UNFORTUNATE DISCLAIMER PLEASE READ EVERY WORD OF THIS LISTING BEFORE CONSIDERING THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU.
AFTER 1500 POSITIVE TRANSACTIONS I JUST RECEIVED BAD FEEDBACK FROM A BUYER WHO PURCHASED A CUSTOM TRUCK FROM ME FOR A VERY LOW PRICE. IT PROBABLY WOULD COST THREE TIMES AS MUCH TO BUILD THE TRUCK. I LISTED IT WITH THE PROS AND CONS INCLUDING OVER 5K IN IMPROVEMENTS. THE BUYER STARTED CALLING ME AND DEMANDING MONEY PRIOR TO EVEN RECEIVING THE TRUCK IN HIS STATE. WHEN HE RECEIVED IT, HE MADE A OUTRIGHT CASH DEMAND FOR 1500 DOLLARS "OR ELSE". HIS LIST OF COMPLAINTS INCLUDED A MISSING SCREW IN HEADLINER, A SMALL "WHINING" NOISE IN THE TRANSMISSION IN THIRD GEAR, AND A NON WORKING TURN SIGNAL BULB. THIS AFTER HAVING ALREADY NEGOTIATED THE PRICE DOWN 1000.00 PRIOR TO BUYING IT. HE THEN TOLD ME I SHOULD HAVE LISTED THE TRUCK AS A "PROJECT" IF I KNEW THE HEADLINER BRACKET WAS MISSING ONE SCREW, AND THAT IT NEEDED A TURN SIGNAL BULB. THIS GUY TAUGHT ME A LESSON FOR FUTURE LISTINGS, AND THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION IS RESPONSIVE TO THIS PERSON. YOUTUBE VIDEO 1 http://youtu.be/5B5HmvP8b-c YOUTUBEVIDEO 2 http://youtu.be/m227Y2_uLXs YOU ARE BIDDING ON A SL 500 MERCEDES FROM THE YEAR 2003. IT HAS 74000 ORIGINAL MILES ACCORDING TO THE TITLE WHICH IS STILL MARKED "ACTUAL" MILES. I ALSO CHECKED CARFAX AND IT OF COURSE REFLECTS LESS, SINCE LAST TIME MILES WERE REGISTERED. THIS IS A ALMOST 12 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. IT HAS NOT BEEN IN MY POSSESSION FOR THOSE 12 YEARS. PLEASE SEND A RETIRED FIREMAN, OR A TRUSTED RELATIVE, OR A SCHOOL TEACHER, OR CALL INSPECT MY RIDE, (ONLINE THIRD PARTY INSPECTION COMPANY WHO WILL SEND AN INSPECTOR TO GIVE YOU A REPORT) OR COME YOUR SELF, OR ANY OTHER OPTION THAT IS AVAILABLE TO YOU TO SEE THIS VEHICLE FOR YOURSELF PRIOR TO PURCHASING IT, IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER EXPECTATION THAN A 12 YEAR OLD CAR.

THIS IS A NICE USED CAR. IT IS A MERCEDES BENZ IT IS NOT A TOYOTA. I RECENTLY READ SOMETHING THAT MADE A LOT OF SENSE, IF YOU CANT AFFORD TO MAINTAIN SOMETHING DONT OWN IT.

Mercedes-Benz may create electric-only brand
Fri, Jun 24 2016Daimler's Mercedes-Benz division may follow in fellow German automaker BMW's footsteps by launching its own separate brand for electric vehicles, Hybrid Cars says, citing German publication Handelsblatt, which quoted people familiar with the process. Daimler's board may make the decision to go ahead with the plan as early next month. And the brand may officially be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in September. Unlike BMW and the i brand, Mercedes would use its existing factories to produce the newly-branded vehicles instead of operating out of a separate one as the i brand does. The first vehicle under the brand is likely to be an SUV model based on the Mercedes-Benz GLC crossover vehicle and would start sales next year. The product line would be broadened further in 2020. Daimler declined to comment, according to Handelsblatt. Mercedes-Benz and BMW wouldn't be the only two German automakers with plans for more electric vehicle sales. Volkswagen has a plan to unleash as many as 20 electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids to the public by 2020, including the Phaeton and the Audi A8. On that note, reports surfaced last month that VW may build its own "Gigafacory" as it prepares to widen its plug-in vehicle push and bring down their costs. As for US sales, Smart sold 313 ForTwo Electric vehicles, down 43 percent from a year earlier. Meanwhile, BMW's i sales in the US fell 40 percent from a year earlier to 2,723. Currently, Mercedes-Benz's only two electric vehicles are the Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive and the Smart ForTwo Electric two-seat vehicle. In the meantime, take a look at Autoblog's First Drive of the B-Class Electric. Related Video: News Source: Handelsblatt, Hybrid Cars Green Mercedes-Benz smart Electric
2017 Aston Marin Lagonda could live on Mercedes M-Class platform
Tue, 29 Oct 2013A few weeks ago, we brought you news from the launch of the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante that the British brand, which is formally known as Aston Martin Lagonda, was still planning on going ahead with a Lagonda-badged crossover. Now comes word that that vehicle could very well be based on a Mercedes-Benz M-Class.
When the first Lagonda Concept debuted at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, it sat on a Mercedes-Benz GL-Class platform, some four years before Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG deal was inked. And with that partnership, which will see Aston Martin gain access to AMG electrics and "bespoke, V8 powertrains," the opportunities for platform sharing are many.
Dr. Ulrich Bez, the boss of Aston Martin, told the UK's AutoCar, "I look at what Porsche is doing with the 911 as its core business and then it is able to do models like the Cayenne based on the Volkswagen Touareg. It is good business." We've said many times that we'll tolerate exotic CUVs and SUVs if it means keeping the beloved core models alive, which has been the case with Porsche. We see no reason Aston Martin wouldn't be able to do the same.
