I'm guessing that if you are looking at this listing, you already know how fantastic these cars are, so I won't spend a whole lot of time expounding upon the virtues of this lovely wagon. I've owned this car since 2008 and used it only as an occasional driver. The time has come to pass this car along to someone who can love it the way it truly deserves!
*The Awesome!*
-Only 65,000 miles. Really. The car was owned by an elderly woman in Arizona, who passed it on to her grandson up here in the Puget Sound area. He sold it to me after having it only for a short while, out of fear of ruining his Grandma's car.
-The interior is MB Tex in the Sienna color and in immaculate condition. The seats and carpeting look brand new, and there are no interior cracks anywhere on the dash.
-The vacuum system is still strong, though a little slow.
-We've recently replaced the climate control servo, which is a frequent source of problems with this car.
-I have all the books and most of the service records (there aren't many). I also have an extra set of hubcaps that I will include. These things may or may not seem awesome to you.
-Did I mention that it only has 65,000 miles on it?
*The Average!*
-Do you like to accelerate quickly? There is no turbo on this model, so it's just not going to happen. It moves at a good clip once you're up to speed though. Slow and steady wins the race, right?
-The window controls are a little sticky. This could easily be fixed by taking off the covers and cleaning the connectors, it's just something that I've never gotten around to.
*The Awww...*
-It needs paint. The clear coat is gone and some rust is starting to set in. At this point, it's not too terrible, just around the edges of the doors and still fairly superficial. Nothing that couldn't be easily fixed when the car is being repainted.
-There is a dent in the rear hatch. It came to me like that, and never particularly bothered me because I had always intended on doing the paint and body work. It in no way affects the closure of the door and the rusting on the dent hasn't changed since I purchased the car. I've done the research and you can buy that back door for a couple hundred dollars.
-The rear hatch does not stay open on its own. I will include a handy 2x2 in the sale that is the perfect length to keep it propped open.
If you have any additional questions, or would like any additional photos, just let me know.

2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]
Fri, 15 Nov 2013The biggest misconception about the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series is that it's simply a higher-performing version of the SLS GT - a closer look, or better yet, a few hot laps on a high-speed racing circuit, reveals that is anything but the case.
Launched in the States in mid-2011, the standard SLS GT is a 583-horsepower, all-aluminum, gull-wing coupe with performance that positions it near the top of the exotic segment. While the AMG team at Mercedes-Benz could have left it alone, their experience with the SLS AMG GT3 race car said there was room for improvement, so they devised the SLS Black Series. The transformation from SLS GT to SLS Black Series is extensive, with no fewer than 17 different significant enhancements.
The engine mapping, crankshaft, connecting rods, valve-train, intake, exhaust and cooling are all modified and the engine's redline bumps up from 7,200 to 8,000 rpm, which pushes output of the hand-built 6.3-liter V8 to 622 horsepower. The power steering receives a new ratio, a coil-over AMG Adaptive Performance suspension is installed along with underbody braces, the track is widened, two-piece carbon-ceramic brakes replace iron rotors at each corner and a lightweight titanium exhaust is fitted beneath. The AMG Speedshift seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox is modified and an electronically controlled AMG rear differential lock ensures the power goes to the pavement. Last on the mechanical upgrades are new lightweight forged wheels (10x19 inches front and 12x20 inches rear) wrapped in special R-compound Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires.
Mercedes-Benz GLK coupe to get 2016 intro
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Radio chatter around the emerging small, premium crossover coupe genre has thus far been dominated by the Land Rover Evoque and the Mini Paceman. According to a report in Car, the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class (shown above) has received its invitation to the party and will spend the next three years getting ready: it's said that two-door variant of the crisply-angled CUV is coming in 2016, along with a redesign befitting its sleeker intentions.
To be based on the MRA platform - the rear-drive version of the company's three new modular platforms, it will also support the coming 2013 S-Class and could eventually get an AMG version to help it compete with segment offerings like the forthcoming Porsche Macan. Not much else is known about it beyond its name: Car says it will be called the GLC, a friendly nomenclature we remember best as a Mazda hatchback (allegedly for "Good Little Car"). Internet oldtimers may remember the Mazda GLC as the predecessor to the 323 (which in turn came before today's Mazda3). Either way, the GLC is not to be confused with the larger upcoming BMW X6 rival based on the ML-Class (reportedly called GLS) which is also said to still be in the works, or the front-drive based GLA, a model also edging toward production.
XCAR marks 20-year anniversary of Senna's passing with Mercedes 190E Cosworth
Thu, 01 May 2014While the automotive world is focusing on the twentieth anniversary of Ayrton Senna's death, there was much, much more to the legendary driver than his untimely passing at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.
XCAR has the story of a younger Senna, who, by a stroke of luck, found himself matched up against a veritable dream team of nine Formula One champions, not to mention a cadre of German touring car aces. A "probably still pissed (drunk)" James Hunt, hard-driving Niki Lauda and future champion and rival Alain Prost, were in attendance for the one-off, spec race, which was put on by Mercedes-Benz, in honor of the opening of the Nürburgring's Grand Prix circuit. And Senna was on hand with the explicit goal of besting them all.
Each driver was handed a lightly modified, but brand-new 190E 2.3-16 Cosworth, a car that can best be though of as the distant ancestor of the lovable C63 AMG. As for the race itself, well, it was sort of like an introduction of what the sport could come to expect from the Brazilian.
