I bought this vehicle for the purpose of reselling it on Ebay. I have a high school friend who owns an auto dealership in Ky. He allows me to check out his trade ins and lease returns for this purpose. When I find one that I'm interested in, I have it checked out mechanically. If the vehicle needs only minor repair, I buy it and have the repairs done. This 500SL needed two of the hydraulic cylinders that operate the convertible top replaced, and a cleaning. This car runs and drives great. The engine(5.0 liter 8cyl.) and transmission(automatic with overdrive) performs as expected, with no unusual noises, leaks or smoking, from either, warm or cold. The car is equipped with high polished chrome wheels, am/fm stereo with cd, Ebony leather seats, power windows, power locks, power steering, power tilt and telescopic steering wheel, cruise control, six-way power seats, fog lights, keyless remote entry, dual power outside mirrors, driver's front airbag and power convertible top. The exterior is in great shape as well as the top, with the exception of a few small chips in the paint and a scuff on the passenger's fender(see pics). All of the afore mentioned equipment is in good working. The interior of this car is in great shape with no signs smoking, i.e. burnholes, discoloration or smell. The only exception to this is cracking of the simulated woodgrain on the door panels and center console and cracking of the leather on the top and sides of the seats where the seat belt openings are. The tires are @ 75%. If anyone is interested in the complete history of this car, Ebay provides a free history report on each listing. I have been doing business on Ebay for @ 8 years now, with great results. If you check my feedback, you will find that everyone that I have dealt with has had a hassle free experience, gotten a fair deal, and received an item that met or exceeded their expectations. Please feel free to ask questions or request additional pictures, as all requests will be answered HONESTLY AND PROMPTLY. If you would rather contact me via phone, my cell # is 502-648-2889. My name is John

2014 Mercedes S-Class priced lower from $92,900*
Mon, 09 Sep 2013The massively overhauled 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class will start at $92,900, not including a $925 destination fee, when it arrives at US dealers in October. That's a 2.8-percent drop over the 2013 S-Class, although Mercedes is fast to point out that a drop in price doesn't equate with a drop in equipment for the executive sedan.
Besides an extra 20 horsepower from the 4.6-liter, biturbocharged V8, the S550 sports a standard panoramic sunroof, keyless start, a rear-view camera and LED headlights, taillights and interior lights. Adding the German manufacturer's 4Matic all-wheel-drive system bumps the S550's price up to $95,900.
If the S550 doesn't quite cut the mustard, you can wait until November, at which point Mercedes will quite happily sell you the new S63 AMG 4Matic for $139,500. Power is also up on the S63, from a max of 563 ponies with an AMG Performance Package to 577 horsepower as standard on the 2014 model.
Aston or Bust? Maybach's fate to be decided next month
Mon, 13 Jun 20112011 Maybach 62 - Click above for high-res image gallery
What will become of Maybach? That question has been rattling around the halls of Daimler headquarters in Stuttgart for some time now. But all questions will be answered, and answered soon: according to reports, the German automaker is currently evaluating prototypes and propositions for its top-end marque, and will make its decision next month.
So, what are the options? On the one hand, Daimler could kill the Maybach brand altogether. It was a notion ill conceived and even more poorly executed, taking an old platform and building a new flagship atop it. In that way, it was sort of like the Chrysler Crossfire, only far more costly to both the buyer and manufacturer. On the other hand, Daimler could opt for the long-time-coming proposition of contracting the production (and possibly much of the development) of a new generation of Maybachs to Aston Martin.
Mercedes A45 AMG in downhill battle with slipstream skateboarder
Mon, 30 Sep 2013We're told it takes "performance, control and expression" to pilot a longboard skateboard down a mountain road, and that those happen to be the same values embodied in the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG. That's how the two came to be combined in a black-and-white short film called Silver Slipstream.
There's no talking, no engine note and no color, just some music, a 'boarder and a car on a long cruise down the Franschhoek Pass in the Western Cape of South Africa." Despite that, it's actually a pretty entertaining video of the latest Mercedes-Benz hot hatch married with extreme sports. You can watch how it all goes down in the video below.
