I retired from an airline not so long ago. My wife and I are downsizing and parting with a number of things that we have collected over the last 45 years. Along with the downsizing and selling some things on E-bay there have been a few other things we are changing...so here's my story and I'm stickin' to it... Our 40th Anniversary is coming up in a few weeks, so I asked my wife what she wanted to do... She said, "Let's buy a pop-top camper and go camping!" We had borrowed a pop-top camper from her parents and taken it on our honeymoon in 1973. I agreed but said that we would need to purchase a tow vehicle as well. We purchased the tow vehicle (this ML320) first and proceeded to look at pop-top campers. We found a pop-top we liked and bought it (you can see it in the background in some of the pictures). The three of us went on our first camping trip (we have a 30 yr. old son with Down Syndrome who goes everywhere with us). After all the thought, time and effort I spent trying to find the "perfect" (reliable, excellent condition, safe, trustworthy, etc.) tow vehicle, I did not realize the amount of gear and other "stuff" it takes for three adults to go camping. What was left over after the camper itself was packed had to go in the back of the Mercedes. We took it on our first trip and the opinion was unanimous... we need a Suburban or something with a lot bigger storage area. That's why I am selling it... now for details on the Mercedes. This is a 2001 Mercedes ML320 Sport Model (different trim and more options). The most important option is side airbags for the rear passengers. ....driver's side and passenger side front are standard Navigation (with the cd-rom set) Bose sound system with weather band Single cd and cassette in dash and 6 disc cd player in rear Entertainment system and drop down screen for rear passengers ....entertainment system is VHS not DVD...I don't know if it works...I don't have any VHS tapes it would seem that the VHS player could be swapped out with a CD player (I have not investigated that possibility as I need a bigger vehicle) Heated leather seats Moonroof Automatic 5 speed transmission with manual (no clutch ) shifting ability All wheel drive Factory tint windows Mercedes side steps (running boards/ whatever they are called...see pictures) Lockable strong box mounted under passenger front seat (with keys) Sport wheels AMG exhaust New Dunlop tires New rear brakes for first trip (front were good) Battery new less than two years ago (receipt was in glove box) new oil (Mobil 1) and filter before trip I had a brand new Draw Tite hitch (made for this model Mercedes) and electric brake assist installed by a local company that specialized in hitch installation. 2 inch drop Draw bar with 2 inch ball. Hitch capacity is 5000 lbs. and that matches the Mercedes towing capacity specifications. (that hitch package and labor cost me $900 three weeks ago....I have the receipts) This Mercedes runs and drives great. It is safe and more quiet on the highway than I imagined. I would certainly keep it if it was big enough for our needs. You may have noticed that it has a salvage/rebuilt title... I bought it from the manager of a customer service department for a national insurance company. He said that a number of years ago the rear bumper cover was scraped on the left in a parking lot by another car. The cover was replaced and did not affect anything more or the title. More recently he was bumped in the front on the drivers side. The bumper cover, fog light, and fender on the driver's side was replaced with genuine Mercedes parts. I have a photograph of the damage, prior to repair, taken by the previous owner. He is employed by the same insurance company that insures his car and was required to send his title to NC state Department of Motor Vehicles where it was branded salvage/rebuilt. When he had to purchase the driver's side headlight assembly he decided to replace both sides with the new LED running lights and halos around the headlight projectors. ( I have the original assembly for the passenger's side) As of July 19, 2013 Kelly Blue Book values it with the options and low mileage at $9788 and that's without the hitch and electric brake control unit. I have it listed at $8500 or best offer. I am not interested in any trades unless you have an Escalade ESV or a loaded Suburban. Come see it...you will be impressed as I obviously was. (That picture with my reflection is of the door, not the glass...) |

Mercedes-Benz may create electric-only brand
Fri, Jun 24 2016Daimler's Mercedes-Benz division may follow in fellow German automaker BMW's footsteps by launching its own separate brand for electric vehicles, Hybrid Cars says, citing German publication Handelsblatt, which quoted people familiar with the process. Daimler's board may make the decision to go ahead with the plan as early next month. And the brand may officially be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in September. Unlike BMW and the i brand, Mercedes would use its existing factories to produce the newly-branded vehicles instead of operating out of a separate one as the i brand does. The first vehicle under the brand is likely to be an SUV model based on the Mercedes-Benz GLC crossover vehicle and would start sales next year. The product line would be broadened further in 2020. Daimler declined to comment, according to Handelsblatt. Mercedes-Benz and BMW wouldn't be the only two German automakers with plans for more electric vehicle sales. Volkswagen has a plan to unleash as many as 20 electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids to the public by 2020, including the Phaeton and the Audi A8. On that note, reports surfaced last month that VW may build its own "Gigafacory" as it prepares to widen its plug-in vehicle push and bring down their costs. As for US sales, Smart sold 313 ForTwo Electric vehicles, down 43 percent from a year earlier. Meanwhile, BMW's i sales in the US fell 40 percent from a year earlier to 2,723. Currently, Mercedes-Benz's only two electric vehicles are the Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive and the Smart ForTwo Electric two-seat vehicle. In the meantime, take a look at Autoblog's First Drive of the B-Class Electric. Related Video: News Source: Handelsblatt, Hybrid Cars Green Mercedes-Benz smart Electric
Mercedes-AMG teases GT interior, announces fall 2014 debut
Tue, 15 Apr 2014Mercedes-Benz opted to tease the assembled media at its post-New York Auto Show party, showing off a pair of images of the exquisitely crafted interior of the highly anticipated successor of the SLS AMG - the V8-powered Mercedes-AMG GT.
Slated for a debut in the fall at either Paris or Los Angeles (we're betting Paris), you'll note straight away that there's something wrong with this car's name. Where's the "Benz?" Well, it's been ditched to, as Mercedes says, "make the dream of the authentic Mercedes-AMG sports car come true." Sorry Karl.
"The new Mercedes-AMG GT proves that we will be positioning AMG as a dynamic sports car brand even more strongly and aggressively than before," said Tobias Moers, CEO of Mercedes-AMG.
The Scaldarsi Emperor I is a Mercedes-Maybach S600 taken to 11 on the bad-taste scale
Thu, Aug 18 2016The custom car world is filled with vehicles designed by people that don't know when to quit. The Scaldarsi Emperor I, shown here in all its awful rose-gold glory, appears to have been designed by an enthusiast of the KFC Double Down. It's a hideous creation and we can't let it pass without saying so. We also can't look away. Scaldarsi's so-called "artists" have thoroughly reworked what was a perfectly wonderful Mercedes-Maybach S600. In addition to the 24-karat rose gold accents, the company has crafted a new front fascia and modified the side and rear treatments. Inside, the general S600 shape remains, but new leather and wood cover nearly every surface. Your insane imagination will not be tamed, as there are 24 colors for the leather, 24 types of animal hides, 78 types of wood, and 16 exterior body colors available. The result, at least in the publicity shots, is a mix of awkward textures and seats that look like a pile of colorful marshmallows. Those interested in purchasing an Emperor I can option custom-engraved champagne glasses, matching tote bags, and even an Emperor Edition Rolex watch. If the standard key fob is too common for your taste, they'll make you one custom. Watch out for that Scaldarsi logo, though – it looks mean enough to rip through your pocket and take a chunk out of your leg. We will give Scaldarsi credit for wisely letting Brabus handle the power. The Emperor I uses the 6.3-liter twin-turbocharged V12 from the Brabus Rocket 900. This 888-horsepower monster is a tuned version of the V12 AMG uses in the S65, SL65, and G65. The Emperor I has an estimated 0-60 mph time of just 3.7 seconds, which is quick enough to leave stoplights before anyone recognizes you behind the wheel. Scaldarsi is asking a mere $1.5 million for each of 10 examples being created. If you miss out on the Emperor I or are some kind of twisted completist that needs one of each, this just the first in a series of customs the company will offer. Next up is the Emperor II (a Mercedes-AMG S65 Coupe), which will be followed by the Emperor III (Bentley Bentayga), Emperor IV (Mercedes-AMG G65), and Emperor V (Bugatti Chiron). Lord help us all.
