Your chance to get into a well maintained and still extremely powerful 1999 Mercedes Benz E430!


I have owned this car for over 10 years and it has been great.  I have made some minor modifications including installing HID headlamps as well as changing the rear tail-lights.  Despite being over 14 years old, this V8 still gives me 25 mpg on the highway.  The car has nearly 189k miles and has been thoroughly maintained with regular oil changes every 10k miles using only 100% synthetic oil.  This car has only been fueled with premium gas.  New tires were put on the car in March 2012 at 169k miles.  In late 2006 this car collided with a deer which resulted in nearly $8k of repair work.  

Other recent maintenance work includes:
  • June 2009 - I spent nearly $2,500 changing the oxygen sensor, the mass air flow sensor, the lower ball joints, the upper control arms, and valve covers amongst other work (125k miles)
  • December 2010 - Front coil spring mount (147k miles)
  • October 2011 - Front pads and rotors were replaced (162k miles)
  • March 2012 - Four new tires (169k miles)
  • April 2012 - Replaced the right upper and lower ball joints as well as the left outer tie rod
  • May 2012 - New battery
  • July 2012 - Replaced the motor mount
Since 2005 I have spent nearly $6,500 in total on the car to keep it running in top condition.  It has never let me down.

Despite all the repairs and regular maintenance, this car is still over 14 years old.  As such there are numerous non-critical repairs that could be made including the air conditioner (likely needs a new compressor), the front right fog, and the sunroof mechanical unit.  The biggest cosmetic issue involves rust.  Like many Mercedes from this age (i.e. the Chrysler merger debacle era), this car has rust issues.  I have regular touched up the rust spots with paint, but a true fix would involve buffing and refinishing (reference the pictures).

This car has served me extremely well for over a decade and was my first Benz.  I now hope it will serve as someone else's entry into the wonderful world of MB. This could be a car enthusiasts dream as the work that needs to be done is not major and perfect for someone who wants to roll up their sleeves.  The engine is in great condition and still roars when you gun it.  

This car is being sold as is with no guarantees what so ever.  I have tried to take many representative photos to allow prospective buyers to best see the car and its condition.  The blue book for this car is still over $4k.  Please feel free to email me if you have any questions or would like to set up time to see/drive the car.

2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Edition 507 still lights our fire

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

The current Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG may be in the autumn of its years, but it's still one of our very favorite sport sedans. Ever. Yes, its paddle-shift transmission may not always follow orders, but with stupendous levels of thrust from its charismatic naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8, ebullient rear-wheel-drive dynamics and that noise, we frankly don't care that it's getting on a bit.
As a sendoff of sorts for the current generation, Mercedes-Benz has just introduced a new Edition 507 model at the Geneva Motor Show, with 507 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque - an increase of 56 horses over the standard car. Mercedes credits the substitution of low-mass internals from the SLS AMG gullwing for the power bump, a tactic shared with the AMG Development Package upgrade that has been subsumed by this Edition 507. 0-60 is quoted at 4.1 seconds and top speed at 174 mph.
The Edition 507 borrows its aluminum hood from the C63 AMG Black Series Coupe, along with spidery new 19-inch wheels in either titanium gray finish or matte black with shiny rim flanges. As seen on our gallery car above, a sports striping package is also featured, as are glossy black grille, daytime running lamps, spoiler and mirror caps.

Maybach officially discontinues all models for 2013

Tue, 14 Aug 2012

The 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.

2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA priced from $31,300*

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

Mercedes-Benz has kindly let loose the price of the 2015 GLA-Class, telling Autoblog.com that the base 208-horsepower GLA250 in two-wheel drive will go for $31,300 *not including a destination charge of $925. That makes for $32,225 in total to get one off the lot, a price predicted as early as last year and in our recent First Drive. The other two available models can push power to all four wheels, and after the destination fee is applied the GLA240 4Matic (pictured) will be $34,225 while the 355-horsepower GLA45 AMG will change lives and wallets to the tune of $49,225.
On the base scale, that puts the GLA250 just a few hundred dollar bills above the more powerful, rear-wheel drive BMW X1 and a stack of hundreds below the less powerful, front-wheel drive Audi Q3. If you're keeping in-house score, the GLA250 comes in at $1,400 above its sedan platform-mate with the same engine, the CLA250. At the high end, however, the competition doesn't have anything that can touch the AMG trim. Not that it should matter all that much - Mercedes needed something to keep these buyers in the family, and now they have it. If any of them should need even more power and more money spent, then there's always that 394-hp Brabus flavor. We'll have more info and details on each trim when Mercedes unleashes the shebang in the not-too-distant future.
