This is likely one of the best w126 sedans in the country. I am the second owner. I bought it from
the original owner in West Palm Beach in Florida. It is a U.S spec car and will pass smog even in California. I can help re-import it into the U.S if anyone is interested. Car has 70k miles. Very well documented service history. Only genuine Mercedes parts used. Stacks of receipts available. Midnight blue exterior with palomino interior. Here is some of the recent service (within the last 5k miles). - New HVAC blower motor and monovalve - New tires (and rims were professionally refurbished) - New brake discs and pads all round - New sway bar links - New SLS high pressure lines and fluid flushed - New steering tie rods (inner and outer on both sides) - New rear windscreen imported from Germany (replaced due to de-lamination of defroster element) - New engine mounts - New timing chain, tensioner and guide rails - New valve stem oil seals and guides (basically the top end was redone, head gasket up everything was rebuilt) - New camshaft oiler tube clips - New idle control valve - New coolant hoses everywhere - New vacuum lines and check valves - New spark plug wires and cap - New plenum gaskets (pretty much anything made of rubber in the engine bay has been replaced) - New odometer gears - New hood insulation - New floor mats - And obviously all fluids have been flushed (power steering, transmission, SLS, etc...) I easily have about $20k all in and have receipts to prove it. The car was put in storage in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada a few month after the photos were taken. Its about an hour from Ogdensburg, NY. It was not a daily driver or anything like that. It was just my toy. I know people in the U.S like to say the "moisture" in Canada can cause a car to rust, so after much research I had it rust proofed with Corrosion Free 3000 when I imported it, which is apparently what the military use for their vehicles. So regardless, there is no rust, there never was and there never will be. For the folks who like to ask whether its ready to be driven across the country, the answer is definitely YES! The car has the following problems; 1. The driver's seat has a small slit in it. Nothing wrong with the frame, backrest or springs. Its easily repairable but good quality leather replacement covers are available from places like GAHH so I would just replace it. All the other seats look completely unused. 2. The transmission oil pan gasket leaks a few drops a week. I've replaced the gasket about 3 times now and it still drips. I can only assume that the pan is slightly warped. Genuine replacement is like $100. 3. The cruise control stalk is loose and doesn't work properly. I have a replacement unit yet to be installed. The car is stock. There are no "tasteful mods" (if you pardon the Euro lights, original NAM spec lights are included) I'm an honest person and a Mercedes enthusiast (was part of MBCA and I've built more than a few Mercedes engines). I'm just trying to sell my garage queen. I'll be happy to answer any questions over email or we can exchange phone numbers. The car is also listed on autotrader and kijiji. I've added 10 high res photos. If they don't show up, please email me and I'll send them to you. FYI the speaker covers have since been replaced (seen broken in the photos). |

BMW reclaims US luxury sales crown from Mercedes
Tue, Jan 6 2015The numbers, they are in: BMW has reclaimed the luxury-sales crown from Mercedes by a margin of 9,347 cars. Mercedes donned the king's headgear in 2013 after a strong final quarter of 2013 when the new CLA and S-Class poured out of dealerships. This year, led by the 3 Series/4 Series and X5, BMW sold 339,738 units – a 9.8-percent increase year-on-year. Mercedes, led by the C-Class and M-Class, saw its sales go up by 5.7 percent to 330,391 units. We'll have to wait a bit to see if there's another registrations-vs-sales challenge as in 2012, when BMW was anointed US luxury ruler. Behind them, a dark horse named Lexus nudged closer to the leading Teutons, selling 311,389 cars. The Japanese luxury automaker also had the biggest gain among the top three, its sales rising by 13.7 percent compared to 2013. Audi had the biggest sales of anyone among the top five, though, with a 15.2-percent gain to 182,011, which moved it a spot ahead of Cadillac; the Wreath-and-Crest brand dropped 6.5 percent to 170,750. Acura (167,843), Infiniti (117,300), and Lincoln (94,474) took the final positions. Speaking of Lincoln, sales at the once-mighty luxury marque stand as the mightiest jump of any on this list, up 15.6 percent. That's the power of Matthew McConaughey... and better cars and a new crossover, sure. So now that we're back to Round One of 2015, in case no one else has said it yet: "Ok, fight!"
2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Make way for the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, the most wonderfully preposterous car I have ever driven.
There is absolutely no reason why any two-seat roadster should be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 developing 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, but I sure am glad that Mercedes-Benz doesn't see things that way.
Drop into the leather-lined cockpit of this $213,145 provocateur, floor the accelerator pedal as I did over and over again, and 60 miles per hour falls in a traction-limited 3.9 seconds. Top speed has been electronically held to 186 mph (this apparently saves Gulfstream jet owners from embarrassment). Forget the SL550 and SL63 AMG, the valets will trip over themselves attending to the tycoon driving this thoroughbred - it's the real deal.
The BMW M8 leads this month's list of discounts
Mon, Sep 21 2020Back in June of this year, the BMW 8 Series was the most heavily discounted vehicle in America. This month, it's the 617-horsepower M8. Midsummer buyers of the 2020 BMW M8, which is offered in hardtop, convertible and four-door Gran Coupe bodystyles, were seeing an average of $6,150 cut off the sticker; this month that figure has ballooned all the way to $16,864. That's more than 11% off the car's $150,000-plus retail price, and, according to data provided by TrueCar, it's the largest dollar amount sliced off the retail price of any car for the month of September. Next is the Maserati Quattroporte, buyers of which are saving $15,912 for an average transaction price of $99,763. If that's still too expensive, the smaller Ghibli's $70,030 average transaction price represents a huge 14.5% discount, earning the Italian sedan entry into our monthly top 10 best deals list. The third largest monetary discount in September comes off the $131,066 sticker price of the lovely 2019 Mercedes-AMG GT. Take $15,473 off that sum for an average transaction price of $115,593.
