Mercedes Benz Gl320 Cdi Gl Diesel Mb Suv on 2040-cars
Decatur, Illinois, United States
This has been my baby, but it is time for her to go. I need a work truck and I simply can not afford a new one and this car at the same time. This car is in overall good shape, but I encourage you to come look at it and take it for a spin in person. It looks great, but it is almost 8 years old will 99K miles on it.
The car is bone stock and ready for you to jump in and look great driving it. No over sized wheels, tuners, or electrical gadgets. The front tires are a little noisy now that the tread is lower on them, and the normal window trim clear coat peeling is happening. Which is just common on these cars. I included a photo. I remember seeing one small door ding, and a very small scuff on one wheel. Nothing major I simply want to try to describe it to the best of my ability. This has the front sunroof, navigation, rear moonroof, rear seat tv's, rear climate controls, power everything, luggage rack, etc. Basically it is the bee's knees. I have done as well as 27.1 mpg on the highway, but usually look to the 23-25mpg highway range. I also average 21 with mixed driving normally. It really is hard to beat the looks, comfort, and economy of the Mercedes diesel vehicles. When buying a GL you should beware the air suspension can have issues, luckily on this one they were replaced about 30k miles ago. It has has had new seals, and some other maintenance and warranty items done to keep it in tip top shape. I do have lots of receipts to hand over to the new owner. It will be nearing an oil change soon, but I have not been driving it much. Overall this is a good vehicle with plenty of life left. I try to give as much personal opinion as I can think of about my cars. Not to make them sound bad, but to give you the confidence in bidding and knowing you are getting a solid car with no major imperfections. So please feel free to come check it out and bid with confidence. I am truly sad to even consider selling her. The Black on Black was hard to find, and I truly enjoy the GL series especially with the diesel. Feel free to ask any questions. |

Watch Schumacher's hot lap of N"urburgring in Mercedes F1 car
Fri, 31 May 2013In advance of the Nürburgring 24-hour race last weekend, Mercedes-Benz put on a demonstration that had Michael Schumacher playing catch-up in a Formula One car against four examples of AMG metal. There were four cars sent off in staggered starts before Schumacher: an A45 AMG, E63 AMG 4Matic, SLS AMG Black Series, and an SLS AMG GT3 car. "Mr. Formula One," as the German television commentators call him, left three minutes after the SLS AMG GT3.
There are two videos of Schumacher's lap, the first is on-board footage - and even though there were several GoPros on the car the POV never cuts away from the front wing. You can hear the throttle and tell he's not pushing it, you can also tell how bumpy the track is. The second video is footage from the German Sport1 channel - with commentary in German - that shows all the cars taking off and takes the aerial view of proceedings. He looks to be going a lot faster in that one. You can compare and contrast yourself with the videos below.
Oh, and it's worth noting that, even with the likely restricted car, and the made-for-TV environment, Schumi turned in a quick lap. The nose camera shows the F1 car start to slow down on the back straight, near the start/finish line, right around the modern-length track record time of six minutes and eleven seconds.
Daimler employees can set email to auto-delete during vacation
Mon, 18 Aug 2014The Internet has shrunk the world in terms of the way people communicate by making it possible to send an email from Oslo and have it show up in Cleveland almost immediately. But that instant contact has wrecked the work/life balance for many. They get home from a long day at the office, yet they can never fully put their feet up and relax because another hour or more of checking and replying to emails awaits. However, German automotive giant Daimler is putting an end to that churn, at least while its employees are on vacation.
About 100,000 Daimler employees in Germany are eligible to opt-in to a new program called Mail on Holiday, according to The Atlantic. When the workers go on vacation, they can switch it on, and the service auto-deletes all of their incoming email. "Our employees should relax on holiday and not read work-related emails," said Wilfried Porth, board member for human resources, to The Financial Times as cited by The Atlantic.
Mail on Holiday puts a thumb on the scale of work/life balance in favor of a little more free time. The system means that Daimler employees shouldn't even be tempted to check their email on vacation because there's nothing there - and it also avoids them coming back from a relaxing holiday only to find a mailbox packed full of hundreds of unread messages. These days, people are absolutely obsessed with their work, often to the detriment of their health, not to mention spending time with their families and friends. On one hand, Mail on Holiday sounds like the sort of vacation breakthrough we'd need to truly unplug and unwind, but on the other hand, it makes our skin crawl just thinking about the lack of communication.

Mercedes to roll out S65 AMG Coupe in July
Mon, 07 Apr 2014We're still a couple of weeks away from the public debut of the new Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe at the fast-approaching New York Auto Show, but already we're receiving word of an even more powerful version in the works. That, of course, would be the S65 AMG Coupe - the twelve-cylinder version of the latest S-Class Coupe, two-door counterpart to the S65 AMG sedan and replacement for the outgoing CL65 AMG.
Like the four-door version rolled out back in November, the S65 AMG Coupe would be distinguished from less powerful vehicles (which, lets face it, is just about everything) principally by its engine: a massive, 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 that produces 621 horsepower, 738 pound-feet of torque and cares as much about global warming as an oil-shipping mega-tanker.
Because Merc's 4Matic all-wheel drive system can't handle that much torque, the ne plus ultra coupe would (like the S65 sedan but unlike the S63 coupe) be offered only in rear-drive form. That means it will have that much more trouble getting the power down to the road, but since the Magic Body Control suspension is similarly incompatible with 4Matic, the flagship coupe will get that trick suspension.
