Minor scrapes on the underneath of the vehicle from scraping speed bumps etc."

Selling a 2003 Mercedes SL500 230R Roadster. Seller is only the second owner and the car has 80,000. On average, car has seen 8,000 miles a year. The car is fully loaded minus Pano Roof, Distonic Cruise, and Voice Command. The vehicle has been meticulously maintained and is near perfect condition. Always garaged, always professionally detailed and professionally maintained. The suspension has three ride heights that can be selected from inside the car, the bottom setting has been reprogrammed to sit 2.5 inches lower but the mid and high ride height remain at factory settings. The only other modifications to the car are tasteful 20 inch rims with about 10,000 miles on them, smoked lights, tinted windows, and painted grills, vents and badges. The exhaust has had the rear resonators deleted, which is 100% smog legal. The exhaust is still very quiet at low rpms with a tasteful rumble at mid and upper rpm range.

The car is standard equipped with AMG, Sport, and Launch Packages. The vehicle has a stock BOSE sound system with integrated navigation and a six disc CD changer. The sound system also has speed sensitive volume adjust, 8 speakers and a subwoofer with an aux audio input. The interior is leather with wooden trim, heated/cooled/pulsating seats with 3 position memory and the driver said moves back and raises the steering wheel automatically for easy exit. For safety the car has front and side airbags, as well as a knee airbag for the driver and electronic parking sensors on both the front and back of the car. The car is also equipped with braktronic brake assist which preloads the brakes when you let off the gas quickly at high speeds. The brakes also "pulsate" in the rain to keep the braking surface dry for optimal braking. The brakes are also equipped with a electronic force distribution system that prevents brake steer under heavy breaking. At 60 mph you can put your hands on the roof and stand on the brakes, the car will not veer left or right, it will not dive, it will come to a slow and smooth stop. The suspension is electronically activated, hydraulic pneumatic actuators that assist in anti body roll (ABC). When equipped, the car will automatically adjust in turns to stiffen one side and soften the other so the car stays level in turns and the car will also automatically lower itself at speed to reduce drag. The transmission is a "learning" transition which will adjust its shift points to your driving style and it also has a "wet" and "sport" mode that has preset shift points. The car also has speed proportional power steering which stiffens as needed for optimal steering. Basically with 302 hp @ 5600 RPM and 339 ftlbs @ 2700 the car is comfortably fast and accommodates the drive in every facet. The hard top convertible is the cars finest selling point, even in the down position offering a considerable amount of trunk space.

Tastefully fast, aggressive and classy the SL series is truly a gentle mans sports car. I was fortunate enough to buy this from a gentleman who took terrific care of it, and I have followed in suit. Car has been professionally maintained and I have all receipts. All manufacturer recalls have been performed, and the car has only been worked on by Mercedes mechanics with Mercedes parts and fluids, to Mercedes specifications.

I will ship the car at buyers expense, and require a deposit within 72 hours of the close of the auction. Require pickup within ten days of the close of the auction. Will meet or deliver locally to San Diego/Los Angeles area.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class caught totally undisguised

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Based on the lightly camouflaged spy shots of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class we've seen lately, it hasn't taken a vivid imagination to picture what the next iteration of this big luxury sedan will look like. Even so, we now we have our first unobstructed views of the redesigned S-Class, codenamed W222, as it has just been caught out flaunting for some promo shots.
The first thing we notice about the new S-Class design is the disappearance of the last generation's flared wheel arches. Yet the new design adds even more character with bodyside creases similar to the CLS-Class and some elements reminiscent of 2007's F700 Concept, including the massive grille and vertical LED taillights. Other key details include a large panoramic roof and the narrow exhaust outlets, but the large LED-trimmed headlights and the aggressive front fascia are probably the biggest departure from the current design. With these spy shots, we also catch a blurry shot of the interior, but we've seen a practically uncovered look at the new S-Class' cabin back in January.
Overall, the next S-Class sports an expressive and premium new look, but as far as all-new designs go, it's quite conservative - a move no doubt fitting for these lean financial times.

Maybach lost upwards of $500k on each vehicle sold

Wed, 08 Feb 2012

Daimler is shuttering Maybach in 2013 after seven years of production. In that time, the company's ultra-ultra-luxury arm managed to sell just 3,000 units, and CAR reports Daimler lost somewhere around $500,000 on each and every one of them.
Even with a ludicrous price tag of over $370,000 for an "entry" Maybach 57, the brand couldn't quite recoup the dizzying $1.33 billion Daimler poured into it since its (re)inception. Rumors ignited over a possible tie up with Aston Martin that would have resulted in a range of new and attractive models, but Daimler has instead decided to snuff out Maybach altogether.
We can hardly blame them.

Mercedes-Benz releases stunning first images of 2014 S-Class

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

The all-new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, designated W222, is one of the most highly anticipated debuts of its model year. Every generation of the flagship sedan has broken new ground in technology and innovation for the entire industry, and the German automaker appears determined to raise the bar much further with its latest arrival as it promises to deliver "the best automobile in the world." Mercedes-Benz has just released nearly two dozen interior images of the new sedan, showing off style in design, craftsmanship in execution and pioneering advancements in technology.
Unlike all previous generations - the first S-Class officially arrived in 1972 - the 2014 model completely discards a traditional instrument cluster and replaces it with two high-resolution color displays in 8:3 format with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches (the outgoing model's gauges were a mix of digital and analog). The left unit displays traditional analog gauges (digitally, of course) while the right unit is reserved for infotainment and comfort settings with the automaker's all-new mBrace2 - a cloud-based entertainment and information delivery system that is rolling out this year.
