You are bidding on a 2001 CL55 AMG in beautiful condition. The car drives and runs really well, and a joy to show off. The engine sounds great, runs strong and powerful. Car comes from warmer (south) climate than Chicagoland, where it sits now. I have owned it for nearly two years. I have only driven it a few times during the winter and otherwise stored in my nice warm/dry garage during this season. No sign of rust anywhere I have seen.

There are the usual wear marks on the car, although very little considering its young age. I have tried to capture them all on the photos. As examples, you can see the blemishes on the front bumper where the top coat has "blistered" in some areas (not noticeable unless up close), and a few small dings on side panels, and some scratches on the lower/center part of back bumper. Body is otherwise in great shape and paint is beautiful. Absolutely love how this paint type changes appearance with the changing outside light and time of day. I always receive many compliments from car owners who know what this machine is. 

The only body work I have done to car, and that I can see ever was done to the car, is the rear (trunk) spoiler had a small crack in it when I bought it. A local body shop fixed and painted it for me. To my knowledge, all features of the car work excepts the driver's seat massage feature. I have not tried to fix it nor had it quoted for repair so it could be cheap or expensive but I don't know. A feature frankly I have never needed so just not worth fixing for me.

The car has been maintained by St. Charles Motorsports (IL) while I have owned it - a great local high-end shop (Porsche, BMW's, MBZ, Ferrari's etc. etc. are always in their shop).

I am picky with my cars so we have put a lot more into the car than I am asking. Your gain, my loss!

To name a few of the items we have done (bought at 53,000 miles on car):

1. Custom 19" wheels and tires with only 2,000 miles on the them (maximum).  Continental Extreme ZR rated. A fantastic and strong tire for this powerful car.
2. Serviced all brakes with new pads, new discs in rear, and machined front discs. 
3. Rear Spoiler repair (mentioned above).
4. New rubber grommets on side mirrors (most used cars have these broken - looks horrible so we put new ones on).
5. Added a MBZ cup holder (and engineering marvel).
6. Bought complete new operating manuals and Navigation discs. Old ones were incomplete.
7. Added a second new key (two keys come with car).
8. Replaced driveshaft rubber coupling and balanced shaft.
9. A/C fully serviced - 500 miles ago.
10. Car serviced 1,500 miles ago. Next oil change service at approx. 67,000 miles.
11. All oils and fluids replaced when I bought car (brake fluid, transmission, rear differential, coolant) - about 10,000 miles ago. Not needed according to MBZ or the manual but I did it just because...
12. New water pump and serpentine belt - 500 miles ago.
13. Replaced left rear tail light (entire light fixture) as circuit board caused light diodes to "flicker" on a rare occasion.
....and many more details.

Good luck bidding and please ask questions if you need clarification.

Mercedes C350e PHEV will start at 51,000 euros

Tue, Feb 3 2015

Mercedes-Benz will start selling its C350 Plug-In Hybrid in Europe next month, for a somewhat reasonable price. The Daimler division has announced the sedan will cost about 51,000 euros ($58,000 US). Which isn't insanely expensive by Benz standards. Mercedes first showed off the model stateside at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit last month, and the specs were pretty impressive. The car delivers a combined 275 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque from its gas-powered engine and electric motor. The C350 PHEV also offers a 112 miles per gallon equivalent fuel efficiency rating (using the more lenient European driving cycle) alongside a 0-60 mile per hour acceleration time of less than six seconds. And the car can go as far as 20 miles on electricity while reaching a top speed of 130 miles per hour. Both lead-footers and tree-huggers can rejoice at that. Americans won't be that far behind their European brethren, as the model will go on sale as a 2016 model-year version in the US this fall. In the meantime, for some more information on a sedan that we think qualifies as a bit of guilt-free fun, take a look at Mercedes's press release below. Sales release for the C 350 e: Future inside Stuttgart, Feb 02, 2015 Stuttgart – As a plug-in hybrid, the new Mercedes-Benz C 350 e combines an extraordinary level of efficiency, dynamism and comfort. In both its Saloon and its Estate guise, the performance of a sports car makes it a convincing proposition, especially combined with certified consumption figures of just 2.1 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres and a range of up to 31 kilometres in all-electric mode. Both the Saloon and the Estate model are equipped with air suspension and a pre-entry climate control system as standard, delivering a unique level of driving and climate comfort. The C 350 e is available to order now from 50,961.75 euros for the Saloon and 52,627.75 euros for the Estate (prices include VAT). Both vehicles will be at dealerships from March 2015. As a plug-in hybrid, the C 350 e combines a combustion engine with an electric drive system and a high-voltage lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 6.38 kWh, which can be charged from an external power source. Thanks to an intelligent on-board charging system, this takes approximately one hour and 30 minutes at a wallbox. A charging time of around two hours is achievable via a socket.

Autoblog Unplugged: 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG

Fri, Feb 6 2015

Mercedes-Benz's AMG division entered new territory in late 2013 with the launch of the CLA45, an all-wheel-drive sedan (with front-wheel-drive underpinnings) motivated by a turbocharged, four-cylinder engine. But it wasn't any old turbo-four – the boosted 2.0-liter powerplant claimed the title of most powerful production four-cylinder engine. From behind the wheel, we loved its turbo-heavy antics and steer-it-with-the-throttle dynamics. Now, Mercedes offers the GLA-Class – a small crossover based on that CLA architecture. And rather than just leave it alone in GLA250 guise, the AMG folks created the tiny-tough GLA45 high-riding hatch you see here. It's got the same 355-horsepower, 332-pound-feet turbo-four underhood, a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and a unique sound that's unlike anything you might expect from a small CUV. That's why we took to some of our favorite backroads to capture another Autoblog Unplugged video with the GLA45. There's no talking, no music, no rizzle-razzle – just shots of the GLA45 driving down our favorite winding roads with nothing but the sweet, throaty sounds of the AMG powerplant. Good luck holding back your giggles when you hear the braaap of a quick gear-change. Mercedes-Benz Crossover Luxury Performance Videos mercedes gla-class mercedes gla45 amg
