Let's try this again... Hello and thank you for looking at my auction. My name is Joe and I sell vehicles differently than most dealers. Buying your next car or truck through one of my NO RESERVE auctions is the best way to take the games out of your next automotive purchase. I personally road test each vehicle before it is offered for sale so I can give you my first hand opinion of how it runs and drives. Please keep in mind that I am not a mechanic. Each vehicle is represented accurately and honestly to the best of my knowledge and ability. Please take the time to read this entire description as well as our Terms & Conditions carefully BEFORE asking questions or placing a bid. An administrative fee of $149 will be added to the final bid of each auction. Up for a NO RESERVE auction is a quite rare 1992 Mercedes-Benz 300SL roadster with just 96k original miles. The roadsters with the inline six cylinder engine are very rare and quite desirable. I pounced on this one the second I saw it. This Mercedes has been in my personal collection for roughly two years. I bought it with the intention of picking at the few cosmetic issues it had from age and keeping it. Sadly, other things always seem to come up and this poor car just sits in my warehouse on a battery tender. I start her every so often just to keep everything in working order but I haven't managed to devote any more time to her than that. I've been thinning out my personal collection over the past year as I slowly convince myself that I don't need all the cars I've been hoarding. Unfortunately, I have come to terms with the fact that my straight six R129 would be better off with a caretaker who will love her and actually take her out driving. I bought this 300SL from a Mercedes-Benz dealer in Eastern PA a few years ago. From what I was told, it was handed down from an elderly man to one of his children who wanted something newer so they took this 300SL to the Mercedes dealer and traded it on something else. For a 22 year old car, the exterior shows very well. The color combination of the wine exterior over tan interior is striking and quite rare. This truly is a beautiful car. The body lines are nice and straight. The hood, doors and trunk all open and close easily. The finish shows a little fading on the hood from age as well as a few small blemishes here and there as you'd expect with a vehicle of this age. Overall, she looks good. All of the glass and lenses are intact, although the little trim piece around the left headlight is chipped. The alloy wheels show well and are wrapped in a matching set of rubber with deep tread. The tires hold air and feel fine on the road, but to be safe, I'd replace the tires because I don't know how old they are and I can see dry rot on the side wall of one. In the two years I've had the car, I've never had an issue with them...but I don't drive the car often so tires were kind of at the bottom of my list of concerns. Please take the time to check out each of the photos carefully to see how clean this 300SL looks. The interior is where most of the odds and ends are that need attention. The door cards are clean and tight but the wood veneers are loose on both doors by the seat switches. The carpets show well for their age. The seats should both be re-covered. The right seat is obviously worse than the left seat but I planned to do them both so they matched. I just never got around to it. The dash is clean. The center veneers show a little age but are clean looking overall. There are a few plastic trim pieces loose or missing here and there, too. The power windows, locks, mirrors and seats all appear to be working properly. The power top works, too. The climate control system is fully automatic and also appears to be working properly. I believe the air conditioner worked when I bought the car a few years ago. I tested it while taking these photos and it was not blowing cold so there is most likely a leak in the system somewhere. I'd have it charged and see what happens. The stereo is the original Becker cassette player with an Alpine CD changer in the trunk. You'll need to call the dealer and get the code for the stereo...or just upgrade it. The only other thing I noticed about the interior is that the dash lights do not come on. As with everything else, I haven't had the time to look at it. Everything works as it should, it just doesn't light up. Mechanically, this 300SL appears to be in good running and driving condition. I keep her on a battery tender most of the time so she always starts right up. She idles smoothly and behaves well. I haven't seen anything leaking and the engine doesn't smoke. Her road manners are excellent. The suspension feels tight and well sorted. The steering and brakes feel good, too. The engine makes good power and feels as smooth as silk...just like a straight six should. There have been no idiot lights on. The engine keeps perfect temperature and excellent oil pressure, too. The automatic transmission engages smoothly and shifts properly with no issues. Out on the highway, she drives nice and straight with absolutely no complaints. This 300SL is an absolute pleasure to drive. If you are looking for a legitimate low mile classic Mercedes-Benz roadster, this 300SL definitely deserves your consideration. If you look back at all of the Mercedes' that are currently appreciating, you'll see that they are all either gas or diesel inline six's. If you've ever wished you'd bought a valuable classic before it became untouchable, this is your chance. As long as you don't mind giving her a little bit of attention on the interior, you can get yourself a low mile example of a rare and desirable car in an equally rare and desirable color combination and have a car you can be proud of for decades to come. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding. I hope the next caretaker of this 300SL will get her out on the road where she belongs and enjoy her the way she is meant to be enjoyed.Features & Options 4-Wheel Disc Brakes AM/FM Stereo Air Bag Air conditioning Alloy Wheels Anti-lock brakes Automatic Transmission Body Side Moldings Cassette player Center Arm Rest Climate Control Coolant Temp.

We sell vehicles to the public with No Reserve auction pricing. Most of the vehicles we sell are trade-ins at new car dealerships or high volume used dealerships in the area. We get a lot of interesting, unique vehicles and many that have minor flaws. We give every vehicle a thorough test drive and a visual inspection and describe what we see and feel to you in our descriptions. We try to provide as thorough and accurate a description as possible as well as including 40-60 photos. Understand however, that we are not professional mechanics and cannot predict the future. There is additional risk in purchasing a vehicle this way versus buying a vehicle from a retail dealership that has been fully serviced and has a warranty. You will pay considerably less this way, but understand our vehicles are sold AS-IS and do not carry any kind of warranty. We have sold over one thousand vehicles on eBay, No Reserve, to happy new owners and we aim to continue to do so. We are very proud of our feedback score and our many repeat buyers. If you have any questions about how we sell, our policies or questions about a specific vehicle, please send us a message. Vehicles ten model years old and older are exempt from odometer disclosure, this is a federal law. Mileage may be listed as "exempt" or "TMU" on titles for vehicles older than ten model years old. Should we have reason to believe that mileage listed for a vehicle is inaccurate, this will be disclosed within the written description provided for the vehicle regardless of the odometer status listed on the title.Terms & Conditions If you wish to contact us for any reason, the quickest and best way to do so is through eBay's message system, AKA "Ask Seller a Question".

This Mercedes-Benz 300SL is being relisted due to a zero feedback non-paying bidder from California who sent one email following the conclusion of the auction and then dropped off the face of the earth. Let's try this again...
Hello and thank you for looking at my auction. My name is Joe and I sell vehicles differently than most dealers. Buying your next car or truck through one of my NO RESERVE auctions is the best way to take the games out of your next automotive purchase. I personally road test each vehicle before it is offered for sale so I can give you my first hand opinion of how it runs and drives. Please keep in mind that I am not a mechanic. Each vehicle is represented accurately and honestly to the best of my knowledge and ability. Please take the time to read this entire description as well as our Terms & Conditions carefully BEFORE asking questions or placing a bid. An administrative fee of $149 will be added to the final bid of each auction.
Up for a NO RESERVE auction is a quite rare 1992 Mercedes-Benz 300SL roadster with just 96k original miles. The roadsters with the inline six cylinder engine are very rare and quite desirable. I pounced on this one the second I saw it. This Mercedes has been in my personal collection for roughly two years. I bought it with the intention of picking at the few cosmetic issues it had from age and keeping it. Sadly, other things always seem to come up and this poor car just sits in my warehouse on a battery tender. I start her every so often just to keep everything in working order but I haven't managed to devote any more time to her than that. I've been thinning out my personal collection over the past year as I slowly convince myself that I don't need all the cars I've been hoarding. Unfortunately, I have come to terms with the fact that my straight six R129 would be better off with a caretaker who will love her and actually take her out driving.
I bought this 300SL from a Mercedes-Benz dealer in Eastern PA a few years ago. From what I was told, it was handed down from an elderly man to one of his children who wanted something newer so they took this 300SL to the Mercedes dealer and traded it on something else. For a 22 year old car, the exterior shows very well. The color combination of the wine exterior over tan interior is striking and quite rare. This truly is a beautiful car. The body lines are nice and straight. The hood, doors and trunk all open and close easily. The finish shows a little fading on the hood from age as well as a few small blemishes here and there as you'd expect with a vehicle of this age. Overall, she looks good. All of the glass and lenses are intact, although the little trim piece around the left headlight is chipped. The alloy wheels show well and are wrapped in a matching set of rubber with deep tread. The tires hold air and feel fine on the road, but to be safe, I'd replace the tires because I don't know how old they are and I can see dry rot on the side wall of one. In the two years I've had the car, I've never had an issue with them...but I don't drive the car often so tires were kind of at the bottom of my list of concerns. Please take the time to check out each of the photos carefully to see how clean this 300SL looks.
The interior is where most of the odds and ends are that need attention. The door cards are clean and tight but the wood veneers are loose on both doors by the seat switches. The carpets show well for their age. The seats should both be re-covered. The right seat is obviously worse than the left seat but I planned to do them both so they matched. I just never got around to it. The dash is clean. The center veneers show a little age but are clean looking overall. There are a few plastic trim pieces loose or missing here and there, too. The power windows, locks, mirrors and seats all appear to be working properly. The power top works, too. The climate control system is fully automatic and also appears to be working properly. I believe the air conditioner worked when I bought the car a few years ago. I tested it while taking these photos and it was not blowing cold so there is most likely a leak in the system somewhere. I'd have it charged and see what happens. The stereo is the original Becker cassette player with an Alpine CD changer in the trunk. You'll need to call the dealer and get the code for the stereo...or just upgrade it. The only other thing I noticed about the interior is that the dash lights do not come on. As with everything else, I haven't had the time to look at it. Everything works as it should, it just doesn't light up.
Mechanically, this 300SL appears to be in good running and driving condition. I keep her on a battery tender most of the time so she always starts right up. She idles smoothly and behaves well. I haven't seen anything leaking and the engine doesn't smoke. Her road manners are excellent. The suspension feels tight and well sorted. The steering and brakes feel good, too. The engine makes good power and feels as smooth as silk...just like a straight six should. There have been no idiot lights on. The engine keeps perfect temperature and excellent oil pressure, too. The automatic transmission engages smoothly and shifts properly with no issues. Out on the highway, she drives nice and straight with absolutely no complaints. This 300SL is an absolute pleasure to drive. If you are looking for a legitimate low mile classic Mercedes-Benz roadster, this 300SL definitely deserves your consideration. If you look back at all of the Mercedes' that are currently appreciating, you'll see that they are all either gas or diesel inline six's. If you've ever wished you'd bought a valuable classic before it became untouchable, this is your chance. As long as you don't mind giving her a little bit of attention on the interior, you can get yourself a low mile example of a rare and desirable car in an equally rare and desirable color combination and have a car you can be proud of for decades to come. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding. I hope the next caretaker of this 300SL will get her out on the road where she belongs and enjoy her the way she is meant to be enjoyed.

We go out of our way to provide as detailed of a description as possible as well as posting 40-60 photos of each vehicle. If you have any questions feel free to send us an email using the "Ask seller a Question" link so that we can address your question or concern. Please wait to place your bid until you are completely comfortable.

Additionally, you enter into a binding contract to purchase the item they are bidding on should you be the winning bidder.

Winning Bidders:
Winning bidders are required to contact us via eBay Message within 48 hours of auction close and make arrangements for payment and vehicle pick-up. Please do not leave a voicemail on the office phone.
Full payment is due within 7 day of the auction's end. The prefferred method is to bring cash in person to complete the sale. If you are unable to bring cash in person within seven days or will be having the vehicle shipped, we also accept Certified Checks, USPS Postal Money Orders, and wire transfer.

Vehicles that are not picked up within 14 days of auction's end will be charged a $10/day storage fee, unless other arrangments are made.
Non-paying Bidders:
We take great pride in our work and are very serious about what we do. Likewise, we expect the people who bid on our auctions to be serious about honoring their bid. If you are the successful bidder for any of our auctions and do not pay for your vehicle within the specified time, an Unpiad Item case willbe opend with eBay. This can severely restirct yur ability to purchse from all eBay sellers. You will be charged a $249 re-listing fee. All unpaid fees will be handed over to a collection agency and pursued to the fullest extent of the law.
Fee and Tax Information: The only fee added by the seller is our $149 fee. This is used to isolate our fixed expenses such as eBay fees, transportation, processing, etc., and is not applied to any costs incurred by the purchaser.
The purchaser is responsible for any and all costs associated with transfer of ownership including, but not limited to: registration, sales tax, tags (including temp or in-transit tags), title transfer, inspection, and transportation expenses.
We are a PennDOT issuing agent and able to complete most tag, registration, and title work, as well as collect sales tax, for Pennsylvania residents.
For out-of-state buyers PennDOT offers a 30-day temporary tag (aka In-Transit tag). The cost is $45 and the buyer must show a valid driver's license and current proof of insurance. We can issue them at our office.
We offer a unique way of purchasing a vehicle. We sell vehicles to the public with No Reserve auction pricing. Most of the vehicles we sell are trade-ins at new car dealerships or high volume used dealerships in the area. We get a lot of interesting, unique vehicles and many that have minor flaws. We give every vehicle a thorough test drive and a visual inspection and describe what we see and feel to you in our descriptions. We try to provide as thorough and accurate a description as possible as well as including 40-60 photos. Understand however, that we are not professional mechanics and cannot predict the future.
There is additional risk in purchasing a vehicle this way versus buying a vehicle from a retail dealership that has been fully serviced and has a warranty. You will pay considerably less this way, but understand our vehicles are sold AS-IS and do not carry any kind of warranty.
We have sold over one thousand vehicles on eBay, No Reserve, to happy new owners and we aim to continue to do so. We are very proud of our feedback score and our many repeat buyers. If you have any questions about how we sell, our policies or questions about a specific vehicle, please send us a message.
Vehicles ten model years old and older are exempt from odometer disclosure, this is a federal law. Mileage may be listed as "exempt" or "TMU" on titles for vehicles older than ten model years old. Should we have reason to believe that mileage listed for a vehicle is inaccurate, this will be disclosed within the written description provided for the vehicle regardless of the odometer status listed on the title.
This auction is a legally binding contract to buy this vehicle. All vehicles are sold as-is unless otherwise specified. I have done my best to accurately describe this vehicle. It is up to the buyer to come see and further inspect the car before the end of the auction.-->
