Please read the entire description before bidding!!! When we bought this car in 2006 here on ebay it came from california. The minute I cranked it up after it came in I knew that I had been lied to. I left the guy who sold it to me the appropriate feedback and he of course left me the one negative feedback that I have ever been left on this site.I say all of that because I know what it is like to be screwed and I would never do that to anyone else. Just look at my feedback on the other cars i have sold on here. That said here is the good and the bad:
GOOD:
1) Transmission was rebuilt in 11/2007. It probably does not have more than 50-60K miles on it. I say probably because the odometer quit working at 175K and I would estimate the miles at no more than 225K. Rear end functions perfectly.
2) Car cranks right up and idles smoothly. Rebuilt fuel distributor and injectors. Hot start more difficult, probably the accumulator or a check valve. No big deal.
3) Exhaust manifold gaskets replaced.
4)brakes work flawlessly
5) Only rust on the whole car is a tiny amount around the hood emblem. This was a california car and now alabama.
6) Power steering works but does leak some fluid
7) Power windows both work
BAD
1) When we bought it it needed timing chain, tensioner, right cam and rockers. It now needs all that again as assessed by B'ham Benz recently. This is an interference motor and if the timing chain snaps the motor is toast. THE RIGHT PERSON TO BUY THIS CAR SHOULD BE SOMEONE WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY!!!!!
2) Heater works fine but AC components missing from car
3) There are probably 3 different shades of red on this car. Clearly some panel painting has been done.
4) Leather on seats getting tired but we have put lexol on it religiously
5) Has a serious rear main seal leak. We had this replaced when we did the tranny but for whatever reason it did not work as expected.
6) That said the car has great compression and does not burn oil at all. Call me with questions. Phillip 205-936-9199. Will deliver to a local shipper. Come look at it is best of all.

Next Mercedes-Benz GLK to get AMG variant? Not likely...
Fri, 15 Mar 2013If you think Mercedes-Benz will slap an AMG badge on anything with wheels, think again. Word has it the German manufacturer will not offer buyers a performance version of the GLK, with Tobias Moers, director of AMG vehicle development, saying that he doesn't see a market for the car. That's not to say the picture won't change in the near future, however. According to CarAdvice.com, AMG is keeping a close eye on the arrival of the Porsche Macan.
"Maybe there will be a change in the market when the Porsche [Macan] comes up," Moers said, "but right now, no."
The real hitch in the giddy-up seems to be cost. Moers says developing the machine into something worthy of an AMG would represent "a huge investment." We can't exactly argue with that. Fortunately, AMG buyers have plenty of Mercedes-Benz models to choose from.
Mercedes-Maybach GLS Edition 100 layers on the opulence
Wed, Sep 29 2021The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class Edition 100 was revealed yesterday, but it wasn’t the only new Maybach product to come out. No, in addition to the S-Class, Mercedes took the wraps off the Mercedes-Maybach GLS Edition 100. We didnÂ’t have the details for the SUV version right away, but we have them now. None of those details are all that surprising, though. The GLS Edition 100 is built to celebrate the same Maybach centennial milestone as the S-Class, and its appearance is essentially a copycat of the sedan. The one key difference versus the sedan is the number of cylinders under the hood. Mercedes puts its V12 in the S-Class, while the GLS soldiers on with the V8. Let the tears made of money flow for the lack of the additional four cylinders. At least everything else is largely equivalent. The GLS Edition 100 gets painted in the same Designo Crystal White and Silver Grey Pearl two-tone paint scheme. YouÂ’ll find the “Edition 100” Maybach logo on the D-pillar of the GLS. Plus, the logo makes another appearance on the stunning forged grey wheels. The interior of the GLS Edition 100 is also similar to the S-Class, in that itÂ’s finished with a special leather design that is also two-tone in nature with Crystal White and Silver Grey Pearl hides. Everybody who buys one of these Edition 100 cars gets a unique branded car cover and a special case meant to store keys and the carÂ’s paperwork. Pricing isnÂ’t detailed, but Mercedes says Edition 100 cars will be at dealers at the start of 2022 — orders will be taken in the fourth quarter of this year. Related video:
