Now, she shows around 340,000 miles. The gauge cluster was replaced before we bought it with a gauge that had more mileage than the original odometer. I had intended to have the current cluster rolled back roughly 70,000 miles to match the original set, but I never got around to it. So, I am listing it with the mileage that appears on the current odometer, but it should be closer to 270,000. I am a mechanic and tinkerer so I keep her going for our family. I would send my wife and girls back to NC today driving her with no concerns about safety or reliability. I have a long record of fuel mileage, and she gets an average in the 26-28 mpg range while hauling our family of 5 and our gear. I made a wooden rack to haul bikes and coolers on the roof that can be easily removed if you don't want it on there.
Here are the things I have replaced since we have been her caretakers:
What does she need:
She comes with a new set of tire chains and a good spare. Due to the weight, she runs great in the snow. I think I have a set of rear brake shoes and a steering linkage rebuild kit that I will be letting go with her too.
I can replace the alternator for an additional $150 above final sale price if you like. Again, we didn't replace it since it charges fine at highway speeds.
I have replaced the engine oil, transmission fluid, and gear oil in differential with AmsOil Synthetic products. The engine oil will be changed with fresh AmsOil 15W-40 during this auction listing. I occasionally blend filtered WVO in the factory tank with diesel fuel, but have not made any conversion modifications. This car is a good running daily driver that we will be sad to see go. I will wash her inside and out prior to you picking her up. I will be happy to answer any questions you might have, so don't hesitate to contact me.
We will continue to drive her until the end of the auction. She has a clear NC title that I have with me here in OR.
Her replacement has already been purchased, "Boober" is a 1987 Toyota Van Wagon that will fit on our trailer. You can see Boober in the video of Blondie.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Coupe
Thu, 31 Jan 2013
Mercedes-Benz upgraded its SLS flagship Coupe and Roadster for the 2013 model year, and the changes are marked with them new "GT" nomenclature. Both SLS models arrive with a retuned naturally aspired 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque (the horses are up from 563, but the torque remains the same) mated to a revised seven-speed AMG Speedshift dual-clutch gearbox. Rounding out the mechanical upgrades is a redeveloped AMG two-mode adaptive suspension. Physically, the revised models are differentiated by their new "GT" badging, darkened headlight/taillight buckets, red brake calipers, unique wheel colors and high gloss finish on the front grille, exterior mirrors and hood/fender fins. Inside the cabin are new red seatbelts, Alcantara upholstery and contrasting red stitching.
As it is nearly impossible to experience the aluminum gullwing beast on public roads, Mercedes invited out to Southern California's Willow Springs to wring out the 2013 SLS GT Coupe on a racing circuit.
Dartz promises own 6x6 G-Class with golden shishas and a dining room
Mon, 25 Mar 2013So you didn't really think Dartz Motorz was going to let the limited-production, 544-horsepower Mercedes 6x6 G63 AMG go without a challenge, did you? Picking up the gauntlet as only Dartz can, the Russian dream-makers have come up with the Sahara G-eopard, supposedly a special request from a buyer to make one of the 'standard' six-wheelers "more opulent and insane."
That means the vehicle from the factory gets extended by about a foot (30 centimeters), coach doors in the rear, a "yacht floor" and air conditioning that runs on its own power source, Asanti 24-inch Gold Bullion wheels and a water dispenser with Russian diamonds, which the owner will need to fill the golden shishas (hookahs) in the portable smoking room. That's right, you heard the man: a portable smoking room. Where the occupants will retire when they're finished in the portable dining room. Of course.
Yes, it will even have leopard spotting painted onto its nano-coating, and so much more. You can check out the press release below from the source. Try not to be jealous.
Mercedes calls CLA 'best launch in 20 years' as it warns dealers of tight supplies
Fri, 13 Dec 2013It's still in the early going, but it's looking more and more like the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA is a verifiable home run for the German brand. According to a new report from Bloomberg, the new small car isn't just widening the sales gap between Mercedes and BMW, it's attracting a new, younger breed of customers into the brand's showrooms. But that early success is straining supplies of the turbocharged four-door.
Dealers have been warned that the first half of 2014 will see limited supplies for CLA, with a letter to dealers indicating that "tight inventories and low days supply" will exist from February through June, despite the car's Kecskemét, Hungary plant running at full tilt.
"This is our best launch in 20 years," said Steve Cannon, the US boss for Mercedes. "The CLA has been a phenomenal success right out of the gate." The numbers certainly support that. We reported in early October that Mercedes moved 2,300 CLAs in its first week on sale, and now Bloomberg is saying CLA sales were almost singlehandedly responsible for Benz's November sales gains. Mercedes' annual sales are up 14 percent through the November, and it's enjoying a healthy 7,600-car lead over BMW.
