Always wanted a V12 and so got this S600 last August. Flew to Seattle and drove it home to California. It ran all the way without fail, but a pain without functioning cruise control. Lots the previous owner did not divulge.
Have fixed a number of problems associated with "romantic garage art" collectible cars. Repaired or replaced with MB parts: Engine Oil and Filter; Catalysts (not MB cats, but easily passed CA smog check); Thermostat and coolant; Intake manifold gaskets, plugs and wires; Rear suspension accumulators; AC Compressor, refrigerant and condenser; Four-element pneumatic seat bladders, for both front seats; Tires and Wheels (cruise control now works); Drivers side door handle/remote sensor plus new Remote Keyless Entry fob and key; Various lamps; Inside photochromic memory mirror; Dent in diver's side front fender; Wood and leather wheel; Removed unsafe window tinting and unusable cell phone to reclaim some storage space; No warning lights or leaks now. It all works. The engine starts quickly, is electric motor smooth and pulls like a freight train. Trans rebuilt by previous owner. 2-yr old battery.
Used for both work-commute and to drive on regular 5 hour trips. Handles all trips with ease, grace and comfort; and, no problems. Amazingly silent, even at over 100 MPH. When the road gets twisty engaging the shock "performance" setting tightens the handling enough to make the corners easier without unsettling the wonderful ride.
Time to let it go to a good home. Purchase also includes old wheels (they function very well but need cosmetic help), the old parts removed from the unit, rebuilt power steering pump that seemed to need replacing but didn't (next to failing AC compressor), service/troubleshooting software, owners manual, emergency tool kit in unused condition, first aid kit. Don't have the Valet key. Had MB tech check engine bay wiring and it does not appear to suffer from the infamous insulation failure problem - no weird electrical behaviors.
This is a very rare car comparable to Rolls, Bentley, or big Masers. Check out the history on line. Amazing value when compared to 20 year old MSRP of $140k.

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.
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.
Mercedes Concept GLA45 AMG is ready to run
Wed, 20 Nov 2013This is the Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA45 AMG, and what we mean by that is, "This is the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG." Mercedes has just unveiled the liveried 'concept' at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, giving potential customers a very good look at the newest lunatic in the AMG asylum - a 355-horsepower, 332-pound-foot crossover that uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in the CLA45 AMG and Europe's A45 AMG.
Joined with a seven-speed, AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission and an AMG Performance 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, Mercedes promises a sub-five-second run to 60 miles per hour. That's not just quick for a crossover, that's quick full stop.
That sleek, lifted body has also been tweaked by the minds at AMG's Affalterbach facility. A new rear spoiler, side sills and front clip are the primary aerodynamic tweaks. Aesthetically, AMG has fitted the requisite "Turbo" badges, gloss-black accents (including exhaust tips and roof rails) and a set of 21-inch, AMG-spec alloy wheels to round out the overall package. Based on the spy shots we've seen, expect slightly toned down aerodynamics when the GLA45 AMG arrives in showrooms.
