Very nice, very well optioned Mercedes G 230. You would never know this is a 1987. The interior is super clean. No tears or rips in the seats or dash. Blinkers, hazards, head lights, brake lights, bright lights all work as they should. Wipers and horn work as well. Alpine stereo with sub woofer mounted in rear of truck. Gauges all work as they should.

Body is in solid shape. Frame has no issues and is clean all the way around. Real deal off road tires with lift. Fuel injected motor that starts on the first turn every time and idles / runs beautifully. Shifts thru all five gears smoothly and efficiently.

Truck has both front AND rear air lockers as well as a 10,000 lb winch! Air lockers work perfectly and allow this truck to be an incredible off road machine if that is your thing. If not, she runs and drives wonderfully on the road. I also have a set of road tires as well that I will include in the sale.

Only known 'issues' are the window regulators will eventually be replaced. They both work but need a bit of 'help' rolling back up the first few inches before the regulator catches and does the rest. Also, the heater only works on high and rattles a bit. I haven't tended to either of these issues because, well, it doesn't affect driving the truck at all.

The winch and airlocker system parts alone is $3k+ . This is a really fun truck to drive and if you are into off roading, you want this. All the hard work is done and she is turn key, ready to go. Around town or on the trail, you'll have a fun time driving her and look good doing it too!

2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Now Even Sharper Than The Razor's Edge
There have been five Black Series models since the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Black Series introduced itself to European audiences in 2006. Following that, the Black Series club has hosted appearances by the 2008 CLK63 AMG Black Series, the 2009 SL65 AMG Black Series and last year's 2013 C63 AMG Black Series. The sixth member of the group is one we would have thought already was a Black Series car in its standard guise. Right out of the box, the SLS AMG is loud, frenetic, cozy, boisterous and frightfully easy to oversteer. How much more Black did it need to get?
Quite a bit so, apparently. The SLS AMG Black Series has lost weight, gained power and been refitted with upgrades and aero bits from front to rear. If you liked the way it looked before, you'll probably be an even bigger fan of this one. If you thought it looked ungainly, well, this one should stay even further away from pageants. Regardless of where you come down this is the best SLS AMG variant we've driven.

Daimler buying 12% stake in Beijing Auto

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Daimler and Beijing Automotive are officially going steady, with the German company set to take a 12-percent stake in the Chinese brand tomorrow. The two are already tied up in a Mercedes engine plant in Beijing, of which BAIC will increase its stake in, from 50 to 51 percent. Daimler will also get two seats on the Chinese company's board. BAIC may also gain the ability to produce cars on Mercedes-Benz platforms, according to Automotive News Europe.
The investment in BAIC comes ahead of that company's initial public offering, according to a report form Bloomberg, which indicates the deal will be inked tomorrow in the Chinese capital. According to the report, if the circumstances are right, BAIC may turn around and invest in the Germany company "soon."
It's not entirely clear just how much the 12-percent cut is costing Daimler, although it seems reasonable to assume that, as it's ahead of the IPO, the parent company of Mercedes is getting a bit of a bargain.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

Make way for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, the most wonderfully preposterous car I have ever driven.
There is absolutely no reason why any two-seat roadster should be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 developing 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, but I sure am glad that Mercedes-Benz doesn't see things that way.
Drop into the leather-lined cockpit of this $213,145 provocateur, floor the accelerator pedal as I did over and over again, and 60 miles per hour falls in a traction-limited 3.9 seconds. Top speed has been electronically held to 186 mph (this apparently saves Gulfstream jet owners from embarrassment). Forget the SL550 and SL63 AMG, the valets will trip over themselves attending to the tycoon driving this thoroughbred - it's the real deal.
