The car has been wonderful as a daily until needed something different for a sales job. The past year to year and a half, the car has not been driven much. It needs TLC as developed some issues over the past 5+ years. I am not a mechanic plus do not have time to put into repairing or restoring it. This car has a very strong motor and might be great as a parts car if it is not restored.
The motor has 156,209 miles and runs strong. It needs a little exercise plus need to run out some stale gas. I recently added fuel additive plus preserver to tank. I will record and attach a new video that shows how easy it starts and drives down the road. The engine has dripped a small amount of oil ever since I got it. I call it my automatic oil change. I just add oil every month or two.
The transmission was bad when I bought the car about 8 years ago. I drove it back from California without trouble and for a year or two before I spent $3,235 on a new transmission 9/30/2004. That transmission had troubles so I bought a rebuilt one and had it installed on 8/08/2008 for $3,536. Although it drives good now, I recommend a transmission tune up or adjustment as there is a delay on getting going sometimes and feels like it sometimes slips. It may just need more fluid or an adjustment.
The power steering pump and starter have been replaced within the past 3 years. An extensive brake job with new rotors was done about 5 years ago. I can't remember the last time the car had a tune-up so could use some maintenance.
The car was primer paint when I bought it. I had $4000 paint job in original color about 8 years ago. There is an area on the passenger side roof where paint is peeling. A tree limb fell and the thinner limbs put a few dings into the car mostly on the passenger side. A vandal rammed a shopping cart into the passenger side door. The car has not been wrecked while I owned it. I just noticed the bottom real trim piece has dropped down and needs to be firmly attached. The sun roof acted up because of electrical problem and would not fully close. I applied tape on the roof which sun baked on. I later pulled most of it off and used silicone caulk to keep leaks out. The photos were taken with the past two weeks except for the 3 with the date on them so you can see the damage.
The electrical needs work. The battery drains and a fuse for sunroof and heated seats blows immediately. I rigged the headlights with a toggle switch and have it used it that way for 3-4 years. The AC and heat do not work. The AC worked several years ago and don't know what is wrong with it. The wipers work, all electric windows work, the headlights and tail lights work, electric seats move, newer stereo and amp work however you need to add a radio antenna. You can get buy with a cheap standard one or put in an electric telescoping model. The electric door locks do not work but the key locks the doors so not a big issue with me.
I recommend new wheels. A shop broke one of my wheels and then replaced it with one off ebay which does not fit without a spacer. It looks like there could be some play where the lugs go which give a vibration around 40mph. There is also tire wear on the front driver's tire which may be front end alignment or other problem. The car has a vibration around 40-50 that disappears at higher speed.
The interior needs work. The seats have cracks in the leather plus the headliner and trim are not perfect. Old spray glue has dripped and stained seats and trim. The dashboard also has cracks. I would replace carpet, recover seats, and new headliner and trim pieces if restoring the car. The trunk gasket is cracked and needs to be changed because leaks into trunk when it rains. The gloss coating on the wood is cracked on the gear shift knob and some of the wood trim.
I bought the car in June of 2005 and could not get it to pass emissions test. I drove it anyway and put nearly 50,000 miles on the car. Since I never officially registered it and titled it in my name, I will include the original title with my correct info on the back plus an Affidavit of Correction form and Affidavit of Non-Dealer Transfers of Motor Vehicles and Boats form. If you use the car for parts then you don't need to worry about putting the title in your name. I will give you all the completed paperwork to do it just in case.
Overall, this car would provide reliable transportation with a little work. My German friend who relocated here from Germany said that the 5.6L motor in this car is the best that Mercedes ever made and is expected to surpass 500,000 miles. Come back and check out this listing early next week as I will add new photos and videos that give a walk around and a virtual test drive.

2024 Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV tops $180,000
Tue, Oct 24 2023The 2024 Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV is staking claim to the "next era of driving pleasure," but that pleasure will come at a steep price. The company officially announced Wednesday that the super-lux, battery-electric SUV starts at $181,050 (assuming the $1,150 destination fee doesn't increase for 2024) — $50,000 more than the standard Mercedes-Benz EQS 580. And you can order one starting today. While U.S. figures are still partially up in the air, we do have some preliminary specs. To go with its 649-horsepower output, the EQS 680 SUV was rated at 600 km of total range on the WLTP cycle, which works out to about 373 miles. While Mercedes-Benz doesn't have EPA figures to offer, the EQS 580 is rated at approximately 340 miles with the same pack and a very similar (613 km) WLTP-certified range. 0-60 comes in just 4.1 seconds on the way to a top speed of 130 MPH. Charging the EQS 680 SUV back up from 0% will take a bit longer — nearly 13 hours on a Level II AC charger — but DC fast charging (10-80%) takes just 31 minutes at its max throughput rate of 200 kW. The Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV is available with five different two-tone color combinations. All of the two-tone options will feature the lighter color on the bottom half of the SUV, since the darker tone up top better accentuates the vehicleÂ’s aerodynamics. Maybach-specific design details include vertical metal-look lines in the EQSÂ’ faux grille and a Mercedes-Benz star ornament on the hood. ThereÂ’s a Maybach logo on the D-pillar and the taillights have a unique running light pattern. Mercedes-Benz says 21-inch wheels are standard for now; larger 22-inch wheels, as well as a sixth two-tone paint option, will come later. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Maybach and Aston Martin alliance talks fall apart
Tue, 27 Sep 2011If you have, like us, been salivating at the notion of a new generation of Maybach and Lagonda ultra-luxury crafts built by Aston Martin, we've got some bad news: According to reports emanating from Germany, talks between AML and Daimler have broken down.
The proposal under negotiation would have seen Daimler outsourcing production of the next family of Maybach models to Aston Martin, which in return would benefit from Mercedes-Benz platforms and engines - not only for its svelte GTs, but also for its own future Lagonda line of limousines and luxury SUVs. That, and a boatload of money - or at least that's what AML was reportedly seeking, an issue that served as the stumbling block over which the deal reportedly collapsed.
That's not to say the two parties couldn't still reach some sort of a compromise, but short of that, Daimler may opt to either shut down Maybach altogether, find another partner, or take another stab at building new models internally.
