Price is FIRM. No need to make offers. Cash only.

OK condition. This car runs and stops, turns left, turns right, backs up. That's pretty much it. And it's really safe. It won't stall or anything, runs strong and AC is cold. Still putting on miles! But only about 100 miles a week, short trips to the store, doctor, library and so on, it's my wife's car and she stays home with the baby.

The current set of Michelins have only 15K miles on them (have invoice). Those cost $600.

The tires, plus $1,900 of work I put into it right after I bought it 2.5 years ago (have invoice). I won't recover any of it that's why the price is firm.

I replaced the faded purpled tinting, the new tinting is nice. Did all the regular oil change.

Have most of my service records and some previous owner's.

Issues (read carefully!):

Front rotors need to go. I would have replaced them except I can't get one of the lug nuts off... the previous guy probably cross threaded the lug nut. If you don't know how to fix this then you shouldn't buy this car because it needs rotors, this is a serious safety issue, it's a big reason I'm getting rid of this car otherwise I'd keep it. Priced accordingly.

Engine idles a little rough at times, not earthquake rough, just a little rougher than a Mercedes should idle, most of the time it purrs... I don't know, maybe distributor or wiring or gasket? Like I said it doesn't stall, no, it runs very strong and gets good mileage. Burns oil though like all old cars do.

Previous owner repainted it, was it in an accident? Autocheck.com shows clean history. The title is clean and clear! Run your own Carfax and see. I had been very happy with the car... until I needed to do the rotors and couldn't unscrew the lug nut.

Some dents and dings on body, a few rust spots on front window frame

Peeling paint from bumpers

Driver's door release latch loose (see pics in link) but works so well I never even think about it.

Many miscellaneous like cracked plastic, broken leather on pillars around front seatbelt hangers, bumps, bruises...

NOT A SHOWROOM CAR! Not even close. It's perfect for your wife if you like her a little but not that much.

I got a newer Mercedes so I don't need this one. Good luck with it if you buy it.

Car is in 92649. If local buyer we'll arrange a public meeting ground for the show and test drive, if you even want to drive it after looking at it that is. If you're really going to buy it then we'll conduct the transaction at a AAA office.

If not local then buyer responsible for all transport arrangement and costs. I don't know a thing about shipping a car and am not going out of my way to do it.

Mercedes out to defend its F1 crown with new W06 Hybrid Silver Arrow

Sun, Feb 1 2015

They say there's only one way to go when you're on top, and that's down. That's the direction in which every other team on the Formula One grid will be trying to push Mercedes this season, but the defending champions will be doing their best to stay on top. What you see here is the embodiment of that effort. After taking pole position at all but one race last season, the checkered flag at all but three and an impressive dozen one-two finishes, the new Mercedes AMG F1 W06 Hybrid will have one heck of an act to follow. In accordance with the only major change to the sporting regulations for 2015, the most obvious difference over last year's W05 is the revised front end, but the team insists it worked hard over the winter to optimize everything underneath that silver and teal bodywork, from the suspension to the turbocharged hybrid power unit and everything in between. One of only two teams (alongside Ferrari) on the grid this season to develop its own engine in-house, the Mercedes PU106A proved practically unbeatable last season. And with engine development all but completely frozen in the off-season, its innovations are likely to prove just as insurmountable this year. But as team principal Toto Wolff puts it, in quoting Babe Ruth, "Yesterday's home runs don't win today's games." While nothing's for certain in one of the world's the most competitive arenas, chances are still high that Mercedes will continue to dominate this season just as it did the last. The most gripping battle, then, may very well be waged once again between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, whose rivalry started long before either got their start in F1, from karting and up through the ranks of the lower formulae. Though Lewis was just crowned world champion for the second time, Nico has been with the Mercedes team for longer, has been in F1 for longer and didn't give up on chasing Lewis all of last season – so don't expect him to this year, either. MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Gets Back to Work with the new F1 W06 Hybrid Silver Arrow Jerez, Feb 01, 2015 The MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team today unveiled its 2015 Formula One World Championship challenger, the F1 W06 Hybrid, ahead of the first day of pre-season testing at the Circuito de Jerez in Spain.

Sunday Drive: From a mid-engine 'Vette to a restomod RV

Sun, Jan 7 2018

Automotive enthusiasts are a diverse bunch. As proof, we present last week's top posts on Autoblog, starting with some really good spy photos of the upcoming mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette. Will it be sold alongside a classic front-engine 'Vette? We have no idea, but we can't wait to find out. Up next is a pickup truck. Can't get much further from a supercar, right? At least both the Corvette and the 2019 Ram 1500 – which will debut a radical new design that appears to eschew the mini big-rig look of past Rams in favor of something more refined – are both American. Decidedly not American? The Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV. The boxy off-road 'ute looks a heck of a lot like the old one, which is probably a good thing, but we know it'll be fancier and more luxurious than ever before. Check out the leaked images below. Also hailing from Germany, but sharing absolutely nothing else in common at all, is the Audi A4 Allroad. We've been driving this all-wheel-drive wagon for a while now, and we like it quite a bit. And, last but not least, is a 1959 bus that's been converted into an RV. Like we said, y'all certainly are a diverse bunch.
