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.

2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA priced from $31,300*
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Mercedes-Benz has kindly let loose the price of the 2015 GLA-Class, telling Autoblog.com that the base 208-horsepower GLA250 in two-wheel drive will go for $31,300 *not including a destination charge of $925. That makes for $32,225 in total to get one off the lot, a price predicted as early as last year and in our recent First Drive. The other two available models can push power to all four wheels, and after the destination fee is applied the GLA240 4Matic (pictured) will be $34,225 while the 355-horsepower GLA45 AMG will change lives and wallets to the tune of $49,225.
On the base scale, that puts the GLA250 just a few hundred dollar bills above the more powerful, rear-wheel drive BMW X1 and a stack of hundreds below the less powerful, front-wheel drive Audi Q3. If you're keeping in-house score, the GLA250 comes in at $1,400 above its sedan platform-mate with the same engine, the CLA250. At the high end, however, the competition doesn't have anything that can touch the AMG trim. Not that it should matter all that much - Mercedes needed something to keep these buyers in the family, and now they have it. If any of them should need even more power and more money spent, then there's always that 394-hp Brabus flavor. We'll have more info and details on each trim when Mercedes unleashes the shebang in the not-too-distant future.
Mercedes-Benz intros long-wheelbase E-Class for China
Thu, 25 Apr 2013Long-wheelbase sedans are a pretty hot commodity in China, and to keep up with the competition, Mercedes-Benz has introduced an extended version of the 2014 E-Class sedan at the Shanghai Motor Show. Audi, BMW, Volvo and even Cadillac offer extended versions of sedans specific to the Chinese market, and now the E-Class L, shown off in E400L guise, will give luxury sedan buyers in China yet another option.
Compared to the standard 2014 E-Class sedan, the new China-spec E-Class L has been stretched by 5.5 inches - all of which goes to the rear-seat passengers. According to an article on China View from earlier in the year, the market for chauffeur-driven cars is growing in the Asian nation, so automakers need long-wheelbase models like the E-Class L in order to fully compete. As for what powers this stretched E-Class, it's available in three models: the diesel E260L, the V6-powered E300L and the E400 Hybrid.
The redesigned E-Class and the all-new A-Class are just the first of 20 new Mercedes-Benz products that will be introduced into the Chinese auto market by 2015. Scroll down for the full press release on long-wheelbase E.
2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon is one hot hauler [w/video]
Thu, 28 Mar 2013Mentioned at the debut of the redesigned Mercedes-Benz E-Class back in January, Mercedes has finally pulled back the curtain on the E63 AMG S, which was on display at the New York Auto Show in wagon guise. The 2014 E63 AMG S ups the ante even more from a "base" E63 AMG, improving the car's performance and styling - not that it needed help with either to begin with.
Our favorite S-model upgrade is the added output tweaked out of the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 577 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, which represents a substantial gain of 27 hp and 59 lb-ft of torque over the stock E63. In wagon form, the E63 AMG S can run from 0-60 miles per hour in just 3.6 seconds and hit an electronically limited top speed of 186 mph. All 2014 E63 AMGs come with Mercedes' 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, but the S-Model adds in a limited-slip rear differential for improved performance.
Mercedes has made sure that the extra money being spent on the S-Model is instantly noticeable with slightly different design cues and black along with 10-spoke wheels with red brake calipers peeking through. Plenty of silver-chrome and high-gloss black accents finish off the exterior styling, while the interior adds Alcantara on the steering wheel, accent stitching on the leather and contrasting silver seat belts on models with the black interior.
