One Owner From New in 2007 - Largely Highway Miles - Dealer Serviced w/ Records
Please Wait For All Pictures To Load!

This fantastic SL550 was purchased in 2007 by a dear friend of mine with about three thousand miles on it (Mercedes-Benz factory rep car from new). Due to unforseen circumstances on her end, the car came in to me as a trade last month. I don't usually deal in late model sports and exotics, but my personal connection to the car from almost new and knowing the level of care that this car has always seen made it easy for me to help her out with a suitable replacement.

As you can tell from all of my photos, this car did not lack for care and attention throughout its life - it spent very few nights outside a very tight southeastern US garage and only then when it was out on a long road trip up and down the east coast. It was almost always dealer serviced apart from a couple sets of Michelins and a handful of oil changes. Most recently, it received new motor mounts and a full brake job at the Augusta, GA dealership - a complete file of service records detailing all work comes with the car.

The car wears all of its original paint save for a complete rear bumper respray when it was new and a complete front bumper repair and respray just weeks ago in one of my restoration shops - the bumper was removed, parking lot scrapes underneath (necessitating the repair) were correctly fixed and the bumper refitted.

You only see flash glare here and below, no damage, sorry for these glints of light.

All panel gaps are perfect as you would expect, the convertible top and electronic open/close trunk lid works perfectly as well.

You will note my PA dealer plate - yes, I reside in Richmond, VA but have an arrangement with a PA dealer friend of mine - as I do not need a dealer lot for the majority of my business I have a license with him instead. See all the way at the bottom for the complete explanation.

The inside of the trunk compartment is perfect, the protective shelf keeps excess load from impeding the closing of the trunk lid or convertible roof. The custom-made windshield sun shade is also included with the car.

You can see the flaps for the tonneau cover for when the top is open inside the deck lid.

As is becoming clear, this is not your average SL550!

There are no door dings or other imperfections in the bodywork, either. We just sent the car out for a full detailing inside and out and it cleans up like a one-year-old car.

Now, let's do a walk-around with the top down!

The real lines of this car emerge with its fully disappearing retractable hardtop.

The windscreen at the rear of the passenger compartment folds down manually but is a great help at speed if you believe a convertible should be driven top-down at all times (as long as weather permits)!

Close-up of the windscreen.

Putting the top back up for a moment, note the panoramic glass roof and the tinted back window, a great look.

From the inside with the sunshades pulled.

The beautiful view out if you just don't want the wind in your hair that day!

The original Bi-Xenon headlamps are chip, fade and fog free!

These have NOT been replaced!

All four original AMG 18" alloys are straight with nearly new Michelin Z rated rubber - I just perfected the balance on all four on a Hunter Road Force balancer. Note the new brake rotors and pads all the way around done last year along with a full system fluid flush.

The right front rim has a small scuff on it from a tire changer, but no curb rash.

Putting the top back down, let's take a serious look inside...

The car's desirable options include the extra wood trim, heated and cooled full power memory seats, BOSE audio with Mercedes-Benz COMAND Navigation and much more - a great set of creature comforts.

The seats are perfect on both sides, a testament to careful lady ownership!

In addition to heating and cooling, this switch on both seats allows for adjustable bolstering, lumbar support and massage!

The dashboard and center console are perfect with little to no fading to wood, leather and other materials.

Close-up here of the switchgear including the AMG Active Body Control Sport button, the ride height button, mirror controls, convertible top control, climate control and the Keyless Start button on the shifter - you can but do not have to put the key in the ignition slot - just leave it in your pocket.

Navigation and climate control on!

In the center armrest, the latest Mercedes Bluetooth "puck" compatible with all current Android and iPhones, this integrates with the COMAND system.

The steering wheel also has paddle shifters, controls for audio, phone and the display on the instruments.

Present mileage as of today, mileage may go up slightly during the listing at my discretion.

Close-up of the steering wheel, it's immaculate.

Just lovely in one side and out the other!

The original door jamb stickers are clearly all present!

This factory CD changer is in the cubby behind the driver's seat.

The owners manual (and the cover for the Bluetooth adapter in the armrest!) are behind the passenger's seat.

The entire original owners packet is with the car, complete with the original...

Window Sticker!

$109,185 new!

Both original keys just got new batteries.

This car also comes with this rare factory accessory fitted luggage bag that fits over the "hump" and uses the retracting straps in the rear panel. Really a neat piece!

Driver's door panel is just as nice as the passenger's side!

The overhead console has the Homelink garage door opener in the electrochromatic rear view mirror, dome lamps and the microphone for the Bluetooth phone.

Under the hood, the immaculate engine compartment with the gorgeous 5.5 litre V8 engine.

Both starting and main batteries were also replaced recently, genuine MB, of course.

Truly a well-serviced car!

While physically located in Richmond, VA, this automobile is being sold under the license of a Licensed Independent Used Car Dealership in the State of Pennsylvania. There are many complications in dealing with the sale of used automobiles, even special interest and collector cars such as this phenomenal Mercedes-Benz.

Accepted forms of payment include cash on pickup, cleared certified cheque in my or the dealership's bank account or a wire transfer. Our documents charge is an additional $99 for title transfer, documents preparation and Priority/Express Mail to you on receipt of payment. ***I will waive the documents charge as an added bonus at the Buy it Now price.*** Pennsylvania residents MUST pay sales tax to the dealership in addition to your purchase price just as you would to the tag office or any other automobile dealer.

There will likewise be no exceptions to this otherwise. I am happy to help if you have special needs and will refer you to transporters I have used in the course of doing business if you need help.

Mercedes-Benz releases US-spec 2014 Sprinter details

Mon, 06 May 2013

Last week, Mercedes-Benz released the details for the updated 2013 Sprinter intended for global markets, but this week it has announced what changes are being made to the US-spec version of the van for the 2014 model year, including the Freightliner model. As expected, most of the changes made to the European model will be present on the 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter when it goes on sale in the US, which is expected to be this fall.
The biggest difference between the Sprinter announced last week and the one headed to our shores is what is found under the hood. While European Sprinters will come with diesel engines and offer the availability of a supercharged four-cylinder gasoline or CNG engine, US Sprinters will still offer the 3.0-liter V6 BlueTEC diesel. This year's Sprinter now comes standard with a new base engine, the 2.1-liter four-cylinder BlueTEC diesel. This smaller engine will produce 161 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque, and will be paired to a seven-speed automatic transmission; the optional 3.0 V6 puts out 188 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, and will be mated to a six-speed auto.
Fuel economy for the new Sprinter has not been announced, but Mercedes-Benz has made numerous changes with the goal of improving efficiency. To this end you'll find a new, low-friction rear axle and the optimization for the generator, fuel pump and power steering pump.

Daimler opens the door on Car2go Black with B-Class carsharing

Sun, Feb 9 2014

Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler has finally decided to go to its proverbial mothership to further expand its Car2go carsharing service in Europe. The German automaker has long used its itty-bitty Smart Fortwo vehicles for the program, but now it's kicking off a pilot program called Car2go Black that will share Mercedes-Benz B-Class models in Berlin and Hamburg. Daimler will deploy 100 B-Class diesels in each German city. The company says the cars will be parked at so-called "black" parking spots and won't have to be returned to the same spot when the user is done. Daimler, who says the reservation platform is geared for smartphone use, is planning to expand the program to other European cities with existing Car2go service starting this spring. That's important, since once the system is up an running, you will be able to drive a Car2go Black vehicle from one town in the network to another and not need to bring it back. Car2go first started operations in Ulm, Germany, and made its North American debut in Austin, TX, in 2009. The service now has more than 600,000 members worldwide with access to about 10,000 Fortwos in 25 cities throughout Europe and North America. Car2go chief marketing officer J. Paul DeLong said last month that Car2go is the world's largest global carsharing company. You can check out Daimler's Car2go Black press release below. car2go black: Carsharing with the three-pointed star STUTTGART, Germany, Feb. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Daimler Mobility Services offers carsharing with Mercedes-Benz vehicles for the first time Pilot Phase with 200 B-Class vehicles starts in mid- February in Hamburg and Berlin One-way trips and open-ended trips available, within and even between different cities Smartphone-based rental procedure makes usage both easy and flexible Daimler Mobility Services will soon be offering carsharing with the three-pointed star. Under the "car2go black" brand, Daimler Mobility Services GmbH will pilot a fully automated carsharing system with Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The pilot phase will begin in mid-February in Hamburg and Berlin. In the initial pilot phase, select car2go members in those locations can use a network of 200 black B-Class models on short notice. The vehicles can be rented at dedicated reserved parking stations, and do not have to be returned to the same dedicated parking station that the vehicle rental originated from.

Autoblog's Editors' Picks: Our complete list of the best new vehicles

Mon, May 13 2024

It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.
