Greetings,  Gentlemen meet ; "LUFTANSA"  our German airliner. -up for bid is your chance to own* THE *20th Century Benz. The 1999 S500 Grand Edition. 

This is a real and true Grand Edition, not just the neighbors S500 with some new floor mats. --- I have owned this car since December 2004. I bought it from the original owners, who took delivery in late 1998,- at Mercedes Benz San Francisco.

It has all the GRAND EDITION items and is one of the rarest modern benzes available. One of 600 made world wide to celebrate the closing of the W140 Klasse. 

When I bought the car it had 40K miles, it now some 10 years later under fastidious ownership has 138K miles. I have fed "Luftansa" a steady diet of Mobil 1 and good Mercedes parts if and when they are needed. She is a true - actual grand edition with the correct trim, paint , seats , steering wheel, dash , sills, mats , wheels and parchment leather interior. ---She has been a loyal servant, and I am sad to see her go. 

The Good: an actual S500 Grand Edition with basically nice paint, and good interior, cold AC (charged in 2011 ) good suspension, fresh brakes, good engine ,- drives well and I had her trans rebuilt about 3 years ago with a timing chain and lifter refresh at that time ( about 15K ago  )

The Bad: a lady at one of my clients clipped her nose with a 2005 tahoe in the parking lot. so she has a nose gash / dent and is being sold on a CA "salvage" title. 

I know she can be made better and be made yours, she just needs someone to work on her. My upgraded Alpine radio /cd / XM/IPOD that goes with the car. Michelin Pilot Sport tires on all that all are 50% or better tread depth. as a car I trust her, but she is being sold AS_IS with no refunds or take backs or funny business. She is available for local personal and or compensated inspection at your choice. 

If you have questions or need help , feel free to contact me through ebay channels and we will do our best to answer them to the fullest.

Does Alex Rodriguez' Mercedes dealership have a PR problem?

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Alex Rodriguez, in case you haven't heard, is seemingly the new Most Hated Man In Baseball, ostensibly replacing commissioner Bud Selig (for now). Rodriguez was slammed with a 211-game suspension due to his role in the MLB's latest steroid scandal in which "A-Roid," as fans have taken to calling the former superstar, was cited with steroid use and attempts to hide his involvement by "engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate" the investigation, according to the MLB's official report.
Why is this on a car site, then? Because Rodriguez' name is attached Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz in League City, TX. An Ad Age report cites Mercedes-Benz USA in saying that A-Rod owns "about half'" of the dealership. Mercedes, for what it's worth, isn't going to any to any lengths to distance itself from its dealership or its controversial namesake, saying, "We never promoted the fact that A-Rod owned a dealership, so there's really nothing to 'distance' ourselves from. And since his activity is not illegal but rather prohibited by MLB, there's nothing actionable here."
With the scandal still a fresh piece of news and A-Rod's pending appeal, it's difficult to tell what sort of effect, if any, his name will have on the dealership's sales. Ad Age contacted the GM of Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz to get the dealership's view, but no calls were returned. According to Mercedes, any name change is up to Rodriguez and his partner(s) at the dealership. Somehow, though, we think A-Rod has other things to worry about beyond his dealership's name.

Mercedes to market Tesla-powered 2014 B-Class EV in U.S.

Thu, 05 Jul 2012

Looks like another Tesla Motors investor will be looking to cash in on their connection. Autoweek reports Mercedes-Benz will offer their B-Class in the U.S. with Tesla propulsion.
The magazine says their source at the German automaker confirms plans for a B-Class electric-only vehicle. While Tesla already provides battery packs for the battery-powered Smart ForTwo, the B-Class EV will reportedly have Tesla batteries, motor and other components. U.S. residents should be able to procure one sometime in 2014.
The same Mercedes source says plans for a hybrid B-Class have been postponed for now. Adding a range-extending, gasoline-powered engine to an electric vehicle would put the car into a different class for which rebates and incentives aren't as favorable in the States.
