Amazing 2003 Mercedes-benz C240 - Clean Title - Low Miles - Socal Black Beauty on 2040-cars
Los Angeles, California, United States
FOR AUCTION: Selling my beautiful, Southern
California 2003 Mercedes-Benz C240 sedan. Car is in excellent
condition and pristine in many ways. Originally sold out of Laguna Niguel,
original sticker price over $35,000. Clean title, not a salvage. Car is the sought-after and hard-to-find black and tan combination, and a truly timeless body style. Definitely the nicest, most solid and reliable car I’ve ever owned, including several other Mercedes. I would keep it forever if I didn’t need something larger ASAP. Easily holds its own against any other Mercedes; actually better quality than some newer models. THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE This car is a pleasure to drive. Incredibly comfortable, power everything, with all the controls at your fingertips. Car is equipped with all you’d expect and more: leather and wood interior, six-CD changer in glove box, power back shade, auto-dimming rearview mirrors, tinted moonroof/sunroof, great air and heater, individual climate controls, full power seats, auto lights, rain-sensing windshield, etc., etc. The car has low, mostly
highway miles. The V6 engine is a perfect combination of power when you need it
and GREAT on gas mileage, especially for a luxury car. It is not uncommon to
get Besides being great looking
& driving, this car has NO MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL ISSUES outside of
normal wear (brake pads, burned-out bulbs), either now or since I’ve owned it. The
maintenance and care of this car have been top-notch: always garaged, oil and
filters changed at frequent intervals; top-of-the-line tires and alignment;
suspension parts maintained/updated as needed; regular multi-step exterior
cleaning and waxing; leather deep-cleaned, carpets shampooed, interior wood
treated, et cetera. In fact, at its last This is a totally solid, very nice car. Has been my daily driver and I couldn’t be happier with its performance and reliability. Between the build quality, engineering and maintenance, I’m confident it should have at least another 100K miles or more in its life span if proper maintenance continues. Details: ENGINE / TRANSMISSION / DRIVETRAIN Great! No issues. Obviously you’re not going to win any drag races with this car, but that’s probably not what you’re looking for anyway. Car is just over 126,500 miles, which is low for the age and low for the projected life span of a Mercedes. EXTERIOR Body and trim are in
excellent condition. Incredibly straight with clean, flowing lines. Does have several
(literally) small surface dings, but nothing super-noticeable, and far fewer
than most other eleven-year-old cars. Plus, thanks to the thoughtfulness of a
drunk driver in February, the car has a brand new OEM Mercedes rear bumper,
courtesy the nicest Mercedes repair shop in All the glass is excellent with original factory tint. Front grille shows some minor pitting/wear. All rubber and seals, excellent. The gloss black finish is
also nice. The car is black, and eleven years old, so it does have the expected
wear & tear, minor/shallow surface scratches and/or swirl marks in some
areas. There are also a few spots where a former owner (not me) did a black
nail polish touch up, only sort of noticeably on front left fender (see
picture), and it’s not even bad. Also, the paint on the top of the front bumper
is starting to fade in a few spots. But in all candor, none of this really stands
out and is hard to spot unless you’re actually looking for it. The car is
eleven years old and shows far less wear than other similar vehicles. It looks
like its pictures… lovely. ;)
INTERIOR Excellent condition. Very clean. All electronics, everything works fine. Very importantly, the leather seats are supple and show almost no wear; there is no cracking anywhere. As mentioned, the carpets are shampooed and nice; all the door panels and plastic are in great shape; the wood finish is also superb. The steering wheel has some exterior wear and the factory floormats have wear as well. The single electronic issue
(in the entire car) is the trunk release does not work on the keyfob remote.
TIRES / BRAKES / SUSPENSION Great condition. Recently
aligned; has three nearly-new top-of-the-line BF Goodrich’s and one Pirelli
(thank you, huge nail). Newer brake pads. Spare is a full-size Continental,
shows no wear. All original jack, spare lug nuts and tow-hook are here.
Aluminum alloy wheels are also in nice shape. THE BOTTOM LINE This is a really nice, clean, comfortable, great-looking, running, and driving, reliable car. It is eleven years old, so it’s not perfect and does show some wear. However, this car has been well cared-for, even babied, and is in amazing shape for its age and price point. LOW, FAIR RESERVE, so bid with confidence. Comes with all original
manuals, paperwork, and window sticker. I also have some extra bulbs and the
like which I will include.
TERMS & DISCLAIMERS: SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY, PLEASE.
Please email any questions prior to bidding. This is an eleven year old,
pre-owned car. Any and all known issues have been disclosed in good faith, so
the car is being sold AS-IS with no warranty. Auction is seven days. Potential

Maybach officially discontinues all models for 2013
Tue, 14 Aug 2012The word "Maybach" has joined the long list of synonyms for the word "kaput." Mercedes-Benz released the price list for the 2013 models of its super-luxury sedans, with the price column simply stating "Discontinued" for each one of them.
The 2012 models, should there be any left for 11th-hour buyers, maintain the increased MSRPs that Daimler slapped on them late last year after it was known the brand would be terminated next year. But you might still be able to wrangle that $100,000 rebate if you ask nicely, or in Russian, or have Rick Ross ask for you.
It shouldn't be too long before we see the ultimate version of the next generation S-Class, the S600 Pullman, that will replace Maybach. Intriguingly, it's said the Pullman will be offered with every S-Class engine, even the four-cylinder diesel.
Mercedes-AMG considering turbo fours, hybrid sixes for future performance sedans
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Think of the letters AMG and you'll probably end up picturing a performance sedan with a big V8. Such has become, after all, the Mercedes turning division's calling card. But with the introduction of its 2.0-liter turbo four, AMG is working at turning that notion on its head.
The highly potent engine produces 355 horsepower and is presently installed in the A45 AMG hatchback, CLA45 AMG sedan and GLA45 AMG crossover, giving Benz's smallest family a full range of performance models. But that might not be the full extent of the high-strung four-pot's use.
Speaking with AMG boss Tobias Moers, Britain's What Car? magazine reports that Affalterbach is considering slotting the same engine into larger models, particularly performance sedans like the C-Class. As we recently reported, Mercedes is already preparing to up the power from the turbo V6 in the C400 to slot a C450 Sport in below the C63 AMG. The C450 is expected to offer around 367 horsepower where the CLA45 AMG et al pack 355, but the lighter weight of the four-cylinder engine would likely offset the truancy of those extra dozen horses. Of course such a prospect would be much further down the pipeline than the C450 Sport which is expected to arrive much sooner.
Brabus 800 Roadster is a power-mad aristocrat
Wed, 06 Mar 2013If we're being completely honest, we haven't exactly been in love with the aesthetics of the sixth-generation Mercedes-Benz SL-Class. It's mostly a front-end issue, with its glowering eagle-eye headlamps and upright, dinner-plate-sized Three-Pointed Star coming across to us as overwrought. That's particularly troublesome for a roadster whose history has of the most elegant designs of all time in its back catalog. Somehow, the new R231 generation's brash visuals seem more at home on this Brabus 800 Roadster to us.
That's probably because the high-dollar German tuner has turned up the wick on the SL's visuals even further, with carbon fiber bodywork, a more aggressive aero kit, matte hood scoop and complex two-finish wheels. It's all-the-way committed to its brashness, in other words - and justifiably so. Anything with 800 horsepower and 1,047 pound-feet of torque has earned the right to look however it wants, right?
Brabus started with the SL65 and its not-exactly-underpowered 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12, and went to town, fitting their own turbocharger and intercooler system, along with a less-restrictive exhaust system with driver-selectable sound levels and new engine electronics. The result is a 3.7-second 0-62 mph time, an electronically limited top whack of 217 mph... and one seriously compromised toupée.
