Low Mileage Mint Condition 100 Years Of Mercedes-benz Anniversary Edition Cl550 on 2040-cars
Fayetteville, North Carolina, United States
|
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. |

2019 BMW X7 vs luxury SUV rivals: Comparing specs and photos
Wed, Oct 17 2018Today we get our first-ever look at the first-ever 2019 BMW X7 crossover. We've actually already had our first-ever drive in an X7 Prototype. And so, we thought it appropriate to follow that up today with the first-ever X7 comparison of specs between BMW's first-ever three-row crossover with legitimate room for seven and its many high-dollar competitors. On paper, the 2019 X7 definitely seems to most closely align with the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class. Their similar dimensions, interior space, engine choices and price would certainly imply where BMW placed the target when developing X7. We used those same elements to determine three-row vehicles likely to be cross-shopped or that should be cross-shopped. These include the Audi Q7, Land Rover Discovery, Volvo XC90 and Lincoln Navigator. Yes, the latter is a truck-based SUV as opposed to a crossover, but tell that to all the people lining out the door at the local Lincoln emporium. They do not care, and neither shall we. We also included the 2019 BMW X5, which was completely redesigned for this year and therefore not the first-ever. That makes it less appealing? Either way, lining the new X5 up with the SUV that leapfrogs it atop BMW's SUV hierarchy should provide a good idea of just how much more you get by going up a model number. Engines and model lineup Again, the X7 aligns closest with the GLS, offering a base six-cylinder in its xDrive40i model and an upgrade turbo V8 in the xDrive50i. The Mercedes engines have greater output, but the GLS still accelerates slower than the BMW. As the 2019 X5 offers the exact same engines, we would also expect the X7's fuel economy to be superior to the GLS once its estimates are announced. It should be noted, though, that the GLS offers a high-powered AMG model whereas we anticipate the X7 to offer a plug-in hybrid model comparable to the X5 upcoming xDrive45e model. The other luxury SUVs diverge in their engine choices and model lineup. The Audi Q7 offers a base turbocharged four-cylinder, as does the Volvo XC90 in its T5 model, which we left out of the above chart entirely for space reasons. That the Q7 3.0 TFSI supercharged V6 gets the same fuel economy estimates as the four-cylinder is proof positive that engine is purely around for its lower base price.
Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets
Tue, Jul 17 2018Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.
