One Owner From New in 2007 - Largely Highway Miles - Dealer Serviced w/ Records
Please Wait For All Pictures To Load!

This fantastic SL550 was purchased in 2007 by a dear friend of mine with about three thousand miles on it (Mercedes-Benz factory rep car from new). Due to unforseen circumstances on her end, the car came in to me as a trade last month. I don't usually deal in late model sports and exotics, but my personal connection to the car from almost new and knowing the level of care that this car has always seen made it easy for me to help her out with a suitable replacement.

As you can tell from all of my photos, this car did not lack for care and attention throughout its life - it spent very few nights outside a very tight southeastern US garage and only then when it was out on a long road trip up and down the east coast. It was almost always dealer serviced apart from a couple sets of Michelins and a handful of oil changes. Most recently, it received new motor mounts and a full brake job at the Augusta, GA dealership - a complete file of service records detailing all work comes with the car.

The car wears all of its original paint save for a complete rear bumper respray when it was new and a complete front bumper repair and respray just weeks ago in one of my restoration shops - the bumper was removed, parking lot scrapes underneath (necessitating the repair) were correctly fixed and the bumper refitted.

You only see flash glare here and below, no damage, sorry for these glints of light.

All panel gaps are perfect as you would expect, the convertible top and electronic open/close trunk lid works perfectly as well.

You will note my PA dealer plate - yes, I reside in Richmond, VA but have an arrangement with a PA dealer friend of mine - as I do not need a dealer lot for the majority of my business I have a license with him instead. See all the way at the bottom for the complete explanation.

The inside of the trunk compartment is perfect, the protective shelf keeps excess load from impeding the closing of the trunk lid or convertible roof. The custom-made windshield sun shade is also included with the car.

You can see the flaps for the tonneau cover for when the top is open inside the deck lid.

As is becoming clear, this is not your average SL550!

There are no door dings or other imperfections in the bodywork, either. We just sent the car out for a full detailing inside and out and it cleans up like a one-year-old car.

Now, let's do a walk-around with the top down!

The real lines of this car emerge with its fully disappearing retractable hardtop.

The windscreen at the rear of the passenger compartment folds down manually but is a great help at speed if you believe a convertible should be driven top-down at all times (as long as weather permits)!

Close-up of the windscreen.

Putting the top back up for a moment, note the panoramic glass roof and the tinted back window, a great look.

From the inside with the sunshades pulled.

The beautiful view out if you just don't want the wind in your hair that day!

The original Bi-Xenon headlamps are chip, fade and fog free!

These have NOT been replaced!

All four original AMG 18" alloys are straight with nearly new Michelin Z rated rubber - I just perfected the balance on all four on a Hunter Road Force balancer. Note the new brake rotors and pads all the way around done last year along with a full system fluid flush.

The right front rim has a small scuff on it from a tire changer, but no curb rash.

Putting the top back down, let's take a serious look inside...

The car's desirable options include the extra wood trim, heated and cooled full power memory seats, BOSE audio with Mercedes-Benz COMAND Navigation and much more - a great set of creature comforts.

The seats are perfect on both sides, a testament to careful lady ownership!

In addition to heating and cooling, this switch on both seats allows for adjustable bolstering, lumbar support and massage!

The dashboard and center console are perfect with little to no fading to wood, leather and other materials.

Close-up here of the switchgear including the AMG Active Body Control Sport button, the ride height button, mirror controls, convertible top control, climate control and the Keyless Start button on the shifter - you can but do not have to put the key in the ignition slot - just leave it in your pocket.

Navigation and climate control on!

In the center armrest, the latest Mercedes Bluetooth "puck" compatible with all current Android and iPhones, this integrates with the COMAND system.

The steering wheel also has paddle shifters, controls for audio, phone and the display on the instruments.

Present mileage as of today, mileage may go up slightly during the listing at my discretion.

Close-up of the steering wheel, it's immaculate.

Just lovely in one side and out the other!

The original door jamb stickers are clearly all present!

This factory CD changer is in the cubby behind the driver's seat.

The owners manual (and the cover for the Bluetooth adapter in the armrest!) are behind the passenger's seat.

The entire original owners packet is with the car, complete with the original...

Window Sticker!

$109,185 new!

Both original keys just got new batteries.

This car also comes with this rare factory accessory fitted luggage bag that fits over the "hump" and uses the retracting straps in the rear panel. Really a neat piece!

Driver's door panel is just as nice as the passenger's side!

The overhead console has the Homelink garage door opener in the electrochromatic rear view mirror, dome lamps and the microphone for the Bluetooth phone.

Under the hood, the immaculate engine compartment with the gorgeous 5.5 litre V8 engine.

Both starting and main batteries were also replaced recently, genuine MB, of course.

Truly a well-serviced car!

Watch these Super Bowl car commercials [UPDATE]

Sat, Feb 2 2019

On Sunday, February 3, the New England Patriots take on the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 53 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. Some will watch because of the storyline of the old-school dynasty facing off against the new-school wunderkinds, but a large chunk of people will solely be watching for the commercials. Lucky for those who slot into the latter category, many of the manufacturers release their super bowl ads ahead of time, or have simply opted to release the commercials only online. Scroll down to see what car companies have already shown their cards. Audi Audi goes the comedic route in its clip for the Big Game. It starts with a grandpa showing his grandson a gorgeous Audi e-tron GT tucked away in a garage before he's shaken awake. Turns out he was just choking on a cashew in his cubicle at his boring job. Dodge Dodge does what it knows: create enough smoke to punch more holes in the ozone layer. Set to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia (the Super Bowl is in Atlanta, get it!?), a Challenger SRT Hellcat widebody, Charger SRT Hellcat, and Durango SRT are seen ripping through a city, leaving a trail of rubber crumbs in their wakes. Genesis Genesis has not yet released a commercial prior to the Super Bowl, but it is the official luxury vehicle of the NFL. Because of this, Genesis is hosting a fan experience for 10 days before the game. It will showcase the brand's cars, offer games, and have photos opportunities and autograph days. Hyundai Jason Bateman alert! Hyundai is one of the few companies to hook a major celebrity for its advertisement, and the casting is perfect. Bateman plays a doorman who takes people to various terrible events in life, including root canals, the middle seat, and shopping for a car. The ad centers around Hyundai's Shopper Assurance, which is Hyundai's new method for car shopping. Jeep An old 1963 Jeep Gladiator finds its strength in the crusher and transforms into a a new 2020 Gladiator, with a firm declaration that the nameplate is officially back. Kia Through Kia's commercial, a young boy wonders out loud what it'd be like if the millions spent on Super Bowl commercials were used to help others.

Mercedes CLA a sub-$30k car no more

Fri, Dec 12 2014

To be honest, the sub-$30,000 Mercedes-Benz CLA was more a theoretical than a real thing. Squeaking in at $100 below that magical threshold, not counting a $925 destination charge, snagging a CLA anywhere near $30k meant exercising extreme self-control with the options catalog. Perhaps with that thinking in mind, Mercedes is set to effectively scrap the entire idea, with Cars Direct claiming the price on a new CLA is set to increase by about five percent, to $31,500. Adding 4Matic all-wheel drive brings the starting price to $33,500. Even the hot CLA45 AMG is getting a price bump, from $47,450 to $48,500. Frankly, it's impossible to miss where Mercedes is coming from with this move, if it actually happens. The CLA has been one of 2014's unmitigated success stories, selling so well that Mercedes has struggled to keep up with demand. Considering that, a modest price hike is to be expected.

Race Recap: 2013 Japanese Grand Prix flips several scripts [spoilers]

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

Japan's Suzuka circuit is a great track that all the drivers love, but it doesn't usually provide the most thrilling, head-to-head racing. Where it does excel, however, is with surprises and "What just happened there?!" moments, and this year it was no different.
It started with Mark Webber in his Infiniti Red Bull Racing out-qualifying his teammate Sebastian Vettel for the first time this year. They were followed closely by Lewis Hamilton in the first Mercedes-AMG Petronas, the still-solid Romain Grosjean again outdoing teammate Kimi Räikkönen, Felipe Massa racing for another seat in Formula One and putting his Ferrari in fifth, then Nico Rosberg in the second Mercedes, Nico Hülkenberg in the first Sauber, Fernando Alonso in the second Ferrari, and Räikkönen continuing to do himself no favors by qualifying tenth.
For the second year in a row, the lights going out was the cue to start the first corner action...
