Up for sale is a beautiful very low mileage 97 Mercedes SL500 Hardtop convertible with clean carfax report. This car is in exceptionally good condition mechanically as well as cosmetically.

 

Drivetrain:

Engine is in excellent condition with extreme amounts of torque throughout the rev band. It purrs like a kitten with no ticks or unwanted sounds etc. No check engine or any other warning lights on the dashboard. Cooling system has many new components such as waterpump and hoses etc. Cars was recently driven from St. Louis to Cleveland. Gets very respectible 26+ mpg on the highway. This car comes with a 5-speed automatic transmission which shifts great without any hesitation throughout all the gears. 97 is one of the best years to own an SL500 because of a rare option of the DOHC 32V engine combined with a very crisp 5-speed auto. Starting in 99, engine was changed to a SOHC with 3 valves per cylinder which is not as much fun as the DOHC engine.

 

Body:

This car comes with a hardtop as well as the retractable soft top. The hydraulic system that operates the soft top of the SL (R129 chasis number for this car) is complicated and is proned to breakdown and leaks. This will not be a concern with this car since almost all of the hydraulic system has been rebuilt with modern 21st century nitrile seals. These seals are much superior to the OEM seals that have a flawed design and usually start to leak after 10 years. From the factory, the total soft top operation should take about 18 secs and that is how long it takes for the soft top to retract on this car. The soft top operation system will not give you any issues for many years to come. The soft top on the vehicle is BRAND NEW and it looks very sharp with crystal clear windows. You don't have to be concerned about cracked or faded windows with this brand new top. The hard top is also in very great shape. With the hard top on the vehicle it is hard to tell if you are traveling in a convertible, this car can be used year around without any concerns because of the hard top. Body does have minor scratches which are to be expected for a used car. This car has XENON HID headlights.

 

Suspension:

Suspension on the car is in perfect condition. It provides the confortable ride that is expected of the flagship Mercedes model. Even though this car has over 300 horsepower engine, it is so comfortable that you really don't feel like driving fast too often. It is funny that I don't mind driving back home from work on this car at all as it feels like I am already home after getting in the car.

 

Brakes:

The brake cylinder and the booster have been recently replaced. All the encompassing systems such as ASR and ABS work perfectly.

 

Tires & Wheels:

Wheels are in excellent shape with no obvious curb rash etc. Of course car comes with brand new shoes. It has a complete set of brand new tires on all corners (less then 1K miles) and a brand new full size tire and the same wheel that you see on the car.

 

Other:

The instrument cluster lights have been upgraded to soft white LED lights which look very nice! The antenna has been rebuilt with a new mast installed. Car has a CD changer. The car has just been fully detailed and interior feels like it belongs in a brand new Mercedes. Did I mention that the soft top roof system has been rebuilt and this is a major cause of concern when purchasing Mercedes convertibles 10 years or older because they often don't work properly and the cost to have it repaired can run upwards of $5,000 at a non-dealer facility. Also included is a Hardtop lifting/storing solution which makes the hard top removal a ONE person 10 minute job and it stores the hardtop up in the air away from being dinged, scratched and damage and doesn't take up a lot of space in your garage.

Feel free to ask any questions you might have. I have plenty of more pictures of outside, inside, wheels. I can even take more pictures of any part of the body that you might be interested in. The car is priced to move and is right at book value for this car with these low miles. You can schedule to come see and test drive the car if you are in Cleveland or are close by.

Mercedes-Benz USA confirms relocation to Atlanta

Tue, Jan 6 2015

Porsche, you no longer have Atlanta to yourself. Mercedes-Benz USA has confirmed that it will be moving its corporate headquarters (shown above) from Montvale, NJ, to Georgia's most populous city. This is the second high-profile corporate relocation in the past year, as Mercedes follows in the footsteps of Toyota, which announced its relocation from California to Texas back in April (Subaru also announced a relocation, but it was just four miles away from its old offices). According to the German company, executives and their staff will relocate to an interim facility in the city's Central Perimeter until a brand-new, long-term home is completed in 2017. Around 1,000 employees will be impacted by the move, although Mercedes didn't mention if any employees would be let go as a result of the relocation. The company won't be abandoning New Jersey completely, as it will retain "several operational areas" in both Montvale and Robbinsville, NJ. As Mercedes USA CEO Steve Cannon explains, there are a number of good reasons for the company's relocation. "Atlanta is a premier city which places us closer to our ever-growing Southeast customer base, our port in Brunswick, Georgia, and to Mercedes-Benz US International, our Alabama manufacturing facility, which accounts for half of the vehicles we sell here in the US," Cannon said in a statement. "For our employees, Atlanta offers a strong quality of life, terrific schools and wonderful cultural and recreational opportunities." Mercedes-Benz USA Announces Move of Corporate Headquarters to Atlanta Several operational areas to remain in New Jersey including Parts Distribution Center and Regional Office January 06, 2015 - MONTVALE, N.J. Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) today announced that it will relocate its corporate headquarters to Atlanta, Georgia, in a move designed to better serve its growing customer base and strengthen the company's position for long-term, sustainable growth. MBUSA executives and staff will relocate from its primary facility in Montvale, New Jersey, to a temporary facility in Atlanta's Central Perimeter on an interim basis. The company will construct a new, state-of-the-art headquarters expected to be completed in early 2017. MBUSA plans to begin moving employees starting in July 2015. The move, which will affect approximately 1,000 employees, will be phased to help minimize any disruption to business operations. Several operational areas will remain in both Montvale and Robbinsville, New Jersey.

On Location in Switzerland and France in the 2016 Mercedes GLC

Tue, Aug 18 2015

Our first test drive of the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC was a flat-out European adventure. We spent two days driving through Switzerland and France, with a brief stop in Germany. The twisty roads took us through vineyards, farmland, and villages that are centuries old. The historic setting stood in contrast with the sleek, contemporary GLC. It's Mercedes' newest small crossover and replaces the GLK in the company's portfolio. While we soaked in the culture, we also got a taste of the GLC's abilities. This is not a simple refresh of the GLK. The GLC has delicate curves, a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and a new wave of Mercedes technology. The changes are sweeping, and the GLC looks and drives much differently than the edgy, V6-powered GLK. Admittedly, we liked the GLK's rough-hewn feel, though we warmed to the GLC's more subtle charm. This evolution may have occurred as we crossed the Alsatian region of France. Or maybe in Amsterdam, where we contemplated the GLC's merits and our travel plans for getting back across the Atlantic. Regardless, over the course of our trip we reached a conclusion: the GLC is more in-step with what today's consumers want in their crossovers. It took a long drive over some of Europe's oldest roads for us to arrive at Mercedes' new way of thinking. Related Video:

Mercedes-Benz Concept GLC Coupe comes to China ready to fight BMW's X4

Sun, Apr 19 2015

There's little denying that small crossovers are hot right now. Not only are automakers scrambling to exploit the popularity of the market, they're doing so by offering unique twists on the traditional two-box body style – enter the coupe-like four-door CUV. BMW, for example, has the X4, and now, Mercedes-Benz is bringing a challenger of its own. While it wears the concept name, the new GLC Coupe clearly foreshadows a production model that'll duke it out with the aforementioned BMW. If the vehicle shown above is any indication, when that fight happens, Mercedes will enter it with design on its side. The sheetmetal is muscular, with strong lines on the profile and the hood, while major themes in the front, back and sides are reminiscent of higher-end Silver Arrows. While we doubt the production GLC Coupe will be much of a trail bomber, fore and aft scuff plating is there to give the impression it can handle itself off road. Also, we feel obligated to give Mercedes bonus design points for the diagonally stacked quad exhausts at the back. It's worth noting that the Concept GLC Coupe's styling previews not one but two production vehicles, as it's logical to assume the design language featured here will have a strong influence on the next GLC (the crossover formerly known as the GLK). Not only will the GLC Coupe have aesthetics on its side, at 15.5-feet long and riding on a 111.4-inch wheelbase, it's larger than its rival from Munich, too, although only just. The X4 is two inches shorter overall and has an extra 0.8 inches between the axles. The Benz is wider, too, at 78.7 inches, compared to 74.1. Lending credence to the Concept GLC Coupe's production status, Mercedes released a pretty substantial array of technical details on its new four-door, coupe-crossover. With a twin-turbocharged, 3.0-liter V6 punching out 367 horsepower and 387 pound-feet of torque, we're betting this would be the AMG Sport variant, rather than your everyday GLC. 4Matic all-wheel drive is a must-have in this segment, and it's present here, while a nine-speed automatic transmission is responsible for distributing power. The Concept GLC Coupe will be shown this week at the 2015 Shanghai Motor Show. Check back then for more. Mercedes-Benz Concept GLC Coupe The next coup Stuttgart / Shanghai. In a flowing transition, Mercedes-Benz lands the next coup: the Concept GLC Coupe is a near-production-standard study that carries the successful GLE Coupe formula over into a more compact segment.
