A piece of automotive history! Jeremy Clarkson, Steve Jobs, and Michael Jordan have all owned one of these. Simply one of Mercedes best! This SL55 is spectacular. I have owned it for 4 years or so. I've babied it, never winter driven, and always kept up on maintenance and repairs. I am a Master-Certified mechanic and I own and operate a high-end automotive repair facility (do a web search for Integrity First Automotive in West Jordan, Utah). I am not and never have been a dealer and this car is my personal car. In my ownership I have (of course) kept the maintenance current. It has been stored in winters and this spring we just completed replacing both batteries, the driver's headlight ignitor, and a headlight washer. Just today we performed an oil and filter service (using the recommend Mobil 1 oil of course). Other service in my ownership include: fuel pump and filter, drive belts, trans fluid and filter service, rear brakes (pads and rotors), active body control (ABC) system fluid flush and filter change (VERY important for MB ABC cars), filters, oil changes, etc. I have owned this car for the last 20k miles or so. I bought it from a local used car dealer here in Utah - he claims it came from Walnut Creek CA. The pictures should do the talking - it is very, very nice. There is the odd stone chip here and there in the paint but very few - a couple have been touched up on the driver's fender. I dare-not say there are no scratches or dents but if they are there they are very hard to see - the body and paintwork is a 9+ on a 1-10 scale. The dr's seat is more worn than the passenger's and the trunk sometimes has to be slammed to close correctly. Tires are getting lower on tread but ok for now. Brakes all around are good. Engine runs like a top - as you can see in the picts the computer has no errors. Updated NAV discs included. Also included the silly cupholder for the passenger side and some netting things for cargo / I have the original manual too. I have three keys: two physical keys and an active/working keyless-go card for your wallet. Keyless-Go works great (of course). Windshield is still original. Everything performs as it should. It has never been abused / in fact I rarely use it - hence the sale (as you can see in the picts the registration expired in February but I haven't re-registered it because I haven't driven it). It was never involved in any accidents during my ownership. The autocheck report suggests that it had a minor accident before I owned it - I cannot see any evidence of this and I am a master-mechanic / I can see bodywork. The bumpers are original MB bumpers, the panels all look original, the paint is beautiful, etc, etc. If it had work done it was done very well. I'll be sad to see to go but I just don't use it and can't justify keeping it. You will absolutely love it. Local bidders are welcome to see it if an appointment is pre-arranged.

Europe getting special Mercedes-Benz CLA Edition 1

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

Last week when we saw the leaked ordering guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, one particular image caught our eye showing the interior of the new sedan with a neon yellow stripe on the seats and yellow stitching throughout the cabin. As it turns out, this will be part of a limited-edition model called the Edition 1 about which Mercedes-Benz just released some information.
Usually, automakers wait until later in a vehicle's life to introduce special models like this, but the Edition 1 will be available right out of the gate for the first 12 months the CLA-Class is on sale. The 2014 CLA-Class Edition 1 includes the more aggressive Sport package adding AMG-style fascias and wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights and a lowered suspension; it will be offered only in five colors - unfortunately, Northern Lights Purple is not one of them. In addition to the bright yellow cabin accents, the Edition 1 will get sport seats wrapped in leather and microfiber, a sporty, flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather and real aluminum trim on the instrument panel.
With no mention of the US, we're only left to imagine that this car will not be arriving on our shores, but customers in Europe will definitely be able to enjoy the mean styling and funky interior with prices ranging from 35,402 euros up to 43,940 euros.

Consumer Reports selling its road-tested roadsters [w/video]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Here's a chance to acquire a celebrity-owned vehicles, and this time at a discount instead of a premium. So the celebrity in this case is Consumer Reports, that magazine that could be equally adored and abhored by car enthusiasts. CR buys all of its test vehicles and usually finds willing second owners within its own ranks, but its opening its small used-car lot to the public. On the forecourt are four roadsters: an automatic 2012 Audi TT 2.0 TFSI Quattro S-Tronic with 6,600 miles for $36,500, a manual 2012 BMW Z4 sDrive28i with 8,400 miles for $45,000, a manual 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK250 for $39,500 and a manual 2013 Porsche Boxster with 7,000 miles for $48,000.
Those numbers mean a savings of $9,000 to $10,000 before haggling - each car is listed with an "Asking price" so there could be some wiggle room if you show up with pockets full of dough and eyes full of serious intent. Since the money CR earns from the sales go back into the magazine's budget to buy more test cars, however, it probably won't take any oddball trades, so you can forget about getting any purchasing help from that track-day AMC Javelin project on blocks in the back yard.
The vehicles have been taken care of and spiffed up for sale; buyers will take delivery at the CR test track in East Haddam, Connecticut and get a tour of the facilities. While you're there they'll even take you on a lap around the track so you can feel how your car handles when driven by one of its testers. They will probably not help you with advice on which toaster and dehumidifier to buy - you'll still need to get a subscription for that. Have a look at the video below to see a day in the life of a CR test car.
