I challenge you to find another car of this age, in this condition, with 18,179 ORIGINAL miles on it! I bought this fantastic car for fun just under 4 years ago, and have put less than 1,000 miles on it. As a small business owner, my schedule just hasn't allowed the time to cruise around for fun. I am only the 3rd owner of this car, with the 2nd owner simply facilitating the sale from the dealership to which the car was traded by the original owner years ago. The car was parked at an auxiliary lot and forgotten, found only when the dealership went out of business. This is the proverbial "barn find"...parked and forgotten. The registration records bear this out, as do the items that have been replaced due to the car just sitting idle...new radiator, new fuel lines, new tires, new O2 sensor, new blue-tooth compatible radio, and new battery, plus I have had the wheels professionally refinished.

Adding to the value of this great car, is the fact that it has the original windshield with the original Mercedes Benz stickers on the lower corners, plus the original price sticker and all service manuals and brochures included with the original delivery. It also has the original first aid kit and top-changing tool with it.

This car is a solid "10-footer", with far less exterior wear than one would expect on a car of this age. There is a small tear in the leather on the passenger seat, a small tear in the original soft top, and crack in the leather dashboard. But none of these cosmetic flaws compares to the fact that this car has only 18,179 ORIGINAL miles on it. Flaws can be fixed, but these original miles are going to be hard to find elsewhere!

The car is tagged to drive, has tremendous pick-up, and a very smooth ride. I am happy to assist with making shipping arrangements through our local UPS Store, if you desire. I have set a low reserve price, compared to the NADA values for this car (see picture). Please feel free to email me with any questions, but please ask your questions before before bidding, not after the auction ends. Thanks!

13-year-old boy swipes dad's Mercedes, drives across Europe

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

After an argument with his adoptive parents that resulted in them taking away his mobile phone, an angry 13-year-old boy ran away from his home in Italy and headed straight to Poland to meet his biological sister. But instead of taking the train or hitching a ride, like most on the run, the young man (an accomplished go-kart racer and car enthusiast) grabbed the keys to his father's Mercedes-Benz and jumped behind the wheel for an impromptu road trip.
With less than 200 euros (about $270) in his wallet and a passport in his pocket, the youngster managed to put more than 500 miles between himself and his distraught parents, crossing two international borders in the process, before German police nabbed him just shy of the Polish border. According to reports, the vehicle was tracked - it wasn't his driving that alerted authorities to his location.
Reunited with his mother and father, who traveled to Germany to retrieve both their son and the vehicle, the young man apologized and acknowledged his error. As a result of his actions, social workers will increase checks on the family and we can be sure his parents are now hiding the keys.

Mercedes Makes A Mighty Little Sedan
We got overexcited when the W203 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan came out in 2001, calling it the "Baby Benz" when it really wasn't. We knew that, too, but our enthusiasm for a model more like the old 190 of the '80s was so strong that we were willing to stretch the first-gen C-Class to fit that mold. Today, the C-Class has done what all German premium cars do: grown in size. In this case, grown to satisfy the market intentions of the previous E-Class.
There was the tall A-Class sold from 1998 through 2010, but we never considered that a serious small Benz in the proper spirit, nor was it ever offered in the US. Regardless, we've been craving a smaller, premium, sexy sedan all the while.

Mercedes Concept GLA45 AMG is ready to run

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

This is the Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA45 AMG, and what we mean by that is, "This is the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG." Mercedes has just unveiled the liveried 'concept' at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, giving potential customers a very good look at the newest lunatic in the AMG asylum - a 355-horsepower, 332-pound-foot crossover that uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in the CLA45 AMG and Europe's A45 AMG.
Joined with a seven-speed, AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission and an AMG Performance 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, Mercedes promises a sub-five-second run to 60 miles per hour. That's not just quick for a crossover, that's quick full stop.
That sleek, lifted body has also been tweaked by the minds at AMG's Affalterbach facility. A new rear spoiler, side sills and front clip are the primary aerodynamic tweaks. Aesthetically, AMG has fitted the requisite "Turbo" badges, gloss-black accents (including exhaust tips and roof rails) and a set of 21-inch, AMG-spec alloy wheels to round out the overall package. Based on the spy shots we've seen, expect slightly toned down aerodynamics when the GLA45 AMG arrives in showrooms.
