UNFORTUNATE DISCLAIMER PLEASE READ EVERY WORD OF THIS LISTING BEFORE CONSIDERING THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU.
AFTER 1500 POSITIVE TRANSACTIONS I JUST RECEIVED BAD FEEDBACK FROM A BUYER WHO PURCHASED A CUSTOM TRUCK FROM ME FOR A VERY LOW PRICE. IT PROBABLY WOULD COST THREE TIMES AS MUCH TO BUILD THE TRUCK. I LISTED IT WITH THE PROS AND CONS INCLUDING OVER 5K IN IMPROVEMENTS. THE BUYER STARTED CALLING ME AND DEMANDING MONEY PRIOR TO EVEN RECEIVING THE TRUCK IN HIS STATE. WHEN HE RECEIVED IT, HE MADE A OUTRIGHT CASH DEMAND FOR 1500 DOLLARS "OR ELSE". HIS LIST OF COMPLAINTS INCLUDED A MISSING SCREW IN HEADLINER, A SMALL "WHINING" NOISE IN THE TRANSMISSION IN THIRD GEAR, AND A NON WORKING TURN SIGNAL BULB. THIS AFTER HAVING ALREADY NEGOTIATED THE PRICE DOWN 1000.00 PRIOR TO BUYING IT. HE THEN TOLD ME I SHOULD HAVE LISTED THE TRUCK AS A "PROJECT" IF I KNEW THE HEADLINER BRACKET WAS MISSING ONE SCREW, AND THAT IT NEEDED A TURN SIGNAL BULB. THIS GUY TAUGHT ME A LESSON FOR FUTURE LISTINGS, AND THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION IS RESPONSIVE TO THIS PERSON. YOUTUBE VIDEO 1 http://youtu.be/5B5HmvP8b-c YOUTUBEVIDEO 2 http://youtu.be/m227Y2_uLXs YOU ARE BIDDING ON A SL 500 MERCEDES FROM THE YEAR 2003. IT HAS 74000 ORIGINAL MILES ACCORDING TO THE TITLE WHICH IS STILL MARKED "ACTUAL" MILES. I ALSO CHECKED CARFAX AND IT OF COURSE REFLECTS LESS, SINCE LAST TIME MILES WERE REGISTERED. THIS IS A ALMOST 12 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. IT HAS NOT BEEN IN MY POSSESSION FOR THOSE 12 YEARS. PLEASE SEND A RETIRED FIREMAN, OR A TRUSTED RELATIVE, OR A SCHOOL TEACHER, OR CALL INSPECT MY RIDE, (ONLINE THIRD PARTY INSPECTION COMPANY WHO WILL SEND AN INSPECTOR TO GIVE YOU A REPORT) OR COME YOUR SELF, OR ANY OTHER OPTION THAT IS AVAILABLE TO YOU TO SEE THIS VEHICLE FOR YOURSELF PRIOR TO PURCHASING IT, IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER EXPECTATION THAN A 12 YEAR OLD CAR. THIS CAR, HAS IMPERFECTIONS. IT HAS LITTLE DINGS. IT HAS MINOR SCRATCHES, OR SCRATCHES DUE TO WEAR. IT IS NOT PERFECT. IT MAY HAVE A LITTLE NOISE HERE AND THERE THAT WAS NOT PRESENT THE DAY THE FIRST OWNER PAID 80K FOR IT AND TOOK IT OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP. PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT A NEW CAR THIS IS NOT. THIS IS A NICE USED CAR. IT IS A MERCEDES BENZ IT IS NOT A TOYOTA. I RECENTLY READ SOMETHING THAT MADE A LOT OF SENSE, IF YOU CANT AFFORD TO MAINTAIN SOMETHING DONT OWN IT. PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT A $60.00 BRAKE JOB, OR A $19.00 DOLLAR OIL CHANGE ON A SL500 MERCEDES. ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU WILL IT, OR WISH IT TO BE TRUE. THE CARS INTERIOR IS IN NICE SHAPE. NOT PERFECT BUT RESPECTABLE FOR ITS AGE. IT HAS A SMALL TEAR BEHIND THE DRIVERS SEAT IN A REAR COMPARTMENT DOOR. NOT REALLY VISIBLE FROM INSIDE WITHOUT PUTTING SEAT FORWARD. DRIVERS SEAT HAS NORMAL WEAR. THERE IS A LITTLE LOSE MATERIAL ON THE BOTTOM OF DRIVERS HEADREST. DASHBOARD IS CLEAN . I DONT SEE ANY STAINS OR SCRATCHES OR TEARS ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE INTERIOR BUT YOU MAY HAVE A MORE DISCERNING EYE, SO IF YOU LIKE TO DISCUSS OVER THE PHONE I WILL DO THAT, AND THEN SEND YOU A DETAILED MESSAGE THROUGH EBAY OF EVERYTHING DISCUSSED ON THE PHONE. THE RADIO WAS DAMAGED SO I PURCHASED A FACTORY RENEWED ONE FROM A COMPANY IN EBAY. IT WORKS PERFECTLY. IT WAS INSTALLED BY THE MERCEDES SHOP IN MIAMI. 3O YRS IN BUSINESS, OWNER IS MARIO HE HAS DONE ALL WORK ON CAR AND YOU ARE WELCOME TO HIS NUMBER IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK WITH HIM.

MERCEDES CALLS THIS COLOR BLACK PEARL OPAL OR BLACK OPAL. THE TITLE ACCURATELY REFLECTS IT AS BLACK. IT LOOKS DARK BLUE TO ME, AND IN SUNLIGHT THE METAL FLAKE AND THE PEARL MAKE IT SEEM BLUE GREEN TO ME. BUT WHAT DO I KNOW. PLEASE LOOK AT PICS IN BRIGHT SUN. THE RIMS HAVE NORMAL ROAD RASH FOR THEIR AGE, AND THEY ARE AMG WHEELS. THE TIRES SEEM TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION AND APPEAR TO BE AT LIKE 70 PERCENT OF WEAR. PLEASE DO NOT HOLD ME TO IT. THEY LOOK GOOD I DID NOT TAKE A PRECISION TOOL TO MEASURE TREAD. PLEASE ASSUME YOU NEED TIRES IF THIS DESCRIPTION IS NOT SATISFACTORY. THE VEHICLE RUNS AND DRIVES WELL FOR A 74K MILE, 12 YEAR OLD CAR. IT DOES NOT DRIVE LIKE A 2014 MERCEDES. IT IS A 2003. IT HAS I AM SURE SOME VARIATIONS , AND SOME NOISES, AND SOME MECHANICAL WEAR DUE TO ITS AGE AND IT USE. THE MOTOR IS NOT BLOWN AND THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHOT. I WELCOME ALL INSPECTIONS PRIOR TO PURCHASE. PLEASE DO NOT CONSIDER THIS VEHICLE IF YOU ARE EXPECTING A "HOME RUN", I.E.....A $30,000.00 VEHICLE FOR $20,000.00 OR PLEASE DO NOT BUY IF YOU ARE ENVISIONING YOURSELF IN A MINT, SHOW CONDITION, IMMACULATE, PERFECT CAR.

2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]
Fri, 15 Nov 2013The biggest misconception about the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series is that it's simply a higher-performing version of the SLS GT - a closer look, or better yet, a few hot laps on a high-speed racing circuit, reveals that is anything but the case.
Launched in the States in mid-2011, the standard SLS GT is a 583-horsepower, all-aluminum, gull-wing coupe with performance that positions it near the top of the exotic segment. While the AMG team at Mercedes-Benz could have left it alone, their experience with the SLS AMG GT3 race car said there was room for improvement, so they devised the SLS Black Series. The transformation from SLS GT to SLS Black Series is extensive, with no fewer than 17 different significant enhancements.
The engine mapping, crankshaft, connecting rods, valve-train, intake, exhaust and cooling are all modified and the engine's redline bumps up from 7,200 to 8,000 rpm, which pushes output of the hand-built 6.3-liter V8 to 622 horsepower. The power steering receives a new ratio, a coil-over AMG Adaptive Performance suspension is installed along with underbody braces, the track is widened, two-piece carbon-ceramic brakes replace iron rotors at each corner and a lightweight titanium exhaust is fitted beneath. The AMG Speedshift seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox is modified and an electronically controlled AMG rear differential lock ensures the power goes to the pavement. Last on the mechanical upgrades are new lightweight forged wheels (10x19 inches front and 12x20 inches rear) wrapped in special R-compound Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires.
Next Mercedes-Benz GLK to get AMG variant? Not likely...
Fri, 15 Mar 2013If you think Mercedes-Benz will slap an AMG badge on anything with wheels, think again. Word has it the German manufacturer will not offer buyers a performance version of the GLK, with Tobias Moers, director of AMG vehicle development, saying that he doesn't see a market for the car. That's not to say the picture won't change in the near future, however. According to CarAdvice.com, AMG is keeping a close eye on the arrival of the Porsche Macan.
"Maybe there will be a change in the market when the Porsche [Macan] comes up," Moers said, "but right now, no."
The real hitch in the giddy-up seems to be cost. Moers says developing the machine into something worthy of an AMG would represent "a huge investment." We can't exactly argue with that. Fortunately, AMG buyers have plenty of Mercedes-Benz models to choose from.
Chris Harris and David Coulthard wring out a Mercedes Fintail at the N"urburgring
Thu, 17 Oct 2013If there's one thing we've learned from the latest video from Drive, it's that the combination of Chris Harris and David Coulthard will produce some very quotable moments. Take this exchange, for example.
DC: "We are by some way the slowest."
CH: "But we're in a class of three cars, apparently."
