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.

Mercedes A45 AMG in downhill battle with slipstream skateboarder
Mon, 30 Sep 2013We're told it takes "performance, control and expression" to pilot a longboard skateboard down a mountain road, and that those happen to be the same values embodied in the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG. That's how the two came to be combined in a black-and-white short film called Silver Slipstream.
There's no talking, no engine note and no color, just some music, a 'boarder and a car on a long cruise down the Franschhoek Pass in the Western Cape of South Africa." Despite that, it's actually a pretty entertaining video of the latest Mercedes-Benz hot hatch married with extreme sports. You can watch how it all goes down in the video below.
Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.
Brabus 800 Roadster is a power-mad aristocrat
Wed, 06 Mar 2013If we're being completely honest, we haven't exactly been in love with the aesthetics of the sixth-generation Mercedes-Benz SL-Class. It's mostly a front-end issue, with its glowering eagle-eye headlamps and upright, dinner-plate-sized Three-Pointed Star coming across to us as overwrought. That's particularly troublesome for a roadster whose history has of the most elegant designs of all time in its back catalog. Somehow, the new R231 generation's brash visuals seem more at home on this Brabus 800 Roadster to us.
That's probably because the high-dollar German tuner has turned up the wick on the SL's visuals even further, with carbon fiber bodywork, a more aggressive aero kit, matte hood scoop and complex two-finish wheels. It's all-the-way committed to its brashness, in other words - and justifiably so. Anything with 800 horsepower and 1,047 pound-feet of torque has earned the right to look however it wants, right?
Brabus started with the SL65 and its not-exactly-underpowered 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12, and went to town, fitting their own turbocharger and intercooler system, along with a less-restrictive exhaust system with driver-selectable sound levels and new engine electronics. The result is a 3.7-second 0-62 mph time, an electronically limited top whack of 217 mph... and one seriously compromised toupée.
