THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST AVAILABLE EXAMPLE OF THIS CAR UNDER $20,000. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE CAR AND I ACQUIRED IT WITH ONLY 8,000 MILES. THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA UNTIL I BROUGHT IT T0 MY OTHER RESIDENCE IN LOUISVILLE, KY ONE YEAR AGO. IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN ABOUT 1000 MILES SINCE THEN. THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED AND HAS ALMOST NEVER BEEN DRIVEN IN THE RAIN.
I HAD THE CAR PAINTED BY ALFA-MILANO IN LOS ANGELES TWO YEARS AGO USING GLASURIT PAINT FOR $6500. THE MAJOR THINGS THAT GO WRONG WITH THIS MODEL HAVE ALL BEEN ADDRESSED INCLUDING: THE REAR GEAR THAT USUALLY GOES OUT WAS DEALT WITH BY REPLACING THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION ABOUT 6000 MILES AGO. THE WIRING HARNESS WAS REPLACED ABOUT 7000 MILES AGO. EVERY OTHER ISSUE THAT HAS ARISEN HAS BEEN PROMPTLY FIXED USING ONLY EXPERT MERCEDES TECHNICIANS AND FACTORY PARTS. THE SOFT TOP WAS REPLACED 3 YEARS AGO AND IS AS NEW. THE $900 SET OF MICHELIN TIRES HAVE ABOUT 1100 MILES ON THEM. ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENENCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED ON TIME.
THE ORIGINAL STICKER PRICE ON THIS CAR WAS $106,000 SINCE IT HAS ALL THE FACTORY OPTIONS AVAILABLE AT THE TIME, WHICH INCLUDED DRIVER AND PASSENGER ORTHOPEDIC SEATS, THE IN-DASH PHONE, AND THE PORTABLE PHONE. BOTH PHONES ARE STILL IN THE CAR BUT CAN'T BE ACTIVATED SINCE THEY ARE THE OLD ANALOG SYSTEM. IT'S EASY TO HAVE THEM REMOVED IF DESIRED.
THE ONLY THING THAT ISN'T STOCK IS THE NAKAMICHI HEAD UNIT WITH CD AND THE REST OF THE INCREDIBLE SOUND SYSTEM WHICH FEATURES A VERY POWERFUL AND CLEAR MCINTOSH 4X100W POWER AMP ($1,100 IN 1995!), CROSSOVER, BOSE SUB SYSTEM, AND SPEAKERS. THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST SYSTEMS I'VE EVER HEARD IN ANY CAR AND WAS OVER $8,000 WHEN ORIGINALLY CUSTOMIZED AND INSTALLED.
EVERYTHING ON THE CAR WORKS AS IT SHOULD AND THE AC BLOWS ICE COLD. I ALSO HAVE THE DETACHABLE WIND SCREEN WHICH IS LIKE NEW. THE HARDTOP WAS PAINTED ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE CAR AND IS 100% PERFECT INCLUDING THE INTERIOR AND HEADLINER. I CAN SEND PICTURES BUT I DID NOT HAVE ANYONE TO HELP ME PUT IT ON WHEN I PHOTOGRAPHED THE CAR AND WANTED TO GO AHEAD AND POST THE LISTING.

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production
Mon, 07 Oct 2013Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.
Here's how Detroit is selling more luxury vehicles than Germany and Japan
Sun, Dec 14 2014Now there's an attention-grabbing headline, eh? Although the answer to the riddle - pickup trucks and SUVs - might be somehow deflating, the numbers involved deserve a going over. According to TrueCar's figures (click on the table to enlarge), six of the year's ten best-selling vehicles in the US that sell for a transaction price above $50,000 are body-on-frame, and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the only foreigner to crack the top five. Every enthusiast knows that pickup trucks are 'Murica's most popular vehicle by a colossal margin, and there have been plenty of reports about the popularity of luxuriously appointed trucks and SUVs, but compare these figures from TrueCar: 70 percent of Chevrolet Tahoe sales have a transaction price above $50K, and The Bowtie is expected to make $3.9 billion in revenue on 66,945 predicted high-dollar sales; 95.1 percent of E-Class sales break $50K, so the German company will make $4.0 billion on 67,006 predicted sales in that pricing sphere. It's about the only time you'll see the Tahoe ranked right next to Mercedes' bread-and-butter sedan. Ram is ahead of those two with $4.2B coming from $50K-plus sales. The Ford F-Series does almost as much revenue as the next three combined, with an expected $10.8 billion coming from sales of trucks over $50K - more than a quarter of the model's total sales, when a base F-150 can be had for about $26,000. Yes, the Germans make a lot more money on fewer sales, but considering the comparison, the bottom line isn't too troubled by such facts. Weighing like-for-like, the full-size Ford walks it in every category; elsewhere, the Chevrolet Silverado outsells the Ram, but the Ram outsells the Chevy by 6.7 percent above $50K. And for all the flak GMC takes over swapping out grilles, the Sierra also outsells the Chevy in the well-appointed segment, 16.1 percent of sales versus 11 percent – the Professional Grade brand is a huge profit center for The General. You'll find more info in the TrueCar press release below. TrueCar finds pickup trucks far outsell premium brands among top 10 vehicles over $50,000 Ford F-Series pickup sales over $50,000 surpass combined BMW 3, 5, 7 Series luxury car sales SANTA MONICA, Calif. (December 10, 2014) - TrueCar, Inc., the negotiation-free car buying and selling platform, finds mainstream pickup trucks and sport-utility vehicles dominate U.S.
Mercedes teases massive new Maybach coupe
Wed, Aug 10 2016Mercedes-Benz hasn't done a lot with its Maybach brand over the last few years. After killing the slow-selling standalone Maybach line, the badge sat unused, until MB slapped it on a luxed-out S600. But today, Mercedes posted a teaser of a new, two-door Maybach on its social media channels. Immediately given away by the Maybach badge on the C-pillar (and possibly one on the nose), we could be looking at a modern-day Exelero – a successor to Maybach's last coupe, a one-off, 700-horsepower rocket ship that deserved all the Darth Vader's car cliches – capable of extremely high speeds and stunning comfort. Everything from the long hood (better to accommodate some monstrous V12 engine) to the windshield's aggressive rake, to the absurdly long tail, signals a 200-mile-per-hour-plus top speed for this concept. And yes, we're thinking this is a concept. Kick the exposure way up with Photoshop and you can see that the side mirrors are too slim to actually function as normal mirrors – they're almost certainly cameras. Other details? Whatever Mercedes calls its new Maybach, it's going to be huge. According to the caption accompanying the teaser, this car is six meters (19.6 feet) long – that's over three feet longer than an S-Class Coupe and nearly four feet longer than a Bentley Continental GT. Like we said, it's enormous. And that's about all we know. Mercedes dropped this teaser out of the blue, nearly two months before the auto show season kicks off in Paris. It's possible the company could continue to tease out a new Maybach concept until early October, but more likely, we'll see an online debut ahead of the Paris show. Stay tuned.
