Let me introduce you to Max. My Mercedes SL500 2001 AMG 2 door Convertible which i am reluctantly putting up For Sale due to relocating to Ireland. This low Millage (61500miles) Mercedes Sports car is becoming a Mercedes Classic with many people starting to view them as collectors if in great condition. I bought this car last year and would love to keep it as absolutely love driving it, the 5.0V8 engine is incredibly power full and incredibly smooth. I have carried out some repairs to it since i bought it which are common on these models:
1) Alternator and Serpentine Belt & Idler & pulley replaced
2) Engine & Gearbox serviced with new oil & filters
3) Convertible roof Hydraulic cylinders removed and replaced as they are common for leakage
4) Repaired brocken vacuum pipes in central locking system
5) Replaced Broken center dash Air vent controls

The car comes as Standard with the AMG 2 Kit, that includes the AMG Alloys Bumpers & side skirts. The seats are in great condition with no rips or tears, the drivers seat has some light wear, cracking of the leather from getting in and out but the cushions and bolsters have not lost their original shape. It comes with factory extras such as Xenon Head lights, Heated seats, Auto dimming Mirrors, Garage/Gate opening/close function and factory built in phone kit, although the phone system is obviously very out of date in regards to technology.
Comes with factory Hard top which is also in very good condition.
Comes with OEM windscreen Sun Deflector and aftermarket canvas car cover

The paintwork is in great condition with no signs of paintwork discolour and no Lacquer deterioration, there are a few little light scratches and a few little stone chips but no more than you could expect on 13 year old car.

the Vin number is WDBFA68F61F195960. The Carfax is clean and on inspection shows that earlier in its life there was significant repairs carried out by Mercedes while still under warranty, for example a new gearbox and ECU with remapping and Diagnostics completed showing the repairs to be successful. I have put approximately 4000miles on this vehicle since buying it last year, the car fax shows prior to that it has had 3 private owners and then shows 3 commercial owners, in other word dealers and at one point an Liquidation company, i assumed a previous owner had gone bankrupt and the car was taken as an asset.

The tyres are in good shape however are probably about 3/4 worn, if i was to keep it i would have been aiming to change then in approximately another 5000mile time. Brakes are the same, so unless you plan on doing high miles you wont have to do anything but drive and enjoy this amazing car for another year or 2.

I am asking $16950.00 for this car as it is my pride and joy and is ready to drive with no expense other than re registering in your name. It is a great car and who ever is lucky enough to own it next will enjoy every minute of it.

Genesis G70 vs sport sedan rivals: How it compares on paper

Fri, Sep 15 2017

We got our first look at the Genesis G70 sport sedan today. We think it looks good, with enough ties to its fellow Genesises (Geneses?) to further establish the brand and just enough distinction to help it stand out from the crowd. But ah yes, the crowd. Although Genesis didn't release the G70's full spec sheet, it revealed just enough for us to start sizing it up to its future competition. There are certainly others with which to compare (Lexus IS, Cadillac ATS, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Jaguar XE just to name a few), but we decided to take a look at the best sellers and most competitive luxury sport sedans. (And hey, if you like this, we can always do a follow up) So, here we have the Genesis G70 vs BMW 3 Series vs Audi A4 / S4 vs Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs Infiniti Q50. Nothing like a good chart to dig your teeth into on a Friday. Note that we only compared those models that line up with the G70. So, we left out the BMW 320i and Audi A4 Ultra entry level models as well as the Q50 3.0t mid-grade model that's considerably cheaper than the German performance upgrade models we listed. All 0-60 figures are rough estimates based on several sources, models/drivetrains and OEM figures.

Man makes record-setting drive across the US in 28 hours, 50 minutes

Fri, 01 Nov 2013

Records, as the say, are made to be broken. Whether that's cramming the most hot dogs down your gullet, running a faster mile, or yes, driving across the United States, odds are that there's someone out there wants to eat more, run faster or drive harder. Speaking of that last example, the record for driving from a set location on the east coast, in particular the Red Ball Garage in Manhattan to the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach, CA, has been one that has fascinated gearheads since a guy named Cannonball Baker made the trek from New York to LA in 53 hours, 30 minutes, in 1933.
The competition saw its glory days when Car and Driver's Brock Yates came up with the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash (more affectionately known as the Cannonball Run), although the record was most recently set by Alex Roy and his 32-hour, seven-minute trek behind the wheel of a BMW M5 in 2006. Now, there's a new champion, who made the trip from east to west in a scarcely imaginable 28 hours and 50 minutes, behind the wheel of a 2004 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG. That's works out to an average speed of 98 miles per hour over the course of 2,813.7 miles.
His name is Ed Bolian, and Jalopnik has a writeup of the epic voyage that details everything from the history of the Cannonball Run to Bolian's preparation and trouble finding co-drivers, to the trip itself. It is well worth a read.

Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 teases gullwing doors in video

Tue, Aug 16 2016

Because these are the times we live in, automakers tease their biggest and best debuts mercilessly before finally dropping the curtain. That's why we're writing about the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Concept again. Here's a new video, posted on Mercedes' Instagram page, showing even more of the hulking two-door coupe. For one, it looks like Mercedes is revisiting gullwing doors. There's a brief snippet of the doors in the open position with a red light – possibly a brake light Â– bisecting the roof. The video also gives us a couple of good looks at the taillights, which are super-model skinny, just like the lamps up front. Look close at the rear three-quarter cut, and you'll spot a strong chrome strip that accentuates and breaks up those beefy rear haunches. It's hard to tell where they fit in with the chrome strips on the front fenders and hood, so we'll probably need to wait until the big debut to see how it all works out. As we've said twice already, the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 debuts on August 18. Stay tuned. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.
