Fi
rst 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

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla firmware update videos, Mercedes S500 Plug-In Hybrid

Tue, Sep 16 2014

See the Tesla Model S with Firmware 6.0 in action in new videos from Teslarati. The large software update includes improved traffic-based navigation, a calendar function, updated power management, "Location-Based Smart Air Suspension" as well as other improvements. Drivers get more route options to save energy, and more control over how the car saves energy. The car can also remember ride height settings when driving in those same locations again. Additionally, you can start and drive the car without a key, just using the smartphone app. See how it all works in the videos below, the second of which focuses on pairing with the updated phone app. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has deemed ride-hailing app Uber's carpooling service illegal. The way the UberPool service is categorized by the CPUC, charging multiple riders separate fares for a single ride runs afoul of the law. The technical details are a bit convoluted, and what supporters could deem arbitrary, but Forbes delves into the details a bit further to try to make sense of California's intentions (even considering the possibility of other ride services, such as airport shuttle companies, fueling the fire). Lyft - which operates a similar service called LyftLine - and Sidecar have also received notices from the CPUC. Read more at Forbes. China's recent enthusiasm for electric vehicles could be largely attributed to a single person, Ma Kai. After the Politburo member was named vice premier, he encouraged maintaining and increasing EV subsidies when China sought to decrease them. He also seems ready to fight for more EV deregulation to encourage more clean vehicles. Read more about Ma Kai and what he's done for China's EV legislation at Automotive News. Mercedes-Benz begins deliveries of the S500 Plug-In Hybrid this month. The high-tech luxury PHEV features energy saving modes based on driver, route and traffic, and features a haptic accelerator that can signal when the driver should ease off to save power. It's powered by a biturbocharged V6 and 85-kW electric motor. Its 8.7-kWh battery offers about 20 miles of electric driving. The S500 plug-in starts at about $146,000.

Mercedes C111 concept in commercial spoof A Fistful of Wolves

Fri, Jan 16 2015

A Fistful of Wolves is a spoof of fashion advertising, commissioned by Mercedes-Benz to spread a cheeky word about Berlin Fashion Week. Yet, in the lampooning of sartorial gobbledygook, plenty of automotive advertising gets doused with cold water, too - like the ads that subscribe to the importance of being earnest (looking at you Matthew McConaughey and Kate Walsh), or the ones that try to convey just how unimaginably cool you'll be once you've jumped into the three-year-lease hole (looking at you, um... Mercedes-Benz and every other German luxury brand). We appreciate a brand that can make fun of itself, though. Led by Australian Justin O'Shea driving the Mercedes C111 through Berlin, it's beautiful satire as O'Shea tries to be fashion-forward while his friends go on about their daily lives, wondering why he never seems to be listening until he's offered cake, or why he's trying to walk in slow motion. Check it out in the video above. News Source: Mercedes-Benz via YouTube, Car and Driver Celebrities Humor Marketing/Advertising Mercedes-Benz Coupe Concept Cars Videos spoof

Jay Leno listens to the people, shows off still-stock 1972 Mercedes 300 SEL 6.3

Tue, Jan 27 2015

Let it be known, Jay Leno is a man of the people. Long-time viewers will recall the time he walked fans of his popular video series around the various projects going on in his eponymous garage. One such vehicle was his 1972 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3, which he'd planned on fitting with the powertrain from the awesome SLS AMG. But rather than just make the move and be done with it, Leno asked viewers whether he should restore the silver sedan or carry on with his plan to resto-mod. Well, the restoration team won, and the 6.3-liter sports sedan soldiers on unmolested. That is, of course, no bad thing, according to Leno. In his latest video, he revisits the 1972 luxury sedan, and takes it for a spin around Los Angeles. Fans of Mercedes' big-grilled 1970s styling won't want to miss this video.
