2007 Mercedes Benz Sl55 Amg on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
|
Hi everyone. This is my first time selling on ebay. I am a private seller wanting to sell a very high end vehicle to a discerning class of person. I am not a dealer. I have a 2007 Mercedes Benz SL55 AMG for sale, even though deep down I do not truly want to. I am in the process of purchasing a ranch in the Texas hill country and this is a sensible next step for me. This car was built to impress both visually and physically, and it does. Garage kept its entire life, and never driven in anything but sunshine. All maintenance kept religiously at Mercedes using Mercedes parts. The condition and past upkeep of this car makes the asking price very fair. I purchased this car from the original owner, a friend of mine I've known for a while. The original price he paid was $128,000, but after he was finished buying every upgrade he could., he spent over $148,000. It has been driven rarely, only on sunny days, and has always been kept in a climate controlled garage. Although it can move, this car is truly about luxury. The ride is very smooth and the feel transferred through the steering wheel is very controlled and certain. The suspension was meant to handle, and it does so very well, without a 'sport's car trade-off' found with comparable vehicles. The interior almost seems to embrace you softly while driving but not so much to where you feel like you're in a race car. There are several modes for the transmission- normal, winter, and manual so no matter the surface, it grips the road. It features: 19" Chrome wheels, Premium Leather Seating, Sport Steering Wheel, Aluminum Interior Trim, 10-speaker audio system, Silver-face AMG instruments with red needles, Leather power bucket seats with great torso bolstering, Distronic auto-distancing cruise control so you don't have to constantly be 'coasting' with a button because of varying speeds of cars around you, Parktronic proximity warning system, and many other features too numerous to list here. The pearl white paint underscores the word luxury, but as it was designed to be, the AMG variant means it can move should you wish to. Here are just a few of the performance features: 510 horsepower at 6100 rpm, 516 pound-feet of torque with a flat curve from 2650 to 4500 rpm. It's the most potent Benz ever offered in North America and also the quickest factory Benz with 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds, 0 to 100 in 10.9, the quarter-mile in 13 seconds flat at 110 mph. Whether your goal in owning a car is by class or performance, you're covered on both fronts. You are responsible for all transportation and/or delivery charges. The vehicle is sold 'as is', with no warranty available from me, but you can buy aftermarket ones found online or elsewhere. I'm happy to field any questions you might have. Please let me know. Local interested parties in the Houston, TX. area are welcome to view it at a mutually agreed upon location (whether permitting). Just give me a call to set that up...281.413.5614. I intend to remove my license plates and registration stickers upon sale completion. Upon selecting to buy now, you will need to contact me personally within 48 hours and also make a non-refundable deposit of $500.00 in my PAYPAL account within that time frame as well. After that, remaining balance will need to be paid to me within 7 days with one of the following:
...and must clear my bank before I will release the title/vehicle. Any, 'my father is a Prince from Narutu in exile and I want to buy this car and ship to him for his birthday' scam'ers need not waste your time. Obviously, by not doing any of the above will result in reporting to Ebay and with negative feedback to help other sellers. Thank you. |

Paul di Resta returns to DTM with Mercedes
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Some drivers manage to make the transition from one form of motor racing into another, and some run into trouble. Take Paul di Resta, for example. The promising young Scottish driver dominated Formula 3 racing in Europe in 2006, then moved over to Germany's hugely competitive DTM touring car series where he finished second in 2008, third in 2009 and first in 2010. But things didn't go as smoothly for Paul - cousin to retired Indy champion Dario Franchitti - when he moved in to Formula One with the Force India team.
In three years on the grid, he failed to score a single podium finish. Little surprise, then, that Force India opted not to renew his contract for this season. Left without a ride, di Resta is now going back to DTM with longtime supporter Mercedes-Benz, testing the new C-Class touring car today in Portugal. It's good news for Mercedes, which is celebrating 120 years in motor racing this season and, with 2005 champion Gary Paffett also on board, can now count two former champions on its DTM roster.
We wouldn't count Paul out of F1 for good, though. When he won the DTM title four years ago, he was also moonlighting as Force India's test driver, and we wouldn't be surprised to see him pull similar double-duty with the Mercedes F1 team (or another Benz-powered outfit) this year before spring-boarding back into grand prix racing in the future. At 27 years old, he may not have been the youngest driver on the grid this year, but he's still got a good few years ahead of him.
AMG-powered Aston Martins still years away
Mon, 16 Sep 2013After flirting for several years, Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin have finally tied the knot. Just don't expect to see any offspring to result from the union for at least three or four years.
This according to Auto Express, which spoke with Daimler chief Dr. Dieter Zetsche at the Frankfurt Motor Show last week. AE reports that a new range of AMG-developed turbocharged V8s, transmissions and electrical components will make their way into the successors to the current V8 Vantage and DB9, but that these models are still a few years off.
Purists might balk at the thought of a Mercedes-powered Aston holding true to the brand's heritage. But while David Brown (for whom the DB range is named) may have steered clear of shoehorning in Detroit muscle into his cars, the entirety of the company's current range is powered by engines borrowing technology from Ford, and that arrangement seems to have worked well for Aston until now. And if you're still skeptical, look no further than Pagani and its AMG-sourced engines and you should have all the proof you need that the new relationship between Daimler and Aston could be a success.
Zetsche's CEO tenure extended through 2016 at Daimler
Sun, 24 Feb 2013There appear to be two takes on Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche having his contract extended for three more years, to 2016. A report in The Detroit News quotes the chairman of Daimler's supervisory board, Manfred Bischoff, talking up the stability at the top, "With today's extensions of the contracts of Dieter Zetsche and Thomas Weber, we are maintaining the important continuity at the top executive level." Bischoff also stated that that Zetsche has a plan to "further enhance Daimler's overall performance."
Over at Reuters, though, the three-year extension was seen as a lack of complete confidence in Zetsche's plans, since his contract was supposedly meant to be extended by five years. A spokesman said the board decided to extend executive contracts by only three years if the person was 60 or would turn 60 during the contract, but that was news to observers. Zetsche wants to make Mercedes-Benz the top selling luxury manufacturer globally by 2020, but has fallen to third place behind Audi and BMW. It hasn't held the top spot 2005, and investors judged it valued at half that of BMW at the end of 2012 once Daimler's truck business was subtracted.
Analysts cites the fact that Daimler stock hasn't bested its rivals but twice in twelve years, and that the company revised its profit target downward last year by nearly one billion euros, warning of stagnant earnings this year and will miss its original margin target for 2013.
