You are bidding on a 2001 CL55 AMG in beautiful condition. The car drives and runs really well, and a joy to show off. The engine sounds great, runs strong and powerful. Car comes from warmer (south) climate than Chicagoland, where it sits now. I have owned it for nearly two years. I have only driven it a few times during the winter and otherwise stored in my nice warm/dry garage during this season. No sign of rust anywhere I have seen.

There are the usual wear marks on the car, although very little considering its young age. I have tried to capture them all on the photos. As examples, you can see the blemishes on the front bumper where the top coat has "blistered" in some areas (not noticeable unless up close), and a few small dings on side panels, and some scratches on the lower/center part of back bumper. Body is otherwise in great shape and paint is beautiful. Absolutely love how this paint type changes appearance with the changing outside light and time of day. I always receive many compliments from car owners who know what this machine is. 

The only body work I have done to car, and that I can see ever was done to the car, is the rear (trunk) spoiler had a small crack in it when I bought it. A local body shop fixed and painted it for me. To my knowledge, all features of the car work excepts the driver's seat massage feature. I have not tried to fix it nor had it quoted for repair so it could be cheap or expensive but I don't know. A feature frankly I have never needed so just not worth fixing for me.

The car has been maintained by St. Charles Motorsports (IL) while I have owned it - a great local high-end shop (Porsche, BMW's, MBZ, Ferrari's etc. etc. are always in their shop).

I am picky with my cars so we have put a lot more into the car than I am asking. Your gain, my loss!

To name a few of the items we have done (bought at 53,000 miles on car):

1. Custom 19" wheels and tires with only 2,000 miles on the them (maximum).  Continental Extreme ZR rated. A fantastic and strong tire for this powerful car.
2. Serviced all brakes with new pads, new discs in rear, and machined front discs. 
3. Rear Spoiler repair (mentioned above).
4. New rubber grommets on side mirrors (most used cars have these broken - looks horrible so we put new ones on).
5. Added a MBZ cup holder (and engineering marvel).
6. Bought complete new operating manuals and Navigation discs. Old ones were incomplete.
7. Added a second new key (two keys come with car).
8. Replaced driveshaft rubber coupling and balanced shaft.
9. A/C fully serviced - 500 miles ago.
10. Car serviced 1,500 miles ago. Next oil change service at approx. 67,000 miles.
11. All oils and fluids replaced when I bought car (brake fluid, transmission, rear differential, coolant) - about 10,000 miles ago. Not needed according to MBZ or the manual but I did it just because...
12. New water pump and serpentine belt - 500 miles ago.
13. Replaced left rear tail light (entire light fixture) as circuit board caused light diodes to "flicker" on a rare occasion.
....and many more details.

Good luck bidding and please ask questions if you need clarification.

Mercedes FWD platform to last until 2018, convertible and two-seater future uncertain

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

Mercedes-Benz seems to be expecting a lot of success from its front-wheel-drive CLA-Class. Automotive News is reporting that the sub-C-Class sedan could grow when its second generation arrives in 2018.
The current FWD platform for MB underpins the CLA, the B-Class, the GLA-Class, and the A-Class. The B-Class will arrive in North America as an EV for spring of 2014, while the production GLA crossover will arrive three to four months after that. The five-door A-Class won't be crossing The Pond. Sad faces all around.
According to AN, another model will be based on the front-drive architecture, but it won't be coming to the US market. Set to arrive next year, rumors are that it'll be a wagon version of the CLA, sort of like the ill-named five-door CLS Shooting Brake that is also a Europe-only item.

Maybach officially discontinues all models for 2013

Tue, 14 Aug 2012

The word "Maybach" has joined the long list of synonyms for the word "kaput." Mercedes-Benz released the price list for the 2013 models of its super-luxury sedans, with the price column simply stating "Discontinued" for each one of them.
The 2012 models, should there be any left for 11th-hour buyers, maintain the increased MSRPs that Daimler slapped on them late last year after it was known the brand would be terminated next year. But you might still be able to wrangle that $100,000 rebate if you ask nicely, or in Russian, or have Rick Ross ask for you.
It shouldn't be too long before we see the ultimate version of the next generation S-Class, the S600 Pullman, that will replace Maybach. Intriguingly, it's said the Pullman will be offered with every S-Class engine, even the four-cylinder diesel.

The Mansory Speranza proves that money can buy taste and good sense...

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

...Just kidding.
No one in their right mind has ever accused German tuners Mansory of being subtle. So, when our Geneva team wandered across the Mansory Speranza - A Mercedes-Benz Gelandewagen that has been denuded of its roof and spackled inside with quilted leather and red carbon fiber ­- they didn't ask a lot of existential questions. Why does the Speranza exist? Because Germans are weird sometimes, that's why.
Forget for a moment that you'll have to pay Mansory hundreds of thousands of euros (we're guessing, no pricing information has been revealed) for the privilege of converting your G-Class into something that looks like a Suzuki Samurai, and prepare to be impressed by the details. The tuning house has increased the output of the Mercedes V8 to a healthy 700 horsepower and 668 pound-feet of torque. The wheels are 24-inches, and wear almost unbelievable 305-section ultra-high performance Vresdestein tires. Carbon fiber can be found nearly everywhere one looks, including making up the housing for the spare tire. Oh, and there are leather pillows for the backseats... no word on whether they're standard or optional, but we're looking in to it.
