1998 Mercedes-benz Sl600 Base Convertible 2-door 6.0l on 2040-cars

Year:1998 Mileage:35803
Location:

Orange, California, United States

Orange, California, United States

Being sold at NO RESERVE!!!!!!!!!
 This car is as good as it gets.  I bought the Mercedes about 7 years ago and it has been very reliable.  I bought it with less than 22,000 miles and now it has less than 36,000 miles.  It is fully optioned (the only two options were the Panoramic Roof and the Sports Package which added about $9000 to the MSRP.  The total MSRP of the car back in 1998 was almost $130,000.
The paint, interior and both tops are like new.   The car runs and drives perfectly, like new and does not have any issues.  There is not even a single door ding on this car.  I would not hesitate to get in this car and drive it anywhere.
The air conditioning blows cold and everything works as it should.
Why am I selling it?  Well, actually I really don't want to.  The car is just too nice and I could never replace it with something as good.  But I have been traveling a lot lately and I don't get to drive it enough.  I have been back in town this month and I put about 800 trouble free miles on it.
The car is pretty fast, with almost 400 horsepower but surprisingly, it gets decent gas mileage.  I get about 23 mpg on the highway.  Around town......not so much.
I honestly don't think you will find a better example anywhere.  I know, I looked quite a while at SL600's before I bought this one.  I have babied the car in the 7 years I have owned it.  I have only used Mobil 1 oil in it.
The car has four nearly new top of the line Bridgestone tires.
It has a 6 disc CD changer mounted in the trunk.
One of the wheels has some road rash about two inches long on it but you would hardly notice it unless I pointed it out.
And another wheel has some clear coat cracking which is not noticeable unless unless you put your face right up to it.
If you bring a magnifying glass, you might find some other blemishes, but I promise you this, if you are looking for a 129 series SL600 (and 1998 is the best year to buy too), then you would be hard pressed to find a better one.
The car is located in the city of Perris California. 
The other thing is that I traveling starting the second or third week of August.  So I need to sell the car, collect the money and deliver it before August 10th.   This is VERY IMPORTANT
Being sold at NO RESERVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!  So the car will be sold next week.  If you bid, please sure you will be able to complete your end of the transaction
If you have any questions, please send me a message and I will respond with in 24 hours.
Thank you.

I received this question today and provided the following answer:

Do you have a buy it now price?
Paint and body panels factory?
Any rust on body or undercarriage?
California car all it's life?

No thought on a buy it now price
Car has never been in an accident and all paint and bodywork are original
The car is as clean on the bottom as it is on the top. No rust anywhere on the car.
Look at the picture of the engine - it has never been cleaned. it just stays that nice.
I bought the car in Chicago and drove it home. I looked for two years for "the right" car and this was it. It was owned by a rich doctor who only drove it in the summer time. He sold it to me with 21,000 miles on it 7+ years ago. It was not cheap for me but I wanted the best and I didn't want any problems. And that was I got.  The car's title was transferred to his trust (for tax purposes I am guessing) which is why it shows multiple owners on the report
If you are asking about rust........you would be thrilled with the condition of the car. It is like new.
Good ones don't come up for sale like this very often and the good ones are usually sold through networking or clubs.
Best of luck bidding

Mercedes-Benz killing Maybach in 2013, replacing with S600 Pullman

Fri, 25 Nov 2011

According to an unnamed Mercedes-Benz source speaking with AutoWeek, the German automaker is killing off its Maybach line in 2013.
The unsurprising news comes after the brand was resurrected in 2002, but failed to meet sales expectations with its two core models, the Maybach 57 and 62. Further solidifying its fate, a deal with Aston Martin to aid in the development of future Maybachs fell through earlier this year.
According to the AutoWeek insider, the plan is to continue to sell both Maybach models through the end of 2013, after which the fifth-generation S-Class will go on sale. When that happens, three new variants of the S-Class will be available, including an all-new, range-topping S600 that brings back the Pullman moniker and may be better suited to competing with the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce.

Rare Isdera Imperator 108i flexes its considerable muscles

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

The Isdera Imperator 108i is a remarkably rare supercar from the late 80s and early 90s. Born of a Mercedes-Benz concept car, it's powered by a range of AMG-developed V8s, with five to six liters of displacement, depending on the engine. The example shown here, lapping the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit, features the most potent 6.0-liter V8 available. And rather than just being driven about on a perfectly clean racing line, it's freaking power sliding!
Yes, there's something eternally childlike about a wedge-shaped supercar from our formative years being flung about a Belgian racetrack. Adding to the appeal is the Imperator's stumpy, periscopic rear mirror, sticking out of the roof. Even after being out of production for 20 years, this is still a wild, wild car and we'd happily snap up the opportunity pilot one of the 36 Isderas that were built. Take a look below for the full video from Spa.

New Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe spied in revealing state of dress

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

During a product briefing earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz told us that 2013 would be the "year of the S-Class." Makes sense, too, since the flagship Mercedes is so very close to finally showing its production-ready face. But the high-tech saloon isn't the only S-Class to talk about this year - quite the contrary. Seen here in decidedly revealing camouflage, the new S-Class Coupe will be joining its four-door compadre in the not-too-distant future, as well.
When it launches, the S-Class Coupe will officially do away with the CL-Class nomenclature. This doesn't come as a huge shock. After all, when the new E-Class coupe and convertible were launched, it officially marked the end of the long-running CLK-Class designation.
Thanks to the interesting camouflage seen here, we have a very good glimpse at how the S-Class Coupe will look when all of the molding and swirly paper are peeled off. Rakish body lines pulled from the CLS-Class meet a much more dynamic front fascia. Out back, there are horizontal taillamps rather than the vertical units used on the current car, and the whole package seems very svelte. Our spy photographer even posits that this will be "the best-looking car from Mercedes-Benz in ages."
