DESCRIPTION:

I purchased this car in June 2004. It belonged, at the time, to a gentleman whose pride it was.  Since then, I drove it less than 2000 miles a year. During my ownership it never was in the rain and, the rest of the time, it remained in a climate controlled garage as part of a car collection.

With only 56,385 miles on the odometer, this 18 years old 320 SL can be considered as a genuine "low mileage" vehicle. It has been a "southern car" since new.

The 320 SL has a 6 cylinder, limited year production engine, with mpg estimates of city 14-20 mpg, and highway 20-28 mpg (based on driving habits and conditions).

I must stress again that the paint ( Smoke silver Metallic) and interior (Cr`eme Beige/Mushroom Leather) are factory original and in remarkable condition. The carpet and headliner are also perfect. The factory protection plastic is still on the front carpet! The original soft top in dark brown is "as new".

Chrome, trim and wood are equally good.

Dials, switches, radio, AC, etc. all in working order.

The reserve placed on this car is substantially below the NADA estimate which is currently $9760.

I would welcome an inspection of this outstanding car which is only 2 years away from being eligible for an Antique/Collector tag.


This 320 SL was delivered with:
  • 12 holes alloy wheels,
  • Side and front airbags,
  • Steel reinforced cabin with crumple zone,
  • 5 Speed automatic with cruise control,
  • Anti theft alarm system with engine disabler,
  • Power steering,
  • Automatic climate control,
  • Electronically 10 way adjustable seats.
  • Memory seats/mirrors and headrests,
  • Electronic steering column, tilt and telescope,
  • Auto dimming rear view mirror,
  • Remote locking system and trunk release,
  • 6 speaker Bose sound system with 5 CD player and cassette player,
  • Tinted glass,
  • Power windows,
  • Heated rear window on hardtop,
  • Power disc brakes and anti lock brake system, 
  • Leather upholstery,
  • Head lamp washer wiper,
  • Dual heated side mirrors,
  • Automatic Pop-up roll bar with removable screen,
  • Night security illumination system
  • First aid kit.
Everything on this car is original, there are no aftermarket  accessories or  equipment.
Overall, this is a very much above average vehicle.
This car would be perfect for someone wanting to participate in Mercedes Benz  Club of America's activities.

I would welcome an inspection of this automobile.

All questions are welcome.


 The reserve placed on this car is substantially lower than the NADA estimate of $ 9760. 

This car is sold as is, where is, there is no warranty implied or otherwise.

Cadillac, Daimler execs take swipes at Tesla

Tue, Apr 22 2014

Despite the financial ties between Daimler and Tesla Motors, at least one Mercedes exec thinks the electric automaker doesn't have a bright future. And over at Cadillac, the message is that Tesla doesn't pose a threat but offers the luxury arm of General Motors more of classroom experience. The Mercedes story runs like this. Mercedes-Benz USA president and CEO, Steve Cannon, said at the New York Auto Show last week that Tesla has "no network" and only offers "little shops that don't have service capacity." He also said: "Folks are buying a Tesla now because they're kind of cool, but if you're a Tesla buyer, you have to have multiple cars. With Mercedes, you have a whole network. You've got no worries. ... Tesla is great, but you've got plenty of well-established brands that mean luxury, like Porsche or Mercedes-Benz, and how long do you think we're going to wait and let Tesla be out there alone [selling premium electric cars]?" "Treehuggers do not buy new luxury cars" – Uwe Ellinghaus For Cadillac's global chief marketing officer, Uwe Ellinghaus, Tesla's EV success represents little other than "a great opportunity and a learning exercise for all of us, and will help us traditional manufacturers to think twice about electric mobility." He added that, "I am not afraid of Tesla. ... There is no willingness to really sacrifice on the traditional qualities of a luxury car. These are not cars for treehuggers, as treehuggers do not buy new luxury cars." Ellinghaus made the comments during a panel discussion at the 2014 Automotive Forum. Perhaps the lesson of Tesla's offer of free Supercharging to Model S owners is what led to Cadillac to recently announce a deal with Chargepoint that gives ELR drivers access to that company's 16,500 charging stations. Read more details on that below. Cadillac and ChargePoint Bring EV Customer Luxury Driving Experience World's largest, most open electric vehicle charging network available to ELR drivers 2014-04-16 NEW YORK – Cadillac today announced a partnership with ChargePoint, the largest and most open electric vehicle-charging network in the world. The collaboration brings Cadillac ELR drivers immediate access to more than 16,500 charging locations on the ChargePoint network. The ELR electrified luxury coupe went on sale at the end of 2013. It embodies Cadillac's Art & Science design philosophy, combining provocative design with progressive technology.

Mercedes considering convertible SUV

Mon, Jun 22 2015

Mercedes has been focusing a lot of attention lately on revitalizing and expanding its crossover and SUV lineup. So what's next for high-riding Benzes? It could be a convertible. According to Daimler's sport-ute and sports car chief Wolf-Dieter Kurz, the company is closely considering a drop-top SUV of some sort. "We will find a market," Kurz told the Australian website CarAdvice. The trouble is that "the convertible is a very slim niche in terms of the SUV portfolio." The biggest problem could be China, where luxury SUVs remain hugely popular – but where convertibles, by and large, are not. "There are lots of discussions," said Kurz, "but we didn't have any decision yet." The last time Mercedes offered a convertible SUV was with the short-wheelbase version of the Gelandewagen, pictured above. It was available (in some markets anyway) for 34 long years as part of the G-Class lineup, but was discontinued in 2013. That left the Jeep Wrangler and Land Rover Discovery as the only convertible SUVs to speak of currently available. Nissan tried its hand with the Murano CrossCabriolet, but that was phased out as well, while Land Rover prepares to take another stab at it with the upcoming Evoque convertible. It'd be interesting to see what approach Mercedes might take, and where it would position the model. Related Video:

More German automakers may be afoul of US emission standards

Wed, Sep 23 2015

Volkswagen has plenty of smoke to share, and that may mean fire for other German automakers that make diesel vehicles, says Automotive News. Earlier this month, European Federation for Transport and Environment said that BMW, Daimler's Mercedes-Benz and General Motor's Opel division are among other automakers that may have equipped their vehicles' diesel engines with similar software as VW's. That software was found to reduce emissions while a car is being tested for emissions and shuts down emissions-control systems during normal use. The European environmental group used data from the International Council on Clean Transportation. Automotive News notes that the European environmental group put out its own report earlier this month, before the VW scandal broke loose, but the report was pretty much overlooked. Now, VW is under fire after it was discovered that 2.0-liter diesel engines in the VW Jetta and Golf, and Audi A3, may be programmed to game the emissions system. VW sold almost a half-million diesel vehicles in the US during the past six years. Both BMW and Mercedes-Benz told Automotive News that the issue that befell VW doesn't apply to their diesel vehicles. Earlier this week, Volkswagen admitted its car ran the sneaky software, while the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has started a probe on the company. VW is setting aside more than $7 billion to pay for the alleged violations. Meanwhile, US taxpayers may have spent as much as $51 million a year to pay for subsidies related to VW's diesel vehicle sales in 2009 alone, according to the Los Angeles Times.
