1990 MERCEDES-BENZ

500SL CONVERTIBLE

The car runs very well, handles great, drives like a dream, just as a Mercedes Benz should. Engine has had a recent full tune up and has lots of power!

It is remarkably quiet…even while driving with the top down!

Also, the catalytic converter has recently been replaced and the car has a beautiful, throaty V-8 exhaust tone. Just had a complete Mercedes tune up. Has 2 new rear tires too!

Comes with a Mercedes-Benz car cover. 4 speed automatic. Power top works as it should. Clear Nevada Title. Under 71k miles!

Car is ready to go with buying 2 new tires. Most of the items listed below would not need to be done to drive it away, they could be done in time and you'd have a mint car. We went over the car noting every inch of the car to point out every tiny detail, every tiny mar or spot, every imperfection that you would want to know so no secrets here!

Mercedes Emblem on the front has been glued in poorly there’s glue that’s squeezed out around the emblem that can be trimmed but it is glued in solidly. The Mercedes emblem on the hood is sun faded, some of the blue still shows. The lower air dam panel on the front bumper has some scuffs and paint missing where it’s probably been up against a curb. Overall the exterior paint is in excellent condition for its age, we don’t think the car has ever been repainted, it doesn’t show any signs of ever being in an accident or ever been repainted.

Haven’t done a Car Fax on it, but it doesn’t appear as though it’s been in a collision. There are a series of door dings on the outside on the passenger side, predominately along the passenger door, but there are one or two small ones in the rear quarter panel that you notice when the sun reflects on them.

WHEELS

The rear passenger wheel is missing the center cap, we have it but it’s not on the wheel, it won’t stay on. Both rear tires were recently replaced, less than 100 miles on them.

The front left wheel is the spare wheel, spare tire it’s a directional tire so it shouldn’t stay on the car for an extended period of time or be driven at high speeds because it’s not turning the proper direction of the tire tread. The car will need 2 new front tires ($450 estimate). The driver’s side tire has a split in the back of it so it won’t hold air.

The Windshield is in very good condition, windshield wipers work.

The car apparently was an Arizona car and appears it was left out in the sun with the top down at times as the sun has dried out some of the leather so the top edge of the windshield frame shows some dry rot. The vanity mirrors on the sun visors don’t work, they are glued shut probably because they broke and wouldn’t stay on.

The power windows work fine. The driver’s side power head rest will go up but it won’t go down, you can hear the motor running but for reason it won’t move down, it looks like it’s trying, but it just can’t do it. The outside edge of the driver’s side seat bolster has a large wear spot and there are quite a few cracks in the leather that would probably need to be repaired.

DOORS & CARPET

The interior door panels on both the driver’s and passenger side are in very good shape. The carpet’s in excellent condition, it doesn’t show any sign of wear, no stains, no tears found, it would look perfect with a shampooing. The speaker grill covers have some cracks in them, probably from the driver hitting them getting in and out. The driver’s door hinge will not let it stay open.

On the dash, the air bag light stays on, the light for the rollover protection system stays on even though the rollover protection system goes up and down properly, so it’s probably just a sensor. The burl wood around the shifter is a little weather beaten; it has a small surface crack and probably needs to be refinished. Because the battery was disconnected, the radio requires a code to unlock it which should be available from the Mercedes Benz dealer. The car has a Sony CD controller in the dash and a 10 disc CD changer in the trunk, haven’t tried the system because it also requires the code.

There is a tear in the leather of the rollover protection bar behind the passenger seat. The passenger leather seat is in good condition, could benefit by a cleaning/conditioning, no severe cracks or wear through the leather like there is on the driver’s side. The stainless steel panel the surrounds the leather on the rear deck is very good condition, cleans up nicely, is a bronze aluminum but more likely to be stainless steel. The wheels are in very good condition. The wheel that is off of the car has very little curb rash on the edge, nothing serious. You can hear the motor of the passenger head rest, but the rest doesn’t move up or down. The trunk area, the trim surrounding the power antennae is loose and has slightly rubbed the paint and needs to be secured. The switch on the dash doesn’t operate the antennae so it doesn’t work at this time. Overall condition of the trunk area is very good; carpet is great, no tears, and no dry rot.

The power top is the original convertible top, the fabric is in good shape, and the plastic windows are in good shape. The headliner inside the top needs to be replaced, it is dry rotted and torn , the webbing on the sides is dry rotted and coming apart and will need to be replaced. Power top works as it should.

The catalytic converter was recently replaced and a complete tune up was done on the car (receipts available), however when they replaced the rear tailpipe they didn’t bring it down far enough and it is singeing the plastic trim where the tailpipe comes out of the bottom of the bumper on the driver’s side.

Car comes with a Mercedes car cover. There is no keyless entry fob with the keys and we only have one ignition key to go with the car. There is no manual with the car. There is a clear Nevada title on the car.

Best 3rd Row SUVs of 2024

Wed, Oct 19 2022

If you plan on using a vehicle's third row a lot, let us at least make the suggestion that a minivan would be a smarter bet than anything you're going to see on this list of best three-row SUVs. Their third rows are bigger, more comfortable and easier to get to. The kids will definitely be happier. Here areÂ our two top choices.Â OK, now that that's out of the way, we totally get why minivans are totally depressing and that if the kids want to be happier, they can buy their own darn vehicle. You're buying, you're driving, you're being seen in it and you'd rather have a three-row SUV. Fair enough. Luckily, there are more choices than ever and they're really good. The best do a particularly good job of being family friendly without looking like a drab transportation appliance, although really, you can't go wrong with any of the mainstream three-row SUVs. Now, some of the luxury choices are a bit suspect, including those that are otherwise very appealing but have cramped third-row seats (theÂ Genesis GV80 comes to mind). We're focusing on three-row SUVs here, so having a usable third row is a must.Â Â In this list, we have broken things down into four sub-categories: Best Three-Row CrossoverÂ |Â Â Best Full-size Three-Row SUV Best Luxury Three-Row SUVÂ |Â Â Best Flagship Luxury Three-Row SUV Note that we define crossovers as SUVs since most buyers use the terms interchangeably, but acknowledge that "crossover" is literally a vehicle with a car-like unibody structure as opposed to the truck-like, body-on-frame construction that traditionally has defined "SUV." In other words, we consider all crossovers SUVs, but not all SUVs are crossovers (specifically those in the full-size segment and some in the flagship luxury segment). Best Three-Row Crossover SUVs of 2024 2024 Honda Pilot Why it stands out: Exceptional storage and cargo space; unique second-row functionality; refined ride; versatile and capable TrailSport; advanced AWDCould be better: Subpar acceleration with lackadaisical transmission and engine response; so-so driver assistance tech Read our full 2024 Honda Pilot Review The Honda Pilot was completely redesigned for 2023. It maintains its predecessor's family friendly packaging and overall focus, but it has injected a welcome sense of style (especially in the TrailSport pictured above) that makes it stand out much better from the big crossover crowd.

Mercedes C350e PHEV will start at 51,000 euros

Tue, Feb 3 2015

Mercedes-Benz will start selling its C350 Plug-In Hybrid in Europe next month, for a somewhat reasonable price. The Daimler division has announced the sedan will cost about 51,000 euros ($58,000 US). Which isn't insanely expensive by Benz standards. Mercedes first showed off the model stateside at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit last month, and the specs were pretty impressive. The car delivers a combined 275 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque from its gas-powered engine and electric motor. The C350 PHEV also offers a 112 miles per gallon equivalent fuel efficiency rating (using the more lenient European driving cycle) alongside a 0-60 mile per hour acceleration time of less than six seconds. And the car can go as far as 20 miles on electricity while reaching a top speed of 130 miles per hour. Both lead-footers and tree-huggers can rejoice at that. Americans won't be that far behind their European brethren, as the model will go on sale as a 2016 model-year version in the US this fall. In the meantime, for some more information on a sedan that we think qualifies as a bit of guilt-free fun, take a look at Mercedes's press release below. Sales release for the C 350 e: Future inside Stuttgart, Feb 02, 2015 Stuttgart – As a plug-in hybrid, the new Mercedes-Benz C 350 e combines an extraordinary level of efficiency, dynamism and comfort. In both its Saloon and its Estate guise, the performance of a sports car makes it a convincing proposition, especially combined with certified consumption figures of just 2.1 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres and a range of up to 31 kilometres in all-electric mode. Both the Saloon and the Estate model are equipped with air suspension and a pre-entry climate control system as standard, delivering a unique level of driving and climate comfort. The C 350 e is available to order now from 50,961.75 euros for the Saloon and 52,627.75 euros for the Estate (prices include VAT). Both vehicles will be at dealerships from March 2015. As a plug-in hybrid, the C 350 e combines a combustion engine with an electric drive system and a high-voltage lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 6.38 kWh, which can be charged from an external power source. Thanks to an intelligent on-board charging system, this takes approximately one hour and 30 minutes at a wallbox. A charging time of around two hours is achievable via a socket.

Mercedes completes production of G63 AMG 6x6

Mon, Apr 6 2015

Considering its 19-foot length, it sure was short-lived. A flash in the pan, really, in so far as a 4-ton beast could possibly be. But the Mercedes G63 AMG 6x6 is reportedly wrapping up its short production run this month. Based on a military variant of the legendary Gelandewagen but built for civilian consumption, the G63 AMG was – and will likely forever remain Â– the ultimate version of Benz's ultimate off-roader. It features six driven wheels on three axles with five differentials, all powered by AMG's stalwart 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8. Mercedes rolled out the 6x6 on all its half-dozen driven wheels barely over a year ago, and despite its half-million-dollar sticker price, demand soared. But after selling about 100 of them, the German automaker is putting it to pasture, ensuring its rarity in the annals of off-roader history. In its place, Benz will now begin production of the (relatively and slightly) less bonkers G500 4x42, which employs a tamer 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 driving a more conventional four wheels, and ditches the pickup short-bed for an enclosed wagon body-style, but keeps its eccentric big brother's jacked-up ride height. Those looking for the last word in power, though, will be more interested in the twelve-cylinder G65 that will now be coming to US dealers with a $200k+ sticker price. Related Video:
