2003 Mercedes-benz Sl55 Amg Kompressor Convertible 2-door 5.5l on 2040-cars
West Jordan, Utah, United States
|
A piece of automotive history! Jeremy Clarkson, Steve Jobs, and Michael Jordan have all owned one of these. Simply one of Mercedes best! This SL55 is spectacular. I have owned it for 4 years or so. I've babied it, never winter driven, and always kept up on maintenance and repairs. I am a Master-Certified mechanic and I own and operate a high-end automotive repair facility (do a web search for Integrity First Automotive in West Jordan, Utah). I am not and never have been a dealer and this car is my personal car. In my ownership I have (of course) kept the maintenance current. It has been stored in winters and this spring we just completed replacing both batteries, the driver's headlight ignitor, and a headlight washer. Just today we performed an oil and filter service (using the recommend Mobil 1 oil of course). Other service in my ownership include: fuel pump and filter, drive belts, trans fluid and filter service, rear brakes (pads and rotors), active body control (ABC) system fluid flush and filter change (VERY important for MB ABC cars), filters, oil changes, etc. I have owned this car for the last 20k miles or so. I bought it from a local used car dealer here in Utah - he claims it came from Walnut Creek CA. The pictures should do the talking - it is very, very nice. There is the odd stone chip here and there in the paint but very few - a couple have been touched up on the driver's fender. I dare-not say there are no scratches or dents but if they are there they are very hard to see - the body and paintwork is a 9+ on a 1-10 scale. The dr's seat is more worn than the passenger's and the trunk sometimes has to be slammed to close correctly. Tires are getting lower on tread but ok for now. Brakes all around are good. Engine runs like a top - as you can see in the picts the computer has no errors. Updated NAV discs included. Also included the silly cupholder for the passenger side and some netting things for cargo / I have the original manual too. I have three keys: two physical keys and an active/working keyless-go card for your wallet. Keyless-Go works great (of course). Windshield is still original. Everything performs as it should. It has never been abused / in fact I rarely use it - hence the sale (as you can see in the picts the registration expired in February but I haven't re-registered it because I haven't driven it). It was never involved in any accidents during my ownership. The autocheck report suggests that it had a minor accident before I owned it - I cannot see any evidence of this and I am a master-mechanic / I can see bodywork. The bumpers are original MB bumpers, the panels all look original, the paint is beautiful, etc, etc. If it had work done it was done very well. I'll be sad to see to go but I just don't use it and can't justify keeping it. You will absolutely love it. Local bidders are welcome to see it if an appointment is pre-arranged.

Mercedes widens luxury sales gap on strong early CLA demand
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Mercedes-Benz CLA sales have been booming, with the Stuttgart-based manufacturer moving 2,300 of the sleek four-doors in its first week on sale. That is astonishing. Mercedes moved nearly twice as many CLAs (which start at $29,900) in one week than Jaguar, a brand that is on a very solid roll, sold in all of September. Ignoring the price differences between the Jag line and the CLA, that is still wildly impressive.
Mercedes has been pushing the CLA in television ads, using a shortened version of its Super Bowl spot, which starred William Dafoe, Usher and Kate Upton. "As the bargain entrance into the Mercedes portfolio, we weren't sure how luxury buyers would react," Kelly Blue Book auto analyst Alec Gutierrez told Bloomberg.
The CLA push was just part of MB's 6.7-percent increase in September sales, which were also helped along by a 17-percent jump in E-Class sales. That surge has allowed Mercedes to widen its 2013 sales lead over its rival, BMW, to 2,491 cars, according to Bloomberg. If CLA sales continue at this rate, we can only expect that margin to grow.
Mercedes Concept GLA45 AMG is ready to run
Wed, 20 Nov 2013This is the Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA45 AMG, and what we mean by that is, "This is the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG." Mercedes has just unveiled the liveried 'concept' at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, giving potential customers a very good look at the newest lunatic in the AMG asylum - a 355-horsepower, 332-pound-foot crossover that uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in the CLA45 AMG and Europe's A45 AMG.
Joined with a seven-speed, AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission and an AMG Performance 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, Mercedes promises a sub-five-second run to 60 miles per hour. That's not just quick for a crossover, that's quick full stop.
That sleek, lifted body has also been tweaked by the minds at AMG's Affalterbach facility. A new rear spoiler, side sills and front clip are the primary aerodynamic tweaks. Aesthetically, AMG has fitted the requisite "Turbo" badges, gloss-black accents (including exhaust tips and roof rails) and a set of 21-inch, AMG-spec alloy wheels to round out the overall package. Based on the spy shots we've seen, expect slightly toned down aerodynamics when the GLA45 AMG arrives in showrooms.
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.
