Iron First In A Velvet Glove. Special Order Highly Optioned Ml63 W/ Ext Warranty on 2040-cars
Richardson, Texas, United States
Special order highly optioned low mile
rare color combination 2011 Mercedes ML-63 AMG
34,800 miles give or take - I drive the car on weekends - so it will continue to accumulate some additional miles until it sells. Texas & Colorado car all its life - no rust. Always garaged or under car-port as can be seen from the lack of paint fade and pristine interior. When not being driven it sits inside an air conditioned garage at 72 degrees. I'm the second owner. The vehicle still has the original factory warranty till Nov 25th, 2014, and then has a CPO warranty till Nov 25th, 2015. Special order with options like 3-zone climate control with individual left / right sensors and polution sensor / filter (yes it all makes a big difference), rear heated seats, IR reflective glass, trailer hitch (yes an AMG can haul things), lighted AMG door sills, blind spot assist, sport sills instead of running boards, etc. Perfectly preserved, perfectly maintained with full records. Still has a factory warranty - and my dealer went over every inch of the car after acquisition performing every single bulletin worth of tweaks and repairs all funded by the factory. Iron fist in a velvet glove. Brute of an engine, performance galore. Docile when in "comfort mode" which is where it spends 99% of its time. The devil unleashed in "sport mode". It is the perfect combination of modern utility, old world luxury, and top notch performance. This hot-rod Merc is fast, competent, luxurious, stylish, and built like a tank. If you are now a financially established car guy who wants to haul ass yet needs to haul other things too, and then in the evenings desires to put on the Ritz by showing up at the symphony in a tux with your date in a gown, this world class ML-63 AMG is the perfect way to have your cake and eat it too ! In fact your mate in a gown will appreciate that she's stepping out of this AMG at chair height - instead of that awkward dip and rise out of a low slung car. Vehicle color is Clacite White. Java Napa leather interior - mocha not the yellowish tan color of the non-AMG cars. Chocolate brown Napa leather dash. Front exterior has color matched center
panel in the grill - on most US cars it is a black plastic bar. There are some unique features on this car; in addition to the tilt down on right side mirror when in reverse, the instrument cluster has been reprogrammed to show a digital tank fuel level on one of the trip computer cluster display options, and both the digital and analog speedometer is switchable between miles & km for when you drive in Canada or anywhere else metric readings are needed. These program items are all stock in Canada - I had them performed on this car. In addition, the COMAND navigation maps are the recent 2014 version update. There is a compass in the interior auto-dim mirror - this feature normally was on cars without nav - but when the COMAND head unit is not on the nav page, it's still nice to know which direction you're going. Note the picture of the HVAC controller - you have individual settings for air flow as well as temperature. On the dashboard there are individual sensors right and left for sun / temperature. The air distribution unit has motorized air flow flaps which allow for all AC on one side, all heat on the other - not the blend which occurs in so-called multi-zone cars. The interior is nearly as new, with the original AMG embroidered floor mats placed in the rear, as the normal mats are the heavy rubber Mercedes OEM units. Both original keys are present, along with the original document kit (with the VIN label still on it), luggage compartment retractable / removable cover, and all trunk tools, including air-compressor and rear net accessories. The front license bracket plate is in the trunk as well - it was never mounted. The car has every available standard order and special order option except the distronic cruise control. The interior & exterior of this car
are in well cared for condition appropriate for the mileage on the vehicle. It
is a used vehicle so perfection is not claimed - but it's very close. Front and rear tires are a year old
with only 5000 miles on them. Brabus two-piece forged Monoblok-V wheels with
Pirelli Verde LRR tires. Everything works. Sanely adult driven. Non-smoker. No excuses. I will consider reasonable offers, but I have no need to sell. Please don't be ridiculous; the offer of $20,000 on account of how it's a gas guzzler and the buyer would be doing me a favor by taking it off my hands - that sort of offer will have me ROTFL. This car is like an exotic mistress. Expensive to acquire. Most assuredly high maintenance - did you expect anything else ? Definitely not for day to day use - though it has muscle under that sleek skin, and when asked nicely will helpfully carry a few gifts. Expecting to be thoroughly used after first being warmed up (and there's a gauge that helpfully tells you when), but never, ever, ever abused. It has a soul of fire, purrs under a gentle caress, sings at full bore, and is oh (!) so worth all the effort. As to looks - most ML63s are black or silver with black interiors, all alike. But like curvy Kate - the current spokesperson for Mercedes, this car is not the usual - eh ? Beautifully exotic and elegant on the outside - a bit of a chameleon. Luxurious and supremely comfortable on the inside. That sensuous Napa leather pays dividends because it will really grip you in place when the occasion requires. This ML63 is ready to come out and insanely play with the one that knows how to make it move. Worth all it takes. So why would I give this ML63 up
? Not lightly ! Let me put it this way - if you were dating both Kate Upton and
Cameron Diaz at the same time, would there not come a time when you had to
choose ? I've got the same problem here with cars. Two exotics - two personalities
- one or the other demands my full attention. The other is an S65. The ML63 is ever so slightly the
one which makes less sense to keep, though every time I drive it - I think
...... oh heck - I'd best stop right now or I will de-list. |

Genesis cars win accolades, offer value — so why are sales so bad?
Tue, Jul 31 2018My high-school buddy Brent Cormier was so smitten with the Genesis G80 when he saw it at an event I hosted at SXSW in 2016 he bought a used 2013 Hyundai Genesis a short time later and fell in love with the car. "It surpasses my every expectation," said Cormier, a self-described "renaissance man" who owns and runs a real estate agency with his wife Laura, is a food service executive chef and part owner of Austin-based Thin the Herd Guitars. "I was locked into Mercedes and Audi for 10 years," he added. "And felt trapped in an endless pit of maintenance costs." After owning the Genesis over the past two years — including using it as an Uber and Lyft driver to earn extra cash — Cormier learned what some frugal luxury sedan buyers and a handful of car reviewers have discovered: Genesis offers great bang for the buck compared to other premium brands and can compete with the best in terms of performance, features and comfort. Hyundai's luxury brand also earned a prominent third-party endorsement last week when for the first time Genesis topped J.D. Power's 2018 APEAL study, surpassing German luxury-performance icon Porsche. The APEAL study (which stands for Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout) "measures owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement across 77 attributes," ranging from performance to comfort, and asks nearly 68,000 owners of new 2018 models to score vehicles on a 1,000-point scale. In its second year ranked as a stand-alone brand, Genesis earned an APEAL score that bumped it up 15 points to 884 and helped push it past Porsche — and past BMW, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, Cadillac, Land Rover and Lexus, in order of ranking. Last month, Genesis also topped J.D. Power's Initial Quality Survey (IQS) for the first time this year. And both its models were awarded Top Safety Pick Plus ratings by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, among 11 Plus ratings in all for Korean vehicles. Despite high J.D. Power rankings and great reviews, Genesis U.S. sales were off 50 percent for the first six months of 2018 compared to 2017, and in June Genesis sold only 796 vehicles — the first time U.S. numbers dropped below 1,000 in a month. Part of Genesis's APEAL and IQS success can be attributed to its small product lineup: just two models, the G80 and G90 sedans, with a third, the 2019 G70, launching later this year. And while those numbers may help in J.D.
Mercedes-Benz releases stunning first images of 2014 S-Class
Mon, 18 Mar 2013
The all-new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, designated W222, is one of the most highly anticipated debuts of its model year. Every generation of the flagship sedan has broken new ground in technology and innovation for the entire industry, and the German automaker appears determined to raise the bar much further with its latest arrival as it promises to deliver "the best automobile in the world." Mercedes-Benz has just released nearly two dozen interior images of the new sedan, showing off style in design, craftsmanship in execution and pioneering advancements in technology.
Unlike all previous generations - the first S-Class officially arrived in 1972 - the 2014 model completely discards a traditional instrument cluster and replaces it with two high-resolution color displays in 8:3 format with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches (the outgoing model's gauges were a mix of digital and analog). The left unit displays traditional analog gauges (digitally, of course) while the right unit is reserved for infotainment and comfort settings with the automaker's all-new mBrace2 - a cloud-based entertainment and information delivery system that is rolling out this year.
Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.
