 This was Mercedes top of the line car.  I was told that it cost $144,000 new. I cannot verify that.  It has every conceivable option that I can think of- from massaging seats to dark legal tinted windows, parking sensors, leather interior, etc.  And does that V12 really go!!   Why couldn't I have owned this 40 years ago?  That beautiful silver paint with the Fergiano custom 20 inch newer tires has a Camaro like appearance. It is plenty fast even for a non turbo version.


    Everybody who sees this car really are awe struck by it's 100 mph look.  If you are power mad you can add the twin turbos and computer chip and you can pull over 700hp out of this brute.  Let your grandmother drive this and it will get about 15mpg.   When you are driving it  at 130 (limiter) you just don't have time to look at a gas gauge. - and smoking past most "fast cars" their drivers are shocked and must think it was just an F16 going by.   Yes I may be exaggerating but once you get into the cockpit of this thing you will find out that there is nothing but pure pleasure aboard.   I have had several women want to buy it but don't have the funds.    

    Now for the negatives-  if you are married your wife will not like this car for obvious reasons.   At 63 years of age that is not so much a concern but my wife hates the car because I bought it without telling her until I brought it home.  Sorry, it has been so enjoyable, but finally the negativity has worn me down and I need to go on with my life.  There are a few issues with the car.  This car has a rebuilt title.  Rebuilt means that it was wrecked but has been repaired and inspected by the state to get a rebuilt title.  This car has the original hood and front fenders so the damage in my opinion was not that bad.  This car drives straight and does not display any hints of ever being in a wreck.  I would not afraid to take my hands off the wheel at 100 miles an hour.  There are
a few other things.  The Distronic unit has a pinhole in it so it doesn't work.  It slows your car down automatically if you are approaching  a car too fast.  About as necessary as hubcaps on mag wheels, but part of the equipment that came with the car.  The ABS light has been on since I got the car but I know that this car will stop on a dime every time.  The engine light has stayed on since I purchased the car but after being serviced at the Isringhauser Mercedes dealership they told me not to be too concerned about the lights.  If you are serious about the car you are more than welcome to have this car diagnosed  locally at your own expense.  Two other concerns- sometimes when you first try to start the car you have to turn the switch back off and on one time or the ignition will not engage. I assume a new ignition switch will cure that but I never got around to getting it fixed.  And if you let the car sit for a week or so the body will settle onto of the tires. Read where the active body control often had a leaking hose.  Start the car up and it goes back up.   Just come and drive it- make your own mind up.  I owe more on this car than I am asking for it but the enjoyment I have gotten from it has been worth it.  I have not abused this car but have enjoyed its abilities on occasion.  Come have a look and fly this beast.

Mercedes Concept GLA45 AMG is ready to run

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

This is the Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA45 AMG, and what we mean by that is, "This is the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG." Mercedes has just unveiled the liveried 'concept' at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, giving potential customers a very good look at the newest lunatic in the AMG asylum - a 355-horsepower, 332-pound-foot crossover that uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in the CLA45 AMG and Europe's A45 AMG.
Joined with a seven-speed, AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission and an AMG Performance 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, Mercedes promises a sub-five-second run to 60 miles per hour. That's not just quick for a crossover, that's quick full stop.
That sleek, lifted body has also been tweaked by the minds at AMG's Affalterbach facility. A new rear spoiler, side sills and front clip are the primary aerodynamic tweaks. Aesthetically, AMG has fitted the requisite "Turbo" badges, gloss-black accents (including exhaust tips and roof rails) and a set of 21-inch, AMG-spec alloy wheels to round out the overall package. Based on the spy shots we've seen, expect slightly toned down aerodynamics when the GLA45 AMG arrives in showrooms.

10 electric cars we’re excited are coming soon

Thu, Sep 22 2022

If you were considering buying an electric vehicle a couple years ago, we wouldn't fault you for thinking your options were limited, both in terms of quantity and quality. You just might not have been able to find an electric car that would suit your needs, lifestyle or budget. With the newest generation of EVs that have launched in the past year or two, your options have changed — and improved — dramatically. If you still don't see an EV you like, just wait a little while longer. It won't take long. There are a whole lot more on the horizon, and the problem may soon be in narrowing down your options. To give you an example, here are 10 electric vehicles we're excited about that you'll be able to buy very soon, from GM, from Germany, from Japan and more. Some of these will be available by the end of the year, and all are expected to launch by the end of 2023. The Chevy trio: 2024 Blazer EV, Equinox EV and Silverado EV GM is stepping into the future with strong footing. Following high-end electric launches from GMC (Hummer EV) and Cadillac (Lyriq), Chevrolet is bringing three electric vehicles with familiar nameplates. The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV (above left) will offer a number of versions, starting with the 2LT and RS trims in the summer of 2023, followed by the 557-horsepower SS in the fall and the base 1LT in early 2024. The 2024 Chevy Equinox EV (above right) will go on sale in fall 2023 as a limited-edition model, with volume sales ramping up in 2024, with a base cost of “around $30,000.” For those who prefer a bed to a liftgate, the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV is an electric pickup that looks more like the old Chevy Avalanche than the current Silverado. The WT (work truck) trim launches in fall 2023, while the 664-horsepower RST will follow in 2024. Read more: 5 new electric car companies coming in 2023 and beyond 2023 BMW i7 BMW revealed the all-electric 2023 i7 luxury sedan alongside the gas-powered 7 Series. It should go on sale before the end of 2022. The i7 xDrive60 will be the only variant, with its two motors providing a total of 536 horsepower and 549 pound-feet of torque, and its battery expected to offer a range of about 300 miles. Just like its internal combustion counterpart, this full-size sedan wonÂ’t come cheap, with the i7 starting at $120,295. 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Following the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Genesis GV60, the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 will be the fourth car using Hyundai GroupÂ’s E-GMP electric car architecture.
