This car was originally to by RBM Atlanta to a Thomas D'Alessio. He sold it to the father of the man I purchased it from. He was a Mercedes mechanic and the car passed to his son when he died. The car was meticulously maintained from new with every oil change record noted in the maintenance book. Every page of the service book is complete. In addition there are detailed service and repair records from new to the current date. When the so had the car he embarked on a complete maintenance and restoration project that generally started in 2005 and was mostly completed by 2009. There are volumes of receipts and notes from the work he did on the car. He did the restoration as a tribute to his dad and his license plate read, "FORMYDAD".
The car was stripped to bare metal and re-painted in it's original "Light Ivory". This is a very high quality paint job, probably it would cost as much as the car to have it prepped and painted to this level. There are no dings or scratches. New cad plated hardware was used for door latch, hood and trunk latch pieces. All rubber parts on the car were replaced. All anodized trim was replaced. Glass is very nice. There are a few scratches on the front and rear bumpers. They appear original.
The interior is original except for new carpet and refinished wood trim. There are several cracks in the leather seats and in the dash. Headliner is without tears. Overall, the interior is very clean and matches the quality of the exterior. Everything works as far as switches, gauges, etc. in the interior.
The trunk is very clean with new rubber mats, and it includes the original, unused spare, full tool roll and jack.
He re-built the engine and transmission in August 2005 at about 210,000 miles. Currently it has about 226,075 miles. Under the hood, much was replaced, including new PAC automatic climate control system, new steering box, new a/c components, re-built injection pump, re-built vacuum system, and more. The engine compartment is also detailed.
Under the car, all wheel calipers were replaced, new exhaust system fitted, new cv axles, new sub frame mounts, re-balanced drive shaft, new shocks, torsion bar bushings, differential mounts, park brake cable, rear coil springs and mounts and more.
From 2005 to 2013 many more maintenance items were recorded in the books. Recently one o-ring was replaced at the injector pump and the a/c system serviced.
Underside the car is very clean, with no sign of rust.
The car presents very well, drives smoothly, and is probably as reliable as an older Mercedes can get.

Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG shows up to fight the hottest hatches [w/videos]
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Fun coincidence. On the same day that Audi announces the unveiling of its new S3 Sportback at the Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz steals the spotlight by confirming that the all-new A45 AMG will also receive its official debut early next month. Starting life as the entry-level A-Class hatchback, the A45 AMG gets the full AMG treatment, which includes numerous performance, handling and styling upgrades.
Under the hood sits an AMG-tuned 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 breathing through a sport exhaust system helping the five-door produce 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired to a seven-speed AMG dual-clutch transmission and power is sent to the ground using 4Matic all-wheel drive. Mercedes-Benz says that the A45 AMG will be able to accelerate from 0-60 miles per hour in under 4.5 seconds and it will have a top speed of 155 mph; in the land of hot hatches, it doesn't get much hotter than that. For added performance and handling, AMG has retuned the A-Class' suspension and steering systems and equipped The A45 with a three-stage stability control system that is specific to this car.
Surprisingly, the exterior styling of the A-Class was already sporty enough that the new model doesn't receive too many changes to become the A45 AMG. The biggest alterations include black accents to the chin spoiler, rocker panels and mirror caps, black wheels with red-painted brake calipers and rectangular dual exhaust outlets. Inside, it doesn't take a trained eye to spot the differences. The flat-bottomed sport steering wheel and the numerous red accents throughout the cabin (including the seatbelts!) really help to make this AMG interior stand out; front passengers will also get sport bucket seats that appear to be more than supportive enough for even the most spirited driving conditions.
Russia gives its Olympic medalists new Mercedes
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Russian medalists at the recently concluded Sochi Winter Olympics are being rewarded quite handsomely for their service to the Motherland. In addition to the $120,000 being handed out for each gold medal, the $76,000 being awarded for slivers and $52,000 given to bronze winners, now word has come out that each of Russia's medalists will be gifted a new Mercedes-Benz.
As with the prize amounts, the type of Mercedes offered was based on what sort of medal was won. Gold medalists got a new GL-Class, silver medalists were given an ML and bronze medalists were treated to a GLK. As prices for Mercedes are higher in Russia, the cheapest model, the GLK, was the equivalent of $59,500, according to The Moscow Times. The cars were handed out by Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, pictured above with figure skating medalist Julia Lipnitskaia.
"I was a bit shocked at the car I was given," Anton Shipulin, a member of the gold-medal biathlon relay team, told RIA-Novosti. "Of course I knew what kind of model it would be, but I didn't totally believe it." For athletes not old enough to drive, like 15-year-old Lipnitskaia, their Mercedes will come complete with a driver.
AMG-powered Aston Martins still years away
Mon, 16 Sep 2013After flirting for several years, Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin have finally tied the knot. Just don't expect to see any offspring to result from the union for at least three or four years.
This according to Auto Express, which spoke with Daimler chief Dr. Dieter Zetsche at the Frankfurt Motor Show last week. AE reports that a new range of AMG-developed turbocharged V8s, transmissions and electrical components will make their way into the successors to the current V8 Vantage and DB9, but that these models are still a few years off.
Purists might balk at the thought of a Mercedes-powered Aston holding true to the brand's heritage. But while David Brown (for whom the DB range is named) may have steered clear of shoehorning in Detroit muscle into his cars, the entirety of the company's current range is powered by engines borrowing technology from Ford, and that arrangement seems to have worked well for Aston until now. And if you're still skeptical, look no further than Pagani and its AMG-sourced engines and you should have all the proof you need that the new relationship between Daimler and Aston could be a success.
