM: AMG launch Edition 1 Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupe - Five questions to Head of Mercedes-AMG DTM Ulrich Fritz - Overview: How Mercedes-Benz DTM vehicles have evolved - Ulrich Fritz: "Our aim with this vehicle is, of course, to continue the Mercedes-Benz success story in the DTM." The 2015 DTM season reaches its climax in September. But even before the final three race weekends of the year at Oschersleben, the Nurburgring and Hockenheim, the Mercedes-AMG DTM Team are providing an insight into what lies ahead for the race series, revealing the new car that they will enter for the 2016 campaign. Design adaptations to the 2016 Mercedes-AMG C 63 DTM first began last year. The dynamic-looking headlights and the twin blade grille typical of the AMG are two of the car's most striking features. The first tests with the new vehicle will take place during the winter as part of preparations for the 2016 season.
