Originally selling on June 14th 1997 at Barrier Motors in Bellevue WA, this SL has a clean CarFax and was a one owner vehicle up until May 2013. Now coming out of Gregg Prokop's private collection, the detailed history provided since new shows the impeccable service this roadster has received. Most recently, a synthetic oil and filter change this December, 2013. New front & rear pads, rotors, and sensors were installed, as well as a brake flush performed late October 2013...less than 100 miles ago. The mechanical functions of the engine, transmission, exhaust, suspension, braking system, and rear axle are leak free and operate as designed by Mercedes-Benz. Switches, gauges, lights, climate control, radio (including the external antenna), compartment covers, cupholders, hard top, soft top, and safety restraint systems all function as designed by Mercedes-Benz. There are no water leaks through any of the rubber seals on the hard or soft tops, windows, doors, decklid, or taillights. No warning lights of any kind illuminate after the roadster's engine has been started. The Michelin tires have greater than 75% tread remaining. Servicing has been completed since new at an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership and the history is available.

Having been accident free and garaged kept its entire life in the Pacific Northwest, the original paint and surrounding trim show as new with minimal wear. No fading, or cracking of the following and also show as new with minimal wear: interior materials (leather, carpet, and wood), the Haartz top (canvas soft top and rear plastic window), and all glass and plastic lenses. The engine compartment, door jams, wheel wells, and undercarriage, are free from lubricant or road grime build up as well as no salt corrosion being evident. A set of brand new stock wheels with center caps and a pair of brand new 40th Anniversary monogrammed floor mats were installed summer of 2013. These added to the pedigree of this SL which became a 1st place show winner, August 11, 2013 MBCA Seattle Section Show and Shine.

Mercedes dealers authorized to spend $2,500 on perks for S-Class customers

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

If you drop $100,000 on a luxury sedan, it seems only reasonable to receive some preferential treatment at the dealership you purchased from. After all, that price isn't just for the car - you're paying for the brand and all the cachet that entails. For Mercedes-Benz, those benefits have apparently been lacking relative to the German brand's luxury competitors.
That's set to change, though, as Automotive News reports that the German brand is placing a much greater emphasis on keeping its customers happy and loyal with its MB Select program. Starting with the new S-Class and spreading to the CLA-Class (and eventually beyond), dealers are being given money - up to $2,500 in the case of the flagship sedan - just to improve the customer experience.
We agree, improving the "customer experience" is quite a vague term, so it's nice that Mercedes USA's CEO, Steve Cannon, offered up some examples to AN at the LA Auto Show. For example, a customer couldn't fit his sunglasses into the overhead compartment. "So we bought him a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses that fit because of their shape," Cannon said.

Daimler buying 12% stake in Beijing Auto

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Daimler 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.

Mercedes Makes A Mighty Little Sedan
We got overexcited when the W203 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan came out in 2001, calling it the "Baby Benz" when it really wasn't. We knew that, too, but our enthusiasm for a model more like the old 190 of the '80s was so strong that we were willing to stretch the first-gen C-Class to fit that mold. Today, the C-Class has done what all German premium cars do: grown in size. In this case, grown to satisfy the market intentions of the previous E-Class.
There was the tall A-Class sold from 1998 through 2010, but we never considered that a serious small Benz in the proper spirit, nor was it ever offered in the US. Regardless, we've been craving a smaller, premium, sexy sedan all the while.
