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. IT HAS 74000 ORIGINAL MILES ACCORDING TO THE TITLE WHICH IS STILL MARKED "ACTUAL" MILES. I ALSO CHECKED CARFAX AND IT OF COURSE REFLECTS LESS, SINCE LAST TIME MILES WERE REGISTERED. THIS IS A ALMOST 12 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. IT HAS NOT BEEN IN MY POSSESSION FOR THOSE 12 YEARS. PLEASE SEND A RETIRED FIREMAN, OR A TRUSTED RELATIVE, OR A SCHOOL TEACHER, OR CALL INSPECT MY RIDE, (ONLINE THIRD PARTY INSPECTION COMPANY WHO WILL SEND AN INSPECTOR TO GIVE YOU A REPORT) OR COME YOUR SELF, OR ANY OTHER OPTION THAT IS AVAILABLE TO YOU TO SEE THIS VEHICLE FOR YOURSELF PRIOR TO PURCHASING IT, IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER EXPECTATION THAN A 12 YEAR OLD CAR. THIS CAR, HAS IMPERFECTIONS. IT HAS LITTLE DINGS. IT HAS MINOR SCRATCHES, OR SCRATCHES DUE TO WEAR. IT IS NOT PERFECT. IT MAY HAVE A LITTLE NOISE HERE AND THERE THAT WAS NOT PRESENT THE DAY THE FIRST OWNER PAID 80K FOR IT AND TOOK IT OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP. PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT A NEW CAR THIS IS NOT. THIS IS A NICE USED CAR. IT IS A MERCEDES BENZ IT IS NOT A TOYOTA. I RECENTLY READ SOMETHING THAT MADE A LOT OF SENSE, IF YOU CANT AFFORD TO MAINTAIN SOMETHING DONT OWN IT. PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT A $60.00 BRAKE JOB, OR A $19.00 DOLLAR OIL CHANGE ON A SL500 MERCEDES. ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU WILL IT, OR WISH IT TO BE TRUE.

MERCEDES CALLS THIS COLOR BLACK PEARL OPAL OR BLACK OPAL. THE TITLE ACCURATELY REFLECTS IT AS BLACK. IT LOOKS DARK BLUE TO ME, AND IN SUNLIGHT THE METAL FLAKE AND THE PEARL MAKE IT SEEM BLUE GREEN TO ME. BUT WHAT DO I KNOW. PLEASE LOOK AT PICS IN BRIGHT SUN. THE RIMS HAVE NORMAL ROAD RASH FOR THEIR AGE, AND THEY ARE AMG WHEELS. THE TIRES SEEM TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION AND APPEAR TO BE AT LIKE 70 PERCENT OF WEAR. PLEASE DO NOT HOLD ME TO IT. THEY LOOK GOOD I DID NOT TAKE A PRECISION TOOL TO MEASURE TREAD. PLEASE ASSUME YOU NEED TIRES IF THIS DESCRIPTION IS NOT SATISFACTORY. THE VEHICLE RUNS AND DRIVES WELL FOR A 74K MILE, 12 YEAR OLD CAR. IT DOES NOT DRIVE LIKE A 2014 MERCEDES. IT IS A 2003.

Weekly Recap: An '80s encore in the auto world
Sat, Jul 11 2015The '80s returned in a big way this week, as National Lampoon's, Ghostbusters, Miami Vice, and even Tetris were back in the news. While there were far more serious topics (see below), nostalgia mingled with modern marketing to put these Reagan-era favorites back in the spotlight. The '80s were alternately cold and corny at times, but their cultural touchstones can still generate big money. That's why Infiniti recreated an iconic scene from National Lampoon's Vacation (1983) for an advertisement that hawks the QX60 crossover. Actor Ethan Embry, who played Rusty Griswold in a later Lampoon's movie, pilots the Infiniti – which is serving as a modern Family Truckster – for a trip to Walley World. A blonde pulls alongside in a red Lamborghini. They flirt, and she drives on. Christie Brinkley, who played the original girl in the red sports car (she drove a Ferrari in the '83 flick), is riding shotgun and chides Embry with: "A blonde. In a convertible. Seriously?" Okay, it's hardly on the level of "here's looking at you," or even "you can't handle the truth," but it should resonate with '80s babies, many of whom are now having children of their own and moving into three-row SUVs like the QX60. Naturally, Hollywood is going back to the well, too, with a Vacation remake that premiers July 29. Meanwhile, Ghostbusters is returning next year, and director Paul Feig offered a peak at the new Eco-1 in this tweet. In the 1984 classic, the team drove a modified 1959 Cadillac. Now, it will drive a late '80s Cadillac. As expected, the announcement generated support and controversy from movie and car enthusiasts. His tweet had generated several thousand retweets and favorites in the days following the news. Though the '80s Caddy looks, uh, less elegant in comparison to the now-iconic fins and curves of the original Ecto-1, it's about the same time lapse into the past as the '59 Caddy was to viewers in 1984. Speaking of 1984, Miami Vice, which debuted that year on NBC, is seeing one of its hero cars hit the auction block, Mecum Auctions announced this week. The 1986 Ferrari used on the show will be offered for sale Aug. 15 during Monterey classic car week. The white supercar runs a 390-hp flat 12-cylinder engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission and was in storage after the show ended in 1989 until earlier this year. It has 16,124 miles on the odometer and is authenticated by Ferrari North America and Classiche.
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.
