Low Mileage Mint Condition 100 Years Of Mercedes-benz Anniversary Edition Cl550 on 2040-cars

Year:2010 Mileage:30000

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.

Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Mercedes-AMG, Porsche and Koenigsegg Lego sets coming this summer

Sun, May 5 2024

Lego has announced a slew of new automotive-themed sets. As is typical fashion for brand of building toys, the subject matter leans toward ultra-exotic, ultra-expensive vehicles, ranging from a $139,000 Mercedes SL63 on the low end to a $3 million Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut on the high end. If you can't afford those cars in real life, soon you'll be able to build your own plastic models of them. Some of the real-world counterparts aren't obtainable no matter what the cost. Take the Lamborghini Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo, for example. The one-off concept was designed by Lamborghini exclusively for Gran Turismo, the PlayStation racing simulator. However, Lamborghini did build a 1:1 version for the physical world, with the 808-horsepoewer hybrid V12 from the Sian FKP 37 beneath its bodywork. The Lego version is part of the company's Speed Champions line, which measure about 6 inches long. It does an excellent job of capturing the original's insectoid look and Y-shaped taillights. The set is made up of 230 pieces and will retail for $26.99. This is Lego's first Vision Gran Turismo car but we hope to see more.  Also joining the Speed Champions line are two 2-car sets. An Aston Martin-themed set pairs a Vantage safety car with an AMR23 Formula 1 racer. Both are finished in AMR's bright green with actual sponsor logos. The set contains 564 pieces and will cost $44.99. Also arriving as a 2-car set are a pair of Mercedes-AMGs. A black G 63 and yellow SL 63 Roadster, along with a pair of sunglasses-clad bros, make up the 808-piece set. It also retails for $44.99. All three Speed Champions sets arrive on June 1, 2024. If you're looking for something a bit more advanced and detailed, Lego also offers the Technic line. First up is a Porsche GT4 e-Performance, a 1,000-horsepower race car based on the 718 Cayman. This set can also function as a remote controlled car that moves forward, backward, and steers via a downloadable smartphone app. The 834-piece set costs $169.99. Last but not least, there's the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, a model of the Swedish supercar that is said to have a top speed of over 300 mph. The model does an admirable job of capturing the car's 0.278 Cd drag coefficient, considering it's comprised of 801 individual plastic bricks. This set will retail for $49.99 and, along with the Porsche, comes out August 1, 2024. Related Video LEGO Speed Champion Build: 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback

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...
