I bought this car from a dealer in NJ who specialized in buying and selling to/from other dealers. He listed

this car on ebay with the claim that every once in a while he saw a car so special that he would pull it

out of the pack and sell it to the public on an individual basis.

I bought it, but now I am moving overseas to an other-side-of-the-road country and so need to sell it.

True things about it being "special":

The overall condition of the car, in and out, really is impressive for its age. I get a lot

of comments from people about its nice condition.

He claimed it was mechanically perfect, and he would drive it anywhere without hesitation. This has

proven to be true. I have driven it back and forth between NJ and VT almost every weekend since I bought

it, as well as every day around town. I also would not hesitate to drive it cross country right now.

It has a valid NJ inspection (until 5/2013) and also a valid VT inspection (until 12/2013).

It is one of the last of the tank Mercedes. It is very solid and heavy. I had originally thought about

it becoming my 17y/o daughter's , just in case of an accident.

It has lots of power, and is pretty impressive when merging, especially for its weight.

It starts first time, every time and seems to have a tight, solid drive train.

The power windows, power headrest, power seats, sunroof, cruise, power steering wheel adjust, etc. all work fine.

It is very clean underneath as well.

False things about it being "special":

There are a few things which do not work. One dashboard illumination light is out, though you can still see everything in the dark.

The abs light comes on once in a while after driving some distance. It is always off when the car starts though. The dashboard clock (old style with hands) does not work.

It has a small rust spot in the lower corner of the front left wheel-well. The paint is still on it, so it is not very noticeable, but it should be dealt with.

The leather on the side of the driver seat and the back of the armrest has wear lines and is not perfect looking like the rest of the extensive interior leather.

I don't think the climate control stays on the set temperature correctly. It seems to sometimes be warmer, and/or cooler than the temperature at which you set it.

I am not sure if the radio works.

VT does not issue titles for vehicles 1997 or newer, so I have the transferable registration which they issue in lieu that you can take to your DMV to get a title

if your state does so. I also have the NJ title to the vehicle from when I bought it which you can have. Bring cash (only), drive it home.

It's a nice one.

The car could be picked up in either NJ or VT.

New Die Hard movie wrecked 132 cars in $11 million chase scene [w/video]

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

It would seem the act of dying hard brings with it lots of wanton destruction of the four-wheeled kind. According to John Moore, director of A Good Day To Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again. Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there... That's the fun of it."
Please join us in one great big collective sigh. Done? Okay, let's continue.
"With Die Hard it's about how audacious the action is," says Moore. "So you have to drive over a Lamborghini. An actual one. And yes it hurts me. I'm a car fanatic." Yeah. Sounds like it hurt really bad... though not as bad as the final tally after all the carnage had been counted: "Someone showed me the numbers on the car chase and soup to nuts, you put it all together it was like an $11 million sequence."

Aston or Bust? Maybach's fate to be decided next month

2011 Maybach 62 - Click above for high-res image gallery
What will become of Maybach? That question has been rattling around the halls of Daimler headquarters in Stuttgart for some time now. But all questions will be answered, and answered soon: according to reports, the German automaker is currently evaluating prototypes and propositions for its top-end marque, and will make its decision next month.
So, what are the options? On the one hand, Daimler could kill the Maybach brand altogether. It was a notion ill conceived and even more poorly executed, taking an old platform and building a new flagship atop it. In that way, it was sort of like the Chrysler Crossfire, only far more costly to both the buyer and manufacturer. On the other hand, Daimler could opt for the long-time-coming proposition of contracting the production (and possibly much of the development) of a new generation of Maybachs to Aston Martin.

VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.
