 I'm guessing that if you are looking at this listing, you already know how fantastic these cars are, so I won't spend a whole lot of time expounding upon the virtues of this lovely wagon. I've owned this car since 2008 and used it only as an occasional driver. The time has come to pass this car along to someone who can love it the way it truly deserves!

*The Awesome!*
-Only 65,000 miles. Really. The car was owned by an elderly woman in Arizona, who passed it on to her grandson up here in the Puget Sound area. He sold it to me after having it only for a short while, out of fear of ruining his Grandma's car.
-The interior is MB Tex in the Sienna color and in immaculate condition. The seats and carpeting look brand new, and there are no interior cracks anywhere on the dash.
-The vacuum system is still strong, though a little slow.
-We've recently replaced the climate control servo, which is a frequent source of problems with this car.
-I have all the books and most of the service records (there aren't many). I also have an extra set of hubcaps that I will include. These things may or may not seem awesome to you.
-Did I mention that it only has 65,000 miles on it?

*The Average!*
-Do you like to accelerate quickly? There is no turbo on this model, so it's just not going to happen. It moves at a good clip once you're up to speed though. Slow and steady wins the race, right?
-The window controls are a little sticky. This could easily be fixed by taking off the covers and cleaning the connectors, it's just something that I've never gotten around to.

*The Awww...*
-It needs paint. The clear coat is gone and some rust is starting to set in. At this point, it's not too terrible, just around the edges of the doors and still fairly superficial. Nothing that couldn't be easily fixed when the car is being repainted.
-There is a dent in the rear hatch. It came to me like that, and never particularly bothered me because I had always intended on doing the paint and body work. It in no way affects the closure of the door and the rusting on the dent hasn't changed since I purchased the car. I've done the research and you can buy that back door for a couple hundred dollars.
-The rear hatch does not stay open on its own. I will include a handy 2x2 in the sale that is the perfect length to keep it propped open.

If you have any additional questions, or would like any additional photos, just let me know.

2022 Mercedes-Maybach S 580 First Drive | This thing rules

Tue, Jun 14 2022

I can’t help but giggle to myself cruising around in the 2022 Mercedes-Maybach S 580. It is so absurdly good at its intended purpose. Just like a Porsche 911 is to performance, the latest Maybach is to all-out luxury. Much of the MaybachÂ’s goodness is thanks to the excellence of the new S-Class. Technological innovations like rear-wheel steering, E-Active Body Control and the latest MBUX software systems, all found in the new S-Class, establish a very lofty floor for the Maybach version of the car to build upon. And yes, when you pay the Maybach S 580Â’s exorbitant $185,950 base price, you get a whole lot more than just the standard S-Class experience. Appearances are half the battle with mega-luxury yachts like this car. The Rolls-Royces and Bentleys of the world are formidable on the road, and this Mercedes-Maybach puts up a good fight. It all starts with the 7-inch-longer wheelbase, most of which youÂ’ll see represented in the massive “comfort rear doors.” And we do mean “comfort” — they electronically swing open or shut via a switch on the ceiling or via a touch to the pop-out door handles. A massive radiator-style grille replaces the comparatively subdued grille in the standard S-Class. The C-pillar is noticeably more upright in the Maybach, and it features a light-up Maybach logo that reminds everybody about how rich you are, even at night.  And lastly, thereÂ’s the utterly breathtaking two-tone paint — pictured in Obsidian Black/Manufaktur Diamond White here — that costs $12,750 extra, but is genuinely worth the coin. Robots first spray the whole body in the lower halfÂ’s color, then the dividing line is hand-painted before both it and the lower part of the car is masked off for the top color to be hand-applied by MercedesÂ’ expert painters. There are lots of steps that were just left out, but know that the process can take up to a week in the custom paint shop before the body is returned to the regular production process. The end result of all these changes is a sedan that is both deeply different in character but also recognizable as the S-Class it is based on. ItÂ’s also just as imposing and rich-looking as a Bentley Flying Spur, so donÂ’t worry about being out-classed in the country club parking lot. Deciding which seat to occupy — the driverÂ’s seat, or the lounge-like rear seat — on the way to said country club might be the most difficult decision any Maybach S 580 owner will have to make on any given day.

Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton buys LaFerrari

Tue, Mar 24 2015

Lewis Hamilton has driven some of the fastest cars ever devised, like the McLaren MP4-23 with which he won the 2008 Formula One World Championship, the Mercedes W05 with which he won the title last year, and the new W06 he drove to the checkered flag in the season opener earlier this month. But what does he drive in his spare time? According to the latest reports quoting his boss Toto Wolff, the reigning champ celebrated his win at the Australian Grand Prix by ordering a new LaFerrari. The seven-figure, 950-horsepower hybrid hypercar may be made by a rival manufacturer to the team for which he drives, but then his employers at Mercedes don't (for the time being at least) build anything that competes in the segment – unlike his former employers at McLaren that offer the similarly potent P1. Something tells us he won't be invited to drive it at Fiorano, though - which is something his rivals Fernando Alonso, Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel have all had the chance to do. Hamilton has a long-established penchant for driving twelve-cylinder exotic supercars in his spare time. At his previous place of work, he was promised an exceedingly rare McLaren F1 LM – valued at some $4 million – but only if he won three world titles for the Woking-based team. He also owns a Pagani Zonda that was made specifically for him with a 760-horsepower engine (supplied, naturally, by Mercedes) and a six-speed manual – complete with a clutch pedal, which (apart from starting off the line) is something he doesn't usually get to operate during working hours.

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.
