Please Wait For All Pictures To Load!

This fantastic SL550 was purchased in 2007 by a dear friend of mine with about three thousand miles on it (Mercedes-Benz factory rep car from new). Due to unforseen circumstances on her end, the car came in to me as a trade last month. I don't usually deal in late model sports and exotics, but my personal connection to the car from almost new and knowing the level of care that this car has always seen made it easy for me to help her out with a suitable replacement.

As you can tell from all of my photos, this car did not lack for care and attention throughout its life - it spent very few nights outside a very tight southeastern US garage and only then when it was out on a long road trip up and down the east coast. It was almost always dealer serviced apart from a couple sets of Michelins and a handful of oil changes. Most recently, it received new motor mounts and a full brake job at the Augusta, GA dealership - a complete file of service records detailing all work comes with the car.

The car wears all of its original paint save for a complete rear bumper respray when it was new and a complete front bumper repair and respray just weeks ago in one of my restoration shops - the bumper was removed, parking lot scrapes underneath (necessitating the repair) were correctly fixed and the bumper refitted.

You only see flash glare here and below, no damage, sorry for these glints of light.

All panel gaps are perfect as you would expect, the convertible top and electronic open/close trunk lid works perfectly as well.

You will note my PA dealer plate - yes, I reside in Richmond, VA but have an arrangement with a PA dealer friend of mine - as I do not need a dealer lot for the majority of my business I have a license with him instead. See all the way at the bottom for the complete explanation.

The inside of the trunk compartment is perfect, the protective shelf keeps excess load from impeding the closing of the trunk lid or convertible roof. The custom-made windshield sun shade is also included with the car.

You can see the flaps for the tonneau cover for when the top is open inside the deck lid.

As is becoming clear, this is not your average SL550!

There are no door dings or other imperfections in the bodywork, either. We just sent the car out for a full detailing inside and out and it cleans up like a one-year-old car.

Now, let's do a walk-around with the top down!

The real lines of this car emerge with its fully disappearing retractable hardtop.

The windscreen at the rear of the passenger compartment folds down manually but is a great help at speed if you believe a convertible should be driven top-down at all times (as long as weather permits)!

Close-up of the windscreen.

Putting the top back up for a moment, note the panoramic glass roof and the tinted back window, a great look.

From the inside with the sunshades pulled.

The beautiful view out if you just don't want the wind in your hair that day!

The original Bi-Xenon headlamps are chip, fade and fog free!

These have NOT been replaced!

All four original AMG 18" alloys are straight with nearly new Michelin Z rated rubber - I just perfected the balance on all four on a Hunter Road Force balancer. Note the new brake rotors and pads all the way around done last year along with a full system fluid flush.

The right front rim has a small scuff on it from a tire changer, but no curb rash.

Putting the top back down, let's take a serious look inside...

The car's desirable options include the extra wood trim, heated and cooled full power memory seats, BOSE audio with Mercedes-Benz COMAND Navigation and much more - a great set of creature comforts.

The seats are perfect on both sides, a testament to careful lady ownership!

In addition to heating and cooling, this switch on both seats allows for adjustable bolstering, lumbar support and massage!

The dashboard and center console are perfect with little to no fading to wood, leather and other materials.

Close-up here of the switchgear including the AMG Active Body Control Sport button, the ride height button, mirror controls, convertible top control, climate control and the Keyless Start button on the shifter - you can but do not have to put the key in the ignition slot - just leave it in your pocket.

Navigation and climate control on!

In the center armrest, the latest Mercedes Bluetooth "puck" compatible with all current Android and iPhones, this integrates with the COMAND system.

The steering wheel also has paddle shifters, controls for audio, phone and the display on the instruments.

Present mileage as of today, mileage may go up slightly during the listing at my discretion.

Close-up of the steering wheel, it's immaculate.

Just lovely in one side and out the other!

The original door jamb stickers are clearly all present!

This factory CD changer is in the cubby behind the driver's seat.

The owners manual (and the cover for the Bluetooth adapter in the armrest!) are behind the passenger's seat.

The entire original owners packet is with the car, complete with the original...

Window Sticker!

$109,185 new!

Both original keys just got new batteries.

This car also comes with this rare factory accessory fitted luggage bag that fits over the "hump" and uses the retracting straps in the rear panel. Really a neat piece!

Driver's door panel is just as nice as the passenger's side!

The overhead console has the Homelink garage door opener in the electrochromatic rear view mirror, dome lamps and the microphone for the Bluetooth phone.

Under the hood, the immaculate engine compartment with the gorgeous 5.5 litre V8 engine.

Both starting and main batteries were also replaced recently, genuine MB, of course.

Truly a well-serviced car!

Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG officially teased in mini video

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

The followup to the Mercedes-Benz S550, the S63 AMG, will sport a biturbocharged V8 that will likely turn out around 550 horsepower. The new engine is probably the 5.5-liter, biturbocharged V-8 that's been popping up in everything from the ML63 to the E63 AMG. The front fascia is more aggressive, which shouldn't come as a surprise, while a meaty exhaust setup can be found out back.
We managed to pick all that up from a short, 17-second video posted by MB. The original video that unveiled the S63 AMG has since been pulled down, making this YouTube clip the best look we now have at the new super sedan, at least until the Germans give up the goods for real.
Be sure to check out the video below, along with our original posting on the S63 AMG.

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.

Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG shows up to fight the hottest hatches [w/videos]

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Fun coincidence. On the same day that Audi announces the unveiling of its new S3 Sportback at the Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz steals the spotlight by confirming that the all-new A45 AMG will also receive its official debut early next month. Starting life as the entry-level A-Class hatchback, the A45 AMG gets the full AMG treatment, which includes numerous performance, handling and styling upgrades.
Under the hood sits an AMG-tuned 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 breathing through a sport exhaust system helping the five-door produce 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired to a seven-speed AMG dual-clutch transmission and power is sent to the ground using 4Matic all-wheel drive. Mercedes-Benz says that the A45 AMG will be able to accelerate from 0-60 miles per hour in under 4.5 seconds and it will have a top speed of 155 mph; in the land of hot hatches, it doesn't get much hotter than that. For added performance and handling, AMG has retuned the A-Class' suspension and steering systems and equipped The A45 with a three-stage stability control system that is specific to this car.
Surprisingly, the exterior styling of the A-Class was already sporty enough that the new model doesn't receive too many changes to become the A45 AMG. The biggest alterations include black accents to the chin spoiler, rocker panels and mirror caps, black wheels with red-painted brake calipers and rectangular dual exhaust outlets. Inside, it doesn't take a trained eye to spot the differences. The flat-bottomed sport steering wheel and the numerous red accents throughout the cabin (including the seatbelts!) really help to make this AMG interior stand out; front passengers will also get sport bucket seats that appear to be more than supportive enough for even the most spirited driving conditions.
