It is hard to imagine more car for the money. These C55s are wonderful cars to drive. A real autobahn burner, yet just as perfect for around town and picking up the groceries. This is a beautiful, clean and NON-SMOKER 2005 Mercedes C55 AMG that has been well maintained by a car enthusiast. It has CLEAN CARFAX (I will provide a copy on request). Everything works as it should. I have owned the car since 2007 (and 18K miles). This car has been serviced per the factory required schedule since new and all service is up to date. It just had a B service (8/1/13) including new cabin filters. It has a full service history (I have a binder full of receipts for all work done). I also keep a gas an maintenance log that lists the date and mileage of every tank of gas, service and repair since I bought the car in 2007. The car comes with all original books and owner's manual plus two keys. This is a fully optioned car with HID xenon headlights, NAV, CD changer, heater power front seats, power rear shade, and rear headrest release (MSRP when new was ~$60K). I had the windows tinted and added OEM black AMG floor mats when I bought the car and have recently had the wheels refinished in smoke gray with a machined lip (lifetime warranty on wheel refinish). I added an aftermarket (Belkin) bluetooth puck that adds wireless phone and music streaming. The car also comes with a brand new set of german OEM front brake rotors. I was told it needed them last time I had the brakes inspected (so I ordered some), but then I measured the rotors myself and they were still within spec. I suspect they will need to be replaced at the next brake job. The tires (Potenza S-04) were replaced at 65K miles and have plenty of tread left. Clear title, in hand.
- Passenger-side front air dam is cracked (see pic). This is from it getting caught on a parking curb. Can be fully repaired and painted for a few hundred $
- Small scuff on driver's-side rear bumber (see pic, might be able to be buffed-out)
- Some scratches on driver's window tint
- Stone chips from normal use

Maybach lost upwards of $500k on each vehicle sold
Wed, 08 Feb 2012Daimler is shuttering Maybach in 2013 after seven years of production. In that time, the company's ultra-ultra-luxury arm managed to sell just 3,000 units, and CAR reports Daimler lost somewhere around $500,000 on each and every one of them.
Even with a ludicrous price tag of over $370,000 for an "entry" Maybach 57, the brand couldn't quite recoup the dizzying $1.33 billion Daimler poured into it since its (re)inception. Rumors ignited over a possible tie up with Aston Martin that would have resulted in a range of new and attractive models, but Daimler has instead decided to snuff out Maybach altogether.
We can hardly blame them.
Mercedes-Benz to build new ML coupe-crossover in Alabama in 2015
Fri, 05 Sep 2014Mercedes-Benz will expand its factory in Tuscaloosa, AL, to build the ML Coupe, a new crossover that will join its lineup in 2015. Mercedes will also ramp up production to build facelifted versions of the M-Class and GL-Class SUVs, lifting the factory's total production capacity to about 300,000 units annually in 2015. It made 185,000 vehicles in 2013. In addition to SUVs, the Tuscaloosa site also makes the C-Class sedan.
The plans come as part of Mercedes' strategy to capitalize on Americans' increasing demands for SUVs. The company said the SUV market was up 12 percent in first half of 2014, and expects it to grow at twice the rate of the regular market in 2015 and 2016.
"We are seeing climbing demand for SUVs." - Dieter Zetsche
Rosberg survives the Mexican mess | 2016 Mexican Grand Prix recap
Mon, Oct 31 2016Roughly ten messy laps defined the Mexican Grand Prix – five laps at the start and five at the end. Those laps included a couple of actual wrecks and a few more near wrecks that turned the entire day into chaos. To have any chance of winning the 2016 Driver's Championship, Lewis Hamilton needed to get his Mercedes-AMG Petronas across the finish line ahead of teammate Nico Rosberg. Once again we got a weekend full of vintage Hamilton, the Brit dominating the from Friday to Sunday, except for the first corner of the first lap. Pole-sitter Hamilton reached Turn 1 clearly in front of the field. But he couldn't make the corner and stay on track, so he zipped into the runoff area and over the grass, rejoining at Turn 3 still ahead of the field. The stewards didn't penalize Hamilton, one commentator's explanation being that Hamilton "was not battling another car." The non-action left car #44 to enjoy a lights-to-flag win. At that very same corner, Rosberg also availed himself of the runoff area. His infraction seemed destined to incur a penalty until replays showed that Max Verstappen in the Red Bull slid wide and bumped Rosberg, causing the German to go off track. No penalties were handed out there, either. Verstappen would return to hound Rosberg later in the race when angling for second place. Verstappen took a stab through Turn 4 on Lap 50 of the 71-lap race, but ran off the track and lost touch with the Mercedes by Lap 55. Ferrari got half of its strategy right in Mexico, putting Sebastian Vettel hard on the charge in the final stint. The German got within DRS range of Verstappen on Lap 67, with Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo a little more than a second behind Vettel. On Lap 68, Verstappen pulled the same move as Hamilton at the beginning of the race: the Dutchman ran wide through Turn 1, zoomed over the grass and rejoined the track at Turn 3, staying ahead of Vettel the whole time. With three laps remaining, the stewards chose to investigate after the race. In spite of Verstappen's own team telling he probably needed to cede position to Vettel, Verstappen stayed in front and slowed just enough to put Vettel under threat from Ricciardo. On Lap 70 Ricciardo had closed up to Vettel's gearbox. Headed for Turn 4, Vettel swung outside to take the corner. When Ricciardo moved inside to pass, Vettel moved inside to block the Aussie while both cars were in the braking zone. The Ferrari made light contact with the Red Bull, but Vettel held his position through Turn 5.
