This car is in great condition. It has lead a pampered life, and I have documentation to prove it.
I store it in my own climate controlled garage. I don't drive it much, and need the space for another car, so it's going for sale.
Service
I have a carfax upon request. I also have many receipts from previous owners.
There is a clear service trail from 2008 (when it was sold at Barrett Jackson) to today. I have receipts from Park Place (Dallas area) for well over $9,000.
Within my ownership of the car I replaced the front struts and rear shocks with Bilsteins. One relay was replaced for the AC aux fans. What I haven't done is repair the cruise control, I believe it needs a new control unit, and the passenger side window switch is flakey - I bought a new switch, but haven't replaced it yet - it works most of the time, but will need to be swapped out soon.
There are no issues that I am aware of otherwise - no leaks or smoke or anything else. It runs and drives great.
Options
It comes with 2 tops - a detachable hardtop and the softtop. The softtop goes up and down by power. The plastic glass has wear marks from sitting in the down position and being driven (like corvettes and other cars get). The hardtop is in good condition. The headliner is a little dirty, and there are a couple small and fine
It has a Euro-style back seat, or "jumpseat". You can fit kids in it, it has lap belts, but I would only use it in a pinch.
It has a deployable roll bar, you can set it up or down with the top up or down. It will auto deploy if the air bag sensors go off.
There is a new Bluetooth/iphone compatible stereo. I can put my iphone 4s in the cradle and it will charge and play tunes or whatever.
The climate control head unit works fine (these are prone to fail, this one was replaced).
Notes
Tires are dated 2011 and have 75%+ tread left.
I use Rotella 5w-40 synthetic oil, that is the recommended weight. It has a K&N air filter (stock insertion). All fluids were checked in December 2012 and were good, only needed to change the oil and trans fluid.
Fuel economy isn't bad either, its easy to get 25 mpg on the highway.
I am confident this car will last for a very long time with good routine maintenance and care.
Pickup to be arranged by buyer. $500 paypal deposit required with 24 hours of auction close.

Mercedes-AMG GT attacks Circuit of the Americas
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Mercedes-Benz is having a banner year with its Formula One team. Through 2014, the constructor has 454 championship points; ahead of its nearest competitor (Red Bull-Renault) by a margin of 182 tally marks. We're sure they can almost taste the champagne.
It's fitting then, and a little big cocky in a good way, that Mercedes has released a video of its newest sports car at an F1 venue. In this case, the car is the lovely Mercedes-AMG GT S, and the racetrack is Austin's Circuit of the Americas.
Having seen the official photo set and scratched the surface of the technical specifications earlier this week, we're excited to finally hear the thing run. As you might guess, the deployment of 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque from the twin-turbo V8 is a motivating experience. Crank up your volume, and hit that play button. (Oh, and Mercedes shot the thing in 4K, too, so those of you with expensive televisions/monitors should take heed to the settings.)
Mercedes mulling Renault-based entry-level X-Class?
Sun, 17 Mar 2013Somewhere in between the Smart brand and the all-new A-Class (pictured above), Daimler is said to be readying a smaller entry-level product for the Mercedes-Benz brand to compete with models like the Audi A1. According to AutoBild, Mercedes-Benz will get a new hatchback based on a platform from its recent partnership with Renault-Nissan, and it could be called the X-Class.
Expected to debut by 2018, the Mercedes-Benz X-Class could be offered in sedan, hatchback and crossover variants, and it would likely have a starting price below the $20,000-euro mark. Power would come from either a 1.0-liter inline three-cylinder engine or a 1.5-liter inline-four, and the car would likely be built in a low-cost nation in order to make the financials work. Wearing the Mercedes-Benz name, the X-Class would have to exhibit more distinguishable luxury and styling to set itself apart from the models that helped provide its underpinnings.
Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition
Wed, 26 Dec 2012Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
