 This was Mercedes top of the line car.  I was told that it cost $144,000 new. I cannot verify that.  It has every conceivable option that I can think of- from massaging seats to dark legal tinted windows, parking sensors, leather interior, etc.  And does that V12 really go!!   Why couldn't I have owned this 40 years ago?  That beautiful silver paint with the Fergiano custom 20 inch newer tires has a Camaro like appearance. It is plenty fast even for a non turbo version.


    Everybody who sees this car really are awe struck by it's 100 mph look.  If you are power mad you can add the twin turbos and computer chip and you can pull over 700hp out of this brute.  Let your grandmother drive this and it will get about 15mpg.   When you are driving it  at 130 (limiter) you just don't have time to look at a gas gauge. - and smoking past most "fast cars" their drivers are shocked and must think it was just an F16 going by.   Yes I may be exaggerating but once you get into the cockpit of this thing you will find out that there is nothing but pure pleasure aboard.   I have had several women want to buy it but don't have the funds.    

    Now for the negatives-  if you are married your wife will not like this car for obvious reasons.   At 63 years of age that is not so much a concern but my wife hates the car because I bought it without telling her until I brought it home.  Sorry, it has been so enjoyable, but finally the negativity has worn me down and I need to go on with my life.  There are a few issues with the car.  This car has a rebuilt title.  Rebuilt means that it was wrecked but has been repaired and inspected by the state to get a rebuilt title.  This car has the original hood and front fenders so the damage in my opinion was not that bad.  This car drives straight and does not display any hints of ever being in a wreck.  I would not afraid to take my hands off the wheel at 100 miles an hour.  There are
a few other things.  The Distronic unit has a pinhole in it so it doesn't work.  It slows your car down automatically if you are approaching  a car too fast.  About as necessary as hubcaps on mag wheels, but part of the equipment that came with the car.  The ABS light has been on since I got the car but I know that this car will stop on a dime every time.  The engine light has stayed on since I purchased the car but after being serviced at the Isringhauser Mercedes dealership they told me not to be too concerned about the lights.  If you are serious about the car you are more than welcome to have this car diagnosed  locally at your own expense.  Two other concerns- sometimes when you first try to start the car you have to turn the switch back off and on one time or the ignition will not engage. I assume a new ignition switch will cure that but I never got around to getting it fixed.  And if you let the car sit for a week or so the body will settle onto of the tires. Read where the active body control often had a leaking hose.  Start the car up and it goes back up.   Just come and drive it- make your own mind up.  I owe more on this car than I am asking for it but the enjoyment I have gotten from it has been worth it.  I have not abused this car but have enjoyed its abilities on occasion.  Come have a look and fly this beast.

Chevy Traverse, Hyundai Santa Fe revealed; Buick Envista, BMW M4 CSL driven | Autoblog Podcast #790

Fri, Jul 21 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor John Beltz Snyder. After some banter, including the discussion of an excellent tomato sauce recipe, they get into car reviews. Greg has been driving the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53, while John has been testing the BMW M4 CSL and Buick's new Envista crossover. There's lots of interesting news this week. Chevy revealed the 2024 Traverse with new looks, a new engine and on off-road(ish) trim. Hyundai gave us a glimpse at the wild styling of the next Santa Fe. Dodge might bring back the Stealth nameplate as an SUV, and that has implications for the Durango as well. Ford, after repeatedly raising prices, has turned around and significantly discounted the F-150 Lightning across all trims. The first Tesla Cybertruck has rolled off the line as a pre-production prototype. Finally, we reach in to the mailbag and help a listener decide what to do with cars for himself and his kids in this week's Spend My Money segment.

Mercedes plans Audi TT fighter

Sun, May 3 2015

With the growth in popularity of modular platforms in the auto industry, it's rapidly becoming commonplace to see a company with multiple models that look different but share a significant number of parts underneath. One such an example is Mercedes-Benz's line of compacts, including the A-Class hatchback, CLA-Class sedan, GLA-Class crossover. Two derivatives lacking from German brand's current, small-car range are a coupe and convertible, but that might be changing soon. Mercedes is hard at work on a coupe with 2+2 seating, a liftback roof and styling inspired by the AMG GT, according to Autocar. Daimler Chairman Dieter Zetsche reportedly supports the idea, too. The new two-door could be on the road as soon as 2019 to target models like the Audi TT and BMW 2 Series, and a convertible version might follow later. This little, luxury two-door would ride on Mercedes' next-gen, front-wheel-drive compact platform, according to Autocar. It reportedly allows the German company to vary a model's size more than the current version and can better adapt to hybrid powertrains. A previous report also suggested the coupe and convertible might use this improved chassis, if they got the green light. Of course, a Mercedes model is hardly complete without an AMG version, so that would also be a possibility. According to Autocar, the performance brand's 2.0-liter four-cylinder could see output pushed to 400 horsepower compared to the current 355-hp unit. Earlier rumors also indicated a more powerful version of the boosted mill might be on the way. With Autocar backing all this up only with unnamed sources, the rumors should probably be taken with a grain of salt at the moment. However, a small coupe from the brand doesn't seem entirely impossible. After all, after two-door versions of the C-,E-, and S-Class, why not a smaller one, too?

How could a lifted Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG be more awesome? Add an axle

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

We are fully confident in saying that this will be the most amazing thing you see all day. First of all, it's a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen - in AMG spec, no less. And it's being shown off in high-definition video glory, blasting through the desert, jumping over sand dunes, and generally being awesome. But here's the kicker: It has six wheels. Three axles. And they're all driven. Holy $%!#.
Under the hood is AMG's usual 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8, and total output is rated at 536 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque. That's impressive and all, but do keep in mind that the G63 6x6 weighs in at 8,322 pounds or, you know, the weight of two E-Class sedans. Combine that with its 18 inches of ground clearance, 37-inch tires and five locking differentials and you've got a vehicle capable of, well, everything you've ever imagined or will ever imagine for the rest of your life.
But the goodness doesn't stop once you open the doors. Oh, no. This thing is fit for a king - or a sheik, more appropriately - with ultimately luxurious seating for four. The rear bench seat has been removed in favor of two bucket seats with a fixed console in the middle, and the rear seats have been moved back beyond the usual B pillar to allow for more legroom.
