Minor scrapes on the underneath of the vehicle from scraping speed bumps etc."

Selling a 2003 Mercedes SL500 230R Roadster. Seller is only the second owner and the car has 80,000. On average, car has seen 8,000 miles a year. The car is fully loaded minus Pano Roof, Distonic Cruise, and Voice Command. The vehicle has been meticulously maintained and is near perfect condition. Always garaged, always professionally detailed and professionally maintained. The suspension has three ride heights that can be selected from inside the car, the bottom setting has been reprogrammed to sit 2.5 inches lower but the mid and high ride height remain at factory settings. The only other modifications to the car are tasteful 20 inch rims with about 10,000 miles on them, smoked lights, tinted windows, and painted grills, vents and badges. The exhaust has had the rear resonators deleted, which is 100% smog legal. The exhaust is still very quiet at low rpms with a tasteful rumble at mid and upper rpm range.

The car is standard equipped with AMG, Sport, and Launch Packages. The vehicle has a stock BOSE sound system with integrated navigation and a six disc CD changer. The sound system also has speed sensitive volume adjust, 8 speakers and a subwoofer with an aux audio input. The interior is leather with wooden trim, heated/cooled/pulsating seats with 3 position memory and the driver said moves back and raises the steering wheel automatically for easy exit. For safety the car has front and side airbags, as well as a knee airbag for the driver and electronic parking sensors on both the front and back of the car. The car is also equipped with braktronic brake assist which preloads the brakes when you let off the gas quickly at high speeds. The brakes also "pulsate" in the rain to keep the braking surface dry for optimal braking. The brakes are also equipped with a electronic force distribution system that prevents brake steer under heavy breaking. At 60 mph you can put your hands on the roof and stand on the brakes, the car will not veer left or right, it will not dive, it will come to a slow and smooth stop. The suspension is electronically activated, hydraulic pneumatic actuators that assist in anti body roll (ABC). When equipped, the car will automatically adjust in turns to stiffen one side and soften the other so the car stays level in turns and the car will also automatically lower itself at speed to reduce drag. The transmission is a "learning" transition which will adjust its shift points to your driving style and it also has a "wet" and "sport" mode that has preset shift points. The car also has speed proportional power steering which stiffens as needed for optimal steering. Basically with 302 hp @ 5600 RPM and 339 ftlbs @ 2700 the car is comfortably fast and accommodates the drive in every facet. The hard top convertible is the cars finest selling point, even in the down position offering a considerable amount of trunk space.

Tastefully fast, aggressive and classy the SL series is truly a gentle mans sports car. I was fortunate enough to buy this from a gentleman who took terrific care of it, and I have followed in suit. Car has been professionally maintained and I have all receipts. All manufacturer recalls have been performed, and the car has only been worked on by Mercedes mechanics with Mercedes parts and fluids, to Mercedes specifications.

I will ship the car at buyers expense, and require a deposit within 72 hours of the close of the auction. Require pickup within ten days of the close of the auction. Will meet or deliver locally to San Diego/Los Angeles area.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG rumbles on stage 4Matic style

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Bruce Hornsby and his soothing piano skills helped introduce us to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but the monstrous E63 AMG sedan needed no entrance music as it rumbled on stage. The 550-horsepower (and up) sedan sat proudly alongside the rest of the redesigned E-Class on stage at the Detroit Auto Show, but stood miles apart in intention and execution.
In addition to a choice of sedan and wagon body styles, the E63 AMG will also offer buyers the choice of the standard 550 hp or an upgraded 577-hp S-Model; regardless of output, all 2014 E63 AMG models will come standard with the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system.
We already saw the E63 AMG's aggressive styling last week, but now we have a full assortment of live images for you to enjoy as well as the Mercedes-Benz press release, which is also posted below.

Next Mercedes S-Class stretching into this 600 Pullman limo

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

To the concern of nobody in particular, Mercedes-Benz will not be re-upping its Maybach line of ultra-luxury limousines. No, instead the German automaker will be stretching its already roomy S-Class, to make this upcoming 600 Pullman version of the decked-out beast.
The car in our new gallery of spy shots is sporting beefy B-pillars and a massive set of rear doors that should allow perfectly graceful ingress and egress from what is likely to be a palatial rear space. (In one photo we can even see a long-wheelbase S-Class in line with the new Pullman, handily exhibiting the size of the new variant.) The exterior modifications are otherwise obscured, though we can guess at revised front and rear fascia and lighting elements, based on both end being heavily taped for these test runs.
It's a good bet that the Pullman will make use of M-B's twin-turbocharged V12 engine, though sources indicate that a hybrid version might eventually be in the offing, as well.

Paul di Resta returns to DTM with Mercedes

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Some drivers manage to make the transition from one form of motor racing into another, and some run into trouble. Take Paul di Resta, for example. The promising young Scottish driver dominated Formula 3 racing in Europe in 2006, then moved over to Germany's hugely competitive DTM touring car series where he finished second in 2008, third in 2009 and first in 2010. But things didn't go as smoothly for Paul - cousin to retired Indy champion Dario Franchitti - when he moved in to Formula One with the Force India team.
In three years on the grid, he failed to score a single podium finish. Little surprise, then, that Force India opted not to renew his contract for this season. Left without a ride, di Resta is now going back to DTM with longtime supporter Mercedes-Benz, testing the new C-Class touring car today in Portugal. It's good news for Mercedes, which is celebrating 120 years in motor racing this season and, with 2005 champion Gary Paffett also on board, can now count two former champions on its DTM roster.
We wouldn't count Paul out of F1 for good, though. When he won the DTM title four years ago, he was also moonlighting as Force India's test driver, and we wouldn't be surprised to see him pull similar double-duty with the Mercedes F1 team (or another Benz-powered outfit) this year before spring-boarding back into grand prix racing in the future. At 27 years old, he may not have been the youngest driver on the grid this year, but he's still got a good few years ahead of him.
