1991 Mercedes 500sl Roadster Convertible on 2040-cars
Staten Island, New York, United States
My 1991 Mercedes 500SL roadster is in real good condition and been very well maintained. It has very low mileage for being a 23+ year classic car (99,000 miles). This Mercedes is a classy hard to find combination of a Black exterior with a Palomino (dark tan) interior. It has an automatic transmission, cold air conditioning, power locks, windows, seats, cruise control, power telescopic steering wheel, keyless entry, driver and passenger airbags, automatic roll bar, etc. Whether 10mph or 100mph this roadster drives absolutely fantastic. I own a few classic cars and need to make some room. This 500SL is insured by Safco as a Classic Car and my full cover insurance premium for one year is $275. This specific car was purchased brand new in November, 1990 by Actor/Producer/Screenwriter/Director Warren Beatty. I still have his Vehicle Warranty Booklet issued to him with the VIN# and address of his Los Angeles "Mulholland Production Company" along with his Maintenance Booklet "stamped" by the MB dealers in Hollywood, C.A. and Van Nuys C.A. The interior is in very nice condition and has beautiful wood accents throughout the interior. This Mercedes has the original AM/FM cassette with a factory CD changer mounted in the trunk. The one button touch automatic convertible top and roll bar function 100%. The car also comes with the hardtop that is in excellent condition as well as a new headliner with padding installed. I also have a hard top cart and car cover made for this car. I have a clean title and below is just some of the recent proactive maintenance that has been performed: New battery New wires New distributor cap New spark plugs New motor mounts New vacuum hoses |

Consumer Reports selling its road-tested roadsters [w/video]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Here's a chance to acquire a celebrity-owned vehicles, and this time at a discount instead of a premium. So the celebrity in this case is Consumer Reports, that magazine that could be equally adored and abhored by car enthusiasts. CR buys all of its test vehicles and usually finds willing second owners within its own ranks, but its opening its small used-car lot to the public. On the forecourt are four roadsters: an automatic 2012 Audi TT 2.0 TFSI Quattro S-Tronic with 6,600 miles for $36,500, a manual 2012 BMW Z4 sDrive28i with 8,400 miles for $45,000, a manual 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK250 for $39,500 and a manual 2013 Porsche Boxster with 7,000 miles for $48,000.
Those numbers mean a savings of $9,000 to $10,000 before haggling - each car is listed with an "Asking price" so there could be some wiggle room if you show up with pockets full of dough and eyes full of serious intent. Since the money CR earns from the sales go back into the magazine's budget to buy more test cars, however, it probably won't take any oddball trades, so you can forget about getting any purchasing help from that track-day AMC Javelin project on blocks in the back yard.
The vehicles have been taken care of and spiffed up for sale; buyers will take delivery at the CR test track in East Haddam, Connecticut and get a tour of the facilities. While you're there they'll even take you on a lap around the track so you can feel how your car handles when driven by one of its testers. They will probably not help you with advice on which toaster and dehumidifier to buy - you'll still need to get a subscription for that. Have a look at the video below to see a day in the life of a CR test car.
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.
2017 Aston Marin Lagonda could live on Mercedes M-Class platform
Tue, 29 Oct 2013A few weeks ago, we brought you news from the launch of the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante that the British brand, which is formally known as Aston Martin Lagonda, was still planning on going ahead with a Lagonda-badged crossover. Now comes word that that vehicle could very well be based on a Mercedes-Benz M-Class.
When the first Lagonda Concept debuted at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, it sat on a Mercedes-Benz GL-Class platform, some four years before Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG deal was inked. And with that partnership, which will see Aston Martin gain access to AMG electrics and "bespoke, V8 powertrains," the opportunities for platform sharing are many.
Dr. Ulrich Bez, the boss of Aston Martin, told the UK's AutoCar, "I look at what Porsche is doing with the 911 as its core business and then it is able to do models like the Cayenne based on the Volkswagen Touareg. It is good business." We've said many times that we'll tolerate exotic CUVs and SUVs if it means keeping the beloved core models alive, which has been the case with Porsche. We see no reason Aston Martin wouldn't be able to do the same.
