NO RESERVE !!!!
3rd daughter coming in 2 months and a move from AZ to Atlanta are forcing the sale of C43. 1 year ago I had the  engine and transmission replaced with a transmission & engine out of a 1999 e55 AMG, the mileage was almost identical, so engine and transmission are with in 1.5k miles. This has increased HP by over 60 and given it a much better transmission.  This has been my daily driver for 3 years.  I am the third owner, and the first to make the car a daily driver, although my office is only 3 miles from home keeping the miles low. This car provides a great blend of performance, comfort and class without being flashy.  I am sad to see it go, it runs like a top! 
In the spirit of full disclosure here are all the items on the car that I know need a little attention:
The seats in the front were not treated by previous owner and the leather has cracked, the rear seats are still in good condition, once the garage door was shut when the car was not all the way in putting a scratch in the rear bumper (see photo), the front bumper is very low to the ground and the lower grid broke when pulled to close to a parking curb (also see photo), the relay for the wipers occasionally gets stuck and they stay on, requiring me to turn off the car and then they stay off.  Finally the electric seats have a short in the control box and work intermittently, (mostly annoying to my wife but keeps her from driving it:) These are all easy fixes but with a baby and a move I have not been able to take care of them. 
The car does have an i-pod and aux. jack for i pods and phones, the controls on the factory in dash unit will control most i pods and i phones, it is an aftermarket plug in that takes the place of the cd changer, which is still in the trunk if you wanted to connect it.
I also have a second set of rims and almost brand new tires for the rear that are a little larger, off the e55 that make the car look really mean but they rub just a little when the car goes over a large bump. This could be cured with a little creativity and I will include them in the sale of you want them. The car has never been in an accident, the previous owner bought it from his boss, who was the original owner.  It lived in California originally and then moved to AZ.  It has never seen any rust. The car has been treated well, and is straight. 
I also purchased an AMG supercharger when I bought the motor that I was planning on installing but the car was so fast with the new motor and lighter weight body that I never got around to installing it.  I will sell it for $400 if a buyer is ambitious to make a car with over 550 HP!

Mercedes releases first shot of AMG GT3

Fri, Feb 20 2015

A week ago we got a rendering of the upcoming race-only Mercedes-AMG GT3, to be shown to the public for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show. Now, Mercedes has let loose a photo of the front of the car and it looks very serious, a trait undoubtedly helped by its link to the past: that grille motif goes straight back to the W154 Silver Arrows pre-war racer driven to the 1938 European Championship by Rudolf Caracciola. Those angry, angled and sunken headlights don't hurt, either. It will be ready in time for the 2016 GT3 season and come loaded with expectations, since the SLS AMG GT3 it replaces has been a victory machine around the world. Unlike that SLS, though, this car will spawn a hardcore road-going version - not to be called GT3 - with less weight and more power, armed to do battle with the coupe that comes first to mind when that alphanumeric is mentioned. With the way the AMG GT S already gobbles up circuits, we're prepared to be impressed by what comes next.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

Make way for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, the most wonderfully preposterous car I have ever driven.
There is absolutely no reason why any two-seat roadster should be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 developing 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, but I sure am glad that Mercedes-Benz doesn't see things that way.
Drop into the leather-lined cockpit of this $213,145 provocateur, floor the accelerator pedal as I did over and over again, and 60 miles per hour falls in a traction-limited 3.9 seconds. Top speed has been electronically held to 186 mph (this apparently saves Gulfstream jet owners from embarrassment). Forget the SL550 and SL63 AMG, the valets will trip over themselves attending to the tycoon driving this thoroughbred - it's the real deal.

Mercedes widens luxury sales gap on strong early CLA demand

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Mercedes-Benz CLA sales have been booming, with the Stuttgart-based manufacturer moving 2,300 of the sleek four-doors in its first week on sale. That is astonishing. Mercedes moved nearly twice as many CLAs (which start at $29,900) in one week than Jaguar, a brand that is on a very solid roll, sold in all of September. Ignoring the price differences between the Jag line and the CLA, that is still wildly impressive.
Mercedes has been pushing the CLA in television ads, using a shortened version of its Super Bowl spot, which starred William Dafoe, Usher and Kate Upton. "As the bargain entrance into the Mercedes portfolio, we weren't sure how luxury buyers would react," Kelly Blue Book auto analyst Alec Gutierrez told Bloomberg.
The CLA push was just part of MB's 6.7-percent increase in September sales, which were also helped along by a 17-percent jump in E-Class sales. That surge has allowed Mercedes to widen its 2013 sales lead over its rival, BMW, to 2,491 cars, according to Bloomberg. If CLA sales continue at this rate, we can only expect that margin to grow.
