"several have asked yes it is automatic 7 speed"
I purchased this car for my home in Miami, yada yada yada my girlfriend left and I no longer have my home in Miami so I drove the car back to my Phoenix home.
This car had a rebuilt title when I purchased it. I drove it for almost 20,000 miles, even back and forth from Miami to Phoenix two times without one issue. On the road I got about 30 mpg.
When I purchased it the guy explained it was a theft recovery and there was some damage to the drivers door. Since the insurance company paid it off and there was some damage to the door it had to be titled as rebuilt. The computer was replaced because the old one was stolen so the mileage had to be listed as unknown. The rims were also replaced because they were stolen.
I took it to Mercedes of Miami for a full inspection, they said the car was perfect and the mechanic could not find any damage. The mechanic also said the milage (36,000) was accurate for the inspection. He advised for new tires and changing the brake fluid. I put new tires on about 5000 miles ago and never changed the brake fluid.
This car looks and runs great. I would have no issue driving it to anywhere in the country.
Problems with the car;
The GPS and road maps do not come up on the display.
On the left rear of the bumper there is a chip of paint knocked off from another vehicle grazing it (see pic).
On the passenger door one of my mountain bikes fell over and put a couple pressure dents. Hard to see unless you look close. I took it to a paintless det repair place and they told me $75 to fix it. But I did not have the time to leave it (see pic).
I have been straight forward and honest. I can tell you the car looks great and runs perfectly. There are no mechanical issues and you can jump in and take it anywhere.
I am listing this at a great low start price with no reserve. If you are the winning bidder you bought it. If you would like to see and drive the car I am in Mesa Arizona.
Sold As Is
Please ask if you have questions and do not bid unless you intend to finish the transaction.
Thank you for looking Paul
Please note the car needs to be washed in the pictures it is filthy it has been raining non stop in Phoenix.

Next Mercedes-Benz C-Class to get diesel, hybrid versions
Tue, 16 Apr 2013Mercedes-Benz is planning a more aggressive product strategy for its next-generation C-Class range. "We were fighting the 3 Series with two arms tied behind our back, and now we will change that," Steve Cannon, the automaker's US CEO, told Automotive News in a recent interview.
In addition to offering more body styles of the new C-Class, AN reports that the revamped Mercedes will also be offered here with hybrid and diesel powertrains. Currently, the C-Class comes in coupe and sedan variants, with only gasoline engines. The BMW 3 Series, however, is available as a sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon, and offers buyers the choice of gasoline, diesel (the upcoming 328d) or hybrid power.
Mercedes-Benz will show the next-generation C-Class at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, with sales of the US-built sedan following in August. Coupe, convertible and hybrid models will follow in early 2015, and while diesel and all-wheel-drive versions are planned, no specific timetable has been released regarding availability.
Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
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.
