This is a 1988 Mercedes 560 SL...It runs like a dream. I am selling it because I intended to when i purchased it two years ago. I bought it from a friend that was relocating from Michigan to Texas which is where he bought the car originally. Before that it appears that it belonged to the co-owner of the Cincinnati Bengals. The car was in "barn" condition when i acquired it. Since then I have had a thorough tune-up w/ documentation, I have replaced the radiator with OEM, I have replaced the starter w/ a new Bosch starter, and as a precaution i replaced the fuel pump (s) because when i received the car it had old gas in it (which i removed before starting.) I have also bought a brand new battery, replaced the soft top cover, and put new palomino seat covers on. I also replaced the cd/mp3/usb player and installed all new speakers. This car is a lot of fun....I meant to sell this car much sooner than now but i love the way this thing rides....And since it is a 1988 it was the next to the last year for the classic 107 body style.....If you are buying this car you probably have all the specs so why bother, feel free to contact me with any questions....There is some minor body dings/paint damage but is original paint and i never bothered because it was never my intention to restore this car. ( I tried to get good pictures) The odometer is not accurate, my best estimate from the previous titles (which i have) Is that there is approx. 100,000 miles....This was a Texas car and was stored indoors at all times so there is no rust. There are new tires and a full spare w/ OEM jack in excellent condition. My intention is to sell this car, so i am setting the reserve at my break even (not including time) which is $8,500 good luck and please contact w/ any questions....This is an excellent classic car that rides and drives great. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I have.

Mercedes-Benz to build new ML coupe-crossover in Alabama in 2015
Fri, 05 Sep 2014Mercedes-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
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.
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
