2007 Mercedes Benz Sl55 Amg on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
|
Hi everyone. This is my first time selling on ebay. I am a private seller wanting to sell a very high end vehicle to a discerning class of person. I am not a dealer. I have a 2007 Mercedes Benz SL55 AMG for sale, even though deep down I do not truly want to. I am in the process of purchasing a ranch in the Texas hill country and this is a sensible next step for me. This car was built to impress both visually and physically, and it does. Garage kept its entire life, and never driven in anything but sunshine. All maintenance kept religiously at Mercedes using Mercedes parts. The condition and past upkeep of this car makes the asking price very fair. I purchased this car from the original owner, a friend of mine I've known for a while. The original price he paid was $128,000, but after he was finished buying every upgrade he could., he spent over $148,000. It has been driven rarely, only on sunny days, and has always been kept in a climate controlled garage. Although it can move, this car is truly about luxury. The ride is very smooth and the feel transferred through the steering wheel is very controlled and certain. The suspension was meant to handle, and it does so very well, without a 'sport's car trade-off' found with comparable vehicles. The interior almost seems to embrace you softly while driving but not so much to where you feel like you're in a race car. There are several modes for the transmission- normal, winter, and manual so no matter the surface, it grips the road. It features: 19" Chrome wheels, Premium Leather Seating, Sport Steering Wheel, Aluminum Interior Trim, 10-speaker audio system, Silver-face AMG instruments with red needles, Leather power bucket seats with great torso bolstering, Distronic auto-distancing cruise control so you don't have to constantly be 'coasting' with a button because of varying speeds of cars around you, Parktronic proximity warning system, and many other features too numerous to list here. The pearl white paint underscores the word luxury, but as it was designed to be, the AMG variant means it can move should you wish to. Here are just a few of the performance features: 510 horsepower at 6100 rpm, 516 pound-feet of torque with a flat curve from 2650 to 4500 rpm. It's the most potent Benz ever offered in North America and also the quickest factory Benz with 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds, 0 to 100 in 10.9, the quarter-mile in 13 seconds flat at 110 mph. Whether your goal in owning a car is by class or performance, you're covered on both fronts. You are responsible for all transportation and/or delivery charges. The vehicle is sold 'as is', with no warranty available from me, but you can buy aftermarket ones found online or elsewhere. I'm happy to field any questions you might have. Please let me know. Local interested parties in the Houston, TX. area are welcome to view it at a mutually agreed upon location (whether permitting). Just give me a call to set that up...281.413.5614. I intend to remove my license plates and registration stickers upon sale completion. Upon selecting to buy now, you will need to contact me personally within 48 hours and also make a non-refundable deposit of $500.00 in my PAYPAL account within that time frame as well. After that, remaining balance will need to be paid to me within 7 days with one of the following:
...and must clear my bank before I will release the title/vehicle. Any, 'my father is a Prince from Narutu in exile and I want to buy this car and ship to him for his birthday' scam'ers need not waste your time. Obviously, by not doing any of the above will result in reporting to Ebay and with negative feedback to help other sellers. Thank you. |

2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA priced from $31,300*
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Mercedes-Benz has kindly let loose the price of the 2015 GLA-Class, telling Autoblog.com that the base 208-horsepower GLA250 in two-wheel drive will go for $31,300 *not including a destination charge of $925. That makes for $32,225 in total to get one off the lot, a price predicted as early as last year and in our recent First Drive. The other two available models can push power to all four wheels, and after the destination fee is applied the GLA240 4Matic (pictured) will be $34,225 while the 355-horsepower GLA45 AMG will change lives and wallets to the tune of $49,225.
On the base scale, that puts the GLA250 just a few hundred dollar bills above the more powerful, rear-wheel drive BMW X1 and a stack of hundreds below the less powerful, front-wheel drive Audi Q3. If you're keeping in-house score, the GLA250 comes in at $1,400 above its sedan platform-mate with the same engine, the CLA250. At the high end, however, the competition doesn't have anything that can touch the AMG trim. Not that it should matter all that much - Mercedes needed something to keep these buyers in the family, and now they have it. If any of them should need even more power and more money spent, then there's always that 394-hp Brabus flavor. We'll have more info and details on each trim when Mercedes unleashes the shebang in the not-too-distant future.
Mercedes says it's tops in luxury sales for 2012, not BMW
Tue, 19 Feb 2013It turns out that Mercedes-Benz North America has legitimate claim to being the top selling luxury nameplate in the US in 2012.
While sources such as Autodata had put BMW in the top spot, registration data from R.L. Polk shows that Mercedes customers registering new vehicles topped the Bavarian automaker in the most recent calendar year. Polk says Benz posted 274,123 registrations, compared with BMW's 268,498.
In terms of sales posted, BMW had bested Benz 281,460 to 274,134. But sales are recorded somewhat inconsistently from automaker to automaker. Some book the sales as soon as they are shipped from factory to dealer. There is perennial gamesmanship between the two German rivals, and the sales numbers suggest that BMW pushed out some extra sheetmetal to dealers in the last four weeks of the year.
Are future vehicular hacks inevitable?
Wed, Jul 29 2015Before the hack of the Uconnect system in a Jeep Cherokee resulted in a 1.4-million vehicle recall, the potential software vulnerabilities in vehicles were already a hot topic with Congressional inquiries and even proposed legislation in the US. As cars' interconnected systems gain the ability to go online, they become open to a host of new threats. Automakers are trying to stop this, but it might be too late to put the genie back into the bottle. Throughout 2015, the issue of software security in vehicles has become increasingly vital. For example, the recent Jeep case wasn't even the biggest hack this year. In February, a major flaw was discovered in the BMW Connected Drive service that allowed researchers to remotely lock and unlock the doors and potentially affected 2.2 million cars. The fix was an over-the-air patch for the problem. Automakers are actively working to fix the issues. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi reportedly are using encrypted connections and firewalls in their vehicles to prevent hacking. "Absolute, 100-percent safety isn't possible," Daimler spokesperson Benjamin Oberkersch said to Automotive News Europe. "But we develop our systems, tested by internal and external experts, so they're up to date." These vulnerabilities seem to be popping up more often. A successful hack took $14 in parts from Radio Shack in one case. There was also a 60 Minutes report earlier in the year about DARPA's ability to hack into OnStar to take control of a Chevrolet Impala. Experts aren't so sure companies can contend with hackers' advancement. "The difficulty for the carmakers at the moment is the question whether they can keep pace with advances in technology, and especially hacking technology," Rainer Scholz, executive director for telematics consultant EY, said to Automotive News Europe. "We seriously doubt they can." At this point, vehicle hacks are coming more from researchers looking for holes than from those with malicious intent. Still, the vulnerabilities are definitely there. It's up to automakers to keep patching the problems before they become dangerous to drivers.
