2000 Mercedes-benz Sl-class R129 on 2040-cars
Snohomish, Washington, United States
If you have any questions feel free to email: avisalleap@winetasters.net .
Are you getting tired of seeing your car and plenty of other of these "ultra rare and low number" production super
cars? Tired of seeing an Instagram post of a 458 instead of it as a poster in a garage? Tired of seeing these
unicorns of hyper cars everywhere you go? Well this car is the one. It's a low number, luxurious, fast for its
time; super car. The V12 in the front, RWD, sticky tires and the roar of the soul of Germany from within this car
is an instant classic collectors piece.
For sale is a pristine 2000 Mercedes-Benz SL600. This example is sitting at 22,000 miles. You may be wondering to
yourself why the vehicle is not priced following any KBB or NADA values. The reason behind this is the 2000 SL600
is the perfect example of a future classic. The over engineering of every little thing you cannot see behind the
meters of soft touch gray leather, the real stretched and pulled metal fenders on each corner, the use of hydraulic
fluid to move everything unlike hundreds of faulty of sensors in today's cars; that set ablaze your Lamborghini
Aventador in the middle of a traffic signal.
Now if you cannot understand this reasoning I would ask you to kindly move along. This is for the purists. The real
enthusiast who are getting tired of opening any of their social media outlets and seeing a vast array of Ferrari's,
Lamborghini's, Bugatti's, Pagani's, etc. Every car show or meet on a weekend it is filled with either 458's or
Huracan's; yes these cars are a testament of where our industry is going but there is no soul of these now mass
produced and non low number cars. They have become disposable and have the same resale value of any other brand:
under-appreciated. So do yourself and everybody else a good deed and buy my 2000 SL600. Not because you cannot
afford the other supercars but you'll truly be the only one at the next cars and coffee with something nobody else
will have.

Lewis Hamilton accepts Vettel's apology, has 'utmost respect'
Thu, Jul 6 2017SPIELBERG, Austria - Triple world champion Lewis Hamilton said he still had "the utmost respect" for Formula One title rival Sebastian Vettel after accepting a public apology from the Ferrari driver on Thursday. Speaking to reporters at a crowded Austrian Grand Prix news conference, the two men addressed a "road rage" controversy that has dominated the headlines since the June 25 race in Azerbaijan. "I still have the utmost respect for him as a driver and will continue to race him hard through the rest of the season," declared Hamilton, who said at the time that Vettel had "disgraced himself" by driving into him in Baku. He said Vettel called him on the Monday after the race and then texted an apology, which he accepted. The championship leader had driven into the back of Hamilton's Mercedes while both were following the safety car in first and second places, waiting for it to return to the pits. Vettel then pulled alongside, gesticulating angrily, before banging wheels. The German, a four times world champion, later accused Hamilton of "brake-testing" him by slowing suddenly. The car's telemetry subsequently showed that was not the case and Hamilton said the accusation was one he particularly wanted correcting. Vettel was handed a 10-second stop-and-go penalty, and finished fourth. He was then summoned to a hearing in Paris last Monday where the governing body declared the matter closed. Initially reluctant to dwell on the matter, saying he did not want to "pump this up more than it is already", the Ferrari driver on Thursday repeated the written apology. "It was the wrong move to drive alongside him and hit his tyres," he said. "I don't think there was any bad intention (by Hamilton). I don't think he actually brake-tested me. I was upset and over-reacted. I am not proud of the moment." Hamilton, 14 points behind Vettel after eight races, missed out on victory in Baku after a headrest worked loose and he had to pit. He finished fifth. Before Baku, the two world champions had made much of their mutual respect and the budding "bromance" seemed to be back on. "It's nice to hear that we are able to move forward," Vettel said. "I think the respect we have for each other on and off track helps us in this regard." Reporting by Alan Baldwin Related Video:
Mercedes pickup could have Nissan DNA
Fri, Apr 3 2015Daimler and the Renault-Nissan Alliance are already close partners. Now it seems that the upcoming Mercedes-Benz midsize pickup might have a little Nissan DNA in it, too. Or maybe not, depending on how you interpret comments by Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn. "I don't want anybody to think that because they announced a pickup truck, they have to make it with us. Not at all," Ghosn said at the New York Auto Show, according to Automotive News. "They are completely free to do it by themselves, to do it with somebody else, etc., and also, or to do it with us." The Mercedes Vans division is responsible for the truck's development, and the pickup is aimed at the popular global midsize segment against vehicles like the Ford Ranger and Toyota Hilux. There's no mention of any plans for the model in North America. Instead, Mercedes wants to focus on Latin America, South Africa, Australia and Europe for a launch slated before 2020. Ghosn was quite clear there was no decision either way as of yet. "Is this something that can eventually be on the table? I told you, everything is on the table between us," he said, according to Automotive News. If the two companies do decide to collaborate on a midsize truck, the timing would seem perfect. Nissan completed development of its NP300 Navara in 2014, and the automaker has been at work at least evaluating powertrains for the next Frontier possibly for 2019. Related Video:
2017 Mercedes-AMG C63 is about to get official [UPDATE]
Wed, Aug 19 2015UPDATE: As predicted, Mercedes followed up with official information and a full set of images of the C63. Click through to read the lot of it. Let's not kid ourselves; we already know what the 2017 Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe looks like. The company has been dropping teasers like they're hot, in video and photo form. We caught a spied glance of the whole car very recently, too. And we saw the base C-Class Coupe in all of its official glory just last week. Still, Mercedes knows that the new C63 is likely to be a hot topic with the enthusiast crowd (that's you and me, Bub), so it's dropping as many breadcrumbs as it can between now and the fully fleshed out information. This afternoon that means this first official image of the car: a double-fantasy of German speed in stirring red and striking silver. Big 14-spoke wheels ground each corner of this flowing coupe shape, with air-gulping intakes, a pointillistic metallic grille, and LED-strip headlights dominating the front end. Mercedes has promised us that more information about its performance-focused C-Class is upcoming. We're going to update this very post with that knowledge just as soon as we have it, so stay tuned.
