Your chance to get into a well maintained and still extremely powerful 1999 Mercedes Benz E430!

I have owned this car for over 10 years and it has been great. I have made some minor modifications including installing HID headlamps as well as changing the rear tail-lights. Despite being over 14 years old, this V8 still gives me 25 mpg on the highway. The car has nearly 189k miles and has been thoroughly maintained with regular oil changes every 10k miles using only 100% synthetic oil. This car has only been fueled with premium gas. New tires were put on the car in March 2012 at 169k miles. In late 2006 this car collided with a deer which resulted in nearly $8k of repair work.

Other recent maintenance work includes:

June 2009 - I spent nearly $2,500 changing the oxygen sensor, the mass air flow sensor, the lower ball joints, the upper control arms, and valve covers amongst other work (125k miles)
December 2010 - Front coil spring mount (147k miles)
October 2011 - Front pads and rotors were replaced (162k miles)
March 2012 - Four new tires (169k miles)
April 2012 - Replaced the right upper and lower ball joints as well as the left outer tie rod
May 2012 - New battery
July 2012 - Replaced the motor mount

Since 2005 I have spent nearly $6,500 in total on the car to keep it running in top condition. It has never let me down.

Despite all the repairs and regular maintenance, this car is still over 14 years old. As such there are numerous non-critical repairs that could be made including the air conditioner (likely needs a new compressor), the front right fog, and the sunroof mechanical unit. The biggest cosmetic issue involves rust. Like many Mercedes from this age (i.e. the Chrysler merger debacle era), this car has rust issues. I have regular touched up the rust spots with paint, but a true fix would involve buffing and refinishing (reference the pictures).

This car has served me extremely well for over a decade and was my first Benz. I now hope it will serve as someone else's entry into the wonderful world of MB. This could be a car enthusiasts dream as the work that needs to be done is not major and perfect for someone who wants to roll up their sleeves. The engine is in great condition and still roars when you gun it.

This car is being sold as is with no guarantees what so ever. I have tried to take many representative photos to allow prospective buyers to best see the car and its condition. The blue book for this car is still over $4k. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions or would like to set up time to see/drive the car.

Mercedes goes boating again with G63 AMG-inspired Cigarette

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

Cigarette Racing has another Mercedes-Benz AMG-themed boat headed out to sea. After The SLS AMG-inspired 46-foot Rough Rider in 2010 and the C63 AMG Black Series-inspired 50-foot Marauder in 2012, this year's Miami Boat Show will introduce the 42-foot Huntress, theme provided by the G63 AMG.
The latest Cigarette homage is less overly racy than the ones before, befitting a watercraft modeled off a performance SUV, but don't let the looks fool: there are five Mercury Racing Verado 350SCi outboard engines, each one of them packing a supercharged inline six-cylinder with, natch, 350 horsepower. Those 1,750 horses will be good for 78 miles per hour when you've got some saltwater underneath you.
If you're in South Florida this week, Booth B-23 at the Miami Convention Center could be your best place to see it. Otherwise, like the 536-hp G63 AMG, it could be hard to catch. There's a press release with more information below.

2014 Mercedes SL and SLK add small expansion to Takata airbag recall

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

Mercedes-Benz is the latest automaker to be affected by Takata's massive airbag recall. The company has announced a voluntary recall campaign on a small number of model-year 2014 SLK- and SL-Class roadsters.
In Mercedes' case, 300 vehicles are affected, 200 of which are in the hands of customers. According to spokesperson Donna Boland, the affected roadsters were built between March and April of this year.
The issue, which is apparently the fault of one of Takata's subcontractors, rests with some improperly installed fasteners, which could keep the airbag from performing the way it's supposed to. According to Boland, Mercedes isn't sure what, if any, injuries the recalled airbags could cause, but simply claims there's an increased risk in these particular vehicles. There's been no reported instances of the faulty airbags deploying on a customer and the original issue was found in a production test.

VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.
