Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ... 

Recent maintenance: brake rotors and pads, new shocks, front and rear bearings, transmission filter and flush, 2 new catalytic converters, new exhaust pipe system (from catalytic converters back), oxygen sensors, crank position sensors (they wear out around 70K miles), serpentine belt, all exterior and dash instrument lights replaced, new plugs, wires, air filter, new cabin air filter, oil change, battery 1 year old.  Included with the sale is fitted car cover, inexpensive seat covers, and various spare trim pieces for interior and exterior.

Issues:  Convertible top latch is not functioning so top can not currently be put down.  The problem is the small hydraulic cylinder which moves the latch.  The seals in this cylinder need replacing.  I have the headliner removed and have the replacement instructions and kit.  The seal kit includes seals for all hydraulic cylinders on the car plus a syringe and hose to replenish the hydraulic fluid reservoir.  Labor to replace the seals in this one cylinder is about a 2-3 hour job by someone with mechanical skills and tools.  The headliner was professionally recovered and ready to reinstall.  The interior dome light does not come on when a door opens.  It does light when the overhead switch is pressed.  The trunk CD player has been removed.  The radio is fine, but I have a new radio/CD/Bluetooth unit that will fit in exactly the same space.  It also looks nearly identical to the OEM radio.  This will be included but buyer will need to install.  There are a few minor chips and dings that aren't visible unless examined up close.  The front air dam has scratches (see photo) from people rubbing parking space blocks, but easily covered with nearly any black paint.  The glove box has scratches from a previous owner (see photo).  I think they must have carried items in the front seat that rubbed up against it or possibly a child. 

I drive this car nearly every day and have taken it on several long trips without any issues.  This is a great car that I was slowly bringing back to like new condition.  People love to compliment the car and will occasionally want to race you (hint you will probably win, but don't race because it's dangerous!).  I love having this car and it drives like a dream.  When you need to accelerate it is quick and silky smooth with a great sound.  I am selling it because I was recently laid off from my job by a boss that wanted everyone to be as miserable as him.  That's it and otherwise I would keep it.  Now I am selling this car and will soon be selling my other toys so I can travel more lightly to my next career, whatever that might be.

IMPORTANT:  Please ask any and all questions you want.  I am not going to try to sell you this car and I am an honest guy.  I will post all questions and answers.  You are welcome to test drive it.  Buyer must provide $500 deposit using PayPal within 48 hours or car will be put back up for auction.  Payment can only be in the form of cash, PayPal, or cashier check from a verifiable bank.  Buyer mush also provide name, address, and matching phone number before final payment.  Buyer is responsible for pick up or shipping of the car.  Car must fully paid for and picked up within 2 weeks of end of auction. Failure to pay or pick up after two weeks will result in refund of deposit and car will be put back up for auction.

In case you forgot, the Dubai Police supercar fleet is the coolest

Tue, Feb 10 2015

Ever wonder why the Dubai Police have a fleet of vehicles worth millions and millions and millions of dollars? Why it has a Bugatti Veyron and a Bentley Continental and a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG with sirens and light bars? Well, here's the reason. This video shows the fleet on display on the Emirate's roads and highways, while also reaching out to the people the police are meant to protect. It's an impressive display of machinery, to be sure. Alongside the Bentley, Bugatti and Mercedes, we spy a Ferrari FF, a Brabus G-Wagen, a BMW M6, a Nissan GT-R, an Audi R8 and a McLaren MP4-12C (although the latest Dubai Police car, the Lexus RC F, is absent). The video even has a very cinematic look and feel to it, which works well with the night scenes and the blues-and-twos of the exotics cruisers.

Mercedes rules out hybrid supercar, promises SLS successor

Sat, 16 Mar 2013

The recent Geneva Motor Show was a festival of hypercars, with the presence of not one, but three over-the-top debuts: the Lamborghini Veneno, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LeFerrari. The latter two have hitched their carbon fiber bumpers to the electrification bandwagon by using hybrid-electric powertrains not entirely unlike the propulsion systems we've come to know in cars like the Toyota Prius and Chevrolet Volt. Does that mean the flow of electrons up the four-wheeled food chain will eventually consume our hallowed supercars? Not if AMG has anything to say about it.
AMG Director of Vehicle Development Tobias Moers recently confirmed that not only will there be a successor to the Mercedes-Benz performance division's SLS AMG, he notes that its internal combustion engine will most definitely not be sharing living quarters with an electric drivetrain. Instead, AMG plans to focus on further pushing the power and efficiency envelope of the internal combustion engine and advancing the use of lightweight materials to achieve their goals. The first example of this effort can be seen in the new SLS AMG Black Series that incorporates many weight-saving techniques to shed some 154 pounds from the SLS AMG GT (above), which itself is lighter than the standard SLS AMG.
Furthermore, Moers remarks that his company is happy to leave the hypercar segment to companies like Ferrari and McLaren. He admits that, "Ferrari in the hyper-car segment is still a different brand than AMG. We have to be honest..." So rather than taking the SLS further upmarket to do battle with bulls and stallions, Moers hinted that the next-generation SLS may be joined by another performance model that fits neatly between itself and the C63 AMG.

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
