Up for auction is our pristine 2003 Mercedes-Benz CL600 Coupe, with a Twin Turbo V12 motor.
This top-of-the-line model puts out 493 silky-smooth horsepower that feels and sounds like a jet airplane taxing on a runway.
Getting to 60 miles per hour in 4.6 seconds is not too bad. Top speed is electronically limited to 155 illegal miles per hour.

Do your Google search and you will see that this top-of-the-line model comes with tons of expensive options.
Go to Wikipedia and type in 2003 Mercedes CL600 and then scroll down to "W215" models.

The best highway mileage I got was 22 mpg (freeway) according to the onboard computer.
I did that by staying under 2,000 rpm (about 70 mph) with cruise control on.

I'm an old motorhead geezer that has owned many classic high-performance cars but this is the nicest one of all.
It took me a very long time to find it. It had been a leased car in Arizona, then went to southern California and
then north to my town of Los Altos, California. It has never been driven in snow or salt, as far as I know.

Because we are retired, the car very seldom gets driven, thus the low mileage of 50, 2XX. It is parked in a heated garage.
Also, when this car is driven in sunshine the rear window sun-screen is always used. This is done
to protect the rear interior of the car. It works great, and is easily raised or lowered with a push of a button on the dash.

I'm a former certified Mercedes-Benz Concours d'Elegance judge and have shown this car at Treasure Id., San Francisco
and at the Palo Alto Concours with the Mercedes-Benz Club. Since I was a judge it was only for show, not competition.

The original price in 2003 (OTD) was $140,000! Now you can get it at a fraction of this price.
This car comes with the optional $5,600 AMG body package, wider rear wheels and chrome AMG wheels. Motor is stock.
This is why it might be a little higher than some of the other CL600s on eBay.

When I first got it there was a small blemish on the chrome grill so I had a new one installed (see photo).
The Michelin tires were replaced recently, as well as new brakes. The spare tire has never been used.
While I owned it, it has always been hand washed and waxed with Zymol. As far as I know, it has never been smoked in.
Ash trays (front and rear) have never been used (see photo).

This past year over $10,000 of new parts have been put in, such as a new ABC (Active Body Control) system, tires, brakes, radiatior,
timing belt, water pump, etc., etc.

The exterior color is Bright Silver and the interior color is Ash. Speaking of the interior, when you get inside
you think you are in a brand new car. Since we have owned it there were no children or pets inside.
In my opinion, it happens to have the most comfortable seat on the planet!
Both front seats heat up, cool down and the front ones give you a massage while driving. How cool is that?

All controls operate as designed. It comes with original manuals, Mercedes-Benz CD maps,
Mercedes unused first-aid kit, and original unused tools (see photo).
It also comes with 4 black WeatherTech floor mats. These are great for protecting the original carpeting.

The only flaw that I am aware of are hairline cracks in the front fenders (very typical of CL models).
I have all receipts for parts and repairs since purchasing it in early 2008.

The car is registered in California up to January 2015!

It comes with no warranty and is sold as is, where is.
PLEASE NOTE: The personal license plates are not included in the sale. Also, since I am listing this locally
I reserve the right to close this auction early.

If you have any questions feel free to phone me at: (1-650) 941-8621

SHIPPING: This is 100% buyer's responsibility. I have used (enclosed trailer) Intercity Lines, Inc. (Jay Leno uses them)

PAYMENT: $500.00 deposit (through PayPal) is due within 72 hours of end-of-auction.
Balance is due within 10 days of end-of-auction.
If balance is paid by Cashier's Check the car will not be released
until the check has completely cleared my bank, which could take up to two weeks.

If you want to fly to my area and drive it home I will gladly pick you up at the San Jose or San Francisco Airport.

In case you forgot, the Dubai Police supercar fleet is the coolest

Tue, Feb 10 2015

Ever wonder why the Dubai Police have a fleet of vehicles worth millions and millions and millions of dollars? Why it has a Bugatti Veyron and a Bentley Continental and a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG with sirens and light bars? Well, here's the reason. This video shows the fleet on display on the Emirate's roads and highways, while also reaching out to the people the police are meant to protect. It's an impressive display of machinery, to be sure. Alongside the Bentley, Bugatti and Mercedes, we spy a Ferrari FF, a Brabus G-Wagen, a BMW M6, a Nissan GT-R, an Audi R8 and a McLaren MP4-12C (although the latest Dubai Police car, the Lexus RC F, is absent). The video even has a very cinematic look and feel to it, which works well with the night scenes and the blues-and-twos of the exotics cruisers.

Geely wants to be a tech-sharing 'friend' of Daimler in $9B bet

Sat, Feb 24 2018

Chinese carmaker Geely has built up an almost 10-percent stake in Daimler in a $9 billion bet by its chairman that he can access the Mercedes-Benz owner's technology in the growing battle for the future of automotives. The purchase by Li Shufu, Geely's founder and main owner, means China's largest privately-owned automaker is now the biggest shareholder in Germany's Daimler. Geely said on Saturday there were no plans "for the time being" to raise the stake further. Instead, it will seek to forge an alliance with Daimler, which is developing electric and self-driving vehicles, to respond to the challenge from new competitors such as Tesla, Google and Uber. "No current car industry player is likely to win this battle against the invaders from outside without friends. To achieve and assert technological leadership, one has to adapt a new way of thinking in terms of sharing and combining strength. My investment in Daimler reflects this vision," Li said. "Daimler is pleased to announce that with Li Shufu it could win another long-term orientated shareholder, which is convinced by Daimler's innovation strength, strategy and future potential," the German company said in a statement. Geely officials plan to travel to Stuttgart to meet Daimler executives early next week and also hope to meet top German government officials in Berlin, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. The Chinese firm plans to use the meetings to underline that it intends to be a supportive long-term investor, they said. Daimler had no immediate comment on any meetings. Geely and the German economy ministry declined to comment. Chinese investors in German technology companies have tended to take a consensual approach, buying incremental stakes in companies such as robotics firms Kuka and Kion, typically after long consultation with management and other stakeholders. In November, Geely asked Daimler to issue new shares so it could buy a stake, as a way to access Mercedes-Benz technology for electric cars and trucks, including battery technology, to help Geely comply with a Chinese crackdown on pollution. But the German company turned down the offer saying it did not want to dilute existing shareholders, sources at the time told Reuters. Li changed tactics, and quietly amassed a stake of 9.69 percent worth $9 billion at Daimler's current share price.

Next Mercedes-Benz GLK to get AMG variant? Not likely...

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

If you think Mercedes-Benz will slap an AMG badge on anything with wheels, think again. Word has it the German manufacturer will not offer buyers a performance version of the GLK, with Tobias Moers, director of AMG vehicle development, saying that he doesn't see a market for the car. That's not to say the picture won't change in the near future, however. According to CarAdvice.com, AMG is keeping a close eye on the arrival of the Porsche Macan.
"Maybe there will be a change in the market when the Porsche [Macan] comes up," Moers said, "but right now, no."
The real hitch in the giddy-up seems to be cost. Moers says developing the machine into something worthy of an AMG would represent "a huge investment." We can't exactly argue with that. Fortunately, AMG buyers have plenty of Mercedes-Benz models to choose from.
