Lmmaculate 2002 Mercedes E55 Amg Private Seller on 2040-cars

Year:2002 Mileage:102000 Color: and the chrome AMG rims
Location:

Reedville, Virginia, United States

Reedville, Virginia, United States

For sale by private owner 2002 Mercedes E55 AMG. I have owned this beautiful car for 6+ years now. For 4 of those years it was kept in a temp controlled military storage in NC while I worked and lived in SE Asia. Car has 102,000 miles. My "baby" is tectite grey metallic ... super rare, and even rarer has the chrome AMG rims and not the standard aluminum. Car was originally purchased in California, and I purchased from second owner in North Carolina. My E55 was appraised and is currently insured by American Collectors insurance at $23,500. Overall car is 9.5 out of a 10 total.

The W210 E55 AMG is amongst the best value-for-money AMGs, period.  In fact, few other cars offer the same blend of outright performance, quality build, practicality, and reliability that come as neatly wrapped as the W210 E55 package.  They’re fast and bullet-proof and don’t have the expensive and frequent repair issues of the W211s (2003-2006) E55s, especially the $1,000/ corner Airmatic DC shocks.
Since fewer than 500 E55's were imported to the USA in 2002 there is only a small number of well-documented examples left, and significantly less in tectite grey metallic. My E55 is truly a rare find with the tectite grey exterior and the chrome AMG rims. I also have the original window sticker listing original cost and all original options.

The paint is glossy wet and in excellent condition.
The interior is finished in dark grey nappa leather. The seats are soft and supple with perforations. There is slight wear on drivers seat left bolster, All other seating and interior have no tears, rips, stains, blemishes, or show any signs of neglect. The carpet inside is as fresh as it is when it was new. There aren't any stains, rips, spills, or holes in the carpets. I also purchased a custom fitted car cover (Coverking-$600) and custom front bra (Colgan-$450) for my "baby". Both will go with the car to new buyer.

The wood in the car is a Black Birds-Eye Maple. I like the color because it blends in well with the dark grey upholstery. Has original E55 AMG mats in nice condition, also have a spare set of aftermarket that will go with the car.

I regularly get 24mpg on the highway, which is awesome for a 350HP, 390 Torque, 5.4L V8 engine!

Tires on this car are brand new BF Goodrich Sport Comp II's, ZR rated. 2002 E55's run stock staggered front and rear...with the rear super wide at 275/35ZR18.

I have done my best to describe everything and I don't have anything to hide. If you have questions, I would be glad to answer them for you. My name is Scott and my cell number is 832-270-1138. If I don't answer, please leave me a message. I WILL call you back. As far as price goes, I believe it is priced correctly for the immaculate condition of my "baby". You can buy a cheaper one, for sure But you won't really do get what you pay for. What you'll find available are either black or silver, sold by dealers, and I guarantee not in the condition my "baby" has been kept in.

This car is not just an AMG that has been bought and sold by an independent dealer it has been owned privately by me for 6+ years! And meticulously maintained.
I have a free and clear title in hand.

I would be glad to help coordinate with your shipper. The car is being sold by me, and I am not a dealer or a third party. The car is being sold AS/IS-WHERE/IS, and no warranties are implied. If you need a shipper, I will be glad to help you.

The buyer of my "baby" WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!! This is an extremely fast, quiet and smooth German rocket ship. I am going to miss greatly and has been treated like a third child. I have decided to move back to Asia and retire in Thailand, unfortunately the Thai government will not allow me to bring the car with me and has been a very tough decision to sell my "baby". The new owner will be thrilled with my car...you absolutely will not be disappointed !! Check out my feedback rating, sold one other car in 2003, my 1972 big block 454 corvette, owner in Canada was thrilled when the car was delivered....you will be too!

Asking $18,500, please only serious buyers and no tire kickers. Reserve is set slightly less than the asking price.

Thank you for taking the time to review my auction.

Zetsche's CEO tenure extended through 2016 at Daimler

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

There appear to be two takes on Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche having his contract extended for three more years, to 2016. A report in The Detroit News quotes the chairman of Daimler's supervisory board, Manfred Bischoff, talking up the stability at the top, "With today's extensions of the contracts of Dieter Zetsche and Thomas Weber, we are maintaining the important continuity at the top executive level." Bischoff also stated that that Zetsche has a plan to "further enhance Daimler's overall performance."
Over at Reuters, though, the three-year extension was seen as a lack of complete confidence in Zetsche's plans, since his contract was supposedly meant to be extended by five years. A spokesman said the board decided to extend executive contracts by only three years if the person was 60 or would turn 60 during the contract, but that was news to observers. Zetsche wants to make Mercedes-Benz the top selling luxury manufacturer globally by 2020, but has fallen to third place behind Audi and BMW. It hasn't held the top spot 2005, and investors judged it valued at half that of BMW at the end of 2012 once Daimler's truck business was subtracted.
Analysts cites the fact that Daimler stock hasn't bested its rivals but twice in twelve years, and that the company revised its profit target downward last year by nearly one billion euros, warning of stagnant earnings this year and will miss its original margin target for 2013.

Race Recap: Singapore Grand Prix is about a safety car and submission

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

The Singapore Formula One Grand Prix is the Monaco GP of the Orient - a weekend known more for its glamour and time-slot than on-track action, with a temporary circuit that punishes every mistake, usually terminally.
Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas got the best of Free Practice 1, opening the curtain on a possible resurgence of Silver Arrows performance. By the time qualifying was done, though, it was his teammate Nico Rosberg who lined up second on the grid, followed by Romain Grosjean with a beautiful performance in the Lotus, Mark Webber in the Infiniti Red Bull, and Hamilton all the way back in fifth. Behind them were Felipe Massa outqualifying Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button getting the McLaren into eighth, Daniel Ricciardo with another good Q3 effort to get into ninth, and the shocker of Esteban Gutiérrez getting his Sauber into the top ten for the first time this year.
At the front of the pack was Sebastian Vettel. Again. But he was only ahead of Rosberg by a single tenth of a second...

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.
