1987 Mercedes 560SL for sale Amazing and gorgeous example of an extremely original 560sl. Original Ivory paint over Palomino interior, factory soft top with crystal clear windows and hard top too. So you know I'm legit and not some spam posting, you can look me up on the web and see my picture and footage of me as well. Go to the well known site IMDB (International Movie Data Base) and put in Dean England. That is who you will be speaking to on the phone and you or your transport company will be meeting to get the Mercedes. If you have little or no ebay feedback, please contact me before the end of the auction to confirm your identity as well. Purchased new and gently enjoyed between San Diego (Escondido) and Palm Springs (Indian Wells) for many years. Then she has lived amongst collectors in Palm Springs and Los Angeles. Her last visit to the dealership was at Mercedes of Encino at 76.022 miles in November of 2011. Clean car fax and receipts document the mileage that is about 78,000 now. You will see on the car fax she has passed every California smog check, most recently on 4/15/2014. Factory books stamped by the dealer to the mileage of about 51k. Extremely high gloss on the original ivory paint is fantastic. Pampered to the fullest from new, including the factory rims chromed (including the spare), hand painted pinstripes and upgraded wood shifter and steering wheel as well as back seats with seat belts, all as they'd do for a substantial extra expense back in the day. Interior is fantastic. There are no dash cracks, tears or damage inside. Ashtray never used. Also at great expense, an upgraded in dash Mercedes CD stereo was purchased at and installed by the Mercedes dealer so it is the correct brand for the car and not some odd looking after market unit. It fits right into the original opening. The speakers in the dash were upgraded as well. Though again, nothing has been cut and no other areas in the Mercedes are cut for speakers as too often is the case in these cars. Dealer receipt included. The Mercedes dealership also upgraded/retrofitted the Air Conditioning system to run on the R134 refrigerant and it blows nice and cold. The soft top is the original, yes original, with all the Mercedes emblems embossed in the crystal clear plastic windows. You can tell the car has seen very little sun or bad weather as the interior wood is not cracking, the soft top is not torn or faded and neither are the windows to it and the body to the car is spectacular. Even the outside rubber in the chrome side moldings are not sun faded or worn. The rubber is just as smooth on the top facing the sun as it is on the bottom. She just got a brand new battery. The metal battery box clamps that are too often broken off are all good. This happens because sometimes people cram in a cheaper battery that doesn't fit right and then try to clamp it down anyway. Not the case here. She starts right up, shifts smoothly. I can email video of her running. I just don't know how to post that on Ebay. When the headlights are turned on, that one small dash light is on that suggests a bulb is burned out. Yet, all blinkers, back up lights, parking lights etc are working. Sometimes this light can come on if an incorrect bulb (even if it works) was put in. I haven't looked into this to see if that's the case. Also, there is the typical small bit of play in the steering wheel when in the 12 o'clock position. This is the 560sl to put into your care if you are looking for original quality that is only going up in value because of its extreme originality along with dealer maintenance over the years and low mileage. Even the the lighted sun visors work and are not cracked or brittle or faded. I have the right to end this auction early in case I reach a deal with someone before the end of auction. If you'd like, feel free to email me your best offer. If it works for both of us I will let you know. I will then add a "Buy it Now" to the auction and you can purchase the 560sl with the buy it now feature. Otherwise, I'll see where it goes. Feel free to email me with any questions. Thanks for looking. |

Smart will go electric-only in United States and Canada
Tue, Feb 14 2017By 2018, the Smart car brand will be only known as an electric vehicle manufacturer in the US. According to Automotive News, sales of gasoline-powered Smart cars will cease later this year, and Daimler will develop the product portfolio into a solely electrified one. This coincides with the upcoming launch of the new generation Smart ForTwo electric drive models this summer. Automotive News claims to have obtained a letter from Mercedes-Benz USA CEO Dietmar Exler sent to US dealers. In it, he underlines the decision to go electric-only, saying "developments within the micro-car segment present some challenges for the current Smart product portfolio," and that the change will only affect North American sales. Production of US-destined gasoline-powered Smarts will cease in April, and sales will continue until stock runs out. The current generation has been on sale from 2015, and it hasn't reached the 2014 sales peak of 10.453 units of the previous generation; last year, there were little more than 6.200 Smarts sold in the States. The first electric drive Smarts were unveiled a decade ago, but they became available in the USA five years later, initially via various trial programs, including Car2Go fleets. Related Video:
Mercedes-Benz EQC vs. Jaguar I-Pace vs. Tesla Model X: How they compare on paper
Tue, Sep 4 2018The Mercedes-Benz EQ line is officially alive and kicking, with the reveal of the EQC electric crossover. It joins a segment that, while still in its infancy, seems ready to take off. Mercedes lists as the EQC's competitors the Jaguar I-Pace, The Audi E-Tron Quattro and the BMW iX3. While we've seen all of these, at least in concept or pre-production form, only one — the Jag — has actually been launched in production form. We've seen a concept and subsequent spy shots of the iX3, and the Audi EV will get its official specs publicized later this month. One electric SUV Mercedes didn't specifically call out was the Tesla Model X. As such, we've decided to compare on paper the Mercedes-Benz EQC 400, the Jaguar I-Pace S and the Tesla Model X 75D: All three are dual-motor EVs, though the Tesla is the longest and tallest. The EQC has the most power, but it and the Model X's 4.9-second 0-60 times fall short of the I-Pace. It also has the lowest top speed and electric driving range. (Mercedes sent us an updated range figure, but it's using the generous and largely outdated NEDC cycle; we're still waiting on an EPA rating.) We'll be interested to see how much the Mercedes weighs. Mercedes hasn't divulged the price of the EQC yet, but we imagine it'll fall pretty near to the $70,000 mark. As for Audi, we'll revisit this comparison after those details are made available on September 17. If you're interested in some other EV comparisons, we have a couple others that we published to compare the I-Pace to premium Teslas, as well as against other less-expensive EVs. If you want to learn more about these EVs, and compare them with other cars, be sure to check out our Car Finder and comparison tools.

Mercedes-Benz pickup could come to US
Tue, Apr 7 2015Mercedes-Benz USA CEO Steve Cannon says the brand has until the end of the year to decide whether to bring its upcoming midsize pickup truck to the United States. "We said to Stuttgart, 'We are open, and let us assess the market.' If that leads to us saying 'green light,' then we will bring it," Cannon said to Automotive News. Mercedes-Benz Vans is leading the pickup's development, and the company's official announcement said the truck's intended markets are Latin America, South Africa, Australia and Europe. The vehicle is expected to launch by 2020. The company might take advantage of some of Nissan's truck expertise on the project, but that's not decided yet, according to Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn. However, if the Mercedes pickup makes it to the US, it wouldn't be the same utility-oriented model as for the rest of the world. Instead, Cannon indicates that the truck would be adapted to fill a more luxurious role in the lineup and wouldn't be limited to dealers that sell vans. "For a Mercedes-Benz household that has a lot of stuff or a lot of kids or they want to tow the boat - we could offer something to customers who are already luxury-predisposed," he said to Automotive News. Keep in mind none of this is set in stone, and Mercedes doesn't have to offer the model here because "officially it was approved without US volume," Cannon said to Automotive News. He thinks the truck would be a niche vehicle and sales might only be around 10,000 units a year. With pickups among the leading segments in transactions over $50,000 in the US, the market could still be the right fit for the traditionally high-end German brand. Related Video:
