Parts For Older-Model Mercedes-Benz Vehicles

Mercedes-Benz of Nanuet is committed to helping our customers keep their older-model Mercedes-Benz vehicles on the road. We understand that there are many people out there who love their older vehicles and prefer to do their own maintenance.

And many of them are still on the road as they were well-known for reliability.

This class also added standard safety features to the mid-range class like airbags, automatic-slip differential, and traction control. The second generation of Mercedes-Benz sedans referred to as “S-Class”. Touting unprecedented crash safety levels along with being the first mass-produced sedan with standard ABS, this generation of the S-Class combined class-leading safety technology with the level of luxury customers had come to expect from Mercedes-Benz. Taking the styling cues from the W129, the W140 brought the S-Class into the 90’s from a design perspective.

Photos of Mercedes-Benz’s updated SL hit the web last week so we already know about the cosmetic changes made to the car, which feature primarily at the front. Now, however, the car has made its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show and we have all the juicy details to tell you. The updated SL goes on sale late next spring, as a 2017 model, and we’re glad to report that more power has been added to the base car. The luxury convertible also benefits from Mercedes’ latest nine-speed automatic transmission, though the Mercedes-AMG sledgehammers stick with their seven-speed Speedshift auto. The SL550 continues with its twin-turbo 4.7-liter V-8, which was upgraded to 449 hp and 516 lb-ft for 2016, while Mercedes-AMG’s SL63 and SL65 continue with their respective twin-turbo 5.5-liter V-8 and twin-turbo 6.0-liter V-12 engines. The SL63 is good for 577 hp and 664 lb-ft while the SL65 throws down a massive 621 hp and 738 lb-ft.


The V-12 model is the quickest of the bunch, needing just 4.0 seconds to hit 60 mph. Top speed is limited to 186 mph. Performance of the cars can be adjusted by the standard Dynamic Select driving modes selector. Thanks to this feature, at the touch of a button the driver can adjust numerous vehicle settings such as the setup for the engine, transmission, suspension and steering, ranging from fuel-saving to sports modes. Steel suspension is standard and features continuously variable dampers, which can be adjusted via the aforementioned Dynamic Select system. As an option, Mercedes offers its Active Body Control with the latest curve tilting function that debuted in the S-Class Coupe and Convertible models. This system helps to reduces body movements when moving off, braking and cornering by adjusting the suspension spring struts constantly via hydraulic means. The exterior of the latest SL is dominated by the new LED headlights, hood and grille.
