2002 G500 W/2011 Update - 2011 Grille, Xenon Headlights, Led Taillights on 2040-cars
Newport Beach, California, United States
|
2002 Mercedes Benz G500 that has been tastefully updated with
a new 2009-2011 grille, Xenon headlights, LED taillights, and white
side markers to look exactly like a 2011 model. It has black leather interior to
go with the black exterior, the most popular combination (the gray
interiors look awful in person). An iPod connector with a bluetooth add-on has
also been added and the original 18" wheels have been powder coated
black to give it a distinctive look.
This G-Wagen has been well cared for and is in excellent condition inside and out. I'm only considering selling it because my commute is going to become 75 miles a day and I don't want to put so many miles on this great vehicle. It has been an excellent daily driver for me though, and I've put almost 25,000 miles on it in the last 18 months. As I've always intended to keep it for the long term, I've had a lot of extra work done on it, that didn't have to be done at the time, but will benefit the new owner. In the last 18 months, besides normal maintenance, I've had the following work done on it: - Complete front end rebuild - there were some leaking seals (you'll have that after a dozen years) so while they were taking it apart I had the whole front end done. Full tear down of the axles, replaced all seals/bushings, replaced complete steering linkage assembly and tie rod ends (have receipts) spent over $2500 with independent mechanic that I've used on my Mercedes for years, would have been been over $5K at the MB Dealer. - Complete tune-up including new plugs & wires (16 of them! 2 per cylinder) -New Rotors & Brake Pads in front & back -New Windshield - picked up a chip and hated all the fine chips on the windshield creating glare, so instead of fixing, I paid to replace it (G windshields are not cheap) so it feels like you are looking out of a brand new vehicle when you look out the massive windshield This G runs great, looks great, and all electronics work great. If you are interested, please feel free to ask me any questions, or request a link to additional photos. If possible, I'd prefer to have serious buyers see it in person before the auction closes, so don't hesitate to contact me to come see it. During the week, the G will generally be in Corona and it will usually be in Newport on the weekends, I can work to accommodate showing it in either place. 50+ Pictures Below, for over 130 pictures, go to: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rsdggfh7xpt1iky/AADp9NNnbfcXk-FWhtuF4ee0a |

Mercedes goes boating again with G63 AMG-inspired Cigarette
Wed, 06 Feb 2013Cigarette Racing has another Mercedes-Benz AMG-themed boat headed out to sea. After The SLS AMG-inspired 46-foot Rough Rider in 2010 and the C63 AMG Black Series-inspired 50-foot Marauder in 2012, this year's Miami Boat Show will introduce the 42-foot Huntress, theme provided by the G63 AMG.
The latest Cigarette homage is less overly racy than the ones before, befitting a watercraft modeled off a performance SUV, but don't let the looks fool: there are five Mercury Racing Verado 350SCi outboard engines, each one of them packing a supercharged inline six-cylinder with, natch, 350 horsepower. Those 1,750 horses will be good for 78 miles per hour when you've got some saltwater underneath you.
If you're in South Florida this week, Booth B-23 at the Miami Convention Center could be your best place to see it. Otherwise, like the 536-hp G63 AMG, it could be hard to catch. There's a press release with more information below.
Chicago Car2Go app reportedly hacked, some 100 cars missing
Wed, Apr 17 2019Car2Go launched in Chicago in the summer of 2018, with 400 Daimler cars rolled out on the Windy City streets soon after. But that big fleet just took a big hit: The car-sharing app has now reportedly been hacked, and some 100 cars have been stolen as a result. CBS Chicago is reporting that some of the missing cars have been used to commit crimes. It is yet unclear what the hacking has exactly enabled the perps to do, but the compromised app appears to have opened the doors and given the thieves free rein with easily stolen cars. Within Chicago, there is a 29 square mile area where the vehicles were supposed to be dropped off, but they haven't been limited from exiting that zone at any point. The Chicago Car2Go fleet started out with Smart ForTwo cars and bigger Mercedes-Benz CLA/GLA models; we can imagine the ForTwos are a touch slight for any ram raiding, but an escape car that can vanish in a crowd of other shared Smart cars seems handy for misuse. To address the matter, Car2Go froze its Chicago operations today, saying it is "neutralizing a fraud issue and working together with law enforcement." No personal or confidential user info is said to have been compromised. CBS Chicago's Brad Edwards tweeted today that 12 people have been taken into custody so far, with the story developing as we speak.
Singer Porsche, Koenigsegg, NSX: Leno's life doesn't suck
Tue, Oct 6 2015Jay Leno had quite a productive trip this year during Monterey Car Week. Not only did he get to pal around with Ian Callum and check out the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, but the denim-clad comedian also headed to The Quail to talk to some prominent figures in the modern sports car scene. Capping off the fun, he got to take a drive in a Mercedes-AMG GT S, too Perhaps the highlight of this show is a nearly 10-minute interview with Christian von Koenigsegg. The founder of the Swedish hypercar company digs deep into the Agera One:1's engineering details, relating interesting facts about the aerodynamics and transmission. In addition, Leno chats with Rob Dickenson of Singer about its newly reimagined Porsche 911 Targa, and he gets the latest scoop on the Acura NSX's progress from newly promoted Acura Vice President and General Manager Jon Ikeda. If you like hearing about the nuts and bolts of sports car development, then this video can't be missed. Of course, we were there at Monterey, too, and we pointed our own cameras at some of the amazing machinery, both vintage and modern, at all the various car-focused events of the week. Take a look back at some of our own cool footage in the videos below. Related Video:
