Condition:  This car is immaculate.  It is absolutely beautiful and grabs the eyes of everyone that sees it from business executives to security guards to women at the mall.

Features:  The Mercedes-Benz CL550 comes in a designo collection paint, and prominently features the two logos in the center console, crafted from gilded plate brass.

The car itself includes a new AMG Sports package, which includes new front and rear aprons, with brushed stainless steel side skirts and pedals. The pedals are also studded in black rubber, so your shoe doesn't slip when you thrust the accelerator. Take a look at the high resolution photo of the wheel, and you will see silver-painted brake calipers with the company name emblazoned on them. They are contained by new 20-inch twin five-spoke anniversary edition wheels made from a light-alloy. The titanium grey wheels will only be available on the special edition, and feature the combined Mercedes star and Benz laurel wreath at the center.

Inside, drivers and passengers are welcomed with high-quality hand-stitched leather. Tanned to a "light sand color," the stitching used creates a high-contrast look. Where it gets a little odd is the use of a dark grey leather on the wheel -with dark wood- and dash, combined with piano black lacquer and an "anthracite Alcantara roof lining." Floor mats are also black. The brown-black contrast may be unappealing to some, but surely others will like the idea. Everybody inside gets the benefits of a six-disc DVD changer with surround-sound, with splitview. An upgraded COMAND APS system includes an SD card slot and a USB port.

What this 388 hp car is meant to do is celebrate "100 years of the trademark." Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft registered the Mercedes three-point star on June 24, 1909. Six weeks later, August Benz & Cie. registered there trademark: the word "Benz" surrounded by the laurel. One hundred years later, the two symbols are still iconic, reflecting both quality and performance, and landing the company at number 10 on BusinessWeek's "World's Best Brands" list.


History:  I am the third registered owner of this car.  Because of the car's exclusivity, the previous two owners were both older gentlemen who owned high profile Mercedes-Benz Dealerships and could pull the strings needed to get the car.

Shipping and payment:  Because this car is so unique, I require full clearance of funds prior to allowing the vehicle to leave my lot.  I have 36 months of mBrace+ ($2700) that I will be transferring to the buyer of the car.  The down payment is because I do not want my time to be wasted by someone that is unsure if they want this.  This is not a car that you can walk to any dealership and buy.  While having every package available for the 2010 model of CL550, this car also has several exclusive upgrades that came with the very exclusive, 100th Anniversary package.  There will be an approximately 30 day delay from purchase on the release of the title.  There is still money owed to the bank on the car loan so I will use the money for the purchase to pay the vehicle off and then the bank will send me the title.  I will then send the title via Next-Day Certified Mail to the purchaser of the vehicle OR I will place the title in the glove box of the car when it is picked up.  Shipping/pickup is the responsibility of the purchaser.

Smart Cross Connect app changes how ForTwos get used [UPDATE]

Tue, Oct 27 2015

UPDATE: The story's been updated with a response from a Smart representative. There are parking spaces, and then there are Fortwo parking spaces. Smart, which is owned by Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler, is looking for a way for its customers to take advantage of the difference. Think of it as a big thing for really small cars. Smart is working on an app for the redesigned Fortwo called Cross Connect that will be available as soon as next month, says Automotive News, citing Smart chief Annette Winkler. The idea is to connect owners of the diminutive two-seat vehicles to, for example, let them tell each other when there's a parking space that's too small for just about any other vehicle but big enough for a Smart. If you think that's a small thing, think again. The Fortwo is 8 feet, 10 inches long. That's almost six feet shorter than a Toyota Prius, which itself isn't exactly a stretch limo. In fact, the length of a Smart Fortwo is just 10 inches longer than the width of a Ford F-150, in case anyone was having misgivings about parking perpendicular in a parallel spot. Parking has become more relevant, and tougher, as more people move to urban centers. For instance, BMW said earlier this month that it would discontinue its DriveNow car-sharing operations in San Francisco because of the challenge of parking vehicles on that city's streets. Other possible amenities with the Cross Connect app including the enabling of personal car sharing as well as information on car washes that offer discounted rates for Smart Fortwo. Yes, there are some out there, apparently, and we salute them. Michael Minielly, a spokesman for Mercedes-Benz, confirmed to Autoblog that the Cross Connect features would be available in November.

UK workers strand car on island of asphalt to keep working

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

Generally speaking, when you illegally park your car, you're likely to get ticketed and towed, but there is probably at least one motorist in Scotland who wishes that was the case. After workers had blocked off a portion of the parking lot for the Edinburgh Waverley railway station, the driver of this Mercedes-Benz S-Class reportedly moved some of the barriers to park in one of the empty spots.
Rather than having the vehicle towed, the work crew simply tore up the asphalt around the leaving just the one parking spot intact, and as you can see in the image above (posted to the Twitter account of Harold Norstad), the crew even built a small asphalt ramp so the car could get off its blacktop pedestal. Since this happened last week, there's no word as to whether the car was eventually moved or towed for the resurfacing work to continue.
Let this be a warning...

Formula 1 seeking independent engine supplier

Mon, Oct 26 2015

Formula 1 could get a new engine supplier in the near future, if Bernie Ecclestone and the independent teams gets their way. According to Autosport, the FIA is soon to open the contract up for bids, and there are already several manufacturers that have expressed interest. Currently Mercedes, Ferrari, Renault, and Honda supply engines – both to their own premier teams (Red Bull and McLaren for the latter two) but also to other teams like Williams, Sauber, and Toro Rosso. Because the new turbocharged V6 hybrid power units cost those four suppliers so much to develop, they're charging their customer teams big bucks – around $20-30 million per season – to provide the engines. These costs are much higher than the $10 million or so it used to cost to purchase a V8 engine under the previous regulations. Ecclestone figures it's time to bring in another supplier who will not run their own team and not play favorites, but will supply engines to private teams at a lower cost. There are already a number of potential suppliers under consideration. One of them is said to be Cosworth, which has a long history in the series stretching back to 1963. The British firm stepped back between 2007 and 2009, returned in 2010, and dropped out again after 2013. The development could be of particular benefit to Red Bull, which has been unable to find an engine supplier and could be forced out of the series as a result. The team has long been powered by Renault, but that relationship has grown sour. And the other three engine manufacturers have not been forthcoming in offering an alternative arrangement for the team.
