2000 Mercedes-benz Sl-class R129 on 2040-cars
Snohomish, Washington, United States
If you have any questions feel free to email: avisalleap@winetasters.net .
Are you getting tired of seeing your car and plenty of other of these "ultra rare and low number" production super
cars? Tired of seeing an Instagram post of a 458 instead of it as a poster in a garage? Tired of seeing these
unicorns of hyper cars everywhere you go? Well this car is the one. It's a low number, luxurious, fast for its
time; super car. The V12 in the front, RWD, sticky tires and the roar of the soul of Germany from within this car
is an instant classic collectors piece.
For sale is a pristine 2000 Mercedes-Benz SL600. This example is sitting at 22,000 miles. You may be wondering to
yourself why the vehicle is not priced following any KBB or NADA values. The reason behind this is the 2000 SL600
is the perfect example of a future classic. The over engineering of every little thing you cannot see behind the
meters of soft touch gray leather, the real stretched and pulled metal fenders on each corner, the use of hydraulic
fluid to move everything unlike hundreds of faulty of sensors in today's cars; that set ablaze your Lamborghini
Aventador in the middle of a traffic signal.
Now if you cannot understand this reasoning I would ask you to kindly move along. This is for the purists. The real
enthusiast who are getting tired of opening any of their social media outlets and seeing a vast array of Ferrari's,
Lamborghini's, Bugatti's, Pagani's, etc. Every car show or meet on a weekend it is filled with either 458's or
Huracan's; yes these cars are a testament of where our industry is going but there is no soul of these now mass
produced and non low number cars. They have become disposable and have the same resale value of any other brand:
under-appreciated. So do yourself and everybody else a good deed and buy my 2000 SL600. Not because you cannot
afford the other supercars but you'll truly be the only one at the next cars and coffee with something nobody else
will have.

Carlsson SLK 340 Judd is winged up for hill climb glory
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Carlsson has been expertly tuning Mercedes-Benz products for more than 20 years now, but we can't say as we remember the outfit turning out anything quite so racy as this SLK 340 Judd that it has brought along to the Geneva Motor Show this year.
This SLK is meant for competition, obviously, and Carlsson has already booked the car to race in several hill climb events in the E1 category. The purpose-built racer should have a fighting chance to do well in said races, with a shape vetted in wind tunnel testing for maximum downforce, the SLK uses a carbon-fiber bodyshell to help achieve a curb weight of just about 1,720 pounds.
The featherweight SLK's name comes from its 3.4-liter V8 engine, which churns out a wicked 610 horsepower to go with its 317 pound-feet of torque. A Hewland transmission with paddle shift operation manages all of the thrust.
2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4Matic [w/video]
Wed, 20 Feb 2013Maybe you saw our recent blog snippet on a bunch of US journos getting pulled over in the middle of nowhere in Catalunya, Spain for driving a bunch of new 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG models. By all accounts, they weren't speeding - which makes me softly guffaw. I was there in that group, yet I had taken the more direct route into the mountains from Barcelona so that I could... well, so that I could go faster. No one hassled me and I had the Autovia all to myself. And it was the goodniks - the team players - who got nabbed because Spain had decided to suddenly enforce the never enforced "must carry an international driver's license" clause of the highway code.
The departing E63 AMG with 518 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque from its M157 5.5-liter biturbo V8 hasn't exactly been poorly received. It isn't as crisp as, nor as pleasantly evil as its C63 AMG kid brother, but we generally accept that the heavier and larger car will always feel, well, heavier and larger.
As part of the 2014 E-Class mid-cycle redesign, Affalterbach decided to give its E63 AMG more power and torque for the occasion. The base car now gives off 550 hp and 531 lb-ft, while the hotter S version I tested (formerly the AMG Performance Pack) produces 577 hp and 590 lb-ft. The other big novelty is that E63 sedans will be available with both rear- and all-wheel drive, while all US-spec E63 wagons will be 4Matic equipped.
Boston bombers were tracked using Mercedes mbrace [w/video]
Sun, 28 Apr 2013We now know Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the two brothers said to be behind the Boston Marathon bombings, planned to head for New York City to detonate more improvised explosive devices. As it turns out, that plan was foiled by the quick thinking of one Mercedes-Benz owner, diligent police work and the Mercedes-Benz mbrace system. When the brothers carjacked a 26-year-old Chinese entrepreneur identified only as "Danny," they didn't realize his Mercedes-Benz M-Class was equipped with the mbrace system, which can call for help in the event of an accident or track the vehicle in the event of a theft.
According to reports, the Tsarnaev brothers held Danny hostage for nearly 90 minutes while they drove around Boston forming a plan until they had to stop for fuel. When one of the brothers went inside to pay, the other put his gun down for a moment. Danny took the opportunity to unlatch his seat belt, open the door and run to another nearby gas station, where he told the owner to call the police.
When police arrived, they used the mbrace system to track the SUV after receiving Danny's permission, and it wasn't long before a shootout between police and the brothers ensued. When it was over, the eldest brother lay dead in the street. For more on the story, view the video report available below.
