2000 Mercedes-benz Sl-class R129 on 2040-cars
Snohomish, Washington, United States
If you have any questions feel free to email: avisalleap@winetasters.net .
Are you getting tired of seeing your car and plenty of other of these "ultra rare and low number" production super
cars? Tired of seeing an Instagram post of a 458 instead of it as a poster in a garage? Tired of seeing these
unicorns of hyper cars everywhere you go? Well this car is the one. It's a low number, luxurious, fast for its
time; super car. The V12 in the front, RWD, sticky tires and the roar of the soul of Germany from within this car
is an instant classic collectors piece.
For sale is a pristine 2000 Mercedes-Benz SL600. This example is sitting at 22,000 miles. You may be wondering to
yourself why the vehicle is not priced following any KBB or NADA values. The reason behind this is the 2000 SL600
is the perfect example of a future classic. The over engineering of every little thing you cannot see behind the
meters of soft touch gray leather, the real stretched and pulled metal fenders on each corner, the use of hydraulic
fluid to move everything unlike hundreds of faulty of sensors in today's cars; that set ablaze your Lamborghini
Aventador in the middle of a traffic signal.
Now if you cannot understand this reasoning I would ask you to kindly move along. This is for the purists. The real
enthusiast who are getting tired of opening any of their social media outlets and seeing a vast array of Ferrari's,
Lamborghini's, Bugatti's, Pagani's, etc. Every car show or meet on a weekend it is filled with either 458's or
Huracan's; yes these cars are a testament of where our industry is going but there is no soul of these now mass
produced and non low number cars. They have become disposable and have the same resale value of any other brand:
under-appreciated. So do yourself and everybody else a good deed and buy my 2000 SL600. Not because you cannot
afford the other supercars but you'll truly be the only one at the next cars and coffee with something nobody else
will have.

Mercedes was set to sell version of Nissan Titan, now Infiniti might instead
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Mercedes-Benz Titan. Mercedes-Benz Frontier. Mercedes-Benz pickup truck. None of these things roll off the tongue particularly well. We'd like to think that's the reason Daimler opted to kill the idea of rebadged Titan and Frontier pickups from corporate ally Nissan. In reality, the execution before the Frankfurt Motor Show was due to more complicated issues.
Yes, Mercedes, byword for German luxury, style and quality, would have slapped a three-pointed star on a pair of Japanese pickup trucks that have failed to resonate with consumers in the world's largest truck market. That slapping of badges isn't much of an exaggeration, at least on the outside. According to the report from Road & Track, the truck's front clip would have been tweaked, but beyond that, the sheetmetal would have been unchanged. The interior would have received a more thorough going-over by the team at Mercedes, while the suspension and noise, vibration and harshness tuning would have also received significant attention.
The trucks would have ended up being sold through the light-commercial branch of Mercedes-Benz - the same folks that will happily sell you a Sprinter van - had the deal gone through. Issues arose, though, first with the engines. Mercedes wanted a wider range of powertrains to allow it to tune models for specific markets, while Nissan said it couldn't engineer the wide variety of engines that MB wanted to drop under the hood. For the smaller truck, meanwhile, MB was interested in a hybrid or plug-in variant, according to R&T, although this was also shot down by Nissan.
Mercedes-Benz releases stunning first images of 2014 S-Class
Mon, 18 Mar 2013
The all-new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, designated W222, is one of the most highly anticipated debuts of its model year. Every generation of the flagship sedan has broken new ground in technology and innovation for the entire industry, and the German automaker appears determined to raise the bar much further with its latest arrival as it promises to deliver "the best automobile in the world." Mercedes-Benz has just released nearly two dozen interior images of the new sedan, showing off style in design, craftsmanship in execution and pioneering advancements in technology.
Unlike all previous generations - the first S-Class officially arrived in 1972 - the 2014 model completely discards a traditional instrument cluster and replaces it with two high-resolution color displays in 8:3 format with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches (the outgoing model's gauges were a mix of digital and analog). The left unit displays traditional analog gauges (digitally, of course) while the right unit is reserved for infotainment and comfort settings with the automaker's all-new mBrace2 - a cloud-based entertainment and information delivery system that is rolling out this year.
2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec gets 33 mpg, priced from $38,950*
Tue, 30 Apr 2013It's been more than a year since we first saw the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec unveiled at the 2012 New York Auto Show, but it looks like the compact diesel crossover is finally starting to roll into dealerships. Those wanting to buy a diesel GLK will only have to pony up an extra $1,500 over a base, gas-powered GLK350, as the GLK250's starting price is listed at $38,590 (*not including $905 destination charge).
The turbocharged 2.1-liter four-cylinder diesel produces 200 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and Mercedes-Benz has also provided some fuel economy numbers for this model, with claimed EPA estimates of 24 miles per gallon city and 33 mpg highway. There is no listing for the GLK250 on the EPA's website yet, but the figures represent significant increase over the GLK350's lackluster 19 mpg city and 25 mpg highway figures, which are for the rear-wheel drive model. The GLK250 comes standard with the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system - a $2,000 option on GLK350 - meaning that if you want an all-wheel-drive version of the 2013 GLK, it's actually cheaper to opt for the diesel model. Head over to the Mercedes-Benz site for the full 2013 GLK-Class configurator.
