1985 Mercedes 500sl Euro Celebrity Owned 50k Miles on 2040-cars
Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States
|
I'm proud to offer a 1985 Mercedes euro 500sl convertible. This car is show quality with only 50k original miles on it. This car was owned by Paul Douglas for the last 7 years and was only used in parades once a year. It was stored in a climate controlled garage and sat next to his s65 wood and interior are in fabulous condition for a 29year old car. It has been repainted at some point in its life put quality of paint is phenomenal, the hard top is still original paint. I have all the work receipts from Paul Douglas. Pictures due not due do justice to the car, this is probably one of the best low mile examples of this rare car in the nation. I do have a car-fax for it and it has no issues. There is absolutely no rust anywhere on the car and never had any rust or rust repair work done.
If you are not familiar 500sl was only made in Europe only a handful were ever imported here. They all went through extensive regulations to make them legal here and it was the only model that came with factory installed rear jump seats so you could have 4 passengers in the car. The 500sl has more hp and torque than the US based 560sl model and it is also geared differently for the autobahn. To the other US based models like the 380sl and the 450sl the car is not even comparable. It is the most desirable w107 convertible. Additionally the euro models have nice looking flush bumpers, this car does have US headlights on it right now to comply with US regulations when it was imported here, but it would be very easy to put original glass headlights with pneumatic adjustment that it is wired for and were originally on the car. This car is 100% ready to drive with everything working on it including AC, and cruise control and there is not a drop of oil underneath it. Also has hard top available. Don't miss a chance in a lifetime to own a part of history. This car will continue to grow in price over the years. There are only a handful w107 that are in this good of original condition left in the world. The car books out at over $27k by NADA, reserve is well bellow that. Please call me at 651-983-3592 with any questions or to set up a test drive. Thank you.

2014 Mercedes SL and SLK add small expansion to Takata airbag recall
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Mercedes-Benz is the latest automaker to be affected by Takata's massive airbag recall. The company has announced a voluntary recall campaign on a small number of model-year 2014 SLK- and SL-Class roadsters.
In Mercedes' case, 300 vehicles are affected, 200 of which are in the hands of customers. According to spokesperson Donna Boland, the affected roadsters were built between March and April of this year.
The issue, which is apparently the fault of one of Takata's subcontractors, rests with some improperly installed fasteners, which could keep the airbag from performing the way it's supposed to. According to Boland, Mercedes isn't sure what, if any, injuries the recalled airbags could cause, but simply claims there's an increased risk in these particular vehicles. There's been no reported instances of the faulty airbags deploying on a customer and the original issue was found in a production test.
Mercedes-AMG considering turbo fours, hybrid sixes for future performance sedans
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Think of the letters AMG and you'll probably end up picturing a performance sedan with a big V8. Such has become, after all, the Mercedes turning division's calling card. But with the introduction of its 2.0-liter turbo four, AMG is working at turning that notion on its head.
The highly potent engine produces 355 horsepower and is presently installed in the A45 AMG hatchback, CLA45 AMG sedan and GLA45 AMG crossover, giving Benz's smallest family a full range of performance models. But that might not be the full extent of the high-strung four-pot's use.
Speaking with AMG boss Tobias Moers, Britain's What Car? magazine reports that Affalterbach is considering slotting the same engine into larger models, particularly performance sedans like the C-Class. As we recently reported, Mercedes is already preparing to up the power from the turbo V6 in the C400 to slot a C450 Sport in below the C63 AMG. The C450 is expected to offer around 367 horsepower where the CLA45 AMG et al pack 355, but the lighter weight of the four-cylinder engine would likely offset the truancy of those extra dozen horses. Of course such a prospect would be much further down the pipeline than the C450 Sport which is expected to arrive much sooner.
2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG rumbles on stage 4Matic style
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Bruce Hornsby and his soothing piano skills helped introduce us to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but the monstrous E63 AMG sedan needed no entrance music as it rumbled on stage. The 550-horsepower (and up) sedan sat proudly alongside the rest of the redesigned E-Class on stage at the Detroit Auto Show, but stood miles apart in intention and execution.
In addition to a choice of sedan and wagon body styles, the E63 AMG will also offer buyers the choice of the standard 550 hp or an upgraded 577-hp S-Model; regardless of output, all 2014 E63 AMG models will come standard with the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system.
We already saw the E63 AMG's aggressive styling last week, but now we have a full assortment of live images for you to enjoy as well as the Mercedes-Benz press release, which is also posted below.
