1988 Mercedes SL560 Roadster

The car was purchased new by my father on 11/15/88 for my mother for her 70th birthday from Ray Catena in Edison, NJ. The 1988 Mercedes SL560 Roadster came optioned in Pearl Grey exterior paint and Burgundy Leather interior, with a Navy Blue soft top. Additional Equipment added at the date of purchase was a factory Mercedes Hardtop, a $2,400 option in 1988. (Wow) Original MSRP was $56,305. My mother used the car for occasional trips to the club for golf, or out to dinner. It spent most of the first two decades of its life in a heated garage in NJ. When my mother downsized her home, she offered me the car. I have had it for the last 7 years and have driven it from time to time. I take it to town every now and again, but to be frank no one drives it much any more. Mechanically it is a solid car. The car has never been in an accident, or has had any major mechanical problems. I get it inspected yearly, and keep it fully insured in case I feel like driving it, so the brakes and fluids have been maintained. Tires are good, no major cracks or dry rot and they have roughly 70% tread life left. Since the car sat for many years, the soft top looks brand new, the car sat with the hardtop on it, the Navy blue is as pretty as the day my father brought it home. I mentioned there are two small cosmetic blemishes on the car, above the drivers side molding on the front right quarter panel there is minor surface rust, and then on the rear passenger side rear fender there is a small dent and surface rust on the trim.

This is really a great car, it drives well is with the hard top off, and the top down it would be a great car for someone to enjoy. With my kids grown and mostly out of the house, my husband and I just don't need it and feel it should go to a home where it will be driven more than 2,000mi/year.

Again I don't have to sell the car, so please refrain from low ball offers as they wont be entertained, and frankly you're wasting your time and mine. But all reasonable offers will be considered. I've made sure to take plenty of pictures of the car to best showcase its very good condition. I didn't however get a chance to wash it before I took the pictures, so I apologize for the dust.

I have all the original paperwork, including bill of sale, owners manuals, tool kit, etc and a clean and clear title in hand.

Happy Bidding.

Wards names its 2015 10 Best Interiors list

Fri, Apr 17 2015

Wards Automotive has named the winners of its 10 Best Interior awards, covering a wide but affordable array of vehicles. Where last year's list contained two six-figure vehicles, including the $372,800 Rolls-Royce Wraith, this year's is, well, a whole lot more reasonable. The publication lists the Mercedes-Benz C400 at $65,000 (which seems off), making it the most expensive vehicle here. That said, we'd argue that the entire C-Class line deserves to make this year's list, owing to its varied and high-quality selection of materials. The other vehicle to break the $60,000 mark, meanwhile, is the $60,675 Ford F-150 King Ranch, which has 327,000 pounds of leather lining its interior. Only one other German car, the BMW i3, and one other pickup truck, the GMC Canyon, managed to make this year's list. Here's the full list of this year's winners: 2014 BMW i3 ($52,550) 2015 Chrysler 300C Platinum ($51,175) 2015 Ford F-150 King Ranch ($60,675) 2015 GMC Canyon SLT ($40,465) 2015 Honda Fit EX-L ($21,590) 2015 Jeep Renegade Limited ($33,205) 2015 Kia Sedona SXL ($43,295) 2016 Mazda6 Grand Touring ($33,395) 2015 Mercedes C400 ($65,000) 2015 Nissan Murano SL ($41,905) See what we mean about the mainstream vehicles? Not only is there a distinct lack of luxury brands, it's the price of some of the vehicles that surprise. The Honda Fit, Jeep Renegade and Mazda6 are very reasonably priced, especially when you compare Wards price with the starting price. The Renegade Limited starts at less than $25,000, the Mazda at less than $22K and the Fit at under $16,000. Head over to Wards for a more detailed explanation of why each vehicle won.

2015 Bahrain F1 Grand Prix puts a dark horse in the desert [spoilers]

Mon, Apr 20 2015

Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen had said after Malaysia that Ferrari can challenge Mercedes-AMG Petronas purely on pace, beyond the scope of tire wear, in the dry. We didn't see that in China, where Lewis Hamilton easily kept everyone behind and Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel only got close to Mercedes' Nico Rosberg when Rosberg slowed down to conserve his tires. But the Iceman's words seemed prescient during qualifying for the Bahrain Formula One Grand Prix. At the front, nothing has changed so far this year: four races, four pole positions for Lewis Hamilton. Instead of teammate Rosberg next to him, though, he'll look over to see the scarlet Ferrari of Vettel, who took advantage of Rosberg's cautiousness to snatch second place on the grid. In Q2, Rosberg tried to conserve the tires he'd start the race on and said he couldn't get into a groove in Q3, putting in a time 0.147 seconds slower than Vettel. The second Silver Arrows will share his row with the second Ferrari, Raikkonen – yet again Â– saying he might have left some time on the table during his hot lap but getting around just one tenth off Rosberg's time. Williams is established as the best of the rest behind two teams this year instead of just one last year, Valtteri Bottas claiming fifth ahead of Felipe Massa. Daniel Ricciardo of Infiniti Red Bull Racing said he wants to fight with the Williams', he'll be helped with a good start off the line for the first time this year. Nico Hulkenberg got Force India into Q3 for the first time since the Italian Grand Prix last year and into eighth on the grid, ahead of Carlos Sainz in the Toro Rosso and Romain Grosjean putting in another excellent day's work for Lotus. Come race time, it turned into Mercedes power against Ferrari strategy. When Sky F1 commentator Martin Brundle talks about the Mercedes-AMG Petronas team he often mentions how their engine advantage leads to other advantages throughout the car. Not having to use aerodynamic changes to make up for power unit deficiencies, for instance, means they can run the aero setup they want, which optimizes speed and tire wear throughout a lap. It equates to advantage on top of advantage on top of advantage. That's where Lewis Hamilton is right now, so fundamentally dialed in to his car and his racing that he run the races he wants to run. From the front spot, the Brit ripped off another perfect start and led the field into Turn 1, relinquishing the lead only during pit stops.
