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.

Project Maybach is an absurd, awesome off-road electric coupe

Wed, Dec 1 2021

Mercedes has created some mighty unusual concepts for the Maybach luxury brand. The Exelero high-speed test car and the Ultimate Luxury SUV sedan come to mind. But the Project Maybach, designed in collaboration with late fashion designer Virgil Abloh, may be the wildest yet, being an electric off-road coupe. It's not just the fact it's a two-door off-road coupe. It's the fact that it's a nearly 20-foot-long two-door off-road coupe. And it has very traditional proportions and lines, with a gargantuan front end, and a somewhat less gargantuan rear end. It's squared-off, but in a more elegant, midcentury luxury car way than say, a Hummer. And of course, it has a huge chrome grille and highly embellished taillights, complete with Maybach logos. And yet, this old-school coupe sits high off the ground. It rolls on small, steel-style wheels with chunky tires. It even has skid plates, bolt-on fender flares, rock rails and a roll cage with a roof basket. It's all painted in a matte tan paint that makes it look like a desert-ready expedition vehicle. It's even arguably practical for expedition work. The somewhat spartan-looking interior has tan leather seats that recline fully flat for sleeping. Being an electric car with long areas unoccupied by people, plus that roof basket, it likely has loads of cargo space. On the hood are solar panels that might provide a bit of range, but would at least be handy for recouping some power for accessories. The interior seems to have additional storage bins and tools stowed in special compartments around the cabin. As for the actual performance and range, well, Mercedes has nothing specific. That's not entirely surprising, since this seems to be solely a design exercise. As such, don't expect to see a production model anytime soon. Then again, off-road luxury vehicles are certainly popular. Maybe Mercedes would consider it if there were enough seriously wealthy customers expressing interest. Related video:

Daimler eMERGE2 test proves ignorance breeds dislike of EVs

Thu, Jul 30 2015

Out with the old EVs, in with the new. Daimler announced today that it has finished up the eMERGE electric vehicle project that used Smart Fortwo Electric Drive cars and will now start up eMERGE2, which will use Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive and PHEV vehicles. As before, the tests will take place in Germany. The first, just-finished eMERGE program ran from May 2013 to June 2015 and put over a million kilometers (621,000 miles) onto 146 Smart Fortwo EDs. Daimler said that over the two years, the vehicle with the most efficient annual energy consumption used just 10.4 kWh for all of its 100 kilometers. The best full-charge range over the year was 161 kilometers (100 miles). Perhaps most interesting, though, was one of the projects findings: "the less an interviewee knew about electric mobility, the more negative their opinion" about the technology. In other words, here's some more proof that getting "butts in seats," as it were, is one reasonable way to promote electric driving. eMERGE: key contribution to developing the mobility of the future Stuttgart/Berlin, Jul 30, 2015 Broad-based real-world trial of eMERGE project completed Especially for daily distances of 50 km or over the E-car is financially attractive eMERGE2 fleet project now launching with 200 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive and plug-in hybrid models Stuttgart/Berlin – After more than one million kilometres in two years – from May 2013 to June 2015 – the real-world trial of electric cars known as eMERGE has been completed. Those taking part in the project were private and business customers with 146 smart fortwo electric drive cars from Berlin, Potsdam and North Rhine-Westphalia. Some of them set records: the lowest average energy consumption over one year was 10.4 kWh/100 km, while the longest range was 161 kilometres. The smart fortwo electric drive is certified with a consumption of 16.3 kWh/100 km and a range of 145 kilometres. The broad-based field trial within the framework of the eMERGE project has not only provided information on user behaviour and e-car technology; it also studied intelligent charging systems for improving the utilisation of the power supply as well as various pricing systems with regard to customer acceptance. Based on transport models, the project partners examined the need for a publicly available charging infrastructure. Within the project Daimler was responsible for collecting the driving and charging data required for evaluation of the field trial.

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi

Sun, 25 Nov 2012

EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
