"several have asked yes it is automatic 7 speed"
I purchased this car for my home in Miami, yada yada yada my girlfriend left and I no longer have my home in Miami so I drove the car back to my Phoenix home.
This car had a rebuilt title when I purchased it. I drove it for almost 20,000 miles, even back and forth from Miami to Phoenix two times without one issue. On the road I got about 30 mpg.
When I purchased it the guy explained it was a theft recovery and there was some damage to the drivers door. Since the insurance company paid it off and there was some damage to the door it had to be titled as rebuilt. The computer was replaced because the old one was stolen so the mileage had to be listed as unknown. The rims were also replaced because they were stolen.
I took it to Mercedes of Miami for a full inspection, they said the car was perfect and the mechanic could not find any damage. The mechanic also said the milage (36,000) was accurate for the inspection. He advised for new tires and changing the brake fluid. I put new tires on about 5000 miles ago and never changed the brake fluid.
This car looks and runs great. I would have no issue driving it to anywhere in the country.
Problems with the car;
The GPS and road maps do not come up on the display.
On the left rear of the bumper there is a chip of paint knocked off from another vehicle grazing it (see pic).
On the passenger door one of my mountain bikes fell over and put a couple pressure dents. Hard to see unless you look close. I took it to a paintless det repair place and they told me $75 to fix it. But I did not have the time to leave it (see pic).
I have been straight forward and honest. I can tell you the car looks great and runs perfectly. There are no mechanical issues and you can jump in and take it anywhere.
I am listing this at a great low start price with no reserve. If you are the winning bidder you bought it. If you would like to see and drive the car I am in Mesa Arizona.
Sold As Is
Please ask if you have questions and do not bid unless you intend to finish the transaction.
Thank you for looking Paul
Please note the car needs to be washed in the pictures it is filthy it has been raining non stop in Phoenix.

France formally moves to ban Mercedes vehicles using contested refrigerant
Wed, 31 Jul 2013That didn't take long. Shortly after a French administrative court gave the French government a ten-day window to reconsider its ban on registrations of Mercedes-Benz A-, B- and CLA-Class cars using the prohibited R134a refrigerant, the government cited an EU directive to formalize banning the sale of the cars. The country's environmental ministry said that registrations "will remain forbidden in France as long as the company does not to conform to European regulations," meaning so long as they do not use the approved R1234yf refrigerant.
Daimler had won the administrative court decision by challenging France's application of a "safeguard" provision in which the EU allows a country to block sales of cars that would "seriously harm the environment." In spite of Daimler's victory, France has cited that very provision as basis for the continuation of the ban.
Daimler got permission from Germany's KBA federal motor authority to keep selling cars with the coolant banned by EU politicians, and is using that national permission as the right to sell the cars throughout Europe. Meanwhile, above that battle, German politicians are asking the EU to let Mercedes sell the cars in France while the KBA does more testing, at the same time as the EU is threatening Germany with repercussions if it doesn't bring the KBA and Daimler into line.

Mon, 19 Aug 2013LA To The Grand Canyon In The Mercedes-Benz Of RVs
Piloting an 8,500-pound motorized house down the highway is far from my idea of fun, yet inexplicably, I'm enjoying myself. My grin has nothing to do with my camper's handling, as this heavily accoutered Mercedes-Benz Sprinter drives like a 25-foot long breadbox. My smile has nothing to do with on-road stability, as the ten-foot-tall, slab-sided vehicle reacts to wind gusts like the vertical stabilizer on a Boeing jet. My delight has nothing to do with its throttle or braking response, either, as both are as numb as your forehead after the eighth beer.
This monstrosity makes me happy for one reason - my passengers are undeniably having a good time.
Mercedes-AMG considering turbo fours, hybrid sixes for future performance sedans
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Think of the letters AMG and you'll probably end up picturing a performance sedan with a big V8. Such has become, after all, the Mercedes turning division's calling card. But with the introduction of its 2.0-liter turbo four, AMG is working at turning that notion on its head.
The highly potent engine produces 355 horsepower and is presently installed in the A45 AMG hatchback, CLA45 AMG sedan and GLA45 AMG crossover, giving Benz's smallest family a full range of performance models. But that might not be the full extent of the high-strung four-pot's use.
Speaking with AMG boss Tobias Moers, Britain's What Car? magazine reports that Affalterbach is considering slotting the same engine into larger models, particularly performance sedans like the C-Class. As we recently reported, Mercedes is already preparing to up the power from the turbo V6 in the C400 to slot a C450 Sport in below the C63 AMG. The C450 is expected to offer around 367 horsepower where the CLA45 AMG et al pack 355, but the lighter weight of the four-cylinder engine would likely offset the truancy of those extra dozen horses. Of course such a prospect would be much further down the pipeline than the C450 Sport which is expected to arrive much sooner.
