This car means business!
This 2008 CLS550 was owned by a young doctor's wife who rarely left the garage with it. And when she did drive it, she drove like an old lady. Now, it's ready for action.
She sold it when she divorced Dr. Husband and when it left her hands, the new owner quickly turned this into a man's car like no other.
The standard glossy black paint was upgraded to a an impressively original flat black (like a matted charcoal color), and it draws crowds and questions at every stop. Whether at the gas pumps or at the evening outing, men and women alike always have to ask about it.
It looks like a boss rapper or an all-star pro athlete's ride, and it somehow fits in at the symphony valet lot and also the Harley rider's bar just the same.
While the doctor's wife may never have realized this, the 382 horsepower aluminum V8 easily rockets to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds and it seems like no strain at all. It's too easy to speed in this car because it handles so beautifully.
The high performance Parelli tires snug up to the 18" 7-spoke alloy wheels with precision, and the bright red brakes look like a subtle, yet mean accent.
This car spent most of its time in the garage when the doctor's wife owned it, and now its odometer reads around 46,600 but if you look at the trunk, the seats, and the carpet, you can see how this car looks like it just left the custom showroom.
Clean Carfax report available upon request. Report was purchased by seller on May 14, 2013.
Heated and vented seats, an electronic trunk closer, tire pressure monitoring system, and an anti-theft alarm that disables the engine are all part of this impeccable package.
Now owned by an individual in Houston, Texas where it can be viewed or you can set up a test drive (contingent on background check).
Scammers don't bother. Seller has a lengthy law enforcement background, and will locate and prosecute criminals.
As equipped, this car's sticker was $73,000 when it was bought but that was before the engine cowlings were upgraded for show and the paint was upgraded to what you see here.
Just look at how the Mercedes emblems are dark and the windows tinted to finish off this amazing detail.
Let me know any questions or whether you want any other pictures.
All catalogues and owners manuals are included in the factory leather zipper case.

BMW expects China to pass US as its top market in 2013
Thu, 11 Jul 2013When you combine two billion citizens, 100 cities with more than a million inhabitants and an economy that's as unrestrained as Jim Cramer on an Adderall binge, China's explosive auto industry growth shouldn't be a huge surprise. Audi already lists the communist country as its largest market, while Mercedes-Benz is expecting it to be there in the next few years. Now, according to a report from Automotive News, BMW is expecting the People's Republic to overtake the United States in sales by the end of 2013.
We already discovered the extent that BMW is going to in establishing a dedicated Chinese stronghold, when we explored BMW's Shanghai-based DesignWorks studio ahead of April's Shanghai Motor Show. And while we argued that DesignWorks Shanghai hasn't really borne fruit, it isn't due to a lack of sales.
BMW China has seen a 16-percent jump in year-over-year sales, lead by a 28-percent gain in 5 Series sales. Part of BMW's growth strategy comes from an ever-expanding dealership network. Remember those 100 cities we mentioned with over one million people? According to Karsten Engel, CEO of BMW's Chinese operations, those 100-million-plus city dwellers don't have access to a premium dealership.
Autoblog drives to the Arctic Circle
Fri, 22 Mar 2013In Which Mercedes' Sprinter Becomes A Long-Distance Sherpa
In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
As I am about to nod off on my long leg flight from Minneapolis to Anchorage ahead of driving to the Arctic Circle, the friendly twenty-something Alaskan knitting furiously in the seat next to me pauses and says, "When you're driving up there, don't open your windows." In the dead of winter? I hadn't planned on cruising alfresco, but her warning to keep the glazing snugged against the weatherstripping is one I would take to heart. She continues: "If you leave 'em open, a fox is liable to jump right in. There are lots of rabid foxes up there, and they leap into your car and just Go. To. Town." And here I was, thinking that a curious bear or maybe an ill-placed moose in the road was going to be my biggest potential four-legged threat. In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
2015 Bahrain F1 Grand Prix puts a dark horse in the desert [spoilers]
Mon, Apr 20 2015Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen had said after Malaysia that Ferrari can challenge Mercedes-AMG Petronas purely on pace, beyond the scope of tire wear, in the dry. We didn't see that in China, where Lewis Hamilton easily kept everyone behind and Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel only got close to Mercedes' Nico Rosberg when Rosberg slowed down to conserve his tires. But the Iceman's words seemed prescient during qualifying for the Bahrain Formula One Grand Prix. At the front, nothing has changed so far this year: four races, four pole positions for Lewis Hamilton. Instead of teammate Rosberg next to him, though, he'll look over to see the scarlet Ferrari of Vettel, who took advantage of Rosberg's cautiousness to snatch second place on the grid. In Q2, Rosberg tried to conserve the tires he'd start the race on and said he couldn't get into a groove in Q3, putting in a time 0.147 seconds slower than Vettel. The second Silver Arrows will share his row with the second Ferrari, Raikkonen – yet again – saying he might have left some time on the table during his hot lap but getting around just one tenth off Rosberg's time. Williams is established as the best of the rest behind two teams this year instead of just one last year, Valtteri Bottas claiming fifth ahead of Felipe Massa. Daniel Ricciardo of Infiniti Red Bull Racing said he wants to fight with the Williams', he'll be helped with a good start off the line for the first time this year. Nico Hulkenberg got Force India into Q3 for the first time since the Italian Grand Prix last year and into eighth on the grid, ahead of Carlos Sainz in the Toro Rosso and Romain Grosjean putting in another excellent day's work for Lotus. Come race time, it turned into Mercedes power against Ferrari strategy. When Sky F1 commentator Martin Brundle talks about the Mercedes-AMG Petronas team he often mentions how their engine advantage leads to other advantages throughout the car. Not having to use aerodynamic changes to make up for power unit deficiencies, for instance, means they can run the aero setup they want, which optimizes speed and tire wear throughout a lap. It equates to advantage on top of advantage on top of advantage. That's where Lewis Hamilton is right now, so fundamentally dialed in to his car and his racing that he run the races he wants to run. From the front spot, the Brit ripped off another perfect start and led the field into Turn 1, relinquishing the lead only during pit stops.
