This car was bought two years ago on eBay when it had 85K miles.  My commute is 45 highway miles [each way] - so I often put nearly 500 miles per week [at an average of 22 MPG].  This beautiful car [I call her Espresso - which is also her Designo color] has performed flawlessly.  And I've babied her.  [Non-Smoker].  One new set of tires [Bridgestone Potenza RE 760 Sports - rated W91] and one new set of brakes, [both within approximately 4k miles] while in my care.  All maintenance was done in a timely fashion based on Mercedes recommendations.  My commute has changed, so I am going Electric.

"Espresso" has the Designo package, which for the uninitiated is the heinously expensive "pick-your-own-bespoke-options" designation.  This car has Alcantara Suede option for the A pillars and sun visors.  It has extra wood trim.  The car has a very unique color called Espresso - which is a mix of black and brown with some metal flake in it.  The interior is tan leather and Alcantara [even has embossed headrests].  It is "Uma Thurman" gorgeous.  The car has almost every option that Mercedes could jam into it.  The car has a 302 HP V8 that scadaddles/roars when you give her the boot.  339 foot pounds of torque mean that there are few cars that will stay with her off the line - should you choose to exercise her in such a manor.  This car makes big, tall, ugly men [like me] feel comfortable and special.  Have you driven a CLK500?  I think they outperform a Audi A4/S4, or the BMW 3 series.  JMHO.

AMG sport package, heated seats, auto-on wipers and lights, 6 disc cd changer, Bose stereo, xenon high-intensity lights, et al.  

Most importantly, you are going to look sensational driving her.  And, because the car is such a stellar value - your also going to feel great about your purchase.  [Your buddies/neighbors aren't going to know it isn't a $80,000 luxury vehicle].

I am selling her as a used car with greater than 124,500 miles driven, [and the mileage will continue to grow each day] so she has a number of imperfections [many stone chips, small scratches, small cracks in the plastic on the back bumper]. I've tried my best to take informative pictures so you won't have any surprises.  The car is being sold "as is." You need to arrange all shipping/transportation.   Pls ask all questions prior to the end of the auction.  Pls don't bid unless you have the money/permission from your wife.

My wife and I are also selling her car [E500 with the panoramic roof] at no reserve.  [Pls feel free to check out our other auction and buy both if the mood strikes you].    Many thanks for your consideration.

Firing of M-B boss upheld

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

Ernst Lieb, the disgraced former CEO of American operations for Mercedes-Benz, will not be getting any more money from the Silver Arrow'd teat. His wrongful dismissal suit against MB's parent company, Daimler, was tossed out of a German appeals panel. This, followed the initial rejection by a lower court last year.
According to court documents acquired by Automotive News, Lieb was found to have "accepted payments of substantial value to which he - as he was aware - had no claim."
Lieb took over American operations from former CEO Paul Halata in September of 2006. Reports surfaced in October of 2011 that Lieb was dismissed from his posting at MB, with a variety of rumors swirling. Eventually, news broke that financial wrong doing was responsible for the German's firing.

Gullwing America turns SLS AMG Roadster into stunning 1955 300 SC redux

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

Gullwing America specializes in what it calls "retro styling meets modern technology." It's next demonstration of that is the convertible above, a stylized recreation of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SC (inset) supported by the structure of a 2012 SLS AMG Roadster. Commissioned by a client in Eastern Europe, the resulting car is called the 300 SLC.
The hand-formed aluminum bodywork required just a few changes to the SLS AMG Roadster, namely reworking the headlights into a stacked arrangement of LEDs and relocating the pop-up spoiler behind the cabin. The retro grille and long, straight hood evoke the past, the custom exhaust, height-adjustable suspension, 21-inch wheels up front and 22-inch wheels in back, however, stray a little further from history. The 300 SLC will come with a hardtop and be one-of-a-kind, making it even rarer than its inspiration, of which 92 were made.
If you have any more questions, they can probably be answered in the high-res photo gallery above and press release below.

Mercedes CLA45 AMG Racing is ready for a spot on the grid

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

Mercedes-Benz trotted out its CLA45 AMG-based racer at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. We first showed you the sedan in the deluge of news and reveals that precedes most good auto shows, and were blown away by the car, formally known as the CLA45 AMG Racing Series.
We were strolling by the Mercedes stand, and figured we'd pop in and take a look at the new racer and its carbon-fiber body panels, gutted interior, and race-sourced aero parts. It's a looker, both as a road car and a track weapon. It's not clear what series the CLA45 AMG will qualify for, although it does seem like a shoe-in for the World Touring Car Championship. Let us know what you think of the CLA racer down in the comments. In the meantime, we've got a full gallery of live images up top, along with the stock images that were posted last week on the Mercedes-Benz Facebook page.
