S-Class 2-Door Coupes are rare. This one, a 1994, is part of the Model 140 series that began in 1991 and was replaced by the Model 220 series in 1998. The Model 140 was the largest of the S-class and the only model offering a two-door body configuration.  In 1998 the S500 Coupe was re-branded to the CL500. As big as it is, it only seats four. The backseats are as big as the front ones and there is a huge arm rest between them. There are only two seat belts in the backseat. Minor scratches. The bumpers, front and back, were re-conditioned last year; they are like new. 


I am the second owner. I bought it on eBay in 2003 from a seller in Santa Barbara. I never had it outside of California except for a trip to Las Vegas and one to Phoenix.

Never smoked in. AC blows cold. 

There is a pretty elaborate car-phone but it is incapatable with available service providers. 

The speaker grill in the passenger door as a hole it in about the side of a quarter. The speaker itself works.

There is no sign of cracks in the dashboard and just a minor blemish in the wood panel next to the gear shifter. The rest of the wood tirm is in show-room condition. All four seats and the carpter are in very good condition.

The radio provides AM, FM, Cassette, CD, and WB. WB is Weather Band. It works but I can't say I listen to it a lot. The CD mode goes to a six-CD player in the trunk.

When you start the car "arms", one for the driver and one for the frontseat passenger, hand you the seat belt over your sholder. Then they retract. It may take getting use to.

When you put the car in reverse, rear parking markers come up out of the rear fenders about 5 inches. When you move out of reverse they retract. (Hard to get a picture of. You don't want to put the car in reverse and get out to take a picture. I shot one out the back window.)

The double-pane door-glass seals you in. When you open the door, both driver and passenger, the door window retracts about a half-inch. When the door closes the glass returns to a normal closed position inside the rubber window frame. Virually eliminates road noise.

Comes with the original Owners Manual in a black zipper case with the Mecedes star on it. 

Comes with a toolkit that fits inside the rim of the spare tire. I've never had to use it. 

Comes with a first-aid kit (Original)  that stores in a comparment above the backseat arm rest (marked with a small green cross). 

Comes with two remote "keys" and two separate conventional keys. The remote on the passenger side does not aways work but if you use the conventinal key it aways does.

Chris Harris and David Coulthard wring out a Mercedes Fintail at the N"urburgring

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

If there's one thing we've learned from the latest video from Drive, it's that the combination of Chris Harris and David Coulthard will produce some very quotable moments. Take this exchange, for example.
DC: "We are by some way the slowest."
CH: "But we're in a class of three cars, apparently."

Does Alex Rodriguez' Mercedes dealership have a PR problem?

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Alex Rodriguez, in case you haven't heard, is seemingly the new Most Hated Man In Baseball, ostensibly replacing commissioner Bud Selig (for now). Rodriguez was slammed with a 211-game suspension due to his role in the MLB's latest steroid scandal in which "A-Roid," as fans have taken to calling the former superstar, was cited with steroid use and attempts to hide his involvement by "engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate" the investigation, according to the MLB's official report.
Why is this on a car site, then? Because Rodriguez' name is attached Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz in League City, TX. An Ad Age report cites Mercedes-Benz USA in saying that A-Rod owns "about half'" of the dealership. Mercedes, for what it's worth, isn't going to any to any lengths to distance itself from its dealership or its controversial namesake, saying, "We never promoted the fact that A-Rod owned a dealership, so there's really nothing to 'distance' ourselves from. And since his activity is not illegal but rather prohibited by MLB, there's nothing actionable here."
With the scandal still a fresh piece of news and A-Rod's pending appeal, it's difficult to tell what sort of effect, if any, his name will have on the dealership's sales. Ad Age contacted the GM of Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz to get the dealership's view, but no calls were returned. According to Mercedes, any name change is up to Rodriguez and his partner(s) at the dealership. Somehow, though, we think A-Rod has other things to worry about beyond his dealership's name.

Mercedes making aggressive plans for Chinese market

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

Mercedes-Benz is preparing a major product offensive to counteract lagging sales in the Chinese market, aiming 20 new or updated models at the People's Republic in the next two years, according to a report by Reuters. The plan is part of MB's so-called 2020 Initiative, which will see the Stuttgart-based manufacturer dump 2 billion Euros ($2.67 billion) into its Chinese market vehicles in a bid to boost sales to 300,000 units by 2015.
Were it to succeed, China would become the largest market for the Silver Arrow, outpacing Germany and the United States. Leading the charge will be the redesigned E-Class, which is set to launch in China this week. That will quickly be followed by the S-Class, and eventually by the GLA-Class in 2014.
Mercedes has struggled in China, especially relative to its German competition, BMW and Audi. Where Mercedes saw a mere four-percent increase in 2012 sales to 206,150 units, Audi was up a staggering 32 percent, while BMW's numbers jumped 41 percent. While some voices, according to Reuters, accuse Munich and Ingolstadt of boosting their numbers through hefty incentives, the fact remains that Mercedes was just walloped by its competitors last year.
