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.

Next Mercedes-Benz GLK to get AMG variant? Not likely...
Fri, 15 Mar 2013If you think Mercedes-Benz will slap an AMG badge on anything with wheels, think again. Word has it the German manufacturer will not offer buyers a performance version of the GLK, with Tobias Moers, director of AMG vehicle development, saying that he doesn't see a market for the car. That's not to say the picture won't change in the near future, however. According to CarAdvice.com, AMG is keeping a close eye on the arrival of the Porsche Macan.
"Maybe there will be a change in the market when the Porsche [Macan] comes up," Moers said, "but right now, no."
The real hitch in the giddy-up seems to be cost. Moers says developing the machine into something worthy of an AMG would represent "a huge investment." We can't exactly argue with that. Fortunately, AMG buyers have plenty of Mercedes-Benz models to choose from.
Mercedes considering GLA-based crossover coupe
Wed, 30 Apr 2014BMW opened a whole Pandora's Box when it introduced the X6 back in 2008. Sure it made little sense, sacrificing all that "utility" for a little more "sport," but it's been a solid success for BMW - especially considering the nominal expense it cost to develop the X6 on top of the X5 on which it's based. Little wonder that, while BMW has already followed up with a smaller version in the form of the X4, other automakers are starting to catch up. And that includes Mercedes-Benz.
The German automaker is preparing to launch a new MLC, based on the M-Class but with a sportier silhouette, and previewed it with the Concept Coupe SUV at the Beijing Motor Show. But that's just the start, according to the latest report from Automotive News Europe.
Mercedes is reportedly considering spinning off an entire line of crossovers more for use on the road than off it. Which may go without saying for most crossovers on the market, but considering the Geländwagen with which Mercedes got its start in SUVs, would mean an even further departure than it has undertaken already.
XCAR marks 20-year anniversary of Senna's passing with Mercedes 190E Cosworth
Thu, 01 May 2014While the automotive world is focusing on the twentieth anniversary of Ayrton Senna's death, there was much, much more to the legendary driver than his untimely passing at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.
XCAR has the story of a younger Senna, who, by a stroke of luck, found himself matched up against a veritable dream team of nine Formula One champions, not to mention a cadre of German touring car aces. A "probably still pissed (drunk)" James Hunt, hard-driving Niki Lauda and future champion and rival Alain Prost, were in attendance for the one-off, spec race, which was put on by Mercedes-Benz, in honor of the opening of the Nürburgring's Grand Prix circuit. And Senna was on hand with the explicit goal of besting them all.
Each driver was handed a lightly modified, but brand-new 190E 2.3-16 Cosworth, a car that can best be though of as the distant ancestor of the lovable C63 AMG. As for the race itself, well, it was sort of like an introduction of what the sport could come to expect from the Brazilian.
