2004 Mercedes SL500 - Only 24K Miles & 100K MI Warranty

This vehicle had an original MSRP of $100,665 (see window sticker in pics).  It has all the right equipment including:

- AMG Sport Package (18" AMG wheels and AMG body enhancements) - Over $5k option

- Panorama Roof (w/ sunshade)

- Comfort Package (which includes the active ventilated front seats, massaging seats, etc.)

- Keyless Go (so you don't need a key to start/stop the car)

- Navigation System (with all discs)

- XM Radio (located in center console, with remote control)

- All Season Mats, Brand New Set of Carpet Mats (never used, still in plastic) 



Maintenance:

In the last 4k miles I have: 

- Replaced all 4 Tires w/ Hankook Ventus V12 Tires (paid over $1k for this)
- Replaced Both Batteries (cranking & accessory)
- Replaced Rear Brakes
- Performed Brake Line Flush

All scheduled MB service has been performed at local MB dealer.  The Service A was just done on 5/10/14.  A smog check was just performed on 8/16/14.

This vehicle was extremely pampered as you can tell by the # of miles on it.  It was a second vehicle and was never driven in the rain, snow, etc.  It is accident free, non-smoker, and certified mileage.  There is slight rub on edge of one rim (see pic) but it is not very noticeable.


Extended Warranty:

- I currently have an extended warranty for this vehicle.  It expires on 12/5/14 or 100k miles (whichever occurs first).  There is a $100 deductible per claim.  It is called an OEM warranty because it is similar to a traditional manufacturer’s warranty.  See the attached pictures for what is not included.  For the most part it is the standard items like tires, batteries, paint, etc.  I also purchased the additional coverage for the entertainment/navigation unit.  There is a $50 fee (to be paid by the buyer) to transfer this warranty to the new buyer and this must be done within 7 days.

- This warranty should give you peace of mind knowing that there is a warranty in place for the new owner.  I have never had any mechanical issues with this vehicle other than the normal maintenance items.

- If you would like to view entire warranty doc, contact me and I will send it to you.

Mercedes has already booked 30k orders for new S-Class

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

When Toyota snags 30,000 Corolla orders over a three-month span, it's entirely possible we're in the midst of a global economic collapse and that the end is nigh. That's because the scale for Toyota is so very large. Mercedes-Benz, on the other hand, operates on a much smaller scale, particularly when we talk about its higher-end models, like the S-Class.
In 2012, Mercedes sold 65,000 of its flagship sedans in Germany and the EU. That's 178 units per day, for 365 days. Based on that, you can imagine the excitement at Stuttgart when it accepted 30,000 orders for the new S-Class in just three months. That's an average of 333 per day on a continent with a notoriously shaky economy. Now, admittedly, this enthusiasm could wane as the refitted S-Class becomes more common and Mercedes achieves market saturation in Europe's many chauffeur and livery services, but Mercedes isn't choosing to look at it that way.
"The new S-Class has already jumped back into the lead in terms of new vehicle registrations in Germany and its neighboring European countries," Mercedes-Benz head of sales and marketing, Ola Kaellenius, said in a statement last week.

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.

Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets

Tue, Jul 17 2018

Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.
