Wood grain accents. Body is in excellent condition with no dents or rust. Red paint has some fading. Interior is in fair condition that needs new seat upholstery, has a cracked dash and passenger side windshield. One door panel needs reattached. Considering its age, its not in bad shape. All lights and lenses are good, the grill is good and both bumpers are good. This convertible has a removable factory hard top with matching paint is in perfect shape, including a good headliner and back glass. Has a newer soft top in tan color to match the interior, which is in great shape as well. All Mercedes emblems are also in tact. Would be a gem to restore!

It starts, runs and the tires are in good shape. It was bought from a woman who drove it down from Nebraska last summer, which she has kept tagged, licensed and drove frequently. That's about all we know about the car. My husband bought it spur of the moment for nostalgia reasons, but the wife doesn't want the yard ornament any longer :)  Mechanical issues are not really known, because he has only personally driven the car a few miles down the road. Sold as is with no guarantee. Clean, clear MO title with no issues or liens.

You can request to speak to the owner directly if you have any further questions about the car. Just send your phone number in a private email using "contact the seller" and I will have him call you.

BLUE BOOK VALUE:

This classic 85 Mercedes Roadster books out at $16,600 low, $24,400 average and $36,100 high values. It is a true collectors item. We just want a quick sale to get rid of it. For a low price you can own a rag top sports car for this summer!

PHOTO NOTE: 

The photos of the top down and the soft top up are web photos just to show what different tops looks like. The hard top is currently on the car, as original pics show. The soft top is actually a tan color. We haven't even washed it, so some soap and wax would do wonders!

FEEDBACK NOTE:

eBay has for some reason removed my 100% rating percentage! I have been a member for many years and my feedback comments are still there, but my rating is 0% now.  I will be contacting eBay about this.

BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.

Carlsson SLK 340 Judd is winged up for hill climb glory

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Carlsson has been expertly tuning Mercedes-Benz products for more than 20 years now, but we can't say as we remember the outfit turning out anything quite so racy as this SLK 340 Judd that it has brought along to the Geneva Motor Show this year.
This SLK is meant for competition, obviously, and Carlsson has already booked the car to race in several hill climb events in the E1 category. The purpose-built racer should have a fighting chance to do well in said races, with a shape vetted in wind tunnel testing for maximum downforce, the SLK uses a carbon-fiber bodyshell to help achieve a curb weight of just about 1,720 pounds.
The featherweight SLK's name comes from its 3.4-liter V8 engine, which churns out a wicked 610 horsepower to go with its 317 pound-feet of torque. A Hewland transmission with paddle shift operation manages all of the thrust.

Mercedes S-Class Magic Body Control ad is clucking awesome

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

This is a new ad from Mercedes-Benz. At no point does it show an automobile. Instead, it stars animals, but not the sort you might normally see in car commercial. This ad is all about chickens. It is bizarre, to say the least, with Diana Ross and the Supremes belting it out in the background, but it all kind of comes together when you realize just what Mercedes is hawking (yeah, pun intended).
It's for the manufacturer's Magic Body Control, found on the new S-Class. The system basically analyzes the road and prepares the suspension accordingly, leading to a ride that is, in the words of our own Chris Paukert "nothing short of spooky." You can read about it in our full review of the 2014 S550. Take a look below for the 53-second spot.
