2002 Mercedes Benz G500 that has been tastefully updated with a new 2009-2011 grille, Xenon headlights, LED taillights, and white side markers to look exactly like a 2011 model. It has black leather interior to go with the black exterior, the most popular combination (the gray interiors look awful in person). An iPod connector with a bluetooth add-on has also been added and the original 18" wheels have been powder coated black to give it a distinctive look.

This G-Wagen has been well cared for and is in excellent condition inside and out. I'm only considering selling it because my commute is going to become 75 miles a day and I don't want to put so many miles on this great vehicle. It has been an excellent daily driver for me though, and I've put almost 25,000 miles on it in the last 18 months.

As I've always intended to keep it for the long term, I've had a lot of extra work done on it, that didn't have to be done at the time, but will benefit the new owner. In the last 18 months, besides normal maintenance, I've had the following work done on it:

- Complete front end rebuild - there were some leaking seals (you'll have that after a dozen years) so while they were taking it apart I had the whole front end done. Full tear down of the axles, replaced all seals/bushings, replaced complete steering linkage assembly and tie rod ends (have receipts) spent over $2500 with independent mechanic that I've used on my Mercedes for years, would have been been over $5K at the MB Dealer.
- Complete tune-up including new plugs & wires (16 of them! 2 per cylinder)
-New Rotors & Brake Pads in front & back
-New Windshield - picked up a chip and hated all the fine chips on the windshield creating glare, so instead of fixing, I paid to replace it (G windshields are not cheap) so it feels like you are looking out of a brand new vehicle when you look out the massive windshield

This G runs great, looks great, and all electronics work great. If you are interested, please feel free to ask me any questions, or request a link to additional photos. If possible, I'd prefer to have serious buyers see it in person before the auction closes, so don't hesitate to contact me to come see it. During the week, the G will generally be in Corona and it will usually be in Newport on the weekends, I can work to accommodate showing it in either place.

Tesla says Model 3 is best-selling midsize premium sedan in America

Wed, Jun 6 2018

Auto sales figures are sort of fuzzy numbers, no matter how you slice them and no matter which manufacturer you're talking about. Unless you're specifically tracking vehicle registrations, automakers generally self-report the figures. So, you have to trust that they aren't doing anything too tricky. Plus, not every sale is equal, as some are logged as dealership loaners or demo models, some go to fleets (like to a rental car agency), and still others are, of course, bought by traditional customers looking for a new daily driver. With that preamble out of the way, when we saw a tweet from Tesla claiming that the all-electric Model 3 is the best-selling midsize premium sedan in America, our interest was piqued. According to Tesla, market share of the Model 3 has just surpassed the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which had up until now led the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, and Lexus IS as the best-selling sedan in its class. Note that the graph from Tesla below is, we think, specific to four-door models. So, is it true? Judging by the numbers we can find, including some from Bloomberg, which has a running chart to track Model 3 registrations, the answer is... probably. We don't know exactly how many Model 3 sedans Tesla is currently cranking out, but Bloomberg estimates production at about 2,560 units per week, and total sales for 2018 at 34,414. We know the number is increasing regularly, though, and Elon Musk has said most recently production sits around 500 units per day, which, on a seven-day cycle, would be 3,500 per week. We looked up Mercedes' sales figures for the month of May, 2018, and found that the German brand sold 5,419 C-Class models last month, for a total of 23,917 for the year (incidentally, that's down more than 30 percent from the year prior). While the bulk of those sales would surely be made up of sedans, it would also include a small percentage of coupes. Either way, it's likely that Tesla is currently producing and selling more Model 3s than Mercedes is C-Classes. Now, it's also worth considering if the C-Class is the only vehicle from Mercedes that directly competes with the Model 3. We'd guess customers may also cross-shop the CLA sedan with the Tesla, and if that's the case, you might decide it's worth adding in Mercedes' 2,527 CLA-Class sales last month and 9,622 so far for the year. The same argument could be made for certain versions of the BMW 2 and 4 Series.

Queens man knows how to party, disrupts Mets game with van

Fri, Jun 24 2016

A New Yorker and all-around true American hero took his weekend festivities a little too far and landed himself in front of a judge last week. According to NBC New York, Nelson Hidalgo drove his unassuming Sprinter to Citi Field on Saturday, June 18, around 10:45 p.m. While the Mets were getting thrashed by the Braves, Hidalgo pulled up to the intersection of 127th street and 35th avenue. Hiding within the van's cargo area were 80 speakers driven by powerful amps, around $20,000 worth of car audio. Hidalgo opened the Sprinter's rear doors, deployed his amazing speaker system, cracked a cold Coors Light, and unleashed hell. Noise complaints immediately started flooding in to the police, including one from the Mets' bullpen. Soon, Hidalgo amassed a sizable crowd who had come to rock out and marvel at the lunacy of the Sprinter's sound system. The NYPD showed up eventually and, undaunted by noise and the crowd, clapped the irons on poor Nelson. The Sprinter was impounded and Hildago was charged with second-degree criminal nuisance, general noise prohibition, disorderly conduct, and obstructing the driver's view. "I know it's illegal, but it's the weekend," he explained to the cops as they hauled him away. Once they had him in custody, the NYPD realized that Hidalgo was the person they had been looking for in connection with absurdly loud music coming from various city junkyards in the dead of night. Hidalgo, who has no prior record, spent the night in the slammer but was released the next morning with no bail on the promise that he return for his court date on August 1. Related Video:
