This is my personal E55 up for
sale! I just bought another car and I
don’t have space for two, so I am very reluctantly selling it. For those that don’t know, the W210 E55
AMG is amongst the best value-for-money AMGs, period. In fact, few other cars offer the same blend
of outright performance, quality build, practicality, and reliability that come
as neatly wrapped as the W210 E55 package.
They’re fast and bullet-proof and don’t have the expensive and frequent
repair issues of the W211s (2003-2006) E55s, especially the $1,000/ corner Airmatic
DC shocks. Since fewer than 2,000 cars were
imported to the USA, there is only a small number of well-documented low
mileage examples left. In this case, I bought the car from the
original owning family in Miami. All
major service history is documented since new.
The prior owner pampered the car and it really shows. It’s highly unlikely that you will find
a car with so few miles, no accident history and a complete service
history. This E55 is truly a rare find. Exterior The car is finished in Obsidian Metallic
on black interior as opposed to the majority of cars which are silver or 040
Black. The paint is glossy wet and in excellent condition. The previous owner
was meticulous with the car. Fortunately, it shows! One of the reasons I picked
this car, is because it hides dirt and dust better than black, and it's in
pristine condition! I use Meguiars car wash, Zymol wax and Liquid Glass auto polish
that is used on airplanes. (clearly I have praaablems) The paint doesn't have
any swirls, scratches or dings, and the body is pretty straight! The car has also never been in any accidents
and has a clean CarFax. Interior The interior is finished in black nappa
leather. The seats are soft and supple with perforations. The seats don't have
any tears, rips, stains, blemishes, or show any signs of neglect. The carpet
inside is as fresh as it is when it was new. There aren't any stains, rips,
spills, or holes in the carpet. I also purchased genuine Mercedes-Benz all
weather floor mats to protect the interior if it was raining, and just to
protect the floor mats that are in the car. I also purchased a custom fitted
sun shade to help protect the car from heat and the rays from the sun. The wood
in the car is a Black Birds-Eye Maple. I like the color because it blends in
well with the black upholstery. The
seats were treated with Leatherique® by hand and no expense was spared for
mechanical maintenance. Mechanical What can I say? When I bought this car, I
had the prior owner furnish all of the service records, which I still
have. I’m happy to furnish a summary of
work done to date. I feel that with this calibre of a car, it's SO important to
know the history! Another reason I bought it from a private seller who was a
stickler for maintenance. So, since I've
had it, the only thing I've had done is the typical belt-tensioner and
serpentine belt ($700) and the trunk lock, which died ($800). The prior owner replaced a variety of
things, including the all-important A/C Evaporator for a whopping $3,000. This is the Achilles heel of the W210 chassis
and every car seems to need a new one at one point or another. The regularly gets 24mpg on the highway,
which is awesome for a 5.5L V8 engine!
To my knowledge, the car appears to need nothing more than a new home. And since it's safely parked in my
driveway, until the new owner comes to get it, it won’t need attention. I
always run Premium unleaded in this car, and I spare no expense to ensure its
upkeep. This is my 16th Mercedes I've owned. So, I'm not just an individual
with a "Benz" in the driveway. I'm the kind of individual that keeps
his cars squared away and clean. I believe in preventative maintenance rather
than repetitive maintenance. Should you need an inspection, I would be more
than happy to take it to a Mercedes-Benz dealer (at your expense) for a
"pre-purchase inspection" Tyres Tyres on this car are in great
condition. They are top-of-the line Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 ($1,100) and were
installed just before I bought the car. The Fine Print Okay, so here's the deal. If you've
gotten this far, it's obvious that you are serious about my car I have tried to describe everything to
the best of my knowledge, and I don't have anything to hide. If you have
questions, I would be glad to answer them for you. My name is Farra and my cell
number is 610-389-4329. If I don't answer, please leave me a message. I will
call you back. As far as price goes, I believe it is priced quietly fairly
given its pedigree. You can buy a cheaper one, sure. But you really do get what you pay for. This car is not just an AMG that has
been bought and sold by an independent dealer that doesn't have a solid paper
trail. If you want a car that has no books and records, you will pay for it...not
now, but in the long run in maintenance. If you haven't checked on what an
evaporator (common problem) on this car is, it's not a $500 deal...try $4,000.00!
So, if you want a damn good solid car, then here ya go! I have a free and clear title in hand. If
you buy the car, you will have to get a temporary plate through your DMV or PA
DMV if you plan on driving it out of state or anywhere at that matter. Shipping If you plan on coming to Philly, I would
be glad to coordinate a time to pick you up from either airport. If you have a
shipper and want to ship it, I would be glad to meet them if needed close to
the house so they can load it on the truck. I will do the inspection with the
driver before it goes on the truck so that everything is legit. I'm flexible
with whatever you want to do, just let me know. The car is being sold by me,
and I am not a dealer or a third party. The car is being sold AS/IS-WHERE/IS,
and no warranties are implied. If you need a shipper, I will be glad to help
you. I wish everyone the best of luck, and
you won't be sorry! |

2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Coupe
Thu, 31 Jan 2013
Mercedes-Benz upgraded its SLS flagship Coupe and Roadster for the 2013 model year, and the changes are marked with them new "GT" nomenclature. Both SLS models arrive with a retuned naturally aspired 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque (the horses are up from 563, but the torque remains the same) mated to a revised seven-speed AMG Speedshift dual-clutch gearbox. Rounding out the mechanical upgrades is a redeveloped AMG two-mode adaptive suspension. Physically, the revised models are differentiated by their new "GT" badging, darkened headlight/taillight buckets, red brake calipers, unique wheel colors and high gloss finish on the front grille, exterior mirrors and hood/fender fins. Inside the cabin are new red seatbelts, Alcantara upholstery and contrasting red stitching.
As it is nearly impossible to experience the aluminum gullwing beast on public roads, Mercedes invited out to Southern California's Willow Springs to wring out the 2013 SLS GT Coupe on a racing circuit.
2015 Mercedes C-Class owners reporting bleeding seats [UPDATE]
Wed, Jan 7 2015UPDATE: Daimler AG became aware that, in a small number of individual cases, it is possible for temporary spots and/or shiny patches to form on the man-made leather surfaces of the 2015 C-Class in sub-freezing temperatures. No accidents or injuries have been reported, and we have no reason to believe that there are any hazards to customers. Replacement parts are expected to start shipping to dealers by next week. Owners of the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class are learning the hard way that you don't necessarily want to buy a new vehicle in its first model year. Besides reports of poorly fitting taillights and faulty infotainment touchpads, a number of reports are popping up on the forums of MBWorld.org claiming that the compact luxury sedan's seats are, for lack of a better term, bleeding. Owners of US-built, 2015 C-Classes fitted with MB Tex vinyl interiors are reporting a white, oily, shiny residue discoloring their seats that shows up, often after cold cars are quickly heated. It's important to note that this residue is not necessarily staining the seats permanently – warm, soapy water is often all that's needed to restore the original finish. In other cases, the residue disappears of its own accord, only to reappear in an entirely different pattern. That doesn't make things any more acceptable to owners, many of whom have reached out to Mercedes with complaints. It's not clear how many vehicles are affected, but there are a sizable number of forum threads on the issue on MBWorld alone, and the problem is prevalent enough that Mercedes has issued a technical service bulletin to its dealers. According to the forum postings, the TSB instructs service technicians to replace the headrest and seat cover (except for the front, passenger-side seat bottom because of "factory calibration issues") in affected customer vehicles. New C-Class models in dealer inventories, meanwhile, are to get the soapy water treatment if they're showing signs of the residue. Neither one of those moves seems to represent a long-term fix, though. Black MB Tex seats – both the standard and sport variety – seem to be particularly susceptible to the residue, although we stumbled across at least one image of what looks like Silk Beige MB Tex with speckles of residue.
Automakers face reality of EVs' cost — to jobs, and their bottom line
Tue, Sep 12 2017Related: We obsessively covered the Frankfurt Motor Show — here's our complete coverage FRANKFURT, Germany — European car bosses gathering for the Frankfurt auto show are beginning to address the realities of mass vehicle electrification, and its consequences for jobs and profit, their minds focused by government pledges to outlaw the combustion engine. As the latest such announcement by China added momentum to a push for zero-emissions motoring, Daimler, Volkswagen and PSA Group gave details about their electric programs that could give policymakers some pause. Planned electric Mercedes models will initially be just half as profitable as conventional alternatives, Daimler warned — forcing the group to find savings by outsourcing more component manufacturing, which may in turn threaten German jobs. "In-house production is almost irrelevant to the consumer," Daimler boss Dieter Zetsche told reporters on the eve of the Frankfurt Motor Show, in the midst of a German election campaign in which automotive jobs have loomed large. The company set a target of saving 4 billion euros ($4.8 billion) by 2025 to help fund the cost of its electric cars. "Daimler is the first company to state explicitly how much electric vehicles are going to hurt margins," said Bernstein analyst Max Warburton. "It was brave to go first — but of course it won't be the last." Volkswagen, for its part, said it was seeking new global supplier contracts to source 50 billion euros ($60 billion) of electric car content including batteries, which are not yet manufactured competitively in Europe. "A company like Volkswagen must lead, not follow," Chief Executive Matthias Mueller told reporters. VW diesel emissions-cheating exposed by U.S. regulators in 2015 triggered global public outrage, dozens more investigations into test-rigging by the wider industry and a push by some lawmakers to ban diesel and eventually all engines. TIGHTENING NOOSE Tesla shares jumped nearly 6 percent on Monday after a Chinese minister said it was a question of when, not if, Beijing bans fossil-fuel cars, tightening the noose around the combustion engine. France and Britain have promised its outright abolition by 2040. But PSA, the maker of Peugeots and Citroens, said it was concerned about the risks if consumers were left behind in the rush, and a new generation of battery cars does not sell.
