Don’t put too much emphasis on the mileage. This nice, one owner, Mercedes is in really great condition with no damage history, a new torque converter, a recently rebuilt transmission and all services up to date. All of the manuals, both keys, original brochure, Mercedes high mileage award, and window sticker are also present. With one caveat (tires) that is discussed below, I would drive it across the country tomorrow with expectations of a completely trouble free trip.

This was my single 52 year old daughter’s car. It was purchased new from the Mercedes dealer in Knoxville, TN and serviced by them until last fall. While technically a two owner vehicle, the second owner never really got to use it and it has been in my garage here in Stuart, Florida ever since my daughter brought it from her garage in TN. This premium Mercedes spent most of its life in a garage, was never driven to work, rear seats rarely used - no children - never smoked in - no accidents - never used as a truck. While it has the towing package, it has only been used for one short easy tow of about 5 miles. Most of the mileage came from my daughter travelling back and forth to Florida to visit her parents. Of course, living some twenty minutes from the closest grocery store didn’t help either. But the bottom line is that the vehicle was in a garage whenever it was not on the road and the finish still has a great shine and the interior and the exterior look great.

Last fall we sold this ML to a close friend, at a time when he was fighting lung cancer. While the prognosis for recovery was very good at the time, it turned out to be overly optimistic, and he passed a couple of months ago. I am now offering this fine vehicle on behalf of his widow. She has another car and no need for two. I may just buy it back from her if it doesn't find a new home fairly quickly. I would do so in a heartbeat if I had any use for another vehicle, however my wife and I are the only drivers in our household and our six car garage is already pretty full with four other Mercedes, plus a Toyota Previa van that meets our needs for a utility vehicle. We are a family of automotive enthusiasts that take care of our vehicles. They are not just detailed for sale; they are maintained that way at all times. We have been active members of the Mercedes club for over forty years. One of the last personal Mercedes that I sold was a 300SEL 6.3 that I had owned for 29 years. I sold it back to Mercedes and it currently resides at their classic car center in Irvine CA.

This ML500 has been a great vehicle from a service standpoint with no significant service issues until 225,000 miles. At that point, my daughter detected an increase in fuel consumption which led us to replace the torque converter. Since that meant dropping the transmission, we had the transmission rebuilt by a top transmission shop as preventive maintenance, even though it was still functioning perfectly. With this work so recently completed however, the potential for any expensive service issues has been substantially reduced. The engine runs perfectly and uses no oil. I truly believe that this vehicle will run for the next 200,000 miles without any serious maintenance issues. This vehicle has been meticulously maintained and everything works perfectly from the remote door locks to the radio, CD player and Navigation system (with updated maps).

I would be remiss if I did not mention that the tires are approaching the end of their useful life. Personally, I would replace them now, although our good friend that bought it last fall was not concerned, because he did not expect to be putting a lot of miles on the vehicle. If a buyer so desires, I could arrange for installation of a new set of 275/55/17 Michelin Latitude tires prior to delivery. Cost with mounting, balancing and the recommended 4 wheel alignment would be $985. The vehicle just had a complete service and inspection by the local Mercedes dealer. As a result of their detailed inspection we went ahead and replaced the isolation bushings on the torsion bars along with the transmission mounts even though our service adviser felt that replacement was not really necessary. In my opinion this ML500 is currently driving and performing as well as it did when it was new.

This is a very nice Mercedes in excellent condition. As long as we can get a refund on eBay fees we will refund all funds if not completely satisfied at time of pickup. If you would like to see any additional photos just ask.

Mercedes dealers authorized to spend $2,500 on perks for S-Class customers

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

If you drop $100,000 on a luxury sedan, it seems only reasonable to receive some preferential treatment at the dealership you purchased from. After all, that price isn't just for the car - you're paying for the brand and all the cachet that entails. For Mercedes-Benz, those benefits have apparently been lacking relative to the German brand's luxury competitors.
That's set to change, though, as Automotive News reports that the German brand is placing a much greater emphasis on keeping its customers happy and loyal with its MB Select program. Starting with the new S-Class and spreading to the CLA-Class (and eventually beyond), dealers are being given money - up to $2,500 in the case of the flagship sedan - just to improve the customer experience.
We agree, improving the "customer experience" is quite a vague term, so it's nice that Mercedes USA's CEO, Steve Cannon, offered up some examples to AN at the LA Auto Show. For example, a customer couldn't fit his sunglasses into the overhead compartment. "So we bought him a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses that fit because of their shape," Cannon said.

Mercedes, Renault-Nissan to work together on truck project

Wed, Apr 8 2015

Just a few weeks ago, Mercedes-Benz barged into the automotive world with news of a pickup as a mysterious but enticing future model from the German brand. Rumors of a possible collaboration with Nissan followed, but Renault-Nissan Alliance CEO Carlos Ghosn refused to give any clear details. That speculation is now over, because the automakers made their truck partnership official. This new information reveals that the Mercedes truck won't be a full in-house creation from Daimler. For example, the pickup will share some of its underpinnings with the latest Nissan NP300 Navara. The German company's engineers, however, will work to change the design to their liking. Also, as in the rendering, Mercedes will use a double-cab body for the model. "Thanks to our well-established partnership with the Renault-Nissan Alliance, we are able to drastically reduce the time and cost to enter this key segment." Daimler Chairman Dr. Dieter Zetsche said in the company's release. Nissan will play a further major role in the project by helping Renault develop a pickup based on the Navara as well. By 2020, all three trucks will be built together in Cordoba, Argentina, for Latin American markets and in Barcelona, Spain, for other parts of the world. Mercedes will target both regular customers and commercial buyers with its truck. While still not officially slated for North America, there's a chance that the Mercedes truck might be sold here. The US arm of the company reportedly has until the end of the year to decide to offer it with some added luxury-oriented upgrades compared to the rest of the world.
