To drive this dream car is to experience the strength and stamina of the handbuilt 362 horsepower. 5.4 liter V-8. The normally aspirated V-8 has the power to move scenery at an astonishing pace. The reinforced five-speed automatic features AMG's Speedshift programming. Sport and comfort modes adapt shift points and firmness to differing driving styles, or press a button for manumatic mode, and the driver can control shifts via the lever or via buttons on the back of the steering wheel. In this mode it remains more manual than most Benzes, upshifting to prevent over-revving but never downshifting at wide-open throttle.
Underneath, AMG shocks, springs, and anti-roll bars lock down the body and quicken response rates without punishing the passengers. In a nod to ride plushness, the rubber is modest: 225/45 fronts and 245/45 rears on 17-inch rims. Big 13.6-inch-front and 11.8-inch-rear brake rotors are grasped by four-piston-front and two-piston-rear monoblock calipers.
That acceleration is accompanied by a glorious baritone engine note-you know, somewhere maybe a third of the way up the scale between a bass Chevy big-block and a soprano Ferrari. The chassis behaves beautifully, too, providing good isolation from small impacts while clinging tightly to the road over dips and humps.
I took this car on a 20 mile test drive to make sure everything works with no surprises to (you) the customer. One switch(no latches) allows you to drop the top and that is exactly what I did. The top goes up and down without a glitch. The top itself is in great condition with no tears, holes, or rips. The ride with the top down is much quieter than I expected and with the heat on full blast I was able to ride in 40 degree weather quite comfortably. It's not something I would recommend on a daily basis but it sure was fun.
The tires are in great shape with many miles remaining. The stereo is Harmon Kardon with a Disc Changer. The heater and AC work as they should with dual climate controls. Both driver and passenger seats have memory settings and the drivers seat has the additional lumbar support.
Options on this car include a 6-Disc Changer and GPS Navigation. I think those two options added $3,000.00 to the sticker price.
The BAD news! I don't really have any bad news but there are a few things I would like to mention.
1. The on-board diagnostic reads a warning that the left and right low beam lights are not working when they actually are working. (See Photo) Everything on the car works as it should. I am sure this could be reset by a dealer but take comfort in knowing everything works on the car. If you choose not to fix this issue, you just have to deal with the system telling you the lights are not working.
2. You will find very, very small rock chips on the front bumper and the beginning of hood. This is normal for used cars, especially 2005 models.
3. Carfax shows a minor accident but you cannot tell when looking or driving the car.
I have to say, I could have extended my ride another 100 miles because of how much I enjoyed driving this car. This is quite simply a fantastic automobile and I would be more than happy to be the owner. I have attached the Edmunds True Market Value Prices below.

New Mercedes Unimog debuts to the cheers of little boys everywhere [w/video]
Sat, 27 Apr 2013The Mercedes Unimog, the superhero villain of the off-road world that's just waiting to make the jump to Transformer, has been completely upgraded for its new generation. There are ten models, expanding the range and getting new designations across the traditional all-terrain series and the implement-carrier series. Panoramic cabins get more visibility, multifunction steering wheels and better dash clusters, improved HVAC and a three-mode central tire inflation system. Outside, there are new items like LED headlights and daytime running lamps in the bumper, roof-mounted windshield wipers and a front-camera monitor for the implement carrier.
The new engine lineup is compliant with Euro VI, featuring four- and six-cylinder BlueEfficiency engines putting out anywhere from 156 horsepower to 354 hp. Powerplant placement has also been tweaked, the chassis members getting a revised curve to place the engine a bit further back and lower, maintaining off-road clearance and lowering the Unimog's center of gravity. The new location of the engine means the cabin has more room, and the wheelbase is shorter. Combined with a higher turning angle, the Unimog has a smaller turning radius than before.
The implement carrier gets what's called a "synergistic traveling drive," the bonus being that drivers don't need to stop in order to use an attachment - a hydrostatic transmission works with the regular manual transmission at up to 31 kilometers per hour for seamless switching.
Online Find of the Day: Lexus-engined Mercedes pickup is a vintage hybrid
Tue, 16 Sep 2014You have to love someone who gets incredibly committed to a very weird idea. What you see for sale here is a right-hand drive 1971 Mercedes-Benz 220D in South Africa, but this old Mercedes is now converted into a pickup, complete with bed cover, and there's big secret under the hood, too.
The pickup conversion appears well done based on seller Sedgefield Classic Cars' photos. Even the tonneau cover fits well. You could almost believe that this Mercedes lived its life as a Chevrolet El Camino-like pickup from the very beginning.
However, the rear-quarters conversion might not be the weirdest thing about this Mercedes. The original diesel is gone from the engine bay in favor of a Lexus V8. It seems really odd to pop the hood and find a Japanese mill in this German car, but the photos make it look like a fairly well performed swap. So, bravo to the crazy thinking. According to the seller speaking to Autoblog by email, "as far as we can establish, this was done a few years ago, with all Lexus components."
UK workers strand car on island of asphalt to keep working
Wed, 06 Feb 2013Generally speaking, when you illegally park your car, you're likely to get ticketed and towed, but there is probably at least one motorist in Scotland who wishes that was the case. After workers had blocked off a portion of the parking lot for the Edinburgh Waverley railway station, the driver of this Mercedes-Benz S-Class reportedly moved some of the barriers to park in one of the empty spots.
Rather than having the vehicle towed, the work crew simply tore up the asphalt around the leaving just the one parking spot intact, and as you can see in the image above (posted to the Twitter account of Harold Norstad), the crew even built a small asphalt ramp so the car could get off its blacktop pedestal. Since this happened last week, there's no word as to whether the car was eventually moved or towed for the resurfacing work to continue.
Let this be a warning...
