2004 Mercedes Benz C230 Kompressor Sport (Sedan) – Mint, 1 owner, no accidents, Florida car
Private Seller
One owner
Always Garaged
Drives excellent
Up for sale is our exceptionally nice 2004 Mercedes Benz C230. This is a one owner car that has spent its entire life in Florida and has always been garaged. No accidents. No one has ever smoked in it and no pets have ever been inside. That said, it is still a used car, so be realistic and expect to find a few details here and there if you look carefully – However I think one would be hard pressed to find a car with this age in better condition.
This car was used for commuting until 2009 when it was replaced by a new car. It became our spare car being driven occasionally. We would like to see it go to someone who will enjoy it as much as we did. I am very meticulous about my cars’ maintenance and don’t cut any corners and have only used original Mercedes parts on almost all the repairs. Before the original warranty expired, I purchased an extended warranty to ensure the car was serviced with original parts. I have been doing the oil changes myself every 5,000 miles with Mobil 1. Everything on the car, mechanical and electrical, works as it should.
For those who are not familiar with the C230, Mercedes made several engineering improvements including a lower ride height, upgraded brakes and a short-throw shifter. The car was made in Germany (not in Brazil like other C230’s). The main upgrades are: full ash leather, sunroof, premium sound, power driver’s seat and my favorite: factory 17” wheels that still look spectacular. I replaced halogen for Xenon light which make a huge difference. I also just replaced the A/C compressor (comes with a 12 month warranty) to ensure full and cold air.
In interest of full disclosure here are the things that are not great:
The plastic console on the front is slightly cracked due to the sun. If you look for it you can find the cracks, but it is not noticeable otherwise. You can find a replacement for $20 online. The automatic locks sometimes need to be pressed twice to lock from the remote. This was common in the C230 line and certainly nothing to be concerned about. The driver's seat shows some normal wear. The passenger seat has little wear and the backseat has minimal wear. Vehicle includes owner’s manual & (4) key/remote key (2 new edition + 2 original).
I have made an effort to represent the car in the most honest and comprehensive way and as you can see, I would have no hesitations in using this car as a daily driver again and you will have peace of mind knowing that the previous owner took care of the car quite well. If you are looking for an elegant and distinct car that has been very well taken care of and has the safety and performance of a Mercedes Benz, then this may be the car for you.
The car is located in Hollywood, FL – I can arrange for in person inspections, send me a text to 786-309-seven.seven.two.seven. Will also be happy to answer any questions you may have.

2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]
Fri, 15 Nov 2013The biggest misconception about the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series is that it's simply a higher-performing version of the SLS GT - a closer look, or better yet, a few hot laps on a high-speed racing circuit, reveals that is anything but the case.
Launched in the States in mid-2011, the standard SLS GT is a 583-horsepower, all-aluminum, gull-wing coupe with performance that positions it near the top of the exotic segment. While the AMG team at Mercedes-Benz could have left it alone, their experience with the SLS AMG GT3 race car said there was room for improvement, so they devised the SLS Black Series. The transformation from SLS GT to SLS Black Series is extensive, with no fewer than 17 different significant enhancements.
The engine mapping, crankshaft, connecting rods, valve-train, intake, exhaust and cooling are all modified and the engine's redline bumps up from 7,200 to 8,000 rpm, which pushes output of the hand-built 6.3-liter V8 to 622 horsepower. The power steering receives a new ratio, a coil-over AMG Adaptive Performance suspension is installed along with underbody braces, the track is widened, two-piece carbon-ceramic brakes replace iron rotors at each corner and a lightweight titanium exhaust is fitted beneath. The AMG Speedshift seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox is modified and an electronically controlled AMG rear differential lock ensures the power goes to the pavement. Last on the mechanical upgrades are new lightweight forged wheels (10x19 inches front and 12x20 inches rear) wrapped in special R-compound Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires.
Mercedes says it's tops in luxury sales for 2012, not BMW
Tue, 19 Feb 2013It turns out that Mercedes-Benz North America has legitimate claim to being the top selling luxury nameplate in the US in 2012.
While sources such as Autodata had put BMW in the top spot, registration data from R.L. Polk shows that Mercedes customers registering new vehicles topped the Bavarian automaker in the most recent calendar year. Polk says Benz posted 274,123 registrations, compared with BMW's 268,498.
In terms of sales posted, BMW had bested Benz 281,460 to 274,134. But sales are recorded somewhat inconsistently from automaker to automaker. Some book the sales as soon as they are shipped from factory to dealer. There is perennial gamesmanship between the two German rivals, and the sales numbers suggest that BMW pushed out some extra sheetmetal to dealers in the last four weeks of the year.
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.
