2011 Mercedes-Benz ML350 BlueTec – Mint Luxury All-Wheel Drive SUV

Absolutely Loaded, Dealer Maintained, Original Owner, 4-Wheel Drive, Garaged

You are considering an exceptionally well maintained, (dealer serviced), all-wheel drive, pristine 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML350 BlueTec Clean Diesel SUV.  This Luxury Sport Utility Vehicle is amazingly immaculate, inside and out (see photos). The vehicle has always been garaged, both at home and at work. This is my wife’s primary vehicle, mostly for a 15 mile commute to work each day. We purchased the vehicle new from the local Mercedes-Benz dealership.  My wife and I are a late -30’s couple, married, and mature. We are replacing the vehicle with a mini-van in preparation for the arrival of our three babies (yes, we are having triplets!). We hate to let the vehicle go, however it no longer meets our needs.

This is our first of many Mercedes-Benz…we are truly impressed with the fit and finish. The vehicle is well engineered and thoroughly designed down to every last detail. We purchased this vehicle brand new with most every luxury and option offered by Mercedes-Benz, including factory installed trailer hitch and running boards.  The clean diesel engine is truly incredible, with great fuel economy accompanying commanding towing power.  This ML350 is loaded:

Condition Summary:

Again, we purchased this beautiful ML-350 BlueTec brand new from the local Mercedes-Benz Dealer.  The vehicle was my wife’s primary vehicle, mostly for a 15 mile commute to work each day and now has 31,423 original miles.  The vehicle is being kept clean in our 3 car garage until sold, with less than an additional 100 – 200 miles before sale.  The Mercedes is extremely clean and shows nearly “like new” (see pictures).  There not any major or minor dents, dings, scratches or unexpected damage on this vehicle.  There are a few very, very expected insignificant imperfections in the paint here and there from open road travel and daily use, but you have to look very, very closely to identify them.

This Mercedes-Benz remains is such pristine condition because of my attention to detail.  It has always been garaged, both at home and work.  I routinely wash and wax the vehicle.  Additionally, the interior is immaculate with very infrequent rear passenger use.  We are both NON-Smokers.

More German automakers may be afoul of US emission standards

Wed, Sep 23 2015

Volkswagen has plenty of smoke to share, and that may mean fire for other German automakers that make diesel vehicles, says Automotive News. Earlier this month, European Federation for Transport and Environment said that BMW, Daimler's Mercedes-Benz and General Motor's Opel division are among other automakers that may have equipped their vehicles' diesel engines with similar software as VW's. That software was found to reduce emissions while a car is being tested for emissions and shuts down emissions-control systems during normal use. The European environmental group used data from the International Council on Clean Transportation. Automotive News notes that the European environmental group put out its own report earlier this month, before the VW scandal broke loose, but the report was pretty much overlooked. Now, VW is under fire after it was discovered that 2.0-liter diesel engines in the VW Jetta and Golf, and Audi A3, may be programmed to game the emissions system. VW sold almost a half-million diesel vehicles in the US during the past six years. Both BMW and Mercedes-Benz told Automotive News that the issue that befell VW doesn't apply to their diesel vehicles. Earlier this week, Volkswagen admitted its car ran the sneaky software, while the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has started a probe on the company. VW is setting aside more than $7 billion to pay for the alleged violations. Meanwhile, US taxpayers may have spent as much as $51 million a year to pay for subsidies related to VW's diesel vehicle sales in 2009 alone, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 priced at $48,855, AWD at $50,855

Fri, Apr 8 2016

Infiniti's most powerful production model, the new Q50 Red Sport 400, now has a starting price. You'll need at least $48,855 for the rear-drive model or $50,855 for all-wheel drive. (Both figures include the $905 destination charge.) A fully loaded, rear-drive Q50 RS400 with Direct Adaptive Steering, navigation, adaptive cruise control, a heated steering wheel, and Infiniti's entire alphabet soup of safety equipment, tops out at $57,045. (Again, add $2,000 for AWD). When it comes to rear-drive competition, the closest base price to the Q50 is the 320-hp BMW 340i. This German undercuts the Infiniti by two grand, $46,795 to $48,855. But the BMW outprices the Q50 as soon as you start selecting options. A 340i with similar equipment to a loaded Q50 Red Sport 400 costs just under $60,000. All-wheel-drive German competitors also lose out in the price war. Like with the rear-drive models, the BMW 340i xDrive undercuts the Q50 RS400 by around $2,000. Add the options, and the Infiniti becomes a better value. The other two big German rivals, the Audi S4 and Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG start at a higher price and only get more expensive. Technically the S4 starts cheaper than the Q50, but only with the standard manual transmission. Selecting the S-Tronic dual-clutch model kicks the price from $50,125 to $51,125, and going for the top-end Prestige trim will bump potential Audi owners up to $57,025. Throw on must-have S4 options, including adaptive cruise control, adaptive dampers, and a sport differential and you'll be shell out $64,425 for the Audi. The Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG is the priciest choice in this group, starting at $51,725, or roughly $900 more than a base Q50 RS400 with AWD. Options, again, are the downfall here. Building a C450 to match a loaded Infiniti will drive the Mercedes' price up to $64,315. While it occupies something of a weird space relative to these vehicles, it's also worth mentioning the Cadillac CTS VSport. It's the only car in this impromptu pricing comparo that can outgun the Q50, with its 3.6-liter, twin-turbo V6 good for 420 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. It also starts at $60,950, although that includes plenty of standard equipment. All this means that the Q50 Red Sport 400 represents a relative value. It packs more power than the Germans – 80 more than the 340i, 67 more than the S4, and 38 more than the C450 – and a more comprehensive list of options, too.

2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Edition 507 still lights our fire

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

The current Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG may be in the autumn of its years, but it's still one of our very favorite sport sedans. Ever. Yes, its paddle-shift transmission may not always follow orders, but with stupendous levels of thrust from its charismatic naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8, ebullient rear-wheel-drive dynamics and that noise, we frankly don't care that it's getting on a bit.
As a sendoff of sorts for the current generation, Mercedes-Benz has just introduced a new Edition 507 model at the Geneva Motor Show, with 507 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque - an increase of 56 horses over the standard car. Mercedes credits the substitution of low-mass internals from the SLS AMG gullwing for the power bump, a tactic shared with the AMG Development Package upgrade that has been subsumed by this Edition 507. 0-60 is quoted at 4.1 seconds and top speed at 174 mph.
The Edition 507 borrows its aluminum hood from the C63 AMG Black Series Coupe, along with spidery new 19-inch wheels in either titanium gray finish or matte black with shiny rim flanges. As seen on our gallery car above, a sports striping package is also featured, as are glossy black grille, daytime running lamps, spoiler and mirror caps.
