Minor scrapes on the underneath of the vehicle from scraping speed bumps etc."

Selling a 2003 Mercedes SL500 230R Roadster. Seller is only the second owner and the car has 80,000. On average, car has seen 8,000 miles a year. The car is fully loaded minus Pano Roof, Distonic Cruise, and Voice Command. The vehicle has been meticulously maintained and is near perfect condition. Always garaged, always professionally detailed and professionally maintained. The suspension has three ride heights that can be selected from inside the car, the bottom setting has been reprogrammed to sit 2.5 inches lower but the mid and high ride height remain at factory settings. The only other modifications to the car are tasteful 20 inch rims with about 10,000 miles on them, smoked lights, tinted windows, and painted grills, vents and badges. The exhaust has had the rear resonators deleted, which is 100% smog legal. The exhaust is still very quiet at low rpms with a tasteful rumble at mid and upper rpm range.

The car is standard equipped with AMG, Sport, and Launch Packages. The vehicle has a stock BOSE sound system with integrated navigation and a six disc CD changer. The sound system also has speed sensitive volume adjust, 8 speakers and a subwoofer with an aux audio input. The interior is leather with wooden trim, heated/cooled/pulsating seats with 3 position memory and the driver said moves back and raises the steering wheel automatically for easy exit. For safety the car has front and side airbags, as well as a knee airbag for the driver and electronic parking sensors on both the front and back of the car. The car is also equipped with braktronic brake assist which preloads the brakes when you let off the gas quickly at high speeds. The brakes also "pulsate" in the rain to keep the braking surface dry for optimal braking. The brakes are also equipped with a electronic force distribution system that prevents brake steer under heavy breaking. At 60 mph you can put your hands on the roof and stand on the brakes, the car will not veer left or right, it will not dive, it will come to a slow and smooth stop. The suspension is electronically activated, hydraulic pneumatic actuators that assist in anti body roll (ABC). When equipped, the car will automatically adjust in turns to stiffen one side and soften the other so the car stays level in turns and the car will also automatically lower itself at speed to reduce drag. The transmission is a "learning" transition which will adjust its shift points to your driving style and it also has a "wet" and "sport" mode that has preset shift points. The car also has speed proportional power steering which stiffens as needed for optimal steering. Basically with 302 hp @ 5600 RPM and 339 ftlbs @ 2700 the car is comfortably fast and accommodates the drive in every facet. The hard top convertible is the cars finest selling point, even in the down position offering a considerable amount of trunk space.

Tastefully fast, aggressive and classy the SL series is truly a gentle mans sports car. I was fortunate enough to buy this from a gentleman who took terrific care of it, and I have followed in suit. Car has been professionally maintained and I have all receipts. All manufacturer recalls have been performed, and the car has only been worked on by Mercedes mechanics with Mercedes parts and fluids, to Mercedes specifications.

I will ship the car at buyers expense, and require a deposit within 72 hours of the close of the auction. Require pickup within ten days of the close of the auction. Will meet or deliver locally to San Diego/Los Angeles area.

The Mansory Speranza proves that money can buy taste and good sense...

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

...Just kidding.
No one in their right mind has ever accused German tuners Mansory of being subtle. So, when our Geneva team wandered across the Mansory Speranza - A Mercedes-Benz Gelandewagen that has been denuded of its roof and spackled inside with quilted leather and red carbon fiber - they didn't ask a lot of existential questions. Why does the Speranza exist? Because Germans are weird sometimes, that's why.
Forget for a moment that you'll have to pay Mansory hundreds of thousands of euros (we're guessing, no pricing information has been revealed) for the privilege of converting your G-Class into something that looks like a Suzuki Samurai, and prepare to be impressed by the details. The tuning house has increased the output of the Mercedes V8 to a healthy 700 horsepower and 668 pound-feet of torque. The wheels are 24-inches, and wear almost unbelievable 305-section ultra-high performance Vresdestein tires. Carbon fiber can be found nearly everywhere one looks, including making up the housing for the spare tire. Oh, and there are leather pillows for the backseats... no word on whether they're standard or optional, but we're looking in to it.

Mercedes may end Tesla supply agreement for B-Class Electric Drive

Mon, Aug 24 2015

The Mercedes-Benz B Class Electric Drive has only been rolling off the production line for 17 months, each one equipped with a battery pack and drivetrain from Tesla Motors, but already there is talk of big upcoming changes. According to a report from the German publication Auto Motor und Sport, the next-generation version of this model will see an end to the Tesla-supplied tech and a hugely improved range. Currently, the electric sedan gets an EPA-rated 87 miles of range, using 28 kWhs of its 36-kWh battery, though its now-standard "Range Plus" package takes advantage of more of the pack, stretching that driving to 100 miles or so. It may take a year or several – the model just had a refresh Â– but expect those distance digits to double. The rumored range is said to be 500 km (310.7 miles), but since that would likely be calculated using the European drive cycle, expect something significantly lower stateside; say 220-ish official miles. This would be in keeping with expectations from a number of battery-powered competitors in the 2017-2018 time frame. It is unknown if this supposed next-gen B Class Electric Drive is in any way related to the rumored "Ecoluxe" program. The Tesla/Daimler relationship stretches back to 2009, when the Stuttgart-based outfit made a significant investment in the California automaker, quite possibly saving it from extinction in the process. We have reached out Mercedes-Benz about this report, but as of this writing, have not had a reply. We will update this post when we hear back.
