Arizona rust free car!

We bought this car to be a daily driver. Figured it would save us a lot of fuel costs. The fuel economy is great but the car just isn't the right one for our family so now it's listed here. The car runs and drives great overall! These cars were never muscle cars but once it does get up to speed it cruises great and smooth. The cruise control and all the windows and door locks work great. All the doors open and close very solidly. All of the gauges work as they should. The axles and boots are in good condition. No accidents that I am aware of however I have never looked up the carfax on it. The air conditioning has been converted to R134a and recently serviced. It blows plenty cold but the volume of air that it puts out is not really enough to keep it cool in the Arizona summer. There is NO RUST on this AZ car! I would be very comfortable jumping in this and taking it on a road trip!

Recent work done.....
New metal top tank custom fabricated for the radiator. The rest of it was in excellent condition and was serviced and pressure tested by a professional radiator shop. Brand new Duralast Gold battery install 2 weeks ago. Oil and filter changed 4 weeks ago. New fuel filter and thermostat and of course coolant at the same time as well as a few general adjustments just to fine tune everything. The previous owner stated that the starter was new about a year ago.

Problems that I am aware of.....
It has an older Clarion tape deck that doesn't seem to work. The power antenna does not work but it stays up all the time. There is a small leak from the valve cover gasket. It takes a little while to start when it's cold out. The map pocket on the passengers front door is broken and removed. There is a small dent in the right rear quarter panel right above the wheel as seen in the picture. Very minor though. The light on the dash is indicating that the brake pads are low now as well.

I'll be glad to show it to you before the auction ends or answer any questions you may have so please let me know. I have nothing to hide and I prefer to deal open and honestly. If you need pictures of anything in specific just ask. This is being sold AS IS and WHERE IS with NO RESERVE! Meaning that it will sell to the highest bidder that actually completes the deal. It is your responsibility to arrange shipping or to drive it where you need to go. There is a slight possibility that I could drive it nearby to meet you for a small fee. Just depends what your needs are and my availability. $500 PayPal deposit required within 48 hours of auction end. If you are planning on picking it up and paying the full amount in person within 48 hours then the PayPal deposit is not required. Please let me know if that is the case. If the deposit is not made and I haven't heard from you then I will assume that you are a flake and do not wish to man up and finish the deal. At that point it may be relisted or sold to the second highest bidder. Full payment is due within 7 days and pick up is within 14 days. I can possibly work with you on some things if you communicate those needs as soon as possible to me. Thanks and good luck!

Aston or Bust? Maybach's fate to be decided next month

Mon, 13 Jun 2011

2011 Maybach 62 - Click above for high-res image gallery
What will become of Maybach? That question has been rattling around the halls of Daimler headquarters in Stuttgart for some time now. But all questions will be answered, and answered soon: according to reports, the German automaker is currently evaluating prototypes and propositions for its top-end marque, and will make its decision next month.
So, what are the options? On the one hand, Daimler could kill the Maybach brand altogether. It was a notion ill conceived and even more poorly executed, taking an old platform and building a new flagship atop it. In that way, it was sort of like the Chrysler Crossfire, only far more costly to both the buyer and manufacturer. On the other hand, Daimler could opt for the long-time-coming proposition of contracting the production (and possibly much of the development) of a new generation of Maybachs to Aston Martin.

Mercedes AMG and Cigarette Racing debut 2,220-HP electric motor boat

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

Take the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell, stretch it and take off the wheels then make it float and you've basically got the just-unveiled Cigarette AMG Electric Drive Concept. Powered by an all-electric powertrain that offers 2,200 horsepower and 2,213 pound-feet of torque (and uses "numerous components" taken from the not-quite-as-yellow SLS AMG Coupé Electric Drive), the sleek concept is being called the "world's most powerful electric drive powerboat." What that means is a top speed of over 100 miles per hour from four 60-kWh lithium-ion batteries and two banks of six liquid-cooled, permanent-magnet synchronous electric motors. And the 240 kWh of total energy should provide plenty of juice out on the water.
Launched (but not literally) at the Miami International Boat Show today, the Cigarette AMG Electric Drive Concept is the result of a partnership between Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing. The boat is 38 feet long (much longer than the 15-foot SLS) and is plastered with AMG branding on the sides and top of the bow above the matte chrome yellow paint (officially called AMG Electricbeam mango). Two 220-kW chargers can refill the batteries, dockside, in about seven hours.
The idea of a powerful electric boat is nothing new (Henrik Fisker talked about a plug-in hybrid watercraft late last year), but this is the first time we've seen Mercedes put its EV technology on the water. Anyone who's afraid of driving an EV in the rain should take note. Check out the complete press release below.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class spied once again

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

As evidenced by how little camouflage the next-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been caught wearing lately, it can't be too much longer until the car will get its official debut. In our newest shots of the yacht-sized luxo sedan, the cladding still covers up the headlights, front fascia and most of the rear end, but we finally have an almost undisguised look at the rest of the car's lines.
Considering previous spy shots had more camo that better (or fully) concealed the S-Class' body, some of the more obvious things we see in these images include the prominent grille, the CLS-Class-inspired bodyside creases, the pointed trunk opening and, most interestingly, a lack of fancy exhaust outlets. Unlike other S-Class prototypes we've seen, this car does not have integrated outlets, but it does have two pipes on the left side of the car. All current S-Class models in the US and Europe feature a dual exhaust layout on each side of the car, so while some of our questions about the car get answered, it would appear that more are just arising.
