This is likely one of the best w126 sedans in the country. I am the second owner. I bought it from
the original owner in West Palm Beach in Florida. It is a U.S spec car and will pass smog even in California. I can help re-import it into the U.S if anyone is interested. Car has 70k miles. Very well documented service history. Only genuine Mercedes parts used. Stacks of receipts available. Midnight blue exterior with palomino interior. Here is some of the recent service (within the last 5k miles). - New HVAC blower motor and monovalve - New tires (and rims were professionally refurbished) - New brake discs and pads all round - New sway bar links - New SLS high pressure lines and fluid flushed - New steering tie rods (inner and outer on both sides) - New rear windscreen imported from Germany (replaced due to de-lamination of defroster element) - New engine mounts - New timing chain, tensioner and guide rails - New valve stem oil seals and guides (basically the top end was redone, head gasket up everything was rebuilt) - New camshaft oiler tube clips - New idle control valve - New coolant hoses everywhere - New vacuum lines and check valves - New spark plug wires and cap - New plenum gaskets (pretty much anything made of rubber in the engine bay has been replaced) - New odometer gears - New hood insulation - New floor mats - And obviously all fluids have been flushed (power steering, transmission, SLS, etc...) I easily have about $20k all in and have receipts to prove it. The car was put in storage in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada a few month after the photos were taken. Its about an hour from Ogdensburg, NY. It was not a daily driver or anything like that. It was just my toy. I know people in the U.S like to say the "moisture" in Canada can cause a car to rust, so after much research I had it rust proofed with Corrosion Free 3000 when I imported it, which is apparently what the military use for their vehicles. So regardless, there is no rust, there never was and there never will be. For the folks who like to ask whether its ready to be driven across the country, the answer is definitely YES! The car has the following problems; 1. The driver's seat has a small slit in it. Nothing wrong with the frame, backrest or springs. Its easily repairable but good quality leather replacement covers are available from places like GAHH so I would just replace it. All the other seats look completely unused. 2. The transmission oil pan gasket leaks a few drops a week. I've replaced the gasket about 3 times now and it still drips. I can only assume that the pan is slightly warped. Genuine replacement is like $100. 3. The cruise control stalk is loose and doesn't work properly. I have a replacement unit yet to be installed. The car is stock. There are no "tasteful mods" (if you pardon the Euro lights, original NAM spec lights are included) I'm an honest person and a Mercedes enthusiast (was part of MBCA and I've built more than a few Mercedes engines). I'm just trying to sell my garage queen. I'll be happy to answer any questions over email or we can exchange phone numbers. The car is also listed on autotrader and kijiji. I've added 10 high res photos. If they don't show up, please email me and I'll send them to you. FYI the speaker covers have since been replaced (seen broken in the photos). |

Mercedes has X6 in its crosshairs with the GLE Coupe
Tue, Jan 13 2015In the last month, Mercedes-Benz has taken the sheet off two versions of its GLE Coupe: the 450 AMG and Mercedes-AMG GLE63 S. The models represent the German brand's shot across the bow at the BMW X6 in the luxury-crossover-four-door-coupe segment, including the high-performance M version of the bodystyle. Not much separates the styling between the two versions. Both feature sweeping arches over the hood and roofline to create their coupe-like appearance. Up front there are huge air intakes with a wide grille on top that's bisected by the brand's traditional star. The AMG version tweaks that look with the division's A-wing grille. At the rear, there are wraparound taillights and a chrome strip. The higher performance version also sports a modified diffuser and air outlets. No matter which one buyers choose, they get a healthy amount of power nestled under the hood. The 450 AMG packs a 3.0-liter, twin-turbo V6 with 362 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque with a nine-speed automatic. Opting for the GLE63 means a massive boost with 577 hp and 561 pound-feet from a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 routing through a seven-speed auto gearbox. Either way, customers get Merc's 4Matic all-wheel drive system. The luxury crossover coupe segment is often maligned for looking awkward, but Mercedes clearly sees room to grow there. Check them both out live from the 2015 Detroit Auto Show floor in the galleries above.

Carlsson SLK 340 Judd is winged up for hill climb glory
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Carlsson has been expertly tuning Mercedes-Benz products for more than 20 years now, but we can't say as we remember the outfit turning out anything quite so racy as this SLK 340 Judd that it has brought along to the Geneva Motor Show this year.
This SLK is meant for competition, obviously, and Carlsson has already booked the car to race in several hill climb events in the E1 category. The purpose-built racer should have a fighting chance to do well in said races, with a shape vetted in wind tunnel testing for maximum downforce, the SLK uses a carbon-fiber bodyshell to help achieve a curb weight of just about 1,720 pounds.
The featherweight SLK's name comes from its 3.4-liter V8 engine, which churns out a wicked 610 horsepower to go with its 317 pound-feet of torque. A Hewland transmission with paddle shift operation manages all of the thrust.
