Truly One of a Kind!

Amazing Condition

Stops people in their tracks

This car means business!

This 2008 CLS550 was owned by a young doctor's wife who rarely left the garage with it.   And when she did drive it, she drove like an old lady.    Now, it's ready for action.

She sold it when she divorced Dr. Husband and when it left her hands, the new owner quickly turned this into a man's car like no other.

The standard glossy black paint was upgraded to a an impressively original flat black (like a matted charcoal color), and it draws crowds and questions at every stop.  Whether at the gas pumps or at the evening outing, men and women alike always have to ask about it.

It looks like a boss rapper or an all-star pro athlete's ride, and it somehow fits in at the symphony valet lot and also the Harley rider's bar just the same.   

While the doctor's wife may never have realized this, the 382 horsepower aluminum V8 easily rockets to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds and it seems like no strain at all.  It's too easy to speed in this car because it handles so beautifully.

The high performance Parelli tires snug up to the 18" 7-spoke alloy wheels with precision, and the bright red brakes look like a subtle, yet mean accent.

This car spent most of its time in the garage when the doctor's wife owned it, and now its odometer reads around 46,600 but if you look at the trunk, the seats, and the carpet, you can see how this car looks like it just left the custom showroom.

Clean Carfax report available upon request.  Report was purchased by seller on May 14, 2013.

Heated and vented seats, an electronic trunk closer, tire pressure monitoring system, and an anti-theft alarm that disables the engine are all part of this impeccable package.

Now owned by an individual in Houston, Texas where it can be viewed or you can set up a test drive (contingent on background check).

Scammers don't bother.   Seller has a lengthy law enforcement background, and will locate and prosecute criminals.

As equipped, this car's sticker was $73,000 when it was bought but that was before the engine cowlings were upgraded for show and the paint was upgraded to what you see here.

Just look at how the Mercedes emblems are dark and the windows tinted to finish off this amazing detail.

Let me know any questions or whether you want any other pictures.

All catalogues and owners manuals are included in the factory leather zipper case.

Race recap: 2016 Australian F1 Grand Prix a rowdy start to season

Mon, Mar 21 2016

The three brief Formula 1 tests ahead of the current season belied how much had gone on since the last race in November: Infiniti subbed out for Tag Heuer, Renault is back, the all new Haas F1 team, a revamped Manor, three brand new drivers and two returning drivers, a raft of regulation changes among the newly tilled soil. The four engine manufacturers spent a combined 67 tokens among the 138 in the kitty, Renault using just seven of their 32. The only conclusive proof to come from the annual intermission was the otherworldly capability of Mercedes-AMG Petronas. The Silver Arrows didn't even try the super- and ultra-soft tires, focusing on reliability instead of speed. The result? They ran more than 19 race distances, obliterating the lap totals of every other team. There are certainly a few people who enjoyed the complicated new rolling-elimination qualifying format fast-tracked to approval just a few weeks ago. They were wildly outnumbered by those who thought it was awful, including the same team heads who voted for it. We'd probably have to go back to the debacle at the 2005 Indianapolis Grand Prix for an equivalent fiasco when Michelin pulled its teams over safety fears, leaving six cars out of 20 to qualify. In Australia, within 24 hours of the conclusion of qualifying, the new format had itself been eliminated. Nevertheless, qualifying also taught us what didn't happen over the winter: any other team progressing enough to outduel Mercedes. After admitting that he dropped off after winning the championship last year, then getting questioned in the press for some dubious off-season activities, Lewis Hamilton proved he can still turn it on when he wants to. The Brit smoked the Albert Park track in 1:23.837, more than three-tenths of a second ahead of teammate Nico Rosberg in second place. Ferrari did make strides during the off-season, but only enough to keep the same gap it had to Mercedes last year: Sebastian Vettel lined up third, a half-second behind Rosberg, teammate Kimi Raikkonen another four-tenths back in fourth place. Max Verstappen said Toro Rosso is the best of the rest, the Dutchman taking fifth place in front of Felipe Massa for Williams in sixth and Toro Rosso teammate Carlos Sainz in sixth. Daniel Ricciardo – who wasn't smiling after qualifying – kept Red Bull and its new "Tag Heuer" engines in the conversation with eighth on the grid.

Mercedes-Benz to build new ML coupe-crossover in Alabama in 2015

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

Mercedes-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

Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.
