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.

2013 Airstream Interstate 3500 EXT
Mon, 19 Aug 2013LA To The Grand Canyon In The Mercedes-Benz Of RVs
Piloting an 8,500-pound motorized house down the highway is far from my idea of fun, yet inexplicably, I'm enjoying myself. My grin has nothing to do with my camper's handling, as this heavily accoutered Mercedes-Benz Sprinter drives like a 25-foot long breadbox. My smile has nothing to do with on-road stability, as the ten-foot-tall, slab-sided vehicle reacts to wind gusts like the vertical stabilizer on a Boeing jet. My delight has nothing to do with its throttle or braking response, either, as both are as numb as your forehead after the eighth beer.
This monstrosity makes me happy for one reason - my passengers are undeniably having a good time.
Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG shows up to fight the hottest hatches [w/videos]
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Fun coincidence. On the same day that Audi announces the unveiling of its new S3 Sportback at the Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz steals the spotlight by confirming that the all-new A45 AMG will also receive its official debut early next month. Starting life as the entry-level A-Class hatchback, the A45 AMG gets the full AMG treatment, which includes numerous performance, handling and styling upgrades.
Under the hood sits an AMG-tuned 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 breathing through a sport exhaust system helping the five-door produce 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired to a seven-speed AMG dual-clutch transmission and power is sent to the ground using 4Matic all-wheel drive. Mercedes-Benz says that the A45 AMG will be able to accelerate from 0-60 miles per hour in under 4.5 seconds and it will have a top speed of 155 mph; in the land of hot hatches, it doesn't get much hotter than that. For added performance and handling, AMG has retuned the A-Class' suspension and steering systems and equipped The A45 with a three-stage stability control system that is specific to this car.
Surprisingly, the exterior styling of the A-Class was already sporty enough that the new model doesn't receive too many changes to become the A45 AMG. The biggest alterations include black accents to the chin spoiler, rocker panels and mirror caps, black wheels with red-painted brake calipers and rectangular dual exhaust outlets. Inside, it doesn't take a trained eye to spot the differences. The flat-bottomed sport steering wheel and the numerous red accents throughout the cabin (including the seatbelts!) really help to make this AMG interior stand out; front passengers will also get sport bucket seats that appear to be more than supportive enough for even the most spirited driving conditions.
Daimler names Bernd Pischetsrieder to supervisory board
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Some executives in the automotive industry stay with one company for their entire careers, while others bounce from one to the other, often leaving their indelible mark on each automaker at which they serve. Bob Lutz is certainly an example of the latter. So is Lee Iacocca, having presided over Ford and later charing the Chrysler board. Carlos Tavares was chief operating officer of Renault before being nominated as chief executive at PSA Peugeot Citroën. But as far as the Germans go, nobody's jumped from the leadership of one automaker to the next quite like Bernd Pischetsrieder - especially now that he's been named to the supervisory board of Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler.
An engineer by training, Pischetsrieder started his career at BMW in 1973, eventually rising to the office of CEO after twenty years. There he remained until 1999, only to be dismissed after orchestrating BMW's takeover of the Rover Group (of which only the Mini brand remains in the company's portfolio, the other brands having been sold off after his dismissal).
The next year he was named chairman of Volkswagen's Seat brand, and rose to the chairmanship of the entire Volkswagen Group two years later. Despite a largely successful four-year tenure (that gave birth, incidentally, to the Bugatti Veyron), disagreements with supervisory board chairman Ferdinand Piëch saw him leave the helm at VW AG, focusing his attention on the Scania truck division. He's since been touted as a potential chief executive for Opel and for Continental, but neither potential was apparently realized.
