This is a beautiful Mercedes that still runs and drives like a dream! It has never been smoked in and has always been garage kept. The best part of THIS car is that you don't have to take MY word for it, IT COMES WITH A WARRANTEE! I have a bumper to bumper extended warrantee that does not expire until March 29th of 2013. So that means that if you drive it for a couple of weeks and think that you feel the transmission slipping, or the the engine not running smoothly, you just take it to the dealer and get it repaired or replaced! The warrantee costs only $25.00 to transfer into your name, and it covers the engine, trans, electrical, seals and gaskets, steering, air conditioning, timing belt, cooling systems, fuel systems, hi-tech electrical, substitute transportation, 24-hour roadside assistance, it basically covers everything except wear and tear items like tires, brakes and suspension. Well, those items that are not covered, I just replaced myself! I put new brakes on it four months ago, and the two front tires are new, the two rear are six months old, and the suspension is all brand new! These cars come with an Air-Matic suspension that makes the drive incredibly smooth, but this suspension tends to go out after about ten years or so. My car first had an air leak in the front, it is so common that Mercedes actually has a kit to repair it, it cost $1,000.00! My car also needed the compressor,and other parts, replaced in the rear and that costs around $3,000.00! I had both of the repairs made at the Mercedes dealership and have all the receipts. If you don't buy this car, make sure to ask about the Air-Matic suspension on the Mercedes you do buy, like I said, it is very common for it to start leaking air. Once the air starts leaking, the car sits so low to the ground that it is not drivable, it has to be flat bedded to the dealer for repair. I have a picture of my car on the flatbed also. I love this car and thought I would have it for at least another 80,000 miles! Unfortunately, my family has outgrown it and I hate to say it, but my Mercedes days are over and I have to embrace my minivan years. Good luck, and enjoy!

Is Audi getting complacent and suffering from brain drain?
Wed, 27 Nov 2013The argument is made in a Reuters article: Audi is falling behind other luxury brands, such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, due to a lack of research-and-development spending and "brain drain," or the migration of top executives and R&D chiefs to other parts of the Volkswagen Group. Reuters notes that Audi's current R&D chief is the third in 16 months.
Audi, which contributed to 40 percent of VW Group's $11.6 billion in profit the first nine months of the year, is delivering cars at a record pace: 1.31 million were delivered from January to October 2013 versus BMW's 1.35 million. Yet Audi, Reuters reports, doesn't have a halo car akin to BMW's new electrified i3 and i8 or an answer to Mercedes' plug-in-hybrid S-Class, and the R&D spending at Audi is less than BMW and Mercedes by a fair margin. It's noted in the article, however, that Audi benefits from other R&D spending within VW Group.
Reuters mentions that BMW "trumpets its new 'i' series" and the new Mercedes CLA and GLA ranges are winning "rave reviews" as part of its argument that Audi's recent lack of technological innovation could hurt future sales. Those cars do pack tons of new technology, some of which are firsts for mainstream production cars. But last time we checked, the i3 could be causing BMW's stock to slide, the CLA isn't receiving the rave reviews that Reuters would have you believe and the GLA hasn't been reviewed yet.
X1, 3 Series power BMW back into global luxury autos sales lead
Thu, 14 Mar 2013BMW managed to eke ahead of Audi for the global luxury sales crown in February. According to Bloomberg, BMW saw deliveries swell by 7 percent in February, besting the 3.2 percent jump enjoyed by Audi and giving BMW a 407-unit delivery lead over its rival last month. Mercedes-Benz, meanwhile, continued to falter, with the brand selling some 37,229 fewer machines than BMW, whose factories are running at full capacity to keep up with demand. Models like the X1 (shown above) enjoyed a sales increase of 40 percent in February while the company's bread-and-butter 3 Series jumped by 26 percent.
Mercedes-Benz hopes to stem its continued market share loss with the addition of the entry-level CLA sedan to its portfolio in April. The company is set to roll out an updated version of its cash-cow E-Class at the same time, and a new-generation S-Class will follow along shortly thereafter. Meanwhile, the company is increasing production to meet demand for its A and B-Class models.
Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG officially teased in mini video
Mon, 15 Jul 2013The followup to the Mercedes-Benz S550, the S63 AMG, will sport a biturbocharged V8 that will likely turn out around 550 horsepower. The new engine is probably the 5.5-liter, biturbocharged V-8 that's been popping up in everything from the ML63 to the E63 AMG. The front fascia is more aggressive, which shouldn't come as a surprise, while a meaty exhaust setup can be found out back.
We managed to pick all that up from a short, 17-second video posted by MB. The original video that unveiled the S63 AMG has since been pulled down, making this YouTube clip the best look we now have at the new super sedan, at least until the Germans give up the goods for real.
Be sure to check out the video below, along with our original posting on the S63 AMG.
