US $6,000.00
Year:1991
Mileage:118361
Location:
Atlanta, Georgia, United States
|
I'm selling my sweet
little 1991 red 500SL, I hate to move it on to its next home but I need to get
my son a (more) practical car. I've owned the car a
for three years and have loved every minute of it. It starts up and drives great
on highway or surface streets and has great pick up and lots of power.
Extremely low miles (118k) for a 20 year old car. The body is the R129
style. Car has four new Falken tires and the car drives straight and smooth. All
five rims (including spare) are Mercedes factory and in good shape. The drivers seat had a tear/separation in the leather but overall, the interior is in pretty good shape. The dash has no cracks or
imperfections. I have the red hard top and it's in perfect shape, but
honestly I've never put it on. This car was built as a convertible and
looks and drives best with the roof down! The car has not been restored
and all equipment is original. I've kept my reserve low and would consider this as a project car due to the following list of imperfections: The hydraulics for the
automatic roof don't work. I'm not sure if it's one or all of the
hydraulic pumps, but to raise and lower the soft roof (which is in perfect
shape) you need to use the Mercedes spacer tool (provided). The passenger seat and
seat belt are stuck in the locked position. I don't know how to fix
this. The drivers side seat works and folds forward perfectly giving access to the back storage and the seat belt works perfectly. There is some clear coat bubbling on the hood. I was told that this is a common problem with this vintage year and color. I don't think the car needs a repaint. I've takes a couple of close up pics of the hood, it's hard to see from pictures, but it's not too bad and only on the hood. The
plastic trim bumper on the front of the car has been cracked hitting curbs and
such. It looks fine but has some visible
cracks in the plastic. Drivers side door key
won't lock from the outside. To lock the car, you have to do it from the
passengers side. Power antennae won't
raise or lower. The radio / cassette (original) turns on but says “stand by”
but no radio stations come in. The
antennae is stuck in the down position. AC doesn't blow cold (heat works perfectly) Lately, after starting and running for a while, the accelerator hesitates before moving. This seems to happen after the engine has warmed up and it's sporadic. Not sure what it is, fuel pump maybe? Overall, the car is in
great shape. It's such a fun car to scoot around town in, and I'm sure you'll
love it. I've kept my reserve
low. Feel free to phone or email with any questions at all. You're welcome of
course to inspect the car as you'd like. Includes new mats
(generic), original manual, passenger compartment add-on wind screen block
and a fitted car cover. The car is in my home garage in Atlanta Georgia and the pick up
and transportation are the buyers responsibility. Winning bid must be paid
within 3 days in cash, certified funds or via PayPal. This vehicle
is sold "as is," and has no warranty expressed or implied. Serious
inquires only please. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
ask by e-mail. If you require a call back, leave your number and I will call
you. Happy Bidding and thanks for looking! |

Mercedes investing $500 million for new Sprinter plant in SC
Tue, Mar 10 2015The commercial van segment is exploding in popularity in the US right now with a vast array of recent products from multiple marques, and there's even more on the way from automakers like Hyundai. Mercedes-Benz is trying to grab a bigger share of the expanding market, too, and is launching its smaller Metris here in the fall. Now comes word that Mercedes will construct a $500-million factory in Charleston, SC, that will build the next-gen Sprinter domestically. According to Mercedes, construction of the new plant will begin in 2016, and when complete, the site will cover around 200 acres, including a body shop, paint shop and assembly line. It will also employ 1,300 people who will be building Sprinters badged as both Mercedes and Freightliner models. Rumors about this new construction go back to late last year. Mercedes currently has to ship some partially disassembled Sprinters into the US from Germany, paying import duties on them, and then the company puts the vans back together at a site in Ladson, SC. The process obviously adds costs to the models, and the domestic factory should mean a more price-competitive vehicle. Plus, a local factory means quicker deliveries to dealers. Despite the laborious import process, the Sprinter is a hit in the US. Mercedes sold 25,745 of them in 2014, which made the country the van's second-largest market behind Germany. They were first launched here in 2001 and since then have gained a nine-percent market share in the segment, according to the company. Mercedes is on a construction boom at the moment. The company is building a new corporate headquarters for the US in Atlanta, GA, due to be complete in 2018. The German brand is also investing $2.4 billion to expand its Tuscaloosa, AL, factory to build models like the forthcoming GLE-Class. MERCEDES-BENZ VANS TO INVEST AROUND $500 MILLION IN NEW VAN PLANT IN SOUTH CAROLINA, U.S. 09/03/15 from Mercedes-Benz New plant to be built in Charleston, South Carolina, beginning in 2016 Next generation Sprinter also to be manufactured in the U.S. Expansion of the global production network as part of the "Mercedes-Benz Vans goes global" growth strategy Creation of more than 1,300 new jobs planned Volker Mornhinweg: "We are investing around half a billion dollars to create a top-notch Mercedes-Benz van plant here in South Carolina.

Mercedes spotted testing updated A45 AMG
Wed, May 27 2015Now on the market (or some markets at any rate) for a couple of years already in its current form, Mercedes is preparing a slight refresh for the A-Class. And that means a new A45 AMG performance version, as well. Pictured undergoing testing in Germany, this prototype is hiding some enhancements for the littlest Benz. We're expecting the updates to be rather subtle, but they ought to help the Silver Star hatch keep up with the likes of the BMW 1 Series and Audi A3 in the increasingly competitive premium hatchback market. Best of all, Mercedes is tipped to be preparing an even more powerful A45 AMG S with over 400 horsepower to keep pace with the upcoming Volkswagen Golf R400. Unfortunately the A-Class isn't offered in North America, but we can hope that some of the enhancements (especially in the performance department) are ported over to the CLA-Class sedan and GLA crossover as well.
