This car was originally to by RBM Atlanta to a Thomas D'Alessio. He sold it to the father of the man I purchased it from. He was a Mercedes mechanic and the car passed to his son when he died. The car was meticulously maintained from new with every oil change record noted in the maintenance book. Every page of the service book is complete. In addition there are detailed service and repair records from new to the current date. When the so had the car he embarked on a complete maintenance and restoration project that generally started in 2005 and was mostly completed by 2009. There are volumes of receipts and notes from the work he did on the car. He did the restoration as a tribute to his dad and his license plate read, "FORMYDAD".
The car was stripped to bare metal and re-painted in it's original "Light Ivory". This is a very high quality paint job, probably it would cost as much as the car to have it prepped and painted to this level. There are no dings or scratches. New cad plated hardware was used for door latch, hood and trunk latch pieces. All rubber parts on the car were replaced. All anodized trim was replaced. Glass is very nice. There are a few scratches on the front and rear bumpers. They appear original.
The interior is original except for new carpet and refinished wood trim. There are several cracks in the leather seats and in the dash. Headliner is without tears. Overall, the interior is very clean and matches the quality of the exterior. Everything works as far as switches, gauges, etc. in the interior.
The trunk is very clean with new rubber mats, and it includes the original, unused spare, full tool roll and jack.
He re-built the engine and transmission in August 2005 at about 210,000 miles. Currently it has about 226,075 miles. Under the hood, much was replaced, including new PAC automatic climate control system, new steering box, new a/c components, re-built injection pump, re-built vacuum system, and more. The engine compartment is also detailed.
Under the car, all wheel calipers were replaced, new exhaust system fitted, new cv axles, new sub frame mounts, re-balanced drive shaft, new shocks, torsion bar bushings, differential mounts, park brake cable, rear coil springs and mounts and more.
From 2005 to 2013 many more maintenance items were recorded in the books. Recently one o-ring was replaced at the injector pump and the a/c system serviced.
Underside the car is very clean, with no sign of rust.
The car presents very well, drives smoothly, and is probably as reliable as an older Mercedes can get.

Next Mercedes S-Class stretching into this 600 Pullman limo
Fri, 15 Mar 2013To the concern of nobody in particular, Mercedes-Benz will not be re-upping its Maybach line of ultra-luxury limousines. No, instead the German automaker will be stretching its already roomy S-Class, to make this upcoming 600 Pullman version of the decked-out beast.
The car in our new gallery of spy shots is sporting beefy B-pillars and a massive set of rear doors that should allow perfectly graceful ingress and egress from what is likely to be a palatial rear space. (In one photo we can even see a long-wheelbase S-Class in line with the new Pullman, handily exhibiting the size of the new variant.) The exterior modifications are otherwise obscured, though we can guess at revised front and rear fascia and lighting elements, based on both end being heavily taped for these test runs.
It's a good bet that the Pullman will make use of M-B's twin-turbocharged V12 engine, though sources indicate that a hybrid version might eventually be in the offing, as well.
2016 Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG Sport is not too hot, not too cold
Mon, Jan 12 2015Mercedes-Benz is moving to a new system for performance models, launching its AMG Sport line that will slot above the standard cars, but below the full-fledged Mercedes-AMG offerings. The perfect example of how this all looks can be seen with the C-Class – we've already driven (and enjoyed) the standard C300 and C400 offerings, and we're absolutely geeked to test the Mercedes-AMG C63. Slotting in the middle, though, is this new C450 AMG Sport, which makes its debut at the Detroit Auto Show this week. Power comes from the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 found in the C400, but output is increased to 362 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque – up from 329 and 354, respectively. That's all shuffled through the company's 7G-Tronic seven-speed automatic transmission, and sent to the road via 4Matic all-wheel drive. Hitting 60 miles per hour is said to take just 4.9 seconds, en route to a 155-mph top end. There's an AMG adaptive sport suspension with adjustable dampers (from the C63), and the interior and exterior aesthetics have been pumped up for a more sporting appearance. It all seems like a good fit, and we think it'll slot nicely in the middle of the already good C-Class range. Check out our fresh batch of lives images of the C450 above.

Mercedes-Benz USA considering moving south
Wed, Dec 17 2014Mercedes-Benz may be a German automaker first and foremost, but it's a global operation. Among its many offices around the world, the company employs some 800 staffers at its US headquarters in New Jersey. But that office could be moving down South in the near future. According to reports in the Atlanta Business Chronicle, the Wall Street Journal and Automotive News, Mercedes is looking into relocating its American head office from Montvale, NJ, where it's been based since 1972, to one of several locations under consideration below the Mason-Dixon line. Among the front-runners is Atlanta, where Porsche bases its North American operations. The presence of a trained workforce, necessary infrastructure, compliant officials and proximity to a major hub for international air traffic could make the Georgian metropolis an attractive proposition for Mercedes. Several locations in North Carolina are also said to be under consideration, as well. Either way, MBUSA's relocation to the South would put it closer to its assembly plant in Tuscaloosa, AL, and to the Port of Brunswick near Savannah from which it ships out those vehicles made in Alabama to points overseas. The relocation project is reportedly being handled by commercial real-estate firm JLL Inc, which is helping Toyota handle its relocation from southern California and Ohio to Texas. Sources don't expect, however, for New Jersey to let Mercedes go without a fight. The state's Grow NJ Assistance Program could offer MBUSA an attractive incentives package to stay in Montvale. The company previously planned in 1998 to relocate to Pearl River, NY, but ultimately ended up staying in Jersey.
