THIS IS THE 8TH 560SL THAT I HAVE REFURBISHED AND OFFERED FOR SALE, AND THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE NICEST ONE YET!!

DETAILS:

EXTERIOR- FINISHED IN A GOLD COLOR WITH NEW ACCENT STRIPES. NEAR FLAWLESS FINISH WITH A FEW MINOR TOUCHED UP PAINT CHIPS.

NEW BROWN SOFT TOP. HARD TOP INCLUDED, THOUGH NOT PICUTURED, GOOD CONDITION. WHEELS ARE EXCELLENT, TIRES WITH PLENTY OF TREADEWEAR LEFT.

 

INTERIOR - APPEARS ORIGINAL SEATS, CARPETS, ETC. SLIGHT BOLSTER WEAR ON DRIVER'S SIDE (NOT NEEDING REPAIR, BUT EASILY ACCOMPLISHED AT ANY AUTO UPOLSTERY SHOP).NEW AM-FM CD PLAYER WITH CRISP SOUND. COCO FIBER MATS ADDED.

MECHANICAL - ABSOLUTELY NO ISSUES. EVERTHING WORKS!! COLD A/C WITH RECENT R-12 ADDED.

STARTS IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT HESITATION. DRIVES STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW WITHOUT SIGNS OF MIS-ALIGNMENT OR IMBALANCE.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A 560 SL THAT IS READY TO DRIVE WITH NO MECHANICAL ISSUES I WOULD SUGGEST YOU CONSIDER THIS VEHICLE.

PLEASE READ FURTHER FOR INFORMATION REGARDING MY BACKGROUND AND THAT OF THE 560 SL.

 

AFTER PUCHASING AND SELLING MANY OF THESE VEHICLES ON EBAY- I WOULD OFFER THE FOLLOWING ADVICE-"CAVEAT EMPTOR" (LET THE BUYER BEWARE)!MANY OF THESE VEHICLES OFFERED FOR SALE HAVE MISLEADING PICTURES AND DESCRIPTIONS! MANY ARE BEING SOLD BECAUSE THEY NEED REPAIRS (SOMETIMES MAJOR) AND YOU CAN REALLY GET BURNED!!

LOW MILEAGE IS NOT A INDICATION OF THE CONDITION OF THE VENICLE AS MANY LOW MILEAGE VEHICLES HAVE NOT BEEN WELL CARED FOR. HIGHER MILEAGE VEHICLES IN GOOD CONDITION ARE OFTEN GOOD BUYS. THE ENGINES AND TRANSMISSIONS OF THESE "PANZER WAGONS" ARE GOOD FOR 500,000 MILES BEFORE ANY MAJOR SERVICE IS REQUIRED.

IF YOU CANNOT INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND/OR YOU ARE NOT TERRIBLY KNOWLEDGEABLE YOU ARE TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON THE SELLER'S DESCRIPTION AND EBAY RATINGS. BUYING FROM A DEALER CAN OFTEN BE PROBLEMATIC AS THEY TEND TO LEAVE OUT IMPORTANT DETAILS ABOUT THE VEHICLE'S CONDITION.

THEREFORE IT IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO CHECK OUT THE SELLER'S EBAY RATINGS- BOTH THE NUMBER AND THE QUALITY OF THE FEEDBACK.

I AM A RETIRED PHYSICIAN AND MY HOBBY IS REFURBISHING 560 SL'S. ANY NEEDED REPAIRS ARE SUBBED OUT TO MY EXPERIENCED GERMAN MECHANIC. MAJOR UPHOLSTERY WORK IS ALSO SUBBED OUT. I FOCUS ON THOSE RELATIVELY "NIGGLING" ISSUES THAT TEND TO BE QUITE EXPENSIVE WHEN PERFORMED IN A REPAIR SHOP.

ABOUT THE 560SL:

PRODUCTION OF THE "107" BEGAN IN 1972 AND TERMINATED IN 1989 WITH THE 560SL. MERCEDES THUS HAD 17 YEARS TO CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVE THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN DUBBED "THE PANZER WAGON" BECAUSE OF ITS WORKMANSHIP  AND DURABILITY.

THE 560 SL WAS PRODUCED FROM 1986-1989 AND IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE MOST DESIREABLE AND COLLECTIBLE. WHEN THE LAST VEHICLE WAS PRODUCED IN 1989 IT SOLD FOR $64,000, SO ONLY THE VERY WEALTHY COULD AFFORD THEM.

BECAUSE OF THEIR EXTREME DURABILITY AND TENDENCY NOT TO RUST THERE ARE STILL PLENTY OF THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AND THEY ARE QUITE AFFORDABLE.

IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF SPORTS CAR HISTORY WRITTEN 50 YEARS FROM NOW THESE LATE MODEL 560'S WILL BE WRITTEN IN AS THE LAST OF THE TRULY ELEGANT TOURING CARS FROM MERCEDES BENZ. THESE CARS ARE SIMPLY STUNNING! WHILE NEW CARS ARE STILL WONDERFUL BY TODAY'S STANDARDS THEY ARE ALL DESTINED TO THE JUNK HEAP WHEN THEIR COMPUTER SOFTWARE PROGRAMS ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTED BY THE FACTORY. THESE SUPERBLY CRAFTED MOTORCARS WILL CONTINUE TO BE ROAD WORTHY DUE TO THEIR PURE MECHANICAL SIMPLICITY. A GUY WITH A SET OF TOOLS AND A SHOP MANUAL WILL ALWAYS BE AROUND TO WORK ON THESE GEMS FROM MB, MUCH THE SAME WAY AS CARS FROM THE 20'S AND 30'S ARE REBUILT AND MAINTAINED SO SIMPLY TODAY. THE PAINT ON THESE CARS FROM THAT ERA WILL OUTLAST THE NEW PAINTS 10 TO 1.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FRO A TRUE FUN WEEKEND CAR WITH COLLECTOR APPEAL ONE OF THESE CARS IS A GREAT WAY TO GO!

Wards names its 2015 10 Best Interiors list

Fri, Apr 17 2015

Wards Automotive has named the winners of its 10 Best Interior awards, covering a wide but affordable array of vehicles. Where last year's list contained two six-figure vehicles, including the $372,800 Rolls-Royce Wraith, this year's is, well, a whole lot more reasonable. The publication lists the Mercedes-Benz C400 at $65,000 (which seems off), making it the most expensive vehicle here. That said, we'd argue that the entire C-Class line deserves to make this year's list, owing to its varied and high-quality selection of materials. The other vehicle to break the $60,000 mark, meanwhile, is the $60,675 Ford F-150 King Ranch, which has 327,000 pounds of leather lining its interior. Only one other German car, the BMW i3, and one other pickup truck, the GMC Canyon, managed to make this year's list. Here's the full list of this year's winners: 2014 BMW i3 ($52,550) 2015 Chrysler 300C Platinum ($51,175) 2015 Ford F-150 King Ranch ($60,675) 2015 GMC Canyon SLT ($40,465) 2015 Honda Fit EX-L ($21,590) 2015 Jeep Renegade Limited ($33,205) 2015 Kia Sedona SXL ($43,295) 2016 Mazda6 Grand Touring ($33,395) 2015 Mercedes C400 ($65,000) 2015 Nissan Murano SL ($41,905) See what we mean about the mainstream vehicles? Not only is there a distinct lack of luxury brands, it's the price of some of the vehicles that surprise. The Honda Fit, Jeep Renegade and Mazda6 are very reasonably priced, especially when you compare Wards price with the starting price. The Renegade Limited starts at less than $25,000, the Mazda at less than $22K and the Fit at under $16,000. Head over to Wards for a more detailed explanation of why each vehicle won.

Autoblog Minute: New car customer satisfaction down according to latest ACSI report

Wed, Sep 9 2015

Customers have spoken and automobile satisfaction is down in 2015. Autoblog's Chris McGraw reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Customers have spoken and automobile satisfaction is down in 2015. I'm Chris McGraw and this is your Autoblog Minute. The American Customer Satisfaction Index or ACSI released its updated numbers and according to the survey, new car buyer satisfaction is down for the third straight year. According to an ACSI press release, customer satisfaction with new automobiles has fallen 3.7 percent, to 79 on its 100-point scale. The ACSI report is based on over 4,100 customer surveys collected in the second quarter of 2015 Sitting at the top of the industry in customer satisfaction is Toyota's Lexus brand with a score of 84. Which was good enough to dethrone Mercedes-Benz, which fell 3% to a score of 83. Of the Big Three, Ford was the only domestic automaker to maintain overall customer satisfaction with its score of 81. General Motors slipped 3% to 79 and Fiat Chrysler had a 5% drop, registering a score of 75 out the possible 100. What's driving this trend of customer dissatisfaction? ASCI points to the rise in recalls and car prices. Where do you land on customer satisfaction spectrum? Sound off in the comments with your thoughts on the current state of car ownership and brand quality. For Autoblog, I'm Chris McGraw. Autoblog Minute is a short-form video news series reporting on all things automotive. Each segment offers a quick and clear picture of what's happening in the automotive industry from the perspective of Autoblog's expert editorial staff, auto executives, and industry professionals.
