OK the good: the motor has about 40K on a rebuilt motor, runs smooth, lots of power, new front end, new brakes and rotors all around, just replaced windshield transmission, radio works great as do all the lights. I drive this car every day and love the spacious interior. The bad, although the transmission is strong, it has a slight hesitation, but it also needs a quart of transmission fluid about every 200 miles due to a loose fitting I can't find get to; it doesn't smoke and it will punch through traffic like, well, a mercedes. The car locks automatically but doesn't unlock automatically, but opens fine with key. The AC works...most of the time. It will work for days on end and then not work for a while, I filled it with freon, the right kind, and it does seem to work more than it doesn't. Oh and though the body WAS perfect, one of the family members tried to squeak the car between two wooden posts and the posts won. So both the passenger side doors have dents in them, no scratches, dents, so that unless you are close up to the car, they really don't show. And the seats are not in the best condition either, nothing a couple of seat covers won't cure. We have 5 cars and though I love this car, my wife doesn't, I have always had a soft spot for the W126 wide body vehicles. Oh yes the speedometer stopped working at 202000, just after I bought the car. So if you are looking to drive a sharp looking mercedes for a more than reasonable price, or if you need parts for your classic you are restoring..and these cars are classics, give me a call 941-993-2618 or email me.

Watch this perfectly nice Mercedes get crushed by a front-end loader
Mon, 25 Mar 2013In a world where the YouTube hoax continues to thrive, it's hard to know what to think of this little vid, but here are the facts as we know them: a coupe that looks like a first-generation Mercedes-Benz CLK gets crushed by a giant front-end loader. There you have it.
Our questions arise in the aftermath - we know industrial resource machinery is heavy, but the Benz gets squashed so flat we wonder if someone's trying to play a joke on us. We hear that the white coupe may have been the heavy-equipment operator's foreman's car, but who knows? The on-camera interview seems awfully conveniently placed, yes? See for yourself in the video below and then leave us your thoughts in Comments.
SRT Viper dukes it out with Mercedes SLS Black Series in new Head 2 Head
Fri, 05 Jul 2013In Episode 36 of Motor Trend's Head 2 Head, now that the Corvette ZR1 is no more, Jonny Lieberman has to look overseas to the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series for a challenger with similar philosophy to the SRT Viper: long hood hiding a high-horsepower engine set way back, rear-wheel drive, tiny trunks. That puts the Viper's 8.4-liter V10 with 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque against the SLS AMG's 6.2-liter V8 with 622 hp and 468 lb-ft.
However, the congruences in philosophy and magnitude of numbers doesn't translate to the driving experiences of the two, which are literally and figuratively on different continents. Lieberman gets a handle on the two of them on Northern California roads, Randy Probst then finds out how, and how quickly, they can lap Laguna Seca.
They both get kudos for being improvements on their original sources, but only one of them can take the win. You can find out by watching the video below.
Mercedes-AMG teases GT interior, announces fall 2014 debut
Tue, 15 Apr 2014Mercedes-Benz opted to tease the assembled media at its post-New York Auto Show party, showing off a pair of images of the exquisitely crafted interior of the highly anticipated successor of the SLS AMG - the V8-powered Mercedes-AMG GT.
Slated for a debut in the fall at either Paris or Los Angeles (we're betting Paris), you'll note straight away that there's something wrong with this car's name. Where's the "Benz?" Well, it's been ditched to, as Mercedes says, "make the dream of the authentic Mercedes-AMG sports car come true." Sorry Karl.
"The new Mercedes-AMG GT proves that we will be positioning AMG as a dynamic sports car brand even more strongly and aggressively than before," said Tobias Moers, CEO of Mercedes-AMG.
