In short, this is a really nice car. We are the second owners of the vehicle. Prior to our purchasing the car, 20 years ago, we had it thoroughly inspected and also made sure that it had the timing chain installed. When we bought the car, the odometer has just turned 40,000 miles. We have had it consistently maintained and have never driven it in the miserable Ohio winters. When garaged, the car is covered with a felt backed car cover (which we will provide) and Stabil has been added to the fuel tank. The last major maintenance that we had performed was in July, 2010. The work included an overhaul of the fuel pump, replacement of the water pump, new front and rear brake pads and rotors, replacement of all engine belts, installation of new battery and a complete replacement of the exhaust system (from the converter back) with all stainless steel parts.
Cosmetically, the car is in great condition. The soft-top was new when we bought the car and is still in great shape. The hard top is in excellent condition. When not in use, it is stored safely and covered. We have all of the original owner's manuals, the took kit and the first aid kit. The spare tire is in excellent condition.The only non-original part is the radio. The sound system is Alpine with integrated CD player. For added security when parked with the top down, it has a pop-out panel with carrying case. Since the car has aged gracefully, it does have three issues that you may want to address. The first is the carpeting. It is showing its age and is faded and worn in spots. The second is a missing chromed hinge cover plate on the driver's seat. Lastly, the plastic lenses that cover the map lights above the windshield have loosened with age and should be replaced.
From a pricing standpoint, the NADA Classic Car Guide shows this car, in this condition, has an average retail price of $22,500. We're not retail dealers, so we have priced the car to reflect this. The buyer will also assume all shipping costs.
We have cared for the car well in the twenty years we have owned it and in the 40,000 miles we have driven it. But, we are ready for a change. Our hope is that the next owner will appreciate and care for the car as we did. They don't make 'em like this anymore.

2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA order guide leaked
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The dealer order guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA has made its way online courtesy of the crew at CLAForums.com, and not only does it shed light on the ways buyers will be able to configure the entry-level sedan, it talks specific option pricing. Shoppers will be able to select between the CLA250 and CLA250 4Matic, and the option sheet should offer a number of packages to suit buyer tastes, including a sport package with tweaked fascias and unique wheels. Bi-xenon headlamps and 18-inch alloys may also be had as well as a panoramic sunroof and a collision avoidance system. The CLA will be available with a number of active safety systems on board, including lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, park assist and blind spot assist, to name a few.
The new sedan comes in 10 colors, including a very dashing purple Mecedes-Benz calls Northern Lights Violet, and there are a total of four interior trim finishes. The automaker hasn't released final pricing of all models just as of yet - we do know from Mercedes' Kate Upton Super Bowl ad that the car will start at $29,900 - but you can check out individual option and package pricing in the gallery. You can also find more information over at CLAForums.com.
Mercedes mulling Renault-based entry-level X-Class?
Sun, 17 Mar 2013Somewhere in between the Smart brand and the all-new A-Class (pictured above), Daimler is said to be readying a smaller entry-level product for the Mercedes-Benz brand to compete with models like the Audi A1. According to AutoBild, Mercedes-Benz will get a new hatchback based on a platform from its recent partnership with Renault-Nissan, and it could be called the X-Class.
Expected to debut by 2018, the Mercedes-Benz X-Class could be offered in sedan, hatchback and crossover variants, and it would likely have a starting price below the $20,000-euro mark. Power would come from either a 1.0-liter inline three-cylinder engine or a 1.5-liter inline-four, and the car would likely be built in a low-cost nation in order to make the financials work. Wearing the Mercedes-Benz name, the X-Class would have to exhibit more distinguishable luxury and styling to set itself apart from the models that helped provide its underpinnings.
Volvo S60 Polestar concept plays in the snow with Mercedes C63 AMG
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Chris Harris took to a snowy stretch of tarmac to get a fingertips-on-the-wheel feel of the Volvo S60 Polestar concept. Harris says the turbocharged sedan with 508 horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque - and a manual transmission - is "a study to see if Volvo can get back into the fast-car market." The Polestar S60 concept, one of which was already purchased for $300,000 by a private buyer, is still making the publicity rounds because even Volvo's Chinese owners realize that, as Harris says, "Volvo sold more cars because it made fast cars" like the old 850 T5 Wagon that stormed the British Touring Car Championship in the 1990s.
For reference, Harris compares the blue wonder to the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and its 487 hp and 442 lb-ft. The question is, were Volvo to get the price of a production version of the S60 Polestar to climb way down from its 200,000-pound sticker, could it be worthy competition to the established giants?
You can watch Harris divine the answer via a lot of drifting through the snow and a drag race in the video below.
