Wonderful, fun, exciting, and sporty car to own, drive and admire. This is our second SLK 230 which has been driven daily is sunny south Florida and South Carolina by a very cute little old lady (my wife). We have just replaced it with our third, the last edition (2004) of this wonderful Mercedes roadster. The car has been taken care of - and driven! Never in an accident nor smoked in, you can expect the usual wear for a car of this age, but you will not find a nicer daily driver or more fun in second car. The mileage is mostly highway, if you divide the 141,000, miles by 15 (years old) it works out to only 9,600 a year. If you consider the 15 years as old or the mileage high, then you don't know Mercedes automobiles, after all the odometer goes to 999,999. Take a good look at the photos taken today, yes some stone chips, some outside wear, some inside wear, but everywhere you look you will find thousands of smiles, a ton of laughter and months and months of sunny days that this car has provided us and will do so for you as well. With the top up or top down on the highway or in the town everyone who will look at you in this car - wishes that it was them! So do you think that I really like Mercedes Benz SLK 230's, well you certainly are right. I am the third owner and have enjoyed what care the first and second owners took and you will enjoy how I have taken care of it as well. Mobil One oil changes and regular authorized Mercedes service. I even have the two remote keys, one flat key and the valet key, the book, even first aid kit and air pump are still in the trunk. The car shines with little effort and sails down the road with even less. I don't want a whole lot of money for it, I just want it to go to a good home that will enjoy the fun that it will provide. Whether your are young or my age this little cutie will say a lot about you and every bit of it will be nice, if your new to Mercedes or more like me the answer is the same, what are you waiting for? If your not going to have a fun driving experience now, then when? You know your dead a very long time! I bet the first bidder wins it and they will be the happiest buyer on ebay that day! Cheers.

Mercedes releases 6x6 G63 AMG specs and pics [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Mercedes-Benz has finally dropped full details on its insane G63 AMG 6x6. The machine puts 544 horsepower to all six wheels thanks to a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8. A seven-speed gearbox shuttles power to the ground via three sets of portal axles, which helps give this machine a full 15.75 inches of ground clearance. By comparison, the standard G63 AMG sits with just 8.27 inches of ground clearance. The extra lift allows this 6x6 to ford nearly 40 inches of water and run massive 37-inch tires. All told, there are five differential locks on this thing, all controlled by a special "locking logic" that provides the best traction possible for any given situation.
The controls offer up three stages of locking, which we can only assume range from JKLOL to OMGWTF. Right now, AMG says this monstrosity is only a show vehicle, but we imagine it wouldn't take much to convince the team to whip up one of your very own. Check out our full gallery and the press release below for all the nitty gritty. While you're down there, you can also check out the video on the machine one more time.
2017 Aston Marin Lagonda could live on Mercedes M-Class platform
Tue, 29 Oct 2013A few weeks ago, we brought you news from the launch of the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante that the British brand, which is formally known as Aston Martin Lagonda, was still planning on going ahead with a Lagonda-badged crossover. Now comes word that that vehicle could very well be based on a Mercedes-Benz M-Class.
When the first Lagonda Concept debuted at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, it sat on a Mercedes-Benz GL-Class platform, some four years before Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG deal was inked. And with that partnership, which will see Aston Martin gain access to AMG electrics and "bespoke, V8 powertrains," the opportunities for platform sharing are many.
Dr. Ulrich Bez, the boss of Aston Martin, told the UK's AutoCar, "I look at what Porsche is doing with the 911 as its core business and then it is able to do models like the Cayenne based on the Volkswagen Touareg. It is good business." We've said many times that we'll tolerate exotic CUVs and SUVs if it means keeping the beloved core models alive, which has been the case with Porsche. We see no reason Aston Martin wouldn't be able to do the same.
Why all of this year's F1 noses are so ugly [w/video]
Fri, 31 Jan 2014If you're a serious fan of Formula One, you already know all about The Great Nosecone Conundrum of 2014. Those given to parsing each year's F1 regulations predicted the strong possibility of the so-called "anteater" noses as far back as early December 2013. Highly suggestive visual evidence first came after Caterham's crash test in early January, with further proof coming as soon as Williams showed a rendering of the FW36 challenger for this year's championship. That car earned a name that wasn't nearly so kind as "anteater."
Casual followers of the sport - or anyone who gets the feed from this site - probably don't know what's happening, except to wonder why the current year's F1 cars are led by appendages that would make Cyrano de Bergerac feel a whole lot better about himself.
The short answer to the question of ugsome F1 noses is "FIA regulations and safety." The reason there are various kinds of ugsome noses is simpler: engineers. The same boffins who have given us advances including carbon fiber monocoques, six-wheeled cars, double diffusers and Drag Reduction Systems are bred to do everything in their power to exploit every possible freedom in the regulations to make the cars they're building go faster - the caveat being that those advances have to work within the overall philosophy of the whole car.
