We are pleased to present this absolutely unbelievably GORGEOUS Mercedes-Benz R500 4Matic. These cars are quite special for many reasons, and are becoming increasingly difficult to find. On top of that, it has had the same owner since it was brand new, making it a Carfax Certified One Owner Vehicle! This owner purchased it brand new, and traded it back into the very same Mercedes dealership when they were ready to move on to a new Mercedes-Benz. The R Class is very rare in the USA in general, and the R500 is especially rare. I believe they only made it for two years, and they provide quite a bit more performance, as well as significantly better reliability than the R350. The R500 uses the proven Twin-Spark V8 engine that Mercedes has been making for quite some time, rather than the very new at the time 3.5 V6 which did have timing chain issues in the first few years of production. In fact, my father drives an R350, and had to have the engine rebuilt at about 100,000 miles. There are no such worries with the R500. Also, with over 300 horsepower, the R500 certain has quite a bit more power for spirited acceleration, as well as towing if you should desire. The R500s are very rarely seen on the road because their original price topped $80,000 with options. In fact, at the time of listing, this is the ONLY R500 on ebay.

The interior of the R500 is in incredibly good condition. It has Gray heated seats with beautiful walnut accents on the dash and door panels. The wood accents are trimmed with chrome strips for an added touch of elegance, which you won't find in the R350.The car has the Harman/Kardon LOGIC-7 audio system upgrade which sounds excellent and features more speakers than you can count, including a large subwoofer under the floor in the cargo area. It also has digital signal processing which allows the sound system to mimic the acoustics of various venus, and to taylor the audio for virtually any position in the car. There are also connections for headphones in the rear with individual controls which allow rear seat passengers to listen to a different source of audio. The car also has Sirius Radio. It also has a fully power panoramic moonroof which functions perfectly. Even the fabric sun shade operates with a switch. The previous owner of this car was definitely a non-smoker. The cigarette lighter hasn't even been used, and there is no odor at all.There is a cup holder that accommodates two beverages in the center console. This Mercedes has dual front airbags, as well as front side airbags positioned in the front and rear doors. There are also side curtain airbags for the front and rear passengers including the third row. Both front seats are, of course, fully power with controls on the sides of the seats. As you can see in the pics, there is some cracking starting on the lower outer section of the material on the drivers seat. This R Class also has the very, VERY rare multicontour seats. This is the only R Class that I've seen with them. They allow you to completely taylor the front seats to suit the ergonomics of your body. There are several air bladders within the seats which can be inflated and deflated to change the shape of the seat in any way you prefer. The controls are located on the front of the seat near the center console. The steering wheel is finished in matching wood which is also a fairly rare option. This R500 has the optional 6 Disc CD Changer in the glove box. There is also a single CD player hidden behind the navigation screen, as well as the DVD drive for the navigation system. It also has a very nice DVD-based navigation system which works well. On top of all of this, it has the keyless access and start system. You never have to remove the key from your pocket. When you walk up to the car and put your hand on the door handle, the doors automatically unlock as if by magic. When you get in the car, you simply press the engine start button, and the engine springs to life! The system does have a manual backup in case of emergency. The car has four zone climate control as well as fully electronic climate control for the rear passengers. Both the front and second row of seats are heated as well. The third row is incredibly easy to access by folding the middle seats out of the way by pulling one lever. Both rear rows of seats fold down to create a huge cargo area if necessary. And, last, but not least, the car has front and rear parking sensors with both audio and visual indication. There is a series of LEDs on the dash which indicate the local and proximity of objects in front of the car, and the display for the rear of the car is located on the ceiling above the third row seat and can be seen through the rear view mirror.

The exterior of this R500 is in incredible condition, and is Pewter Silver in color. It really makes the car stand out, and the condition of the paint is absolutely gorgeous. This car could EASILY pass for a car with 50k miles on it. Its condition is incredible! It has the 18"  wheels which are in nearly perfect condition. These particular wheels were exclusive to the V8 models, I believe. There is ABSOLUTELY NO RUST on the body of this car. This car was very well cared for by its owner, and it really shows. This car also spent its entire life in Maryland where there is virtually no winter, so rust would obviously not be an issue. Please note that in the pictures, there is a dent on the right rear door just in front of the door handle. There is also a very small chrome strip missing from the belt trim on the opposite rear door.
               
The tires are all matching and in great condition. They have plenty of tread left. The brakes are in  good shape and the car stops as it should. This R500 drives just like you'd expect a Mercedes to drive. It's very smooth, while still handling well. The engine and transmission operate properly. The full AirMatic system operates perfectly and does not lose pressure or lean ever. The full AirMatic system on these is a fairly rare option and allows you to control the ride height of the car, and it provides an excellent ride quality while giving extellent handling. It also has electronically controlled dampers which feature a sport mode as well as a comfort mode so that you can control the road feel. This is also quite rare for any R Class. This car was a trade-in at the Mercedes dealership. We purchased it from them to offer for sale to our ebay friends. This car is an incredible find, and is something that you would be delighted to own. The car was traded in on a new Mercedes.

      

This car includes a 3 Month 3000 Mile powertrain warranty at no additional charge. The warranty can be used at any repair shop in the United States, no matter where you live. This warranty covers the engine, transmission, and drivetrain. This is in place in order to provide peace of mind when purchasing a car via the internet. Additionally, this warranty can be adjusted to cover nearly every component on the car, and can be extended up to four years and unlimited mileage. Contact us for details on this affordable upgrade in coverage.

In many cases, it is more efficient and economical to have your car shipped to your home or office. There are various options. We have a shipping broker with whom we work that is one of the best in the business, and takes care of every aspect of the shipping process. Additionally, if you're looking for a more economical option, you can get a quote at www.uship.com. If you'd prefer to pick up your new car in person, we offer complimentary shuttle service from the Erie International Airport (ERI), as well as the Erie Pennsylvania Amtrak, Greyhound, and Megabus stations.

Purchasing a car online can definitely allow you, our customer, to get a fantastic deal on exactly the car for which you've been looking. This method is one of the best thigns to happen in the history of the used car business, because you are no longer limited to the small selection of cars offered by your local car dealerships. With affordable shipping to anywhere in the world, it is now easier than ever to find exactly the car you want at a price you like.

Since you're bidding, or making an offer, on a car which you may have not seen in person, it is important that a level of trust be established between you, our customer, and us, the dealership. This is why we post between 30 and 60 high-resolution images of every car we sell on ebay. We pride ourselves in having the most detailed, highest resolution images on ebay, and we use the finest photography equipment in order to catch even the smallest details of the cars that we sell. In addition, the description above provides a comprehensive walk-around of the car including the interior, exterior, and mechanical systems. We even will fill you in on any previous maintenance that we've performed. Regardless, all cars that we sell have been thoroughly checked for safety by our in-house master technician. In addition, we road-test every car we sell very extensively before offering it. If there are any issues with the car that are present, they will be mentioned in the auction. Because we road test the cars extensively, it is possible that the car may have more miles on it than when the auction was listed. We always encourage you to come check out the car in person before bidding or making an offer. If you are too far away to do this, there are several inspection services that can review the car, or we can take the car to a local garage of your choice for a pre-purchase inspection.
         
Please note that a $250 deposit within 24 hours of the end of the auction.  This deposit can be made by contacting us directly and can be paid by credit or debit card over the phone. This allows us to speak with you person-to-person which allows us to fill you in on the process and fine details of the transaction, as well as lets you know that we are real people who are committed to making the process of purchasing your new car as easy and painless as possible. Buying a car should be fun and exciting, not a chore. The balance is due within 7 days via Certified Check, Money Order, or bank wire transfer.  We can also accept credit cards and personal checks for full payment with prior authorization. Simply contact us before bidding or making your offer to let us know that you plan on paying with one of these methods so that we can let you know about additional terms that apply.

Non-paying buyers will be reported to ebay.  We charge a $255 dealer services fee for all transactions. This fee covers any           additional paperwork service, overnighting of paperwork, and dealer prep.  We can provide a temporary cardboard plate for out of state customers at no charge. Pennsylvania residents will need to pay sales tax between 6% and 7% depending upon your county of residence. There are also Pennsylvania fees for the registration, title, and license plate (unless you bring your own plate to transfer).
         
Inexpensive used cars are not at all the same as a brand new car, or certified pre-owned vehicle.  They are in no way flawless, or perfect. As noted above, we try our absolute best to disclose any issues which may be present on the car, however a car's condition is somewhat subjective and opinion based. Where door ding may be considered perfectly acceptable on a 10 year old car, it would never be acceptible on a car which is brand new.  Also, on higher-mileage used cars, it is important to remember that virtually any mechanical or non-mechanical component can fail at any time.  We cannot predict what components will fail in the future, or when they will fail.  This is simply the nature of older higher mileage used vehicles.  The best that we can do is assure that the car is operating properly at the time of purchase. This car is sold as-is, and we cannot be held responsible for any mechanical or non-mechanical failure.  Additionally, because we do not know the inspection requirements of other states, we cannot guarantee that this vehicle will pass any out-of-state inspections.

New Forza 6 car pack adds 1,000 hp German race truck

Tue, Jul 12 2016

Today, Forza Motorsport 6 continues its pattern of monthly updates with seven new cars in the Turn 10 Select Car Pack. The diverse group of cars spans nearly 60 years of motoring history with a combination three street and four track cars from Germany, Italy, the UK, and the UK. Turn 10 Studios will also release an update that brings back Monza, Catalunya, and the Circuit of the Americas tracks. The seven vehicles in the pack are the 1957 BMW Isetta 300 Export, the 1969 Ford Brawner Hawk III, the 1980 Fiat 124 Sport Spider, the 2014 Jaguar #14 Emil Frey GT3 Jaguar XK, the 2014 Chevrolet #4 ROAL Motorsport RML Cruze TC1 WTCC, the 2015 Mercedes-Benz #24 Tankpool24 Racing Truck, and the 2015 McLaren 570S Coupe. The BMW, Fiat, and McLaren all represent iconic vehicles for their respective brands. While the BMW may not be fast and the McLaren is the baby of the brand, their importance can't be overstated. It also can't be a coincidence that Fiat is releasing an all-new 124 Spider, now based on the Mazda MX-5 Miata, just as Forza is adding in a version of the original. The racecars share a similar iconic nature. The Ford Brawner Hawk III won the 1969 Indianapolis 500 with Mario Andretti at the wheel. The team behind the GT3 XK has ties with Jaguar going back decades. The Chevrolet Cruze is one of the most successful cars in the history of the World Touring Car Championship. Finally, the Mercedes-Benz racing truck was added because the developers saw them in real life and thought racing these big trucks would be cool. The car pack is available to for $7 total, or players can purchase each car individually. Related video: Related Gallery Forza 6 Car Pack Toys/Games BMW Fiat Mercedes-Benz forza car pack

Cars with the worst resale value in 2022

Thu, Nov 10 2022

Car values are all over the map right now. Used vehicles that were worth a small fortune earlier this year are now coming back to Earth, but the new vehicle supply remains tight. Prices are still elevated overall, but some models have seen more severe price drops. Depreciation strikes almost every model, supply constraint or not, though a few vehicles are leading the way. New research from analytics iSeeCars found that a handful of cars depreciated more than 50 percent over five years, with the BMW 7 Series dropping 56.9 percent and an average price cut of $61,923 over that time. The vehicles with the highest depreciation — or worst resale value — over five years: BMW 7 Series: -56.9% Maserati Ghibli: -56.3% Jaguar XF: -54% Infiniti QX80: -52.6% Cadillac Escalade ESV: 52.3% Mercedes-Benz S-Class: 51.9% Lincoln Navigator: -51.9% Audi A6: -51.5% Volvo S90: -51.4% Ford Expedition: -50.7% iSeeCarsÂ’ research showed that midsize trucks, sports cars, and fuel-efficient vehicles were slowest to depreciate over five years, while itÂ’s clear that luxury brands tend to lose value much faster. As iSeeCarsÂ’ Executive Analyst Karl Brauer explained, used buyers donÂ’t value high-end vehiclesÂ’ features as much as the first owners, so resale values tend to be softer. The tech and options that made the cars so expensive and appealing new donÂ’t add the same value on the used market. Read more: Cars with the best resale value Interestingly, electric vehicles also depreciated quite heavily, though they were just short of the abysmal numbers in luxury segments. The Nissan Leaf depreciated most among EVs, dropping by 49.1 percent. The average EV depreciation is 44.2 percent, with the Tesla Model S and Model X sliding in right under the bar at 43.7 and 38.8 percent, respectively. As iSeeCars notes, itÂ’s important to be vigilant when car shopping and not let your emotions win over reason. Shiny new luxury cars look great in the showroom, but you could end up taking a bath when you try selling them a few years later on.

Weekly Recap: Ferrari looks to reclaim old success with new manager

Sat, Nov 29 2014

Clearly, Ferrari doesn't race for fourth place, and this week, major changes continued at the Scuderia. It was a rough year for Ferrari, and the Scuderia conducted its season-ending tests in Abu Dhabi this week with a view toward a fresh start in 2015 with new leaders and a new ace driver. Though plenty of other Formula One teams were disappointed with their finishes in 2014, Ferrari was perhaps the most eager to put this season in its rear-view mirror. The Scuderia finished a distant fourth in the Constructors standings with 216 points, well behind No. 1 Mercedes (701 points), and Ferrari failed to win a single race as the Silver Arrows dominated the grid. It was an especially bitter pill for a team that claims 16 Constructors championships and 15 Drivers titles – the most in history – and is the only surviving team from F1's first season, 1950. Clearly, Ferrari doesn't race for fourth place, and this week, major changes continued at the Scuderia. Ferrari named Philip Morris executive Maurizio Arrivabene as team principal. He replaced Marco Mattiacci, who held the job for only seven months after taking over for Stefano Domenicali, who resigned in April amid the Scuderia's early-season struggles. Phillip Morris (through its Marlboro brand) is a key Ferrari sponsor, and that played a role in Arrivabene's ascension. Still, he's no stranger to F1, and has been intimately involved in the Ferrari-Marlboro partnership. He also has served as the sponsors' representative on the FIA's F1 Commission since 2010. In a statement, new Ferrari chairman Sergio Marchionne said: "We decided to appoint Maurizio Arrivabene because, at this historic moment in time for the Scuderia and for Formula One, we need a person with a thorough understanding not just of Ferrari, but also of the governance mechanisms and requirements of the sport." Arrivabene's background is primarily in marketing and communication, and most recently he held the title of vice president of consumer channel strategy and event marketing for Philip Morris. He has been with the company since 1997. Arrivabene now leads a team that's rife with change. Marchionne took over in October when longtime boss Luca di Montezemolo quit in a disagreement about Ferrari's future, and the company itself will be spun off from parent Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in 2015.
