For Sale Today: 1993 Mercedes Benz 600 SL Convertible w Both Power Soft and Hardtops.This is a very clean car that's been driven very little in the last few years. The owner is a car dealership owner and this was his wife's car, whom passed away last year quite suddenly and he asked me to help him sell it on e-bay, as it has been hard for him to part with her car. If you have any questions I will pass them on to him, but I have had the opportunity to drive the car and it is a "sweet car". I don't know much about these cars, but I was told that it cost over 120,000 dollars in 1993 new. The A/C blows ice cold, and as far as I can see everything works as it should. It has dual leather power driver and passenger seats, completely power convertible soft top and a hardtop as well as a Kenwood C.D Stereo system. I see others talk about a hydraulic suspension control system,(but I'm not sure how that works) as I only drove it about 10 miles, but car drives very nice to me. Don't have any other paperwork for the car, but it has been well maintained, as you can see in the photos. If you have any questions about the car or anything at all, just e-mail me BEFORE you bid, and I will get you an answer. The car is for sale at a dealer friends car lot,in the showroom, with a asking price that matches the buy it now price. We fully intend to let the auction proceed to the last bid, as the car needs to sell to a new home, however we do reserve the right to cancel all bids if the car sells of the lot before the auction concludes. Bid with confidence, but as with any used 20 year old car, it is being SOLD AS-IS AS SEEN IN PHOTOS with "NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR GIVEN. We invite all interested parties to come personally or send a professional to inspect the car for them before placing any bids. Once you bid, your bid will not be retracted or cancelled, because, you didn't view the car in person, or you don't have the funds available, or lost your job. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY OR CANT GET THE MONEY DON'T BID!!!!! Illinois residents will have to pay Illinois Sales Tax and Registration Fees that will be added to the Actual sale amount. All out of State buyers will be handed the title and will be responsible for fees at the time they register it, wherever. A NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT will be REQUIRED @the end of the bidding process. This is to ensure that the transaction will be completed in a timely fashion. PLEASE AGAIN E-MAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING ON THE CAR BEFORE YOU BID!!!!!!!!!!!I WILL RESPOND TO ALL QUESTIONS AND GIVE THE BEST POSSIBLE ANSWERS THAT I CAN GET. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK BIDDING, THIS IS A NO-RESERVE AUCTION, SO BID EARLY AND OFTEN. THE LAST BIDDER WILL OWN THIS CAR. DON'T GET SNIPED AT THE LAST SECOND.

2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Edition 507 still lights our fire
Wed, 06 Mar 2013The current Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG may be in the autumn of its years, but it's still one of our very favorite sport sedans. Ever. Yes, its paddle-shift transmission may not always follow orders, but with stupendous levels of thrust from its charismatic naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8, ebullient rear-wheel-drive dynamics and that noise, we frankly don't care that it's getting on a bit.
As a sendoff of sorts for the current generation, Mercedes-Benz has just introduced a new Edition 507 model at the Geneva Motor Show, with 507 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque - an increase of 56 horses over the standard car. Mercedes credits the substitution of low-mass internals from the SLS AMG gullwing for the power bump, a tactic shared with the AMG Development Package upgrade that has been subsumed by this Edition 507. 0-60 is quoted at 4.1 seconds and top speed at 174 mph.
The Edition 507 borrows its aluminum hood from the C63 AMG Black Series Coupe, along with spidery new 19-inch wheels in either titanium gray finish or matte black with shiny rim flanges. As seen on our gallery car above, a sports striping package is also featured, as are glossy black grille, daytime running lamps, spoiler and mirror caps.
Clark Gable's 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing doesn't sell, then does sell for $1.85 million [UPDATE: w/video]
Sat, 19 Jan 2013How much extra value does previous celebrity ownership add to of a car? Really, there's no way to know until the car in question hits the auction block and bidders start raising their hands. In the case of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing you see above, the celebrity owner is none other than Clark Gable, who purchased it new. After Gable's death in 1960, the car changed hands a few times before settling with Charles Wood in 1975.
A high-dollar restoration was performed in 1989, and period accessories added by Gable himself were kept in place, including the Rudge knock-off wheels and Nardi steering wheel. Any Mercedes-Benz 300SL is worth a big chunk of money. In the case of Clark Gable's old Gullwing, the bidding stalled at $1.9 million here at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale. As one of the 5000-series cars, this 300SL carried a reserve, and a bit of after-the-fact dealmaking saw the car change hands for $1.85 million.
You can see our high-res image gallery above, and the car's official auction description below.
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).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
