I retired from an airline not so long ago. My wife and I are downsizing and parting with a number of things that we have collected over the last 45 years. Along with the downsizing and selling some things on E-bay there have been a few other things we are changing...so here's my story and I'm stickin' to it... Our 40th Anniversary is coming up in a few weeks, so I asked my wife what she wanted to do... She said, "Let's buy a pop-top camper and go camping!" We had borrowed a pop-top camper from her parents and taken it on our honeymoon in 1973. I agreed but said that we would need to purchase a tow vehicle as well. We purchased the tow vehicle (this ML320) first and proceeded to look at pop-top campers. We found a pop-top we liked and bought it (you can see it in the background in some of the pictures). The three of us went on our first camping trip (we have a 30 yr. old son with Down Syndrome who goes everywhere with us). After all the thought, time and effort I spent trying to find the "perfect" (reliable, excellent condition, safe, trustworthy, etc.) tow vehicle, I did not realize the amount of gear and other "stuff" it takes for three adults to go camping. What was left over after the camper itself was packed had to go in the back of the Mercedes. We took it on our first trip and the opinion was unanimous... we need a Suburban or something with a lot bigger storage area. That's why I am selling it... now for details on the Mercedes. This is a 2001 Mercedes ML320 Sport Model (different trim and more options). The most important option is side airbags for the rear passengers. ....driver's side and passenger side front are standard Navigation (with the cd-rom set) Bose sound system with weather band Single cd and cassette in dash and 6 disc cd player in rear Entertainment system and drop down screen for rear passengers ....entertainment system is VHS not DVD...I don't know if it works...I don't have any VHS tapes it would seem that the VHS player could be swapped out with a CD player (I have not investigated that possibility as I need a bigger vehicle) Heated leather seats Moonroof Automatic 5 speed transmission with manual (no clutch ) shifting ability All wheel drive Factory tint windows Mercedes side steps (running boards/ whatever they are called...see pictures) Lockable strong box mounted under passenger front seat (with keys) Sport wheels AMG exhaust New Dunlop tires New rear brakes for first trip (front were good) Battery new less than two years ago (receipt was in glove box) new oil (Mobil 1) and filter before trip I had a brand new Draw Tite hitch (made for this model Mercedes) and electric brake assist installed by a local company that specialized in hitch installation. 2 inch drop Draw bar with 2 inch ball. Hitch capacity is 5000 lbs. and that matches the Mercedes towing capacity specifications. (that hitch package and labor cost me $900 three weeks ago....I have the receipts) This Mercedes runs and drives great. It is safe and more quiet on the highway than I imagined. I would certainly keep it if it was big enough for our needs. You may have noticed that it has a salvage/rebuilt title... I bought it from the manager of a customer service department for a national insurance company. He said that a number of years ago the rear bumper cover was scraped on the left in a parking lot by another car. The cover was replaced and did not affect anything more or the title. More recently he was bumped in the front on the drivers side. The bumper cover, fog light, and fender on the driver's side was replaced with genuine Mercedes parts. I have a photograph of the damage, prior to repair, taken by the previous owner. He is employed by the same insurance company that insures his car and was required to send his title to NC state Department of Motor Vehicles where it was branded salvage/rebuilt. When he had to purchase the driver's side headlight assembly he decided to replace both sides with the new LED running lights and halos around the headlight projectors. ( I have the original assembly for the passenger's side) As of July 19, 2013 Kelly Blue Book values it with the options and low mileage at $9788 and that's without the hitch and electric brake control unit. I have it listed at $8500 or best offer. I am not interested in any trades unless you have an Escalade ESV or a loaded Suburban. Come see it...you will be impressed as I obviously was. (That picture with my reflection is of the door, not the glass...) |

Mercedes-Benz S-Class presentation leaked, debuting in May
Fri, 22 Feb 2013WorldCarFans was reportedly sent what looks like a dealer presentation on the coming V222 series 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class. There have been hints for years as to the kinds of technology the world's best-selling large luxury sedan will contain, and it appears those hints had some foundation. To be shown in Germany on May 15 before a launch window that runs from September to November this year, the evolutionary design will be built of aluminum and steel, using that lighter material for the front end, roof and "detached body parts."
Among the new options buyers will be able to choose are the Rear Seat Package with rear seatbelt airbags and active buckles that extend, a Warmth and Comfort Package with heated seats front and back, heated armrests and side panels, and power rear seats with active ventilation and memory function. There's a chauffeur seating option that comes with 10-way adjustable rear seats, an extendable footrest and folding tables in the front seatbacks.
Blatant technology will be on display via two 12.3-inch screens, one for the dash cluster and one for the COMAND infotainment screen on the instrument panel. The third generation of Nightview Assist Plus will be able to detect animals as well as humans, and the next generation of Surround View will provide high-res views all around the car. A touchpad and a color head-up display will arrive in 2015. It will be the first Mercedes-Benz to utilize LED lighting everywhere, inside and outside the car.
Aston or Bust? Maybach's fate to be decided next month
Mon, 13 Jun 20112011 Maybach 62 - Click above for high-res image gallery
What will become of Maybach? That question has been rattling around the halls of Daimler headquarters in Stuttgart for some time now. But all questions will be answered, and answered soon: according to reports, the German automaker is currently evaluating prototypes and propositions for its top-end marque, and will make its decision next month.
So, what are the options? On the one hand, Daimler could kill the Maybach brand altogether. It was a notion ill conceived and even more poorly executed, taking an old platform and building a new flagship atop it. In that way, it was sort of like the Chrysler Crossfire, only far more costly to both the buyer and manufacturer. On the other hand, Daimler could opt for the long-time-coming proposition of contracting the production (and possibly much of the development) of a new generation of Maybachs to Aston Martin.
2015 Mercedes C-Class order guide leaked
Wed, 23 Apr 2014We may not have an official starting price for the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but as of right now, we can tell you about all the options for the eagerly anticipated new luxury sedan.
Benz Report has the entire order guide for the C-Class, with breakdowns from package pricing to how many different colors, wheel designs and lighting configurations will be available when the new model hits dealers later this year. As we mentioned in our initial review of the C-Class, there will be a pair of engine options, with the now familiar 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder available in both rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations and a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6, which can be had in all-wheel drive, only.
From there, though, the available options are impressive. Much like it does on the current car, Mercedes is offering a pair of packages that sort of define the entire car. With the C300, buyers will have the choice of either a Sport or Luxury package in addition to the base trim, while C400 buyers are limited to the Sport model.
