"several have asked yes it is automatic 7 speed"
I purchased this car for my home in Miami, yada yada yada my girlfriend left and I no longer have my home in Miami so I drove the car back to my Phoenix home.
This car had a rebuilt title when I purchased it. I drove it for almost 20,000 miles, even back and forth from Miami to Phoenix two times without one issue. On the road I got about 30 mpg.
When I purchased it the guy explained it was a theft recovery and there was some damage to the drivers door. Since the insurance company paid it off and there was some damage to the door it had to be titled as rebuilt. The computer was replaced because the old one was stolen so the mileage had to be listed as unknown. The rims were also replaced because they were stolen.
I took it to Mercedes of Miami for a full inspection, they said the car was perfect and the mechanic could not find any damage. The mechanic also said the milage (36,000) was accurate for the inspection. He advised for new tires and changing the brake fluid. I put new tires on about 5000 miles ago and never changed the brake fluid.
This car looks and runs great. I would have no issue driving it to anywhere in the country.
Problems with the car;
The GPS and road maps do not come up on the display.
On the left rear of the bumper there is a chip of paint knocked off from another vehicle grazing it (see pic).
On the passenger door one of my mountain bikes fell over and put a couple pressure dents. Hard to see unless you look close. I took it to a paintless det repair place and they told me $75 to fix it. But I did not have the time to leave it (see pic).
I have been straight forward and honest. I can tell you the car looks great and runs perfectly. There are no mechanical issues and you can jump in and take it anywhere.
I am listing this at a great low start price with no reserve. If you are the winning bidder you bought it. If you would like to see and drive the car I am in Mesa Arizona.
Sold As Is
Please ask if you have questions and do not bid unless you intend to finish the transaction.
Thank you for looking Paul
Please note the car needs to be washed in the pictures it is filthy it has been raining non stop in Phoenix.

Here's how Detroit is selling more luxury vehicles than Germany and Japan
Sun, Dec 14 2014Now there's an attention-grabbing headline, eh? Although the answer to the riddle - pickup trucks and SUVs - might be somehow deflating, the numbers involved deserve a going over. According to TrueCar's figures (click on the table to enlarge), six of the year's ten best-selling vehicles in the US that sell for a transaction price above $50,000 are body-on-frame, and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the only foreigner to crack the top five. Every enthusiast knows that pickup trucks are 'Murica's most popular vehicle by a colossal margin, and there have been plenty of reports about the popularity of luxuriously appointed trucks and SUVs, but compare these figures from TrueCar: 70 percent of Chevrolet Tahoe sales have a transaction price above $50K, and The Bowtie is expected to make $3.9 billion in revenue on 66,945 predicted high-dollar sales; 95.1 percent of E-Class sales break $50K, so the German company will make $4.0 billion on 67,006 predicted sales in that pricing sphere. It's about the only time you'll see the Tahoe ranked right next to Mercedes' bread-and-butter sedan. Ram is ahead of those two with $4.2B coming from $50K-plus sales. The Ford F-Series does almost as much revenue as the next three combined, with an expected $10.8 billion coming from sales of trucks over $50K - more than a quarter of the model's total sales, when a base F-150 can be had for about $26,000. Yes, the Germans make a lot more money on fewer sales, but considering the comparison, the bottom line isn't too troubled by such facts. Weighing like-for-like, the full-size Ford walks it in every category; elsewhere, the Chevrolet Silverado outsells the Ram, but the Ram outsells the Chevy by 6.7 percent above $50K. And for all the flak GMC takes over swapping out grilles, the Sierra also outsells the Chevy in the well-appointed segment, 16.1 percent of sales versus 11 percent – the Professional Grade brand is a huge profit center for The General. You'll find more info in the TrueCar press release below. TrueCar finds pickup trucks far outsell premium brands among top 10 vehicles over $50,000 Ford F-Series pickup sales over $50,000 surpass combined BMW 3, 5, 7 Series luxury car sales SANTA MONICA, Calif. (December 10, 2014) - TrueCar, Inc., the negotiation-free car buying and selling platform, finds mainstream pickup trucks and sport-utility vehicles dominate U.S.
Carlsson SLK 340 Judd is winged up for hill climb glory
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Carlsson has been expertly tuning Mercedes-Benz products for more than 20 years now, but we can't say as we remember the outfit turning out anything quite so racy as this SLK 340 Judd that it has brought along to the Geneva Motor Show this year.
This SLK is meant for competition, obviously, and Carlsson has already booked the car to race in several hill climb events in the E1 category. The purpose-built racer should have a fighting chance to do well in said races, with a shape vetted in wind tunnel testing for maximum downforce, the SLK uses a carbon-fiber bodyshell to help achieve a curb weight of just about 1,720 pounds.
The featherweight SLK's name comes from its 3.4-liter V8 engine, which churns out a wicked 610 horsepower to go with its 317 pound-feet of torque. A Hewland transmission with paddle shift operation manages all of the thrust.
Mercedes-Benz to build new ML coupe-crossover in Alabama in 2015
Fri, 05 Sep 2014Mercedes-Benz will expand its factory in Tuscaloosa, AL, to build the ML Coupe, a new crossover that will join its lineup in 2015. Mercedes will also ramp up production to build facelifted versions of the M-Class and GL-Class SUVs, lifting the factory's total production capacity to about 300,000 units annually in 2015. It made 185,000 vehicles in 2013. In addition to SUVs, the Tuscaloosa site also makes the C-Class sedan.
The plans come as part of Mercedes' strategy to capitalize on Americans' increasing demands for SUVs. The company said the SUV market was up 12 percent in first half of 2014, and expects it to grow at twice the rate of the regular market in 2015 and 2016.
"We are seeing climbing demand for SUVs." - Dieter Zetsche
