UNFORTUNATE DISCLAIMER PLEASE READ EVERY WORD OF THIS LISTING BEFORE CONSIDERING THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU.
AFTER 1500 POSITIVE TRANSACTIONS I JUST RECEIVED BAD FEEDBACK FROM A BUYER WHO PURCHASED A CUSTOM TRUCK FROM ME FOR A VERY LOW PRICE. IT PROBABLY WOULD COST THREE TIMES AS MUCH TO BUILD THE TRUCK. I LISTED IT WITH THE PROS AND CONS INCLUDING OVER 5K IN IMPROVEMENTS. THE BUYER STARTED CALLING ME AND DEMANDING MONEY PRIOR TO EVEN RECEIVING THE TRUCK IN HIS STATE. WHEN HE RECEIVED IT, HE MADE A OUTRIGHT CASH DEMAND FOR 1500 DOLLARS "OR ELSE". HIS LIST OF COMPLAINTS INCLUDED A MISSING SCREW IN HEADLINER, A SMALL "WHINING" NOISE IN THE TRANSMISSION IN THIRD GEAR, AND A NON WORKING TURN SIGNAL BULB. THIS AFTER HAVING ALREADY NEGOTIATED THE PRICE DOWN 1000.00 PRIOR TO BUYING IT. HE THEN TOLD ME I SHOULD HAVE LISTED THE TRUCK AS A "PROJECT" IF I KNEW THE HEADLINER BRACKET WAS MISSING ONE SCREW, AND THAT IT NEEDED A TURN SIGNAL BULB. THIS GUY TAUGHT ME A LESSON FOR FUTURE LISTINGS, AND THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION IS RESPONSIVE TO THIS PERSON. YOUTUBE VIDEO 1 http://youtu.be/5B5HmvP8b-c YOUTUBEVIDEO 2 http://youtu.be/m227Y2_uLXs YOU ARE BIDDING ON A SL 500 MERCEDES FROM THE YEAR 2003.

Experience the New York Auto Show by drone
Fri, Apr 10 2015The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.

Weekly Recap: Automakers rethink the definition of luxury
Sat, Jan 17 2015Variety is the spice of life, but it's becoming a prerequisite for luxury carmakers in the ultra-competitive US market. The Detroit Auto Show was strong evidence of this reality. It's not enough to offer attractive and well-appointed cars and SUVs anymore. Luxury brands that want to be competitive need to invest in everything from high-powered supercars to clever hybrids. To be relevant, you need to be green and mean – and everything in between. As General Motors product chief Mark Reuss said after the reveal of the 640-horsepower Cadillac CTS-V: "We are not leaving anything on the table." He was speaking for Cadillac, but he might as well have been speaking for the luxury car market. The CTS-V debuted in Detroit about an hour after Lexus surprised showgoers with the reveal of the RC F GT3 race car and then announced ambitious plans to return to competitive racing. That almost overshadowed the fact Lexus had just revealed another potent addition to its growing F line, the 467-hp GS F. View 20 Photos But for luxury brands, it's not just about maximum horsepower for well-heeled enthusiasts or decadent amenities for the Grey Poupon set. Strong competition from all corners has forced automakers to refine and expand their lineups in ways unforeseen even a few years ago. Case in point: Mercedes-Benz finally has an answer to the BMW X6, rolling out the GLE coupe in Detroit. The X6, which blends coupe-like styling cues with some of the functionality of an SUV, debuted in 2008. Back then it was a punchline, but seven years and more than 260,000 sales later, the X6's success has compelled Benz to respond. Mercedes – one of the strongest proponents of diesel technology – also debuted the C350 plug-in hybrid sedan, which promises a range of 20 miles on electricity, though fuel economy figures were not announced. The car pairs Mercedes' well-received 208-hp turbocharged four-cylinder with an electric motor for total output of 275 hp and 443 pound-feet of torque. Meanwhile, Infiniti will add the Q30 hatchback to its lineup by the end of the year, new president Roland Kruger reiterated in Detroit. It's expected to be joined by a crossover variant, and the additions will help strengthen Infiniti in the United States and abroad. "While we're expanding our product line, we're also expanding our market reach," he said. That's something echoed by Jaguar executives, who are preparing to launch the brand's first crossover, the F-Pace, in 2016.
Mercedes testing C-Class plug-in hybrid modes in Germany
Wed, 07 May 2014Testing appears to be underway for what would be the first Mercedes-Benz C-Class with a hybrid powertrain. We can see a pair of the prototypes undergoing testing in Germany, with one, a C-Class Wagon, still heavily clad in camouflage and featuring a more noticeable outlet on the passenger side of its rear bumper.
There's also a more production-looking sedan, which features a not-so-discreet flap over its rear-bumper outlet. It's difficult to speculate on power outputs for this fuel-sipping C-Class, although our spies seem to think that this car will feature some combination of a four-cylinder gas engine with an electric motor, although just which four is unclear (note, we wouldn't mind if MB fit its 2.0-liter turbo with some batteries and motors). Regardless, the four-pot/electric motor seems like a pretty reasonable combo, although it probably means that Mercedes won't be challenging the six-cylinder-powered system of the BMW ActiveHybrid3 any time soon.
When the plug-in C-Class arrives later this year as a 2015 model, it will likely offer a full range of driving modes, including both gas or electric, only, as well as a more traditional hybrid mode.
