2003 Mercedes Sl55 Amg Silver Dipped In Matte White on 2040-cars
North Hollywood, California, United States
BEAUTIFUL Matte White 2003 SL55 AMG. *** This is a beautiful car that always receives looks & compliments. NO ONE can believe it's a 2003. - EXTREME Performance - V8 Supercharged Engine - Factory 493HP with 516lb of torque. 0-60 in only 4.5 Seconds. - AMG - Hand Made, better suspension, brakes, power and more. - Hard Top Convertible, retracts down in only 16 seconds First the not NOT so good: The car has a Salvage title and I bought it as such. I have pictures of the car prior to repairs, which are when the car is showing in silver car (I had it dipped in matte white since). I have fixed everything on the car and it drives beautifully. The SRS light is on because the driver side Knee airbag I did not replace. It costs about $300 to $500 and you can find it here on Ebay. I did not replace it because I did not think its necessary or provides any additional essential safety measure. Some codes do appear about rear lamps because some of the LED bulbs are out. The lights still work perfectly fine, but it shows a code because if any one of the LED is out it shows up. When I replaced the driver Airbag the replacement came in Charcoal color, and the rest of the interior is Black. I had it professionally sprayed but it does have some chipping as can be seen in pictures. If it bothers you, you can have it resprayed again or replace it with a Black one. The front bumper has two small cracks as seen in pictures. I do not recommend replacing it as its very expensive, and cracks easily if you're not very careful. I cracked it by parking over those small parking bricks. It hardly shows and the dip rubbery paint covers it up beautifully. The Good: The car has over $6,000 in performance upgrades per prior owner. He said he had upgraded the crank or drive shaft to a performance one which cost around $4,000. Also he had upgraded the suspension to make it more suitable for canyon driving through sharp turns. All in all he said he spent over $6K in these upgrades. The car drives beautifully and has unbelievable power. I tried to take photos as close as possible to show how beautiful the body works. It does not have any door dings and looks almost brand new. The car came with 19" Black series wheels which I still have. These wheels are very hard to come by and sell for upwards of $4,000 if you can find them. The passenger side front wheel is damaged from the collision it had sustained, but can still be driven on. I drove it on these wheels for about 2 months before changing. I personally do not like the way they look so I changed it to 20" XO Miami wheels. I have owned the car for a year now and have not had any issues with it. Only reason I am selling the car is because I am having twins and need a bigger car. I held on to it as long as I can, and my twins are due in July, so I am selling it now. If you're the winner of the Auction and would like the Black Series wheels along with the car I'll sell them for $2,000 additional. The car is located in Los Angeles, CA and I have the title on hand. I will entertain reasonable offers and reserve the right to end auction early. You are welcome to come test drive the car or send your mechanic/trusted party to inspect/test drive it. Please email me with any questions and bid only if you're serious about buying. Payments Methods accepted - $1,000 within 24 hours of auction end - If you write a check you will have to wait until it clears for Title and Car - Your bank can wire my bank the money - OR Cash in hand |

Mon, 19 Aug 2013LA To The Grand Canyon In The Mercedes-Benz Of RVs
Piloting an 8,500-pound motorized house down the highway is far from my idea of fun, yet inexplicably, I'm enjoying myself. My grin has nothing to do with my camper's handling, as this heavily accoutered Mercedes-Benz Sprinter drives like a 25-foot long breadbox. My smile has nothing to do with on-road stability, as the ten-foot-tall, slab-sided vehicle reacts to wind gusts like the vertical stabilizer on a Boeing jet. My delight has nothing to do with its throttle or braking response, either, as both are as numb as your forehead after the eighth beer.
This monstrosity makes me happy for one reason - my passengers are undeniably having a good time.
Recharge Wrap-up: Venturi seeks funding for speed record, Kia partners on V2G
Sat, Jun 4 2016Venturi Automobiles has started a crowdfunding campaign to help break an EV speed record. Venturi's goal, with the help of The Ohio State University, is to set a new FIA World Speed Record for Battery Powered Electric Vehicles of over 7000 pounds with its VBB-3. Venturi set the current record at 307 miles per hour, but wants to exceed that this September at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Funders can score merchandise like T-shirts, miniature models, and even their name on the side of the car. Learn more at Venturi Automobiles' Kickstarter page. Kia is providing six Soul EVs to UC Irvine's Advanced Power and Energy Program (APEP). APEP is using the electric vehicles for the development of vehicle-to-grid technology and smart charging systems. Kia says the collaboration is helpful in its goals of expanding EVs over the next five years. "Grid-connected electric vehicles offer tremendous potential in terms of energy storage and dispersion during high-demand periods," says Kia VP of Product Planning Orth Hedrick, "and Kia is excited to collaborate with APEP in the study and development of advanced smart grid technologies."

Now, with its new brand, the company looks to expand to the global market. "By founding Mercedes-Benz Energy GmbH, we are underscoring our ambition to be a technological and market leader in the field of highly efficient storage systems," says Daimler's Harald Kroger. "With our unique combination of high standards of quality and safety and positive economies of scale, we are supporting the success of the new energy era while helping to make electromobility affordable." Read more in the press release below.

Within this innovative line of business, the newly established Mercedes-Benz Energy GmbH is assuming the development and global sale of Mercedes-Benz brand stationary energy storage with immediate effect.
