1999 Mercedes-benz Cl500 - 43k Miles - Outstanding Condition on 2040-cars
Santa Monica, California, United States
|
Overview 1999 was the last and probably the best year for the W140 S-class coupe (or C140). The Bruno Sacco lines still look great today, and the quality of materials throughout is unmatched by anything today short of Bentley or Rolls Royce. The best feature of the car has to be its powertrain -- the legendary M119 V8 matched with a surprisingly lively 5-speed automatic. I'm always looking for an excuse to dip into the throttle and bring the revs past 3000. There's plenty of grunt, even for such a heavy car, and the sound is magnificent. The car excels at long highway trips and, amazingly, can travel up to 600 miles on a single tank of fuel. Ownership History I am the car’s third owner, having purchased it in July 2012 from the estate of a Chicago attorney, who drove the car sparingly for about 10 years. He originally bought it from the local Mercedes-Benz dealer (Knauz Continental Autos) as a Starmark certified pre-owned car with 14,800 miles. (I am not familiar with the original owner.) Condition Body: 9 out of 10 The car is completely original and has never been in an accident nor had any paint or bodywork of any kind. The Midnight Blue paint shines with a depth that only older Mercedes-Benz vehicles seem able to achieve. The only flaws are: a few light scratches on the trunk lid, some small paint chips around the door edges, and a dime-sized door ding on the driver’s side door. Interior: 9.5 out of 10 The Blue Nappa interior looks and even smells new, and everything works perfectly -- with the exception of the driver’s seat, which sometimes doesn’t want to fold forward if you are letting someone into the back (passenger seat works fine) ; also, if you squint, you can see that the driver’s seat has some very slight fading on the bolster nearest to the door. Mechanical: 10 out of 10 The car runs and drives like a brand-new car. It’s an outstanding highway cruiser and gets as much as 25 miles per gallon on long trips. I recently took the car to Oregon and back without any problems whatsoever. Service History The car has received all of its scheduled maintenance at Mercedes-Benz dealerships. The only repair I’ve had to make during my ownership was to have broken plastic gear in the passenger seat replaced; I had this work done at German Motor Car Service in Santa Monica. I put new Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires on when I bought the car; they have approximately 10,000 miles on them now. The car comes with all of its original books and manuals as well as two keys. Pricing Kelley Blue Book places the private party value for this car in excellent condition at $14,125. In the interest of a quick sale, I am pricing the car at $13,500 or best offer. Reason for Sale I’m selling the car now because it’s currently just a weekend car for me, and I would like to use the funds to offset the costs of some recent home improvement work. |

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.
Mercedes testing C-Class plug-in hybrid modes in Germany
Wed, 07 May 2014Testing appears to be underway for what would be the first Mercedes-Benz C-Class with a hybrid powertrain. We can see a pair of the prototypes undergoing testing in Germany, with one, a C-Class Wagon, still heavily clad in camouflage and featuring a more noticeable outlet on the passenger side of its rear bumper.
There's also a more production-looking sedan, which features a not-so-discreet flap over its rear-bumper outlet. It's difficult to speculate on power outputs for this fuel-sipping C-Class, although our spies seem to think that this car will feature some combination of a four-cylinder gas engine with an electric motor, although just which four is unclear (note, we wouldn't mind if MB fit its 2.0-liter turbo with some batteries and motors). Regardless, the four-pot/electric motor seems like a pretty reasonable combo, although it probably means that Mercedes won't be challenging the six-cylinder-powered system of the BMW ActiveHybrid3 any time soon.
When the plug-in C-Class arrives later this year as a 2015 model, it will likely offer a full range of driving modes, including both gas or electric, only, as well as a more traditional hybrid mode.
2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced
Wed, Jul 6 2016Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.
