Let me introduce you to Max. My Mercedes SL500 2001 AMG 2 door Convertible which i am reluctantly putting up For Sale due to relocating to Ireland. This low Millage (61500miles) Mercedes Sports car is becoming a Mercedes Classic with many people starting to view them as collectors if in great condition. I bought this car last year and would love to keep it as absolutely love driving it, the 5.0V8 engine is incredibly power full and incredibly smooth. I have carried out some repairs to it since i bought it which are common on these models:
1) Alternator and Serpentine Belt & Idler & pulley replaced
2) Engine & Gearbox serviced with new oil & filters
3) Convertible roof Hydraulic cylinders removed and replaced as they are common for leakage
4) Repaired brocken vacuum pipes in central locking system
5) Replaced Broken center dash Air vent controls

The car comes as Standard with the AMG 2 Kit, that includes the AMG Alloys Bumpers & side skirts. The seats are in great condition with no rips or tears, the drivers seat has some light wear, cracking of the leather from getting in and out but the cushions and bolsters have not lost their original shape. It comes with factory extras such as Xenon Head lights, Heated seats, Auto dimming Mirrors, Garage/Gate opening/close function and factory built in phone kit, although the phone system is obviously very out of date in regards to technology.
Comes with factory Hard top which is also in very good condition.
Comes with OEM windscreen Sun Deflector and aftermarket canvas car cover

The paintwork is in great condition with no signs of paintwork discolour and no Lacquer deterioration, there are a few little light scratches and a few little stone chips but no more than you could expect on 13 year old car.

the Vin number is WDBFA68F61F195960. The Carfax is clean and on inspection shows that earlier in its life there was significant repairs carried out by Mercedes while still under warranty, for example a new gearbox and ECU with remapping and Diagnostics completed showing the repairs to be successful. I have put approximately 4000miles on this vehicle since buying it last year, the car fax shows prior to that it has had 3 private owners and then shows 3 commercial owners, in other word dealers and at one point an Liquidation company, i assumed a previous owner had gone bankrupt and the car was taken as an asset.

The tyres are in good shape however are probably about 3/4 worn, if i was to keep it i would have been aiming to change then in approximately another 5000mile time. Brakes are the same, so unless you plan on doing high miles you wont have to do anything but drive and enjoy this amazing car for another year or 2.

I am asking $16950.00 for this car as it is my pride and joy and is ready to drive with no expense other than re registering in your name. It is a great car and who ever is lucky enough to own it next will enjoy every minute of it.

Mercedes FWD platform to last until 2018, convertible and two-seater future uncertain

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

Mercedes-Benz seems to be expecting a lot of success from its front-wheel-drive CLA-Class. Automotive News is reporting that the sub-C-Class sedan could grow when its second generation arrives in 2018.
The current FWD platform for MB underpins the CLA, the B-Class, the GLA-Class, and the A-Class. The B-Class will arrive in North America as an EV for spring of 2014, while the production GLA crossover will arrive three to four months after that. The five-door A-Class won't be crossing The Pond. Sad faces all around.
According to AN, another model will be based on the front-drive architecture, but it won't be coming to the US market. Set to arrive next year, rumors are that it'll be a wagon version of the CLA, sort of like the ill-named five-door CLS Shooting Brake that is also a Europe-only item.

Sunday Drive: And now for something completely different

Sun, Dec 17 2017

This past week played host to a wide assortment of automotive news, highlighted by our first drive of the 2018 Volvo XC40. The Swedish crossover is targeted at young, successful Millennials, but it offers cool styling, fun dynamics, and all of today's must-have technology, so we think it ought to appeal to a much wider swath of the automotive marketplace. From there we answer the question, "What are hard on the outside and soft on the inside?" as we take a look at the next Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV. We expect the German automaker's flagship luxury SUV to remain boxy on the outside, but the interior is going to be soft, supple, and luxurious. And then there's the Honda Clarity Plug-in Hybrid, which starts at starts at $34,290 and boasts 212 total system horsepower, 232 pound-feet of torque, 47 miles of electric driving range, and a total range of 340 miles. EPA rates it at 110 MPGe in EV mode, and 44 city/40 highway/42 combined overall. We compare it to other plug-ins like the Chevy Volt and Toyota Prius Prime. And finally we have some more spy photos of the 2019 Ram 1500. It doesn't have a traditional crosshair grille, but it's got plenty of chrome and an attractive upright stance that's sure to tempt future truck buyers looking for some sophistication to go with their work gloves.

Daimler could sell off Li-Tec's EV battery business

Sat, May 24 2014

Five-plus years may have been about enough time for Daimler AG to know whether it wanted to be in the battery-pack production business. The Mercedes-Benz parent may stop making electric-vehicle batteries and ultimately sell its Li-Tec battery-cell factory in Germany within two years, according to Bloomberg News which cites Manager Magazin. The beneficiary may be LG Electronics, which would likely take over battery-production duties for models such as Daimler's Smart ED battery-electric vehicle. Daimler is taking a number of steps to improve profit margins, which are thinner than those of its German rivals like BMW. Like its German competition, the company has lagged behind companies such as Nissan, Renault and Tesla Motors in terms of aggressively pursuing growth via plug-in vehicle sales. Daimler spokesman Hendrik Sackmann, in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen, would only say that the battery business is growing "rapidly" and that Li-Tec is developing "according to our plans." "Regarding Li-Tec, we are working on a concept for the future line-up," he added. "The battery cells for the successor of the Smart electric drive won't be provided by Li-Tec." Daimler in 2008 launched Li-Tec as a joint venture with Evonik, though Daimler recently put plans together to buy out Evonik's 50-percent share of Li-Tec, Bloomberg reported last month. Evonik's role was manufacturing electrodes and separators for batteries. Daimler also said last fall that it was looking to cooperate more extensively with Tesla in regards to electric vehicle development. The two companies first said they'd work together in 2009.
