Hey,

I am the 2nd owner of this car and mainly used it to go to and from work, it has no accidents, runs really well and looks great. I have the original headlights to this vehicle but put in aftermarket ones and painted the rims, as well as the emblem, grill and bumper guards to a black chrome color. The tires were changed recently and are at 80% tread. The mileage on the car is 97 thousand. It's color is Black Opal but it looks like midnight blue, original paint and the interior is gray. The limiters are unlocked, the ECU is chipped and the MAF sensor is upgraded from an S55, it is tuned for performance but can be driven in luxury mode on the W setting, which is good for snow as the Michelin tires I have on have no problem driving in S when it rains. The front seats are ventilated and have the massage feature, I changed the command center of the car to an updated 2003 aftermarket version that looks like the original but it has touchscreen with a remote and it also works with the steering wheel controls and can play music or youtube using bluetooth via your phone but have the original command as well. It also seconds as a DVD player where you can watch a movie and use navigation at the same time and you can also load up movies on a micro SD and insert it into the Command Center. The air matic suspension works and raises as well as lowers the car with the push of a button I always adjust my height using the computer so I will set it higher for you before I sell it as you will mess up the fenders if you don't know how this thing drives, the brakes have also been changed and I have a spare in the arm rest for the rear. I bought it with a non working moon roof and never got around to seeing whether it's the motor or rack that's misaligned but I don't smoke so it never bothered me and I left it as is. The steering wheel was upgraded to wood and leather from all leather and the rear lights are from an 03 and tinted. Very well kept car, I change my oil every 3 months and have a Master Mechanic for Mercedes service and maintain the vehicle. Any questions just shoot me an e-mail. Price is pretty firm but can be negotiated as this car drives as well as my 08 S550, it just has less speeds. If you want to make an offer then shoot me an e-mail and this listing is for a pickup only, I prefer not to ship this vehicle to a different state.

On Oct-14-13 at 04:50:37 PDT, seller added the following information:

Upon driving it yesterday I noticed that the subwoofer seems to not work or not be connected properly with the amplifier from when I had the Command installed but the music still sounds good, just lacks deep trunk bass. Should be an easy fix though and a groaning sound when I turn the steering wheel all the way to the left so you may have to replace the rack and pinion in some time. It doesn't have any issues with steering or holding the road when I drove it and is only heard when parking and getting out of parking.

Mercedes-Benz to build new ML coupe-crossover in Alabama in 2015

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

Mercedes-Benz will expand its factory in Tuscaloosa, AL, to build the ML Coupe, a new crossover that will join its lineup in 2015. Mercedes will also ramp up production to build facelifted versions of the M-Class and GL-Class SUVs, lifting the factory's total production capacity to about 300,000 units annually in 2015. It made 185,000 vehicles in 2013. In addition to SUVs, the Tuscaloosa site also makes the C-Class sedan.
The plans come as part of Mercedes' strategy to capitalize on Americans' increasing demands for SUVs. The company said the SUV market was up 12 percent in first half of 2014, and expects it to grow at twice the rate of the regular market in 2015 and 2016.
"We are seeing climbing demand for SUVs." - Dieter Zetsche

Clark Gable's 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing doesn't sell, then does sell for $1.85 million [UPDATE: w/video]

Sat, 19 Jan 2013

How much extra value does previous celebrity ownership add to of a car? Really, there's no way to know until the car in question hits the auction block and bidders start raising their hands. In the case of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing you see above, the celebrity owner is none other than Clark Gable, who purchased it new. After Gable's death in 1960, the car changed hands a few times before settling with Charles Wood in 1975.
A high-dollar restoration was performed in 1989, and period accessories added by Gable himself were kept in place, including the Rudge knock-off wheels and Nardi steering wheel. Any Mercedes-Benz 300SL is worth a big chunk of money. In the case of Clark Gable's old Gullwing, the bidding stalled at $1.9 million here at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale. As one of the 5000-series cars, this 300SL carried a reserve, and a bit of after-the-fact dealmaking saw the car change hands for $1.85 million.

Why all of this year's F1 noses are so ugly [w/video]

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

If you're a serious fan of Formula One, you already know all about The Great Nosecone Conundrum of 2014. Those given to parsing each year's F1 regulations predicted the strong possibility of the so-called "anteater" noses as far back as early December 2013. Highly suggestive visual evidence first came after Caterham's crash test in early January, with further proof coming as soon as Williams showed a rendering of the FW36 challenger for this year's championship. That car earned a name that wasn't nearly so kind as "anteater."
Casual followers of the sport - or anyone who gets the feed from this site - probably don't know what's happening, except to wonder why the current year's F1 cars are led by appendages that would make Cyrano de Bergerac feel a whole lot better about himself.
The short answer to the question of ugsome F1 noses is "FIA regulations and safety." The reason there are various kinds of ugsome noses is simpler: engineers. The same boffins who have given us advances including carbon fiber monocoques, six-wheeled cars, double diffusers and Drag Reduction Systems are bred to do everything in their power to exploit every possible freedom in the regulations to make the cars they're building go faster - the caveat being that those advances have to work within the overall philosophy of the whole car.
