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.  


Disclosures & nit picks:
  • 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
Otherwise, this is an exceptionally clean car, that has been clay-bar'd and waxed regularly.  Interior is very clean with no abnormal wear, tears or rips of any kind.  Engine is clean and detailed.

Buick Wildcat and Electra concepts, Ford Maverick | Autoblog Podcast #732

Fri, Jun 3 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Road Test Editor Zac Palmer. They lead off with a discussion of the news. This section touches on the DeLorean Alpha5, Buick Wildcat EV Concept reveal, revival of the Buick Electra name, production reveal of the Mercedes-AMG One and some scuttle about Volkswagen's recently-bought Scout brand. After that, they move on to the cars they've been driving, including the Ford Maverick and Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. After the pair finish with what they've been driving, the podcast transitions to an interview between Greg Migliore and former Car and Driver Editor-in-Chief Eddie Alterman.

Mercedes Alabama ops ordered to allow workers to discuss unionization

Wed, Dec 3 2014

A decision last week by the National Labor Relations Board has bolstered the efforts of the United Auto Workers at Mercedes-Benz's Tuscaloosa, AL factory, as the union continues its attempts to represent the factory's workers. According to Reuters, the NLRB ruled that Mercedes-Benz US International, the proper name of the company behind the Tuscaloosa factory, can no longer prevent workers from discussing unionization in work areas while off the clock. While MBUSI maintains that it's not taking a side on unionization and that it wants the "the decision left to our team members," the UAW is still arguing that the US facility should take the same position on unions that the rest the world's Mercedes-Benz plants take and. Speaking to Reuters, the UAW says that stance "acknowledges the human right to form trade unions" and "respects the right of collective bargaining." According to Reuters, the Alabama factory employs 3,500 workers – 2,500 full time and 1,000 "temporary" – and is the only Daimler-owned factory on the planet not to offer employees the opportunity for representation. Presently, the Tuscaloosa facility assembles Mercedes' C-Class, GL-Class and M-Class vehicles.

Mercedes-Benz engines with 48-volt systems coming in 2017

Tue, Jun 14 2016

As part of a big green push announced yesterday, Mercedes-Benz is jumping into the world of 48-volt power. The company will launch a new family of efficient gasoline engines next year and will begin rolling out 48-volt systems with it, likely in its more expensive cars first. Mercedes will use the 48-volt systems to power mild-hybrid functions like energy recuperation (commonly called brake regeneration), engine stop-start, electric boost, and even moving a car from a stop on electric power alone. These features will be enabled through either an integrated starter-generator (Mercedes abbreviates it ISG) or a belt-driven generator (RSG). (RSG is from the German word for belt-driven generator, Riemenstartergeneratoren. That's your language lesson for the day.) Mercedes didn't offer many other details on the new family of engines. There are 48-volt systems already in production; Audi's three-compressor SQ7 engine uses an electric supercharger run by a 48-volt system, and there's a new SQ5 diesel on the horizon that will use a similar setup with the medium-voltage system. Electric superchargers require a lot of juice, which can be fed by either a supercapacitor or batteries in a 48-volt system. Why 48-volt Matters: Current hybrid and battery-electric vehicles make use of very high voltages in their batteries, motors, and the wiring that connects them, usually around 200 to 600 volts. The high voltage gives them enough power to move a big vehicle, but it also creates safety issues. The way to mitigate those safety issues is with added equipment, and that increases both cost and weight. You can see where this is going. By switching to a 48-volt system, the high-voltage issues go away and the electrical architecture benefits from four times the voltage of a normal vehicle system and uses the same current, providing four times the power. The electrical architecture will cost more than a 12-volt system but less than the complex and more dangerous systems in current electrified vehicles. The added cost makes sense now because automakers are running out of ways to wisely spend money for efficiency gains. Cars can retain a cheaper 12-volt battery for lower-power accessories and run the high-draw systems on the 48-volt circuit. The industry is moving toward 48-volt power, with the SAE working on a standard for the systems and Delphi claiming a 10-percent increase in fuel economy for cars that make the switch.
