To drive this dream car is to experience the strength and stamina of the handbuilt 362 horsepower. 5.4 liter V-8. The normally aspirated V-8 has the power to move scenery at an astonishing pace. The reinforced five-speed automatic features AMG's Speedshift programming. Sport and comfort modes adapt shift points and firmness to differing driving styles, or press a button for manumatic mode, and the driver can control shifts via the lever or via buttons on the back of the steering wheel. In this mode it remains more manual than most Benzes, upshifting to prevent over-revving but never downshifting at wide-open throttle.
Underneath, AMG shocks, springs, and anti-roll bars lock down the body and quicken response rates without punishing the passengers. In a nod to ride plushness, the rubber is modest: 225/45 fronts and 245/45 rears on 17-inch rims. Big 13.6-inch-front and 11.8-inch-rear brake rotors are grasped by four-piston-front and two-piston-rear monoblock calipers.
That acceleration is accompanied by a glorious baritone engine note-you know, somewhere maybe a third of the way up the scale between a bass Chevy big-block and a soprano Ferrari. The chassis behaves beautifully, too, providing good isolation from small impacts while clinging tightly to the road over dips and humps.
I took this car on a 20 mile test drive to make sure everything works with no surprises to (you) the customer. One switch(no latches) allows you to drop the top and that is exactly what I did. The top goes up and down without a glitch. The top itself is in great condition with no tears, holes, or rips. The ride with the top down is much quieter than I expected and with the heat on full blast I was able to ride in 40 degree weather quite comfortably. It's not something I would recommend on a daily basis but it sure was fun.
The tires are in great shape with many miles remaining. The stereo is Harmon Kardon with a Disc Changer. The heater and AC work as they should with dual climate controls. Both driver and passenger seats have memory settings and the drivers seat has the additional lumbar support.
Options on this car include a 6-Disc Changer and GPS Navigation. I think those two options added $3,000.00 to the sticker price.
The BAD news! I don't really have any bad news but there are a few things I would like to mention.
1. The on-board diagnostic reads a warning that the left and right low beam lights are not working when they actually are working. (See Photo) Everything on the car works as it should. I am sure this could be reset by a dealer but take comfort in knowing everything works on the car. If you choose not to fix this issue, you just have to deal with the system telling you the lights are not working.
2. You will find very, very small rock chips on the front bumper and the beginning of hood. This is normal for used cars, especially 2005 models.
3. Carfax shows a minor accident but you cannot tell when looking or driving the car.
I have to say, I could have extended my ride another 100 miles because of how much I enjoyed driving this car. This is quite simply a fantastic automobile and I would be more than happy to be the owner. I have attached the Edmunds True Market Value Prices below.

Experience the New York Auto Show by drone
Fri, Apr 10 2015The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition
Wed, 26 Dec 2012Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
U.S. tariff threat hits European automakers' stocks
Thu, May 24 2018FRANKFURT, Germany — A U.S. warning that it may introduce tariffs on foreign auto imports hit shares in German carmakers BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen on Thursday, which together have a more than 90 percent share of North America's premium car market. Washington said on Wednesday it had launched an investigation into whether car and truck imports are a national security issue due to signs they had damaged the U.S. auto industry. That could lead to new U.S. tariffs — up to 25 percent — similar to those imposed on imported steel and aluminum in March. BMW and Daimler shares fell as much as 3.1 percent in early Thursday trading, while Volkswagen's dropped as much as 2.5 percent. "(U.S. President) Donald Trump is obviously not thinking about how to prevent a trade war. Import duties on cars would be a nightmare for the German auto industry and would lead to a massive sales impact," said Thomas Altmann at Frankfurt-based asset manager QC Partners. BMW on Thursday condemned the move to consider tariffs. "The BMW Group is committed to free trade worldwide. Barrier-free access to markets is therefore a key factor not only for our business model, but also for growth welfare and employment throughout the global economy," it said. Daimler, which makes Mercedes-Benz cars, and Volkswagen, which makes upmarket Audis and Porsches, were not immediately available for comment. German carmakers produced 804,000 cars at local factories in the United States and exported 657,000 German-made cars into North America last year, according to German auto industry association VDA. China took pains on Thursday to welcome German firms and investments, with Premier Li Keqiang talking up relations after a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. BMW and Mercedes have expanded production capacity in the United States, but BMW, Audi, Volkswagen and Daimler have also invested billions to build new factories in Mexico in the hope of selling locally produced cars into the United States. German carmakers hiked vehicle production in Mexico by 46 percent to 620,000 cars last year, while production levels inside the United States fell by 6 percent to 804,000 cars because of a shift to Mexico, according to the VDA. BMW has its biggest factory worldwide in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and is the largest vehicle exporter among all the carmakers in the United States measured by value of goods exported. More than 70 percent of BMW's U.S.-made cars are exported.
