SL-Class 8 cyl Automatic Convertible Gorgeous 1985 Mercedes 380SL – Three-owner
–California car with Major Maintenance Out-of-the-Way. This lovingly and well-kept, accident-free, three-owner, 115,000 mile
car has its original hood emblem, windows and many interior features. It comes with two remote control locks for
the both doors and the trunk. The beautiful original dash has just one small
crack that is not easily seen on the top and everything working as it should.
The interior has always been smoke-free and is in fabulous condition with clean
carpet and door panels. It includes a
set of after-market cup holders in the console. The radio and automatic antenna
work perfectly, and the car has a DVD player located in the trunk. It
also has 2 emergency boxes, a car cover, a stand for the removable hard top
that is in wonderful condition. Many cars do not have the detachable wind screen
that comes with mine although it has one small tear. The car has been well maintained and it has all of its books, paperwork
and tools and extensive documentation. It is an amazing value to find a
car in this condition, driven less than 4,000 miles per year that ALREADY HAS
THE EXPENSIVE TIMING CHAIN WORK REQUIRED AFTER THE 110,000 MILE POINT OUT OF
THE WAY!! Recent repairs include new exhaust system, new valves, new brakes and
the new timing chain with related work. The engine is extremely strong with no
oil leaks, the transmission shifts smoothly with no noise and the exhaust system
has been fully replaced. The AC has also been replaced recently and blows cold, switching from
heat to cold with no issues. The 380SL has never been in an accident; its been
garaged in California its whole life and shows no rust anywhere. It
has an extremely clean undercarriage. Without a doubt, this is one of the finest classically beautiful
roadster designs built by Mercedes-Benz. You will look long and hard to find a
SL380 car with only 115K original miles, driven less than 4,000 miles per year
and has the major maintenance work already out of the way. This is the
last and best year of the 380SL The body on this car is in great shape. The two small flaws shown in the
photos include a small dent below the right tail light and a cracked left tail
light. A former boyfriend found the car for me 3.5 yrs ago and I bought it for
our road trips. It’s only been driven16K miles since owning. After we split up I don’t like to take it out
alone and that is the reason I’m selling this beautiful car that I have
invested so much in repair work. Questions, please call Ketti at 323-284-8555. Life is too short to
drive an ordinary car! |

Mercedes dealers authorized to spend $2,500 on perks for S-Class customers
Mon, 02 Dec 2013If 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.
Highlights from the Goodwood Festival of Speed, including the McLaren P1 and a Ford Transit running the hill
Mon, 15 Jul 2013The sole purpose of this post is as a time-waster, and since you shouldn't have to work to waste time, we've done it for you. In the numerous videos below you'll find cars that have lately been in the news tramping all over the grounds of Lord March's estate in Goodwood, England.
There's the McLaren P1 heading up the hill, the Jaguar Project 7, then a casually-driven Porsche 917 followed by an even-more-casually-driven Porsche 956, topped off by a Porsche 936 that is anything but casually driven. The next round is the flame-spitting Peugeot 405 T16 Pikes Peak from Climb Dance, a camera mounted on the Peugeot RCZ R after it showing you what the whole, uninterrupted run up the hill looks like. For a real head-turner, we couldn't embed it but there's Andy Reid blasting up the hill in a Ford Transit Supervan with a Cosworth 3000 V6 engine.
The modern racing contingent has Allan McNish doing the hill in the Audi R18 e-tron quattro he used to win Le Mans and Lewis Hamilton making lots of tire smoke in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas MGP-W02. For comparison, that's followed by Nick Heidfeld's record-setting run up the hill in 1999 in the McLaren MP4/14 . The classic racing contingent is headlined by 71-year-old Giacomo Agostini on an MV Agusta.
Carlsson turns Mercedes-Benz SLK into 610-HP hill-climb clawer
Mon, 28 Jan 2013Carlsson's race-tuned versions of the Mercedes-Benz SLK have been taking checkered flags for years, and we won't be surprised if its SLK 340 hill climber fares any different. Developed by multiple German and Swiss hill climb champion Reto Meisel, the carbon-bodied SLK 340 with lightweight brakes and a closed underbody weighs 1,716 pounds. Propelling that tiny bit of weight is a 3.4-liter V8 from Judd with 610 horsepower, and it rolls on 18-inch wheels shod in Avon tires.
It will debut at the Geneva Motor Show before beginning its racing campaigns in the summer. This one won't just tear up roads in Europe, though - Meisel says he plans on bringing it to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The press release below has more details.
