2002 G500 W/2011 Update - 2011 Grille, Xenon Headlights, Led Taillights on 2040-cars
Newport Beach, California, United States
|
Selling my 2002 Mercedes Benz G500 that has been tastefully updated with
a new 2009-2011 grille, Xenon headlights, LED taillights, and white
side markers to look exactly like a 2011 model. It has black leather interior to
go with the black exterior, the most popular combination (the gray
interiors look awful in person). An iPod connector with a bluetooth add-on has
also been added and the original 18" wheels have been powder coated
black to give it a distinctive look. It has 106,000 miles on it.
This G-Wagen has been well cared for and is in excellent condition inside and out. I'm only considering selling it because my commute is going to become 75 miles a day and I don't want to put so many miles on this great vehicle. It has been an excellent daily driver for me though, and I've put almost 25,000 miles on it in the last 18 months. As I've always intended to keep it for the long term, I've had a lot of extra work done on it, that didn't have to be done at the time, but will benefit the new owner. In the last 18 months, besides normal maintenance, I've had the following work done on it: - Complete front end rebuild - there were some leaking seals (you'll have that after a dozen years) so while they were taking it apart I had the whole front end done. Full tear down of the axles, replaced all seals/bushings, replaced complete steering linkage assembly and tie rod ends (have receipts) spent over $2500 with independent mechanic that I've used on my Mercedes for years, would have been been over $5K at the MB Dealer. - Complete tune-up including new plugs & wires (16 of them! 2 per cylinder) -New Rotors & Brake Pads in front & back -New Windshield - picked up a chip and hated all the fine chips on the windshield creating glare, so instead of fixing, I paid to replace it (G windshields are not cheap) so it feels like you are looking out of a brand new vehicle when you look out the massive windshield This G runs great, looks great, and all electronics work great. If you are interested, please feel free to ask me any questions, or request a link to additional photos. If possible, I'd prefer to have serious buyers see it in person before the auction closes, so don't hesitate to contact me to come see it. During the week, the G will generally be in Corona and it will usually be in Newport on the weekends, I can work to accommodate showing it in either place. |

Missouri Mercedes dealer offering free Smart with every SLS AMG purchase
Wed, 05 Dec 2012The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT is an exquisite sports car that probably needs no help flying off dealer lots, even with a starting price of almost $200,000, but Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City has come up with an interesting incentive to sweeten the deal. For buyers who purchase a new SLS AMG from dealer stock before the end of the year, the dealership is throwing in a new Smart Fortwo from its inventory at no charge... with a required coupon no less.
In addition to being a great tactic to get a little free press, the spare car also makes sense as an alternative to the SLS, which measures more than 15-feet long - almost twice the length of a Fortwo - and has a 563-horsepower engine that sucks down gas at the rate of 13 miles per gallon in city driving (and even that's provided you don't give in to the devil on your shoulder). Plus, at the end of the day, this really isn't that big of an incentive. Being given a slow-selling $12,490 car for the purchase of a model starting at $199,500 represents about a six percent incentive, which is along the lines of a $1,900 rebate for a $30,000 car.
To get the free Smart, just visit the Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City Facebook page, redeem the coupon and then go buy yourself a new SLS AMG. Congratulations!
Mercedes was set to sell version of Nissan Titan, now Infiniti might instead
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Mercedes-Benz Titan. Mercedes-Benz Frontier. Mercedes-Benz pickup truck. None of these things roll off the tongue particularly well. We'd like to think that's the reason Daimler opted to kill the idea of rebadged Titan and Frontier pickups from corporate ally Nissan. In reality, the execution before the Frankfurt Motor Show was due to more complicated issues.
Yes, Mercedes, byword for German luxury, style and quality, would have slapped a three-pointed star on a pair of Japanese pickup trucks that have failed to resonate with consumers in the world's largest truck market. That slapping of badges isn't much of an exaggeration, at least on the outside. According to the report from Road & Track, the truck's front clip would have been tweaked, but beyond that, the sheetmetal would have been unchanged. The interior would have received a more thorough going-over by the team at Mercedes, while the suspension and noise, vibration and harshness tuning would have also received significant attention.
The trucks would have ended up being sold through the light-commercial branch of Mercedes-Benz - the same folks that will happily sell you a Sprinter van - had the deal gone through. Issues arose, though, first with the engines. Mercedes wanted a wider range of powertrains to allow it to tune models for specific markets, while Nissan said it couldn't engineer the wide variety of engines that MB wanted to drop under the hood. For the smaller truck, meanwhile, MB was interested in a hybrid or plug-in variant, according to R&T, although this was also shot down by Nissan.
