2007 Mercedes Benz Sl55 Amg on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
Hi everyone. This is my first time selling on ebay. I am a private seller wanting to sell a very high end vehicle to a discerning class of person. I am not a dealer. I have a 2007 Mercedes Benz SL55 AMG for sale, even though deep down I do not truly want to. I am in the process of purchasing a ranch in the Texas hill country and this is a sensible next step for me. This car was built to impress both visually and physically, and it does. Garage kept its entire life, and never driven in anything but sunshine. All maintenance kept religiously at Mercedes using Mercedes parts. The condition and past upkeep of this car makes the asking price very fair. I purchased this car from the original owner, a friend of mine I've known for a while. The original price he paid was $128,000, but after he was finished buying every upgrade he could., he spent over $148,000. It has been driven rarely, only on sunny days, and has always been kept in a climate controlled garage. Although it can move, this car is truly about luxury. The ride is very smooth and the feel transferred through the steering wheel is very controlled and certain. The suspension was meant to handle, and it does so very well, without a 'sport's car trade-off' found with comparable vehicles. The interior almost seems to embrace you softly while driving but not so much to where you feel like you're in a race car. There are several modes for the transmission- normal, winter, and manual so no matter the surface, it grips the road. It features: 19" Chrome wheels, Premium Leather Seating, Sport Steering Wheel, Aluminum Interior Trim, 10-speaker audio system, Silver-face AMG instruments with red needles, Leather power bucket seats with great torso bolstering, Distronic auto-distancing cruise control so you don't have to constantly be 'coasting' with a button because of varying speeds of cars around you, Parktronic proximity warning system, and many other features too numerous to list here. The pearl white paint underscores the word luxury, but as it was designed to be, the AMG variant means it can move should you wish to. Here are just a few of the performance features: 510 horsepower at 6100 rpm, 516 pound-feet of torque with a flat curve from 2650 to 4500 rpm. It's the most potent Benz ever offered in North America and also the quickest factory Benz with 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds, 0 to 100 in 10.9, the quarter-mile in 13 seconds flat at 110 mph. Whether your goal in owning a car is by class or performance, you're covered on both fronts. You are responsible for all transportation and/or delivery charges. The vehicle is sold 'as is', with no warranty available from me, but you can buy aftermarket ones found online or elsewhere. I'm happy to field any questions you might have. Please let me know. Local interested parties in the Houston, TX. area are welcome to view it at a mutually agreed upon location (whether permitting). Just give me a call to set that up...281.413.5614. I intend to remove my license plates and registration stickers upon sale completion. Upon selecting to buy now, you will need to contact me personally within 48 hours and also make a non-refundable deposit of $500.00 in my PAYPAL account within that time frame as well. After that, remaining balance will need to be paid to me within 7 days with one of the following:
...and must clear my bank before I will release the title/vehicle. Any, 'my father is a Prince from Narutu in exile and I want to buy this car and ship to him for his birthday' scam'ers need not waste your time. Obviously, by not doing any of the above will result in reporting to Ebay and with negative feedback to help other sellers. Thank you. |

Mercedes-Benz introduces new heavy security M-Class Guard model
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Mercedes-Benz has unveiled a new addition to the company's line of personal security vehicles. The M-Class Guard features bullet-proof side windows made with special laminated glazing and a polycarbonate inner layer to protect occupants from shards of glass. Mercedes says the M-Class Guard meets protection level VR4 according to the Bullet Resistant Vehicles 2009 standards, based on testing from the independent Ulm-based Ballistics Bureau, which means it can withstand .357 Magnum and .44 fire from multiple angles. It can also stand up to the DM51 hand grenade when equipped with optional floor armoring. Why skimp?
Buyers looking for protection from the world's literal slings and arrows can opt for the ML350 BlueTEC with its 258 horsepower 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine. With 457 pound-feet of torque, the oil-burner should have no trouble hustling the privileged class about. Of course, the ML500 offers a bit more punch courtesy of a 4.6-liter twin-turbo V8 with 408 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. Prices start at 105,050 euros for the diesel and 118,650 euros for the V8. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
Mercedes was set to sell version of Nissan Titan, now Infiniti might instead
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Mercedes-Benz Titan. Mercedes-Benz Frontier. Mercedes-Benz pickup truck. None of these things roll off the tongue particularly well. We'd like to think that's the reason Daimler opted to kill the idea of rebadged Titan and Frontier pickups from corporate ally Nissan. In reality, the execution before the Frankfurt Motor Show was due to more complicated issues.
Yes, Mercedes, byword for German luxury, style and quality, would have slapped a three-pointed star on a pair of Japanese pickup trucks that have failed to resonate with consumers in the world's largest truck market. That slapping of badges isn't much of an exaggeration, at least on the outside. According to the report from Road & Track, the truck's front clip would have been tweaked, but beyond that, the sheetmetal would have been unchanged. The interior would have received a more thorough going-over by the team at Mercedes, while the suspension and noise, vibration and harshness tuning would have also received significant attention.
The trucks would have ended up being sold through the light-commercial branch of Mercedes-Benz - the same folks that will happily sell you a Sprinter van - had the deal gone through. Issues arose, though, first with the engines. Mercedes wanted a wider range of powertrains to allow it to tune models for specific markets, while Nissan said it couldn't engineer the wide variety of engines that MB wanted to drop under the hood. For the smaller truck, meanwhile, MB was interested in a hybrid or plug-in variant, according to R&T, although this was also shot down by Nissan.
