Up for auction is my 1995 Mercedes AMG C36.  If you know these cars then you know how rare they are.  This is the first AMG sold through Mercedes and depending on where you look there were only 200-400 brought to the US.  I have only had this car for a couple of months, I'm a BMWCCA member and bought this because I've always liked them and it's the first one I've seen for sale locally in the silver/black color combo I like.  Since I bought it I've had the need come up to buy a truck so unfortunately the car has to go.  The previous owner replaced the troublesome engine wire harness and also replaced the head gasket and had the head decked and checked.  I have receipts for over $3,000 for that work about 10k miles ago.  The car has a nice stance sitting on H&R springs and Bilstein Sport shocks.  The ride is still very nice and not sacrificed by the springs.  It has factory AMG staggered 17" monoblock wheels.


Since I've owned it I replaced the front tires (rears are still great tread), changed out the grille to a factory piece (I'll also include the blackout grill that came with the car).  I also changed out the transmission filter and fluid using synthetic.  

The body is very straight and in great shape, the only dent I've noticed is a small on in the driver's door that could easily be fixed by a paintless guy if you cared to do that.  There is no rust on the car.  The antenna is broken off but I'll include a new mast that I purchased for the car.

The interior is VERY nice.  The only issues being the headliner is dropping in the rear and the woodgrain panels have some cracks.  Power seats work great, sunroof and all windows work properly.  The driver's side door lock works some of the time, the other 3 and trunk work great.  AC and heater work great as new.  Factory radio works but the display does not show up so you can't see where it's tuned.  The car is equipped with a factory cell phone that works along with the panel under the radio for hands free use (of course there is no service and you probably can't get a carrier assigned to it, but it's still cool).

The engine runs great and has not given me any issues.  I did notice after purchase that the intake crossover tube is cracked so that should be replaced.  The transmission shifts great.  The factory AMG exhaust sounds great and has the chrome AMG tips at the rear bumper.  The fuel gauge works when it's in a good mood.  I fill it up with 93 octane premium when the trip meter hits 200 so it's not really an issue for me.

Please look at all the pictures and ask any questions before bidding.  I've priced the car less than what I paid for it so I can sell it quickly and get a truck.  I require a $500 deposit via paypal within 24 hours of the end of the auction and the balance within 5 days via certified check, wire transfer, or cash in person.  I can assist with shipping from my end but it's up to you to pick a shipper and get that scheduled.  If you want to fly in and get the car I can most likely pick you up at IAH airport depending on when you arrive.  Being a used car, there is no warranty.

Daimler CEO says nobody is making money on EVs right now

Wed, Nov 5 2014

What do you charge for a vehicle you're going to lose money on? If you're Mercedes-Benz and the vehicle in question is the B-Class Electric Drive, you offer it for lease for just 399 euros ($498) a month with a down payment of 8,473 euros ($10,582). If Daimler was going to price it honestly, it seems, the number would have to be a lot higher. "Nobody today is making a battery-powered vehicle that's economically viable." – Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche That's according to Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche, who spoke to reporters in Spain recently and said that, "You can reasonably say that nobody today is making a battery-powered vehicle that's economically viable in its own right. Manufacturers will not see a return within a reasonable time on the billions they're investing now." There are ways to make money in EVs, of course. Just ask Daimler, which recently sold its stake in Tesla for a cool $780 million. Zetsche has some EV-critical company in executives like Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne, who has said his company loses over $10,000 on each Fiat 500E it sells. Other automakers – e.g., Tesla, Nissan – are much more positive about their financial bet on EVs, but no one is opening all their books to the public to prove this. Tesla, which worked with Mercedes on the B-Class ED, will have an earnings call with investors later today, so perhaps we'll learn something new in a few hours. The B-Class ED lease deal is for 36 months, based on an MSRP of 39,151 euros ($48,895) in Europe, including the 19 percent VAT. You can read more in the press release below. Commercial release of Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive: Local emission-free driving from ˆ399/month Stuttgart, Nov 03, 2014 With its high-torque electric motor, the B-Class Electric Drive delivers lively and superior driving pleasure – with zero local emissions. The B-Class Electric Drive is now available to order, with deliveries set to start before the end of 2014. Prices start at ˆ39,151[1]. The B-Class Electric Drive can be leased through the Mercedes-Benz Bank from ˆ399 a month[2]. Further information on the full range of tailor-made leasing and financing offers as well as specific pricing examples are available at http://www.mercedes-benz-bank.de. Quiet and local emission-free driving is ensured by a 132 kW electric motor, which, as is typical of an electric drive, delivers its maximum torque of 340 Nm right from the start. The result is noticeably powerful acceleration from rest.

Weekly Recap: Ferrari looks to reclaim old success with new manager

Sat, Nov 29 2014

Clearly, Ferrari doesn't race for fourth place, and this week, major changes continued at the Scuderia. It was a rough year for Ferrari, and the Scuderia conducted its season-ending tests in Abu Dhabi this week with a view toward a fresh start in 2015 with new leaders and a new ace driver. Though plenty of other Formula One teams were disappointed with their finishes in 2014, Ferrari was perhaps the most eager to put this season in its rear-view mirror. The Scuderia finished a distant fourth in the Constructors standings with 216 points, well behind No. 1 Mercedes (701 points), and Ferrari failed to win a single race as the Silver Arrows dominated the grid. It was an especially bitter pill for a team that claims 16 Constructors championships and 15 Drivers titles – the most in history – and is the only surviving team from F1's first season, 1950. Clearly, Ferrari doesn't race for fourth place, and this week, major changes continued at the Scuderia. Ferrari named Philip Morris executive Maurizio Arrivabene as team principal. He replaced Marco Mattiacci, who held the job for only seven months after taking over for Stefano Domenicali, who resigned in April amid the Scuderia's early-season struggles. Phillip Morris (through its Marlboro brand) is a key Ferrari sponsor, and that played a role in Arrivabene's ascension. Still, he's no stranger to F1, and has been intimately involved in the Ferrari-Marlboro partnership. He also has served as the sponsors' representative on the FIA's F1 Commission since 2010. In a statement, new Ferrari chairman Sergio Marchionne said: "We decided to appoint Maurizio Arrivabene because, at this historic moment in time for the Scuderia and for Formula One, we need a person with a thorough understanding not just of Ferrari, but also of the governance mechanisms and requirements of the sport." Arrivabene's background is primarily in marketing and communication, and most recently he held the title of vice president of consumer channel strategy and event marketing for Philip Morris. He has been with the company since 1997. Arrivabene now leads a team that's rife with change. Marchionne took over in October when longtime boss Luca di Montezemolo quit in a disagreement about Ferrari's future, and the company itself will be spun off from parent Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in 2015.

Mercedes-Maybach SUV concept: Vision Ultimate Luxury interior teased

Wed, Apr 18 2018

Mercedes-Maybach posted a teaser video of what it calls "the ultimate in luxury" last week, saying that the featured, yet-to-be-named vehicle would be presented in the Beijing Motor Show. Now there's a teaser sketch giving us a wider look of the concept's interior, as well as a name. The concept also has a name by now: the Vision Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury. We guess that might have been coming, even if the name isn't exactly concise. But, the accompanying release also informs us that the concept is a combination of a high-end sedan and an SUV, confirming that it is indeed the high-riding vehicle that's been rumored for a while. The interior sketch also shows a very wide center console with stylized grab handles, which suit the SUV dimensions and aesthetic, without being as trucklike as the Maybach G650 Landaulet's interior. As well as the lavish two-tone color scheme and the touch of wood on the door panel, the concept interior shows a wide color instrument display ahead of the driver. The gear selectors are paddle shifters next to the chunky steering wheel rim, and the controls seem to have been grouped on the wheel's spokes, leaving just a few switches on the dashboard. Autocar reports that the concept will be followed by a 2019 production version, slated to debut at the Los Angeles show at the end of this year. It would be based on the Mercedes-Benz GLS, but with a more bespoke design inside out, as hinted by the concept. Basing it on the GLS would mean Mercedes would be manufacturing it at the Tuscaloosa plant in Alabama, making it the first Maybach built in the U.S. Related Video: Image Credit: Mercedes-Maybach Beijing Motor Show Maybach Mercedes-Benz SUV Concept Cars Luxury mercedes-maybach
