Your chance to get into a well maintained and still extremely powerful 1999 Mercedes Benz E430!

I have owned this car for over 10 years and it has been great. I have made some minor modifications including installing HID headlamps as well as changing the rear tail-lights. Despite being over 14 years old, this V8 still gives me 25 mpg on the highway. The car has nearly 189k miles and has been thoroughly maintained with regular oil changes every 10k miles using only 100% synthetic oil. This car has only been fueled with premium gas. New tires were put on the car in March 2012 at 169k miles. In late 2006 this car collided with a deer which resulted in nearly $8k of repair work.

Other recent maintenance work includes:

June 2009 - I spent nearly $2,500 changing the oxygen sensor, the mass air flow sensor, the lower ball joints, the upper control arms, and valve covers amongst other work (125k miles)
December 2010 - Front coil spring mount (147k miles)
October 2011 - Front pads and rotors were replaced (162k miles)
March 2012 - Four new tires (169k miles)
April 2012 - Replaced the right upper and lower ball joints as well as the left outer tie rod
May 2012 - New battery
July 2012 - Replaced the motor mount

Since 2005 I have spent nearly $6,500 in total on the car to keep it running in top condition. It has never let me down.

Despite all the repairs and regular maintenance, this car is still over 14 years old. As such there are numerous non-critical repairs that could be made including the air conditioner (likely needs a new compressor), the front right fog, and the sunroof mechanical unit. The biggest cosmetic issue involves rust. Like many Mercedes from this age (i.e. the Chrysler merger debacle era), this car has rust issues. I have regular touched up the rust spots with paint, but a true fix would involve buffing and refinishing (reference the pictures).

This car has served me extremely well for over a decade and was my first Benz. I now hope it will serve as someone else's entry into the wonderful world of MB. This could be a car enthusiasts dream as the work that needs to be done is not major and perfect for someone who wants to roll up their sleeves. The engine is in great condition and still roars when you gun it.

This car is being sold as is with no guarantees what so ever. I have tried to take many representative photos to allow prospective buyers to best see the car and its condition. The blue book for this car is still over $4k. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions or would like to set up time to see/drive the car.

Carlsson SLK 340 Judd is winged up for hill climb glory

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Carlsson has been expertly tuning Mercedes-Benz products for more than 20 years now, but we can't say as we remember the outfit turning out anything quite so racy as this SLK 340 Judd that it has brought along to the Geneva Motor Show this year.
This SLK is meant for competition, obviously, and Carlsson has already booked the car to race in several hill climb events in the E1 category. The purpose-built racer should have a fighting chance to do well in said races, with a shape vetted in wind tunnel testing for maximum downforce, the SLK uses a carbon-fiber bodyshell to help achieve a curb weight of just about 1,720 pounds.
The featherweight SLK's name comes from its 3.4-liter V8 engine, which churns out a wicked 610 horsepower to go with its 317 pound-feet of torque. A Hewland transmission with paddle shift operation manages all of the thrust.

Boston bombers were tracked using Mercedes mbrace [w/video]

Sun, 28 Apr 2013

We now know Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the two brothers said to be behind the Boston Marathon bombings, planned to head for New York City to detonate more improvised explosive devices. As it turns out, that plan was foiled by the quick thinking of one Mercedes-Benz owner, diligent police work and the Mercedes-Benz mbrace system. When the brothers carjacked a 26-year-old Chinese entrepreneur identified only as "Danny," they didn't realize his Mercedes-Benz M-Class was equipped with the mbrace system, which can call for help in the event of an accident or track the vehicle in the event of a theft.
According to reports, the Tsarnaev brothers held Danny hostage for nearly 90 minutes while they drove around Boston forming a plan until they had to stop for fuel. When one of the brothers went inside to pay, the other put his gun down for a moment. Danny took the opportunity to unlatch his seat belt, open the door and run to another nearby gas station, where he told the owner to call the police.
When police arrived, they used the mbrace system to track the SUV after receiving Danny's permission, and it wasn't long before a shootout between police and the brothers ensued. When it was over, the eldest brother lay dead in the street. For more on the story, view the video report available below.
