For Sale No Reserve

This car Runs but does not Drive.  It is in what they call limp mode.  I am going to do my best at  giving a little history on the vehicle. My husband bought this car for me a little over a year ago. The car ran and drove beautifully.  Everything worked properly with no issues.   In July of 2013 the car was in my place of business parking lot parked when someone backed into the drivers side front door. Fortunately the young lady  whose son backed into the car brought it to my attention and shared her insurance information to have the car repaired. She was insured with Geico insurance and I selected a Geico partnered collision center to have the car repaired.  My husband personally took the vehicle to the collision center to be repaired. It took roughly one week before we were contacted that the vehicle was ready to be picked up.  My husband went to pick the car. Upon leaving the facility the car would not change out of 1st gear. It would only drive about 30 miles per hour.  My husband turned the vehicle around and took it back to the collision facility. He discussed the matter with the Geico and they informed us that they would look into the matter. Geico also informed us that upon diagnostic of the vehicle, if the problem was not related to the accident they would not cover it. We were not happy about this. My husband drove the vehicle up to the facility and expected to be able to leave the collision center driving the car.  Geico offered to have the car taken to a facility and diagnosed. We had the vehicle checked out and it was discovered that water had messed up the computers on the car.  The water had gotten to the computers because the when the windshield was removed a piece that was there to deflect the water was not properly replaced. Because it was not replaced properly water filled up in the area were the computers to the car was located. This malfunctioned the car and caused it to go into limp mode. We had for a few months been back and forth with Geico but they would not repair the car. It was terribly disappointing because for the whole time of going back and forth with them they paid over $2700 for our rental car. The Car could have been repaired for under $1500. We finally were tired of going back and forth with Geico and gave in.  My husband decided to just sell the car. Even though he felt like Geico should have covered repairing the vehicle because of neglect, he do not like the idea that water on the computer caused a vehicle to stop being able to be driven. I have included in this listing pictures of the car, Geico repair information, Geico Warranty, Car rental payment by Geico and diagnostic information from Repair Shop.  This will be included with the sell of the car and can be used to reference what the car needs. I hope I am clear in this information but if there are any questions please feel free to contact me.

Description

The Vehicle is Black with Gray leather interior.  The Exterior is in good condition with a few scratches, blemishes, dings and over spray from the collision center. I did complain to Geico about this and they told me to bring it back after I had it repaired, it was under  warranty with them. I just dropped the idea all together thinking they would do something purposely to mess the vehicle up again. I have included in the pictures close ups of cosmetic issues around the vehicle. The Interior is Gray leather. All the interior but the drivers seat is in good condition. The front seat was like this when my husband purchased it. The car is equipped with keyless entry, Navigation system ( needs Cd that is recorded with regions in US to work properly), Hidden Cassette Player, Cd Changer, Premium sound system, Power windows all working properly, power sunroof which is working properly, Telescopic wheel, Michelin tires all in good condition, Power door locks, power seats, Power brakes, Message center, dual climate control, knock down rear head rest, Rear defrogger, Intermittent wipers, console storage, wood grain, Alloy Wheels,  and black out tail lights. Hope I named everything but if any questions please feel free to contact me. I have included quite a few pictures to give you a good idea of the cosmetics of the car. Remember, if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

State Taxes

Please note that if the vehicle is purchased by a  bidder who lives in Georgia I will have to add the Title Ad Valorem Tax to the final winning bid that  will be paid to the state. If the Winning bidder is from out of State, you will be responsible for paying your taxes as necessary for the state that you are in.  

Payment

A Deposit of $500 must be paid within 24 hours. The remaining balance must be paid for within 3 days. I prefer payment through paypal but will accept the balance cash in person. However if paying balance cash in person it must be done within 3 days.

Storage

I don't mind keeping the car until arrangements can be made to pick it up or have it transported.  However, Time is of the essence and I will not be responsible if left beyond an unreasonably period of time I think 2 weeks if within reason if you need more time, please contact me and we will work it out.

Buyer Please note This Car is Sold AS IS and No Warranty.  


Thanks and Good Luck Bidding

Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

A little over two months ago came reports that Daimler and Aston Martin were in talks, again, about "supply and technical-cooperation agreements." The next step has been taken with Aston Martin announcing that it has signed a Letter of Intent that looks "towards a technical partnership" with Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and the two companies aiming to have definitive agreements done by year's end.
While it will get to use certain electric and electronic components from AMG, the true golden egg for the maker of the Vanquish will be the ability to develop a new line of "bespoke V8 powertrains" that will be fitted to "a new generation of models." In return for opening up the larder, Daimler will get a non-voting stake of up to five percent of Aston Martin.
Nothing else is being said about the tie-up for the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more details.

Mercedes-Benz killing Maybach in 2013, replacing with S600 Pullman

Fri, 25 Nov 2011

According to an unnamed Mercedes-Benz source speaking with AutoWeek, the German automaker is killing off its Maybach line in 2013.
The unsurprising news comes after the brand was resurrected in 2002, but failed to meet sales expectations with its two core models, the Maybach 57 and 62. Further solidifying its fate, a deal with Aston Martin to aid in the development of future Maybachs fell through earlier this year.
According to the AutoWeek insider, the plan is to continue to sell both Maybach models through the end of 2013, after which the fifth-generation S-Class will go on sale. When that happens, three new variants of the S-Class will be available, including an all-new, range-topping S600 that brings back the Pullman moniker and may be better suited to competing with the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce.

Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG shows up to fight the hottest hatches [w/videos]

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Fun coincidence. On the same day that Audi announces the unveiling of its new S3 Sportback at the Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz steals the spotlight by confirming that the all-new A45 AMG will also receive its official debut early next month. Starting life as the entry-level A-Class hatchback, the A45 AMG gets the full AMG treatment, which includes numerous performance, handling and styling upgrades.
Under the hood sits an AMG-tuned 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 breathing through a sport exhaust system helping the five-door produce 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired to a seven-speed AMG dual-clutch transmission and power is sent to the ground using 4Matic all-wheel drive. Mercedes-Benz says that the A45 AMG will be able to accelerate from 0-60 miles per hour in under 4.5 seconds and it will have a top speed of 155 mph; in the land of hot hatches, it doesn't get much hotter than that. For added performance and handling, AMG has retuned the A-Class' suspension and steering systems and equipped The A45 with a three-stage stability control system that is specific to this car.
Surprisingly, the exterior styling of the A-Class was already sporty enough that the new model doesn't receive too many changes to become the A45 AMG. The biggest alterations include black accents to the chin spoiler, rocker panels and mirror caps, black wheels with red-painted brake calipers and rectangular dual exhaust outlets. Inside, it doesn't take a trained eye to spot the differences. The flat-bottomed sport steering wheel and the numerous red accents throughout the cabin (including the seatbelts!) really help to make this AMG interior stand out; front passengers will also get sport bucket seats that appear to be more than supportive enough for even the most spirited driving conditions.
