Up for auction is my 2000 Mercedes SLK 230. Great little Roadster with lots of new little stuff. New Headlight assembly, mass air flow sensor, new complete clutch assembly(pressure plate, disc, T/O bearing and pilot bearing less than 1K mi.), slave cylinder, drive belts and driver side view mirror and motor. Just had its Mobil 1 oil changed and K&N filter cleaned. The top works flawlessly and neither its hydraulics or the engine leak a drop of oil. The leather interior is also in very good shape, non-smoker, but has the typical plastic finish wear and the passenger seat has a small less than an inch of seam coming undone. Also had the headliner redone. The carpeting is in excellent shape with good floor mats(just not stock ones) protecting it. The exterior is definitely straight and appears to have never been hit. It has a repaint on it with a couple very small imperfections(not bad at all) and a little scuff marks on the corners in the front. Overall the car really is in very good shape, runs out well shifts great and hugs the road tight(speaking of which the rear tires are fairly new <8K). The one part of the car I enjoy most and this is going to sound funny.... is the stereo! It has the factory Mercedes stereo made by Blaupunkt with the built in cassette player and 6 disc changer in the trunk with the Bose speaker system. This thing CRANKS and it sounds the best either top up or down. One more item is the car is surprisingly quiet on the road with the windows up no wind noise.

Mercedes-Benz introduces new heavy security M-Class Guard model

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

Mercedes-Benz has unveiled a new addition to the company's line of personal security vehicles. The M-Class Guard features bullet-proof side windows made with special laminated glazing and a polycarbonate inner layer to protect occupants from shards of glass. Mercedes says the M-Class Guard meets protection level VR4 according to the Bullet Resistant Vehicles 2009 standards, based on testing from the independent Ulm-based Ballistics Bureau, which means it can withstand .357 Magnum and .44 fire from multiple angles. It can also stand up to the DM51 hand grenade when equipped with optional floor armoring. Why skimp?
Buyers looking for protection from the world's literal slings and arrows can opt for the ML350 BlueTEC with its 258 horsepower 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine. With 457 pound-feet of torque, the oil-burner should have no trouble hustling the privileged class about. Of course, the ML500 offers a bit more punch courtesy of a 4.6-liter twin-turbo V8 with 408 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. Prices start at 105,050 euros for the diesel and 118,650 euros for the V8. You can check out the full press release below for more information.

Jay Leno drives the incredible Mercedes-Benz C111-II concept

Tue, Oct 20 2015

You might think that Jay Leno has driven it all, but there are a few vehicles so rare that getting behind the wheel is a special experience, even for him. This week on Jay Leno's Garage, the comedian has one of those unique experiences by taking a ride in a 1970 Mercedes-Benz C111-II concept on loan from the Mercedes Classics Center. First unveiled in 1969, the C111 concept featured an in-vogue wedge shape, gullwing doors, and a mid-mounted three-rotor engine, and it seemed like the supercar of the future. This C111-II went even further in 1970 with tweaked styling and a four-rotor powerplant behind the driver. A V8 eventually replaced the experimental mill, but that switch is also part of the reason this one is still on the road today. Leno gets the full history about Mercedes' original plans for the C111 project, but obviously the real highlight is the rare drive in this vintage concept. He clearly relishes the experience of finally getting behind the wheel of this piece of auto history, one of the few automotive dreams he hadn't yet fulfilled.
