Price is FIRM. No need to make offers. Cash only.

OK condition. This car runs and stops, turns left, turns right, backs up. That's pretty much it. And it's really safe. It won't stall or anything, runs strong and AC is cold. Still putting on miles! But only about 100 miles a week, short trips to the store, doctor, library and so on, it's my wife's car and she stays home with the baby.

The current set of Michelins have only 15K miles on them (have invoice). Those cost $600.

The tires, plus $1,900 of work I put into it right after I bought it 2.5 years ago (have invoice). I won't recover any of it that's why the price is firm.

I replaced the faded purpled tinting, the new tinting is nice. Did all the regular oil change.

Have most of my service records and some previous owner's.

Issues (read carefully!):

Front rotors need to go. I would have replaced them except I can't get one of the lug nuts off... the previous guy probably cross threaded the lug nut. If you don't know how to fix this then you shouldn't buy this car because it needs rotors, this is a serious safety issue, it's a big reason I'm getting rid of this car otherwise I'd keep it. Priced accordingly.

Engine idles a little rough at times, not earthquake rough, just a little rougher than a Mercedes should idle, most of the time it purrs... I don't know, maybe distributor or wiring or gasket? Like I said it doesn't stall, no, it runs very strong and gets good mileage. Burns oil though like all old cars do.

Previous owner repainted it, was it in an accident? Autocheck.com shows clean history. The title is clean and clear! Run your own Carfax and see. I had been very happy with the car... until I needed to do the rotors and couldn't unscrew the lug nut.

Some dents and dings on body, a few rust spots on front window frame

Peeling paint from bumpers

Driver's door release latch loose (see pics in link) but works so well I never even think about it.

Many miscellaneous like cracked plastic, broken leather on pillars around front seatbelt hangers, bumps, bruises...

NOT A SHOWROOM CAR! Not even close. It's perfect for your wife if you like her a little but not that much.

I got a newer Mercedes so I don't need this one. Good luck with it if you buy it.

Car is in 92649. If local buyer we'll arrange a public meeting ground for the show and test drive, if you even want to drive it after looking at it that is. If you're really going to buy it then we'll conduct the transaction at a AAA office.

If not local then buyer responsible for all transport arrangement and costs. I don't know a thing about shipping a car and am not going out of my way to do it.

Mercedes spotted testing new S-Class cabrio in the snow

Wed, Feb 25 2015

A fullsize luxury convertible is a rare species. There's the Bentley Continental GTC, maybe the Aston Martin DB9 or Vanquish Volante and the Maserati GranTurismo Convertible if you won't need those rear seats too often, but that's about it. The segment seems to be expanding, though, with the imminent arrival of the drop-head version of the Rolls-Royce Wraith and the new challenger you see here. Spied undergoing winter testing in Sweden, this prototype for the upcoming Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet is wearing barely any camouflage or body cladding whatsoever. In all likelihood that's largely because it's essentially the S-Class Coupe we already know, but with a folding fabric roof: Mercedes typically keeps the origami tin-tops to two-seaters like the SL and SLK. When the new S-Class cabrio is ready to launch – probably sometime between now and the summer – it'll join an expanding array of convertible Benzes that already includes the aforementioned SL and SLK and the E-Class Cabriolet, and will soon adopt the AMG GT roadster as well.

Mercedes-Benz GLK coupe to get 2016 intro

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Radio chatter around the emerging small, premium crossover coupe genre has thus far been dominated by the Land Rover Evoque and the Mini Paceman. According to a report in Car, the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class (shown above) has received its invitation to the party and will spend the next three years getting ready: it's said that two-door variant of the crisply-angled CUV is coming in 2016, along with a redesign befitting its sleeker intentions.
To be based on the MRA platform - the rear-drive version of the company's three new modular platforms, it will also support the coming 2013 S-Class and could eventually get an AMG version to help it compete with segment offerings like the forthcoming Porsche Macan. Not much else is known about it beyond its name: Car says it will be called the GLC, a friendly nomenclature we remember best as a Mazda hatchback (allegedly for "Good Little Car"). Internet oldtimers may remember the Mazda GLC as the predecessor to the 323 (which in turn came before today's Mazda3). Either way, the GLC is not to be confused with the larger upcoming BMW X6 rival based on the ML-Class (reportedly called GLS) which is also said to still be in the works, or the front-drive based GLA, a model also edging toward production.
