I originally had this vehicle listed in Seattle, but the reserve was not met.  I since drove it from Seattle to Las Vegas with no mechanical issues.  The car cruised nicely and comfortably on cruise control at 75 mph the whole way down.  Upon arriving in Las Vegas I had the oil changed and the new tires rotated.

I have since taken two trip once to LA and the 2nd trip to San Diego in the car and have had no mechanical issues.

Power windows, cruise control, interval wipers, adjustable seats are all in excellent working condition.  AC was recently services and blows ice cold and the heater heats up the entire car in less than two minutes.  All climate control features are in excellent working order.

Original mats (front & back) have been covered for most of their lives and are in excellent condition.  Spare tire and ALL the original chrome tools are included and are in trunk with the original jack.

This vehicle was purchased new in Germany as part of the German Delivery Program (vehicle as the original badge on the front grill).  Does not burn or drip any oil and transmission shifts smoothly. 

Vehicle as NOT been smoked in - ashtrays and lighter are unused.

MINOR ISSUES - the power antenna works but sticks occasionaly, when I got to Las Vegas I oiled it and it is now functioning.   The speedometer sometimes sticks on zero, but jumps up once you hit highway speeds. 

In Seattle I put on four brand NEW white wall tires (with approx. 2,000 miles on them) and installed a brand new full sized battery (with seven year AAA warranty).  I have managed to accumulate most of the original manuals and books which I have all scanned copies of into my computer.

The leather seats have no rips or tears and for the years are in good condition.  The wood interior is not chip or blemished and the dash is in excellent condition with just three hairline cracks which are hardly noticable.  Only thing required for the interior to be original is to replace the Sony cassette deck (which was installed by the owner in the 80s) with the Becker unit (I have not been able to locate one of the original Beckers in working order).

Exterior is in amazing condition for being the original paint and chrome.  The chrome as is not pitted.  The paint is in good condition, it does have some minor scratches and parking lot dents, but these are barely noticable.

Cetificate of title is clean and platet tags are current.   Please call me with any questions - 702-666-7131 - vehicle is located in Las Vegas, NV.

Mercedes teams with Pebble for smartwatch tech

Tue, 24 Dec 2013

Most automakers have realized by now that a good infotainment system is a must-have feature for many buyers, and have, as a result, invested increasing amounts of time and money developing these technologies. But some automakers are going above and beyond in-car entertainment and navigation technology by focusing on wearable technology as well.
Nissan has emerged as one such company, developing its own alternative to Google Glass and performance-oriented smartwatch. But Mercedes-Benz is also putting itself at the forefront of wearable tech - not by developing competing products to those designed by dedicated tech companies, but by working with them. The German automaker, as we recently reported, is developing its own app for Google Glass, and is now doing the same with smartwatches as well.
Set to be unveiled at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Mercedes has collaborated with Pebble Technologies to develop the Digital DriveStyle app. The system will display tell its wearer where the car is, whether the doors are locked and if it needs fuel. Inside the car it'll alert the driver to potential hazards coming up on the road, while making functions like re-routing the nav system, controlling the audio system or activating Siri that much easier.

New details emerge on forthcoming Mercedes-Benz SLC

Sat, 02 Feb 2013

Last we heard, the Mercedes-Benz SLC had been put on indefinite hold, but now Car Magazine is reporting that the Porsche 911-fighting "Baby SLS" coupe could be on sale by 2015. Riding on a modified SLS AMG chassis, the smaller and lighter SLC could be priced in the sub-$100,000 price bracket.
We'd already heard that the new car would feature conventional doors (instead of SLS-like gullwing doors), but this report focuses on some of the possible powertrains Mercedes-Benz is likely to use. At launch, the SLC could offer a pair of V8-powered models - a 485-horsepower SLC and a 585-hp SLC S - both being powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. About a year after launch, a new V6 model could emerge giving the SLC an estimated 333 horsepower and its lowest price point.
It also sounds like the car's name hasn't been completely finalized as some people within Mercedes are favoring a return of the SLR name.
