We are pleased to present this absolutely unbelievably GORGEOUS Mercedes-Benz R500 4Matic. These cars are quite special for many reasons, and are becoming increasingly difficult to find. On top of that, it has had the same owner since it was brand new, making it a Carfax Certified One Owner Vehicle! This owner purchased it brand new, and traded it back into the very same Mercedes dealership when they were ready to move on to a new Mercedes-Benz. The R Class is very rare in the USA in general, and the R500 is especially rare. I believe they only made it for two years, and they provide quite a bit more performance, as well as significantly better reliability than the R350. The R500 uses the proven Twin-Spark V8 engine that Mercedes has been making for quite some time, rather than the very new at the time 3.5 V6 which did have timing chain issues in the first few years of production. In fact, my father drives an R350, and had to have the engine rebuilt at about 100,000 miles. There are no such worries with the R500. Also, with over 300 horsepower, the R500 certain has quite a bit more power for spirited acceleration, as well as towing if you should desire. The R500s are very rarely seen on the road because their original price topped $80,000 with options. In fact, at the time of listing, this is the ONLY R500 on ebay.

The interior of the R500 is in incredibly good condition. It has Gray heated seats with beautiful walnut accents on the dash and door panels. The wood accents are trimmed with chrome strips for an added touch of elegance, which you won't find in the R350.The car has the Harman/Kardon LOGIC-7 audio system upgrade which sounds excellent and features more speakers than you can count, including a large subwoofer under the floor in the cargo area. It also has digital signal processing which allows the sound system to mimic the acoustics of various venus, and to taylor the audio for virtually any position in the car. There are also connections for headphones in the rear with individual controls which allow rear seat passengers to listen to a different source of audio. The car also has Sirius Radio. It also has a fully power panoramic moonroof which functions perfectly. Even the fabric sun shade operates with a switch. The previous owner of this car was definitely a non-smoker. The cigarette lighter hasn't even been used, and there is no odor at all.There is a cup holder that accommodates two beverages in the center console. This Mercedes has dual front airbags, as well as front side airbags positioned in the front and rear doors. There are also side curtain airbags for the front and rear passengers including the third row. Both front seats are, of course, fully power with controls on the sides of the seats. As you can see in the pics, there is some cracking starting on the lower outer section of the material on the drivers seat. This R Class also has the very, VERY rare multicontour seats. This is the only R Class that I've seen with them. They allow you to completely taylor the front seats to suit the ergonomics of your body. There are several air bladders within the seats which can be inflated and deflated to change the shape of the seat in any way you prefer. The controls are located on the front of the seat near the center console. The steering wheel is finished in matching wood which is also a fairly rare option. This R500 has the optional 6 Disc CD Changer in the glove box. There is also a single CD player hidden behind the navigation screen, as well as the DVD drive for the navigation system. It also has a very nice DVD-based navigation system which works well. On top of all of this, it has the keyless access and start system. You never have to remove the key from your pocket. When you walk up to the car and put your hand on the door handle, the doors automatically unlock as if by magic. When you get in the car, you simply press the engine start button, and the engine springs to life! The system does have a manual backup in case of emergency. The car has four zone climate control as well as fully electronic climate control for the rear passengers. Both the front and second row of seats are heated as well. The third row is incredibly easy to access by folding the middle seats out of the way by pulling one lever. Both rear rows of seats fold down to create a huge cargo area if necessary. And, last, but not least, the car has front and rear parking sensors with both audio and visual indication. There is a series of LEDs on the dash which indicate the local and proximity of objects in front of the car, and the display for the rear of the car is located on the ceiling above the third row seat and can be seen through the rear view mirror.

The exterior of this R500 is in incredible condition, and is Pewter Silver in color. It really makes the car stand out, and the condition of the paint is absolutely gorgeous. This car could EASILY pass for a car with 50k miles on it. Its condition is incredible! It has the 18"  wheels which are in nearly perfect condition. These particular wheels were exclusive to the V8 models, I believe. There is ABSOLUTELY NO RUST on the body of this car. This car was very well cared for by its owner, and it really shows. This car also spent its entire life in Maryland where there is virtually no winter, so rust would obviously not be an issue. Please note that in the pictures, there is a dent on the right rear door just in front of the door handle. There is also a very small chrome strip missing from the belt trim on the opposite rear door.
               
The tires are all matching and in great condition. They have plenty of tread left. The brakes are in  good shape and the car stops as it should. This R500 drives just like you'd expect a Mercedes to drive. It's very smooth, while still handling well. The engine and transmission operate properly. The full AirMatic system operates perfectly and does not lose pressure or lean ever. The full AirMatic system on these is a fairly rare option and allows you to control the ride height of the car, and it provides an excellent ride quality while giving extellent handling. It also has electronically controlled dampers which feature a sport mode as well as a comfort mode so that you can control the road feel. This is also quite rare for any R Class. This car was a trade-in at the Mercedes dealership. We purchased it from them to offer for sale to our ebay friends. This car is an incredible find, and is something that you would be delighted to own. The car was traded in on a new Mercedes.

      

This car includes a 3 Month 3000 Mile powertrain warranty at no additional charge. The warranty can be used at any repair shop in the United States, no matter where you live. This warranty covers the engine, transmission, and drivetrain. This is in place in order to provide peace of mind when purchasing a car via the internet. Additionally, this warranty can be adjusted to cover nearly every component on the car, and can be extended up to four years and unlimited mileage. Contact us for details on this affordable upgrade in coverage.

In many cases, it is more efficient and economical to have your car shipped to your home or office. There are various options. We have a shipping broker with whom we work that is one of the best in the business, and takes care of every aspect of the shipping process. Additionally, if you're looking for a more economical option, you can get a quote at www.uship.com. If you'd prefer to pick up your new car in person, we offer complimentary shuttle service from the Erie International Airport (ERI), as well as the Erie Pennsylvania Amtrak, Greyhound, and Megabus stations.

Purchasing a car online can definitely allow you, our customer, to get a fantastic deal on exactly the car for which you've been looking. This method is one of the best thigns to happen in the history of the used car business, because you are no longer limited to the small selection of cars offered by your local car dealerships. With affordable shipping to anywhere in the world, it is now easier than ever to find exactly the car you want at a price you like.

Since you're bidding, or making an offer, on a car which you may have not seen in person, it is important that a level of trust be established between you, our customer, and us, the dealership. This is why we post between 30 and 60 high-resolution images of every car we sell on ebay. We pride ourselves in having the most detailed, highest resolution images on ebay, and we use the finest photography equipment in order to catch even the smallest details of the cars that we sell. In addition, the description above provides a comprehensive walk-around of the car including the interior, exterior, and mechanical systems. We even will fill you in on any previous maintenance that we've performed. Regardless, all cars that we sell have been thoroughly checked for safety by our in-house master technician. In addition, we road-test every car we sell very extensively before offering it. If there are any issues with the car that are present, they will be mentioned in the auction. Because we road test the cars extensively, it is possible that the car may have more miles on it than when the auction was listed. We always encourage you to come check out the car in person before bidding or making an offer. If you are too far away to do this, there are several inspection services that can review the car, or we can take the car to a local garage of your choice for a pre-purchase inspection.
         
Please note that a $250 deposit within 24 hours of the end of the auction.  This deposit can be made by contacting us directly and can be paid by credit or debit card over the phone. This allows us to speak with you person-to-person which allows us to fill you in on the process and fine details of the transaction, as well as lets you know that we are real people who are committed to making the process of purchasing your new car as easy and painless as possible. Buying a car should be fun and exciting, not a chore. The balance is due within 7 days via Certified Check, Money Order, or bank wire transfer.  We can also accept credit cards and personal checks for full payment with prior authorization. Simply contact us before bidding or making your offer to let us know that you plan on paying with one of these methods so that we can let you know about additional terms that apply.

Non-paying buyers will be reported to ebay.  We charge a $255 dealer services fee for all transactions. This fee covers any           additional paperwork service, overnighting of paperwork, and dealer prep.  We can provide a temporary cardboard plate for out of state customers at no charge. Pennsylvania residents will need to pay sales tax between 6% and 7% depending upon your county of residence. There are also Pennsylvania fees for the registration, title, and license plate (unless you bring your own plate to transfer).
         
Inexpensive used cars are not at all the same as a brand new car, or certified pre-owned vehicle.  They are in no way flawless, or perfect. As noted above, we try our absolute best to disclose any issues which may be present on the car, however a car's condition is somewhat subjective and opinion based. Where door ding may be considered perfectly acceptable on a 10 year old car, it would never be acceptible on a car which is brand new.  Also, on higher-mileage used cars, it is important to remember that virtually any mechanical or non-mechanical component can fail at any time.  We cannot predict what components will fail in the future, or when they will fail.  This is simply the nature of older higher mileage used vehicles.  The best that we can do is assure that the car is operating properly at the time of purchase. This car is sold as-is, and we cannot be held responsible for any mechanical or non-mechanical failure.  Additionally, because we do not know the inspection requirements of other states, we cannot guarantee that this vehicle will pass any out-of-state inspections.

Five reasons to love, or hate, the culture of German cars

Thu, Mar 5 2015

A few months back, we took a 500-foot view of the culture of American cars, dissecting prides and prejudices on our way to the conclusion that automotive allegiances can be simultaneously embraced and derided. We had so much fun with the narrative that we decided to do it again, this time taking a look at Germany and its world-renowned lineup of automakers, including the likes of Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Volkswagen, among others. Join us below as we discuss the points and counterpoints that make or have made the German auto industry what it is today. And remember, Germany did pretty much invent the automobile, after all... The V12 Engine If America is known for the proliferation of the V8 engine, an argument could be made that Germany owns the V12. Yes, of course, other companies have created V12 engines – Ferrari, Jaguar and Lamborghini immediately come to mind – but the big 12-cylinder powerplants from BMW and Mercedes-Benz, in particular, have proven to be some of the most effortless, luxurious and downright over-built engines the world has ever seen. These days, having 12 cylinders is more a case of wretched excess than ever before, and yet, you can still stroll into your local BMW or Mercedes dealership and get a brand-new 760i, S600 or even an over-the-top G65 AMG, efficiency be damned. Best of all, since the majority of these German powerhouses depreciate as fast as an anchor sinks, nearly any auto enthusiast who dreams of a dozen cylinders can satisfy their carnal desires. Current Star: 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600 View 28 Photos Diesel Engines Remember how we talked about those glorious V12 engines? Well, you can even get one from Audi that runs on diesel. If your compression-ignition fantasies err more on the side of fuel savings, that's no problem, either. Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Volkswagen have got you covered, with engines starting as small as 800 cubic centimeters (Smart Fortwo). If you want something a little more practical, it's hard to argue with a VW Golf TDI, which will provide plenty of space for you and three of your best friends, plus a fair bit of luggage, all while returning 50-ish miles per gallon. For the purposes of this discussion, we'd rather focus on the asinine levels of torque provided by Germany's high-end diesel engines than the lower-end fuel sippers.

Daimler, BMW partnering up on wireless charging

Tue, Jul 15 2014

Plug-in vehicle advocates can get all warm and fuzzy about two Germany heavyweight automakers getting together for the sake of wireless charging. That's because Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler and BMW will work together to speed up development of a wireless charging system. While not a ton of details were divulged, we can still rejoice. Daimler says the system will consist of an on-board coil and another coil that can be placed within the garage floor or someplace similarly stationary. The system will charge at 3.6 kilowatts and with 90 percent efficiency. No details were released about the system's price or when it would be available, but Daimler shouldn't wait too long, since other OEMs are already talking about their own wireless charging systems. Daimler obviously has some skin in the game here, since Mercedes-Benz will start sales of its S500 plug-in hybrid in September. That model, which was first shown off last August at the Frankfurt Auto Show, can go as far as 20 miles on electric power alone and will get fuel economy of about 84 miles per gallon equivalent. And it's easy to imagine an i3 or i8 driver getting a kick out of never needing to touch a cord. This spring, reports sprung up that fellow German automaker Volkswagen was preparing a wireless charging option for its electric vehicles as soon as 2017. You can check out Daimler's press release below. Wireless charging of electric drive and plug-in hybrid vehicles: PLUG IN HYBRID - unplugged One of the next steps on the way to perfect electric drive and plug-in hybrid vehicles is wireless charging. Daimler and BMW have now agreed on jointly developing and implementing one common technology. Wireless charging of the battery will make the handling of electric drive and plug-in hybrid vehicles even easier. Mercedes-Benz will commence fleet testing of this "unplugged" technology with the S 500 Plug in HYBRID soon, in order to develop a real S-Class solution in recharging the high voltage battery in terms of comfort and ease of operating in the near future. The system consists of two components: a secondary coil integrated into the under tray of the car and a primary coil integrated into a floor plate that can be placed on a garage floor for instance. Electrical energy is transmitted contact-free without the need for a cable, at a power rate of 3.6 kW and with a degree of efficiency of 90%.

Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet is the ultimate safari machine

Mon, Feb 13 2017

Update: A Mercedes representative has informed us that the Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet will not be available in the United States. The text has been updated to reflect this. Vehicles such as the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6 and G500 4x42 are all well and good, but they have one key issue: They simply aren't extravagant enough. Now we know that sounds insane because one of those vehicles has six driven wheels and the other is available in tennis-ball green. But they must not be decadent enough because Mercedes went a step further with the new Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet. While the most obvious change here is the soft-top, which will make this perfect for the wealthy to view wildlife on private safaris, we should start under the hood. The previous two monster G-Wagens made do with lowly V8s. This one features a twin-turbocharged V12 making 630 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. Like its predecessors, this G650 uses a four-wheel-drive system with front, center, and rear differential locks, and sends power to solid portal axles front and rear. These axles move the differential and drive axles above the wheel centers for additional ground clearance. Inside, the rear passengers will be in the lap of luxury, even while the driver is navigating particularly harsh terrain. The soft top can be electrically raised or lowered, as can a glass partition to the driver's compartment. The two individual rear seats can be fully reclined, and leg rests deploy from below, taking full advantage of the truck's long wheelbase. This would likely make for an amazing vehicle for stargazing. The passengers also have access to folding tables, 10-inch LCD displays, and heated, cooled, and illuminated cup holders. Only 99 of these G650s will be built. Mercedes will show the SUV at this year's Geneva show, and it will hit the market this fall. Mercedes hasn't announced pricing, but expect it to be exorbitant. Not that matters for American buyers, since a Mercedes representative told us it won't be offered in the States. For buyers in countries where the G650 will be available, they will have the option of four interior color schemes, three soft-top colors, and four paint hues. Related Video:
