2011 Mercedes Benz Sl63 Amg High Performance Roadster Magno Alanite (matte) Grey on 2040-cars
Austin, Texas, United States
Want to go from 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds? Exterior and Interior - Matte grey exterior finish ('designo' Magno Alanite Grey), 'designo' Mystic Red leather seats, Charcoal/Black Exclusive leather dashboard with Black Alcantera headliner. This is a Mercedes Benz Buyback vehicle - a "lemon" car from California. Mercedes Benz remedied the vehicle and re-sold it. I bought it from a dealer in Dallas who purchased the vehicle. As shown on the dealer disclosure statement, the issue was an engine light that stayed on. Mercedes Benz replaced the engine harness, which resolved the problem. To my knowledge, there are no mechanical or cosmetic problems with the vehicle whatsoever.
Vehicle does NOT have an existing warranty. One other piece of information about this car which may or may not be relevant to a buyer... I contacted Mercedes Benz and had them send me a copy of the Maroney (MSRP) sticker for the vehicle (see photo). The sticker indicates that the vehicle has a factory-installed "Panorama Sunroof". In fact, the vehicle does NOT have a panorama sunroof. I contacted both the dealer and Mercedes Benz and neither were able to explain this discrepancy between the MSRP sticker and the vehicle itself. On a positive note, I had brand new original Mercedes Benz illuminated AMG door sills installed (again, by the local Mercedes Benz dealer). Please look at the photo of the Maroney sticker to see all of the Performance/Handling, Comfort/Convenience, Safety/Security and Optional Equipment features installed on the vehicle. It is LOADED, as you would expect for a vehicle that retailed for $158K just two and a half years ago. I'm selling the car because I'm buying a new vehicle. Please check my perfect eBay rating and bid with confidence. |

2014 Mercedes SL and SLK add small expansion to Takata airbag recall
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Mercedes-Benz is the latest automaker to be affected by Takata's massive airbag recall. The company has announced a voluntary recall campaign on a small number of model-year 2014 SLK- and SL-Class roadsters.
In Mercedes' case, 300 vehicles are affected, 200 of which are in the hands of customers. According to spokesperson Donna Boland, the affected roadsters were built between March and April of this year.
The issue, which is apparently the fault of one of Takata's subcontractors, rests with some improperly installed fasteners, which could keep the airbag from performing the way it's supposed to. According to Boland, Mercedes isn't sure what, if any, injuries the recalled airbags could cause, but simply claims there's an increased risk in these particular vehicles. There's been no reported instances of the faulty airbags deploying on a customer and the original issue was found in a production test.
Brabus to storm Geneva with 800-hp version of Mercedes SL65 AMG
Wed, 27 Feb 2013At no point during our recent drive of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG did we ever think, "You know, this thing sure is slow." After all, Merc's range-topping SL comes fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 capable of sending 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. But just in case you're still all "meh" about what the SL65 throws down, Brabus will gladly come to your rescue with this, the 800 Roadster.
As its name suggests, the 800 Roadster ups the V12's power figures to 800 horsepower and - wait for it - 1,047 pound-feet of torque. Don't get too excited, though - that torque number has been electronically limited to a measly 811 lb-ft since, you know, the transmission would probably explode if you tried to put the full force through it. Nevertheless, these represent increases of 79 hp and 73 lb-ft over the standard SL65, and that means the 800 Roadster can shoot to 62 miles per hour in just 3.7 seconds - two-tenths of a second quicker than the Merc its based on. More impressively, hitting 124 mph takes just under 10 seconds, and the droptop will finally top out at an electronically limited - limited! - 217 mph. Holy smokes.
To manage all of that speed, Brabus has engineered a special carbon fiber aero kit that reduces lift, and a unique control module for the SL65's active body control suspension lowers the ride height by one full inch. The 800 Roadster rides on new 20-inch wheels, and a unique limited-slip rear differential was added, featuring a 40 percent locking rate that further enhances performance when you're attempting to control the beast at its limits. Interior upgrades include new leather and alcantara surfaces throughout the cabin, including a leather-clad trunk.
2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 Sport
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Mercedes Makes A Mighty Little Sedan
We got overexcited when the W203 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan came out in 2001, calling it the "Baby Benz" when it really wasn't. We knew that, too, but our enthusiasm for a model more like the old 190 of the '80s was so strong that we were willing to stretch the first-gen C-Class to fit that mold. Today, the C-Class has done what all German premium cars do: grown in size. In this case, grown to satisfy the market intentions of the previous E-Class.
There was the tall A-Class sold from 1998 through 2010, but we never considered that a serious small Benz in the proper spirit, nor was it ever offered in the US. Regardless, we've been craving a smaller, premium, sexy sedan all the while.
