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. ...

I bought this car from a dealer in NJ who specialized in buying and selling to/from other dealers. He listed

this car on ebay with the claim that every once in a while he saw a car so special that he would pull it

out of the pack and sell it to the public on an individual basis.

I bought it, but now I am moving overseas to an other-side-of-the-road country and so need to sell it.

True things about it being "special":

The overall condition of the car, in and out, really is impressive for its age. I get a lot

of comments from people about its nice condition.

He claimed it was mechanically perfect, and he would drive it anywhere without hesitation. This has

proven to be true. I have driven it back and forth between NJ and VT almost every weekend since I bought

it, as well as every day around town. I also would not hesitate to drive it cross country right now.

It has a valid NJ inspection (until 5/2013) and also a valid VT inspection (until 12/2013).

It is one of the last of the tank Mercedes. It is very solid and heavy. I had originally thought about

it becoming my 17y/o daughter's , just in case of an accident.

It has lots of power, and is pretty impressive when merging, especially for its weight.

It starts first time, every time and seems to have a tight, solid drive train.

The power windows, power headrest, power seats, sunroof, cruise, power steering wheel adjust, etc. all work fine.

It is very clean underneath as well.

False things about it being "special":

There are a few things which do not work. One dashboard illumination light is out, though you can still see everything in the dark.

The abs light comes on once in a while after driving some distance. It is always off when the car starts though. The dashboard clock (old style with hands) does not work.

It has a small rust spot in the lower corner of the front left wheel-well. The paint is still on it, so it is not very noticeable, but it should be dealt with.

The leather on the side of the driver seat and the back of the armrest has wear lines and is not perfect looking like the rest of the extensive interior leather.

I don't think the climate control stays on the set temperature correctly. It seems to sometimes be warmer, and/or cooler than the temperature at which you set it.

I am not sure if the radio works.

VT does not issue titles for vehicles 1997 or newer, so I have the transferable registration which they issue in lieu that you can take to your DMV to get a title

if your state does so. I also have the NJ title to the vehicle from when I bought it which you can have. Bring cash (only), drive it home.

It's a nice one.

The car could be picked up in either NJ or VT.

Mercedes-Maybach Pullman is the luxury car for the discerning dictator

Fri, Mar 16 2018

For decades, Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-Maybach cars have been the ride of choice for leaders across the globe, presidents, ambassadors, dictators and despots alike. The Pullman model — a long-wheelbase six-seat variant Â— has been particularly popular with this select clientele. This week, the German automaker announced the latest version of the car, the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman S650. Essentially, this is a stretched version of the V12-powered Maybach with two rear-facing seats just behind the front row. Mercedes is calling this vis-a-vis seating. There's also a partitioning glass between the front seats and the rear cabin. This is of course to help prevent the chauffeur from learning and spilling any state secrets or plans for plans for secret moon bases. New for this model is a front-facing camera for rear-seat passengers. This allows occupants to watch for any oncoming obstacles, barricades or road blocks. Visually, there's no mistaking the Pullman for another Maybach or really anything else on the road. The car is 21.3-feet long, 4.5-feet longer than the standard Maybach or roughly the size of two and a half Smart Fortwo placed bumper-to-bumper. The requisite 20-inch 10-hole wheels are present and the standard pinstripe Maybach grille has been updated with a slightly new design. The car only comes in S650 trim, meaning it's powered by a 630 horsepower 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12. As expected, the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman isn't cheap. Orders have started, but be prepared to shell out at least $615,000 before adding any custom touches.

Daimler CEO Zetsche answers 'Most likely' to question of a Maybach SUV

Fri, Jan 16 2015

When Dieter Zetsche was asked about the possibility of getting Maybach, the reimagined Mercedes-Benz ultra-luxury sub-brand, into the premium SUV game, the Daimler CEO reportedly told Auto Express, "Most likely." Those two little words aren't a firm answer – let alone an indication of timing Â– but we wouldn't be shocked to find out Mercedes is already working on one. Range Rover has gone even more upscale, the Bentley Bentayga is coming this year, as will the Maserati Levante. Rolls-Royce is deciding on an SUV this year (we think it's only a matter of time before they say "yes"), the Lamborghini Urus is still expected in 2018, Aston Martin is raising funds to build a crossover, and there have been rumors of a BMW X7 and Audi Q9 for years. Point being, everyone is busy writing their own invite to this ultra posh party. The latest comments would appear to put to rest any will-they/won't-they questions around a high-riding Maybach offering. There were rumors last summer that a GL-Class SUV (a model range shortly to be known as GLS-Class) with revamped styling and lots of luxury touches would join the top-tier sub-brand, but then in November, Mercedes' global head of sales and marketing told Automotive News, "I don't want to categorically rule anything out, but at this stage we have no plans for it [a Maybach SUV]." If and when a Maybach utility does become official, we'll only be picking up where we left off with the brand's previous incarnation: a GL-based Maybach was rumored way back in 2007.
