Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Overall good condition. Excellent mechanically. Exterior could use some limited cosmetic work. Interior in good condition for age."

Over $6,000 recently invested to bring mechanicals up to superb, trouble-free condition including chain rails (all receipts available). Mercedes-accredited technicians have performed almost all work throughout the car's entire life in Florida, Alabama and Georgia. Clean Carfax. No leaks, ice-cold air. All gauges and clock work, athough radio antenna has usual SL issue of not retracting. Brand-new Michelins and professionally reconditioned original wheels. Low miles for the year: 95,401 miles believed to be authentic. Black pearl paint with desirable light gray original interior and carpets. Interior in good condition for the age. Wood shifter console recently refinished. This two-owner Southern car has the optional rear seat. Radio with CD player was added by last owner, but original Becker radio goes with the car. First owner was in 80s when he traded car at a dealer, and maintenance book shows he had Mercedes dealers in Florida do all scheduled maintenance through 75,000 miles. Navy soft top in good condition with no rips or tears or loose stitching, although some limited discoloring in interior above side windows. Plastic windows are crystal-clear with no yellowing or cracking. Hardtop and stand come with the car. Hardtop paint and glass are excellent, with some discoloring on interior. Hard top trim pieces beneath rear window have some cracking and have slightly pulled away from frame in some areas (Florida sun?). Car had a professional respray in original color sometime in its history. Although great-looking from 6', paint could use some refreshing to address a few areas of clearcoat cloudiness. Nice condition for its age, but exterior has the usual minor nicks here and there, as well as three small areas of surface rust (see pictures). Overall, this is a beautiful example of the last year of the 107 body style and could be reliably driven daily if desired. I would be glad to answer any questions you might have. I love the car, but will be moving in a few weeks and it is just not practical to move three cars. Low, priced to sell reserve makes this a great opportunity for someone that wants a solid, good-looking SL that can be used as a daily driver or easily upgraded to an exceptional example of this desirable year vehicle.

How long will the 'golden age' of performance last?

Sat, Mar 26 2016

High-powered sports and luxury cars were everywhere at the New York Auto Show, prompting the obvious question for enthusiasts: How long will this golden age of performance last? Industry leaders have some time before regulations elevate the Corporate Average Fuel Economy level in 2025. Even then, they expect cars rippling with power to survive in some form. "Is it the end of an era," I don't think so," said Ola Kallenius, Daimler AG board member for Mercedes-Benz cars marketing and sales. "That performance element of individual mobility I don't think will ever go away." Kallenius, who oversaw the company's AMG division from 2010-2013, expects it to continue to grow. Last year, AMG sold a record 68,875 units around the world, an increase of 44.6 percent over 2014, with strong growth in the US, China, and Germany. Still, there's always the potential for gas to spike, and pending fuel economy regulations are looming. That could lead AMG to add electrification to its products, Kallenius said, pointing to the electric SLS as a test case. Chevy is also thinking ahead, said Al Oppenheiser, chief engineer of the Camaro. He wouldn't bite when asked about electrification for the Camaro (he did say "never say never"), but admitted in 2025 "it's going to be pretty tough to sell V8s." For now, things are rosy for muscle cars, and Chevy confidently showcased the 640-hp Camaro ZL1 in coupe and convertible form in New York. "I think that this is truly the golden age of performance," Oppenheiser said. It's hard to disagree. News & Analysis News: The 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF was a show-stopper in New York. Analysis: There was a palpable energy when this RF — for Retractable Fastback Â— was revealed the night before the show at a trendy off-site venue near the Hudson River. Even as a parade of SUVs and flashy luxury cars rolled out the rest of the week, the Miata remained a hot topic. The Retractable Fastback is really a clever targa top, with part of the roof stowing behind the seats, adding about 100 pounds compared to the standard convertible. It makes the car more practical and arguably more attractive. The RF continues Mazda's tradition of selling the Miata with a hardtop variant. The first and second generations offered a detachable one, and a power retractable hardtop (a $1,700 option) was available on third-gen models. Judging by its reception in New York, the RF could prove to be even more popular than its predecessors.

2015 MV Agusta F4 RC superbike debuts with AMG livery

Sun, Mar 29 2015

MV Agusta, the Italian motorcycle maker with 37 Constructors Championship trophies earned in Grand Prix racing, returned to the World Superbike Championship for the 2014 season. With one annual campaign under its belt, it has released the customer version of its racing superbike, the F4 RR. The street-legal version will come in two power levels depending on the exhaust: either 205.5 horsepower with the standard exhaust, or 212 hp with the 4-2-1-2 Termignoni race exhaust. At 386 pounds dry, the RC is about 33 pounds lighter than the World Superbike entrant, but it's still heavier than the competition from Aprilia, BMW, and Ducati. It is, though, a little more powerful than all of them in its full-fat guise. Compared to the RR, MV Agusta made changes to the RC that include a new cylinder head, crankshaft, and camshaft, larger fuel injectors and lighter pistons, a lithium-ion battery, and magnesium casings. Titanium connecting bolts affix a carbon fiber fairing done up in the AMG livery of the World Superbike ride. If you want one, act quickly and come strong: only 250 will be produced, at $46,000 a pop. If you're not that keen, there's a high-res gallery above.
