Vehicle Description

Just arrived is this incredible, all original, and ultra-low mileage example of the R107 series Mercedes-Benz SL-Class, in the most sought after trim and color combination (Signal Red and Cream Beige leather). This SL has had two owners since new, and was first used as a summer-only car in Ontario, Canada by the original owner, who then sold it to his neighbor a few years later (2001), where it became a winter-only car in Naples, Florida.

As a person who has dealt in scores of these cars over the years, both privately and working for a company that specializes in them - I can say without reservation or hesitation that this is the finest example I have ever seen.  It is an absolute show car, and I always err on the side of caution when describing these cars to people - preferring that a buyer be pleasantly surprised rather than let down.  That said, I can simply find nowhere to fault this incredibly preserved machine, from the condition of the paint, to the perfect leather and wood, to the immaculate carpet, to the wear-free buttons and switches, to the no cracks on the dash, to the supple original soft top with crystal clear windows, to the drive quality, and to the remarkable maintenance its had to be in such excellent mechanical health. It literally drives like new, and shows no leaks or trouble of any kind, with cold AC, proper heat, excellent vacuum control, and no issues anywhere.

Being originally sold in Canada, this car - while otherwise identical in every way to a US model - has a speedometer/odometer in kilometers instead of miles, and a temperature gauge in Celsius.  It just turned 60,024 KM, which works out to 37,297 miles.  The KM reading makes it a prime candidate for export to Europe, or if it is sold to the US, we can have our workshopdo a documented speedometer/odometer change (if desired) to switch from the KM to miles. 

It has the original hard top in excellent condition, and has been freshly serviced by our Bosch-certified workshop. It includes all factory keys and books, including two masters and one valet. It has had no paintwork anywhere, no body rust on the top or bottom (never driven in snow, and the last owner swears never driven in rain!), and the factory wheels are in stellar condition all around, with fresh Goodyear tires. This car is incredibly original, down to the factory spare tire and wheel, first aid box, and still-sealed toolkit! If you're looking for one to collect or drive very sparingly as it appreciates, then look no further - this is the right car. Phone us at (239) 273-1150 or (239) 261-3600 for sales information.

    World Car Of The Year down to its final four

    Wed, 13 Mar 2013


    Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
    Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.

    Mercedes has already booked 30k orders for new S-Class

    Mon, 21 Oct 2013

    When Toyota snags 30,000 Corolla orders over a three-month span, it's entirely possible we're in the midst of a global economic collapse and that the end is nigh. That's because the scale for Toyota is so very large. Mercedes-Benz, on the other hand, operates on a much smaller scale, particularly when we talk about its higher-end models, like the S-Class.
    In 2012, Mercedes sold 65,000 of its flagship sedans in Germany and the EU. That's 178 units per day, for 365 days. Based on that, you can imagine the excitement at Stuttgart when it accepted 30,000 orders for the new S-Class in just three months. That's an average of 333 per day on a continent with a notoriously shaky economy. Now, admittedly, this enthusiasm could wane as the refitted S-Class becomes more common and Mercedes achieves market saturation in Europe's many chauffeur and livery services, but Mercedes isn't choosing to look at it that way.
    "The new S-Class has already jumped back into the lead in terms of new vehicle registrations in Germany and its neighboring European countries," Mercedes-Benz head of sales and marketing, Ola Kaellenius, said in a statement last week.

    Mercedes-Benz to build new ML coupe-crossover in Alabama in 2015

    Fri, 05 Sep 2014

    Mercedes-Benz will expand its factory in Tuscaloosa, AL, to build the ML Coupe, a new crossover that will join its lineup in 2015. Mercedes will also ramp up production to build facelifted versions of the M-Class and GL-Class SUVs, lifting the factory's total production capacity to about 300,000 units annually in 2015. It made 185,000 vehicles in 2013. In addition to SUVs, the Tuscaloosa site also makes the C-Class sedan.
    The plans come as part of Mercedes' strategy to capitalize on Americans' increasing demands for SUVs. The company said the SUV market was up 12 percent in first half of 2014, and expects it to grow at twice the rate of the regular market in 2015 and 2016.
    "We are seeing climbing demand for SUVs." - Dieter Zetsche
