2005 S600 V12 Twin Turbo Sedan, An Iron Fist In A Velvet Glove, Excellent on 2040-cars
Urbana, Illinois, United States

Offered for your consideration is this S600 Mercedes sedan. I bought this car last year for my wife. We have driven Mercedes for the last 20 years and have had wonderful ownership experience. My other Benz is a 420 SEL which I LOVE to drive but my wife no longer wished to drive it because it does not have many of the newer features like remote key, auto lights, etc. So we bought this car based on condition, features and the drive performance as well as the previous ownership by a surgeon who meticulously maintained the car. We have a 4 page service history by Mercedes dealership for the car. It was taken in for every warranty service check as well as the most minor concerns that could be imagined. We took the car to a Benz dealer after purchasing for assessment and was told that the coil packs were needing to be replaced. I could not believe it because the car ran so well. Based on this I chose not to repair the coil packs assuming that if they failed in the future we would replace them at that time, bad decision! The failing coil packs caused a failure in the transmission and the car became not drivable. At this point she became frustrated and we bought another car. I have since had the coil packs replaced and the transmission rebuilt and have put brand new V rated tires on the car at an expense of over 5000.00 dollars. My loss is your gain. This is an amazing car that cost over 150,000.00 in 2005. The V12 Twin Turbo is scary fast when asked, and it has every feature you could want. Please feel free to call me, Allen at 217 778 1425 or come by to test drive. I have receipts for all work by an expert Mercedes mechanic as well as full service history from Mercedes Benz.

Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.
Mercedes-Benz intros long-wheelbase E-Class for China
Thu, 25 Apr 2013Long-wheelbase sedans are a pretty hot commodity in China, and to keep up with the competition, Mercedes-Benz has introduced an extended version of the 2014 E-Class sedan at the Shanghai Motor Show. Audi, BMW, Volvo and even Cadillac offer extended versions of sedans specific to the Chinese market, and now the E-Class L, shown off in E400L guise, will give luxury sedan buyers in China yet another option.
Compared to the standard 2014 E-Class sedan, the new China-spec E-Class L has been stretched by 5.5 inches - all of which goes to the rear-seat passengers. According to an article on China View from earlier in the year, the market for chauffeur-driven cars is growing in the Asian nation, so automakers need long-wheelbase models like the E-Class L in order to fully compete. As for what powers this stretched E-Class, it's available in three models: the diesel E260L, the V6-powered E300L and the E400 Hybrid.
The redesigned E-Class and the all-new A-Class are just the first of 20 new Mercedes-Benz products that will be introduced into the Chinese auto market by 2015. Scroll down for the full press release on long-wheelbase E.
Mercedes calls CLA 'best launch in 20 years' as it warns dealers of tight supplies
Fri, 13 Dec 2013It's still in the early going, but it's looking more and more like the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA is a verifiable home run for the German brand. According to a new report from Bloomberg, the new small car isn't just widening the sales gap between Mercedes and BMW, it's attracting a new, younger breed of customers into the brand's showrooms. But that early success is straining supplies of the turbocharged four-door.
Dealers have been warned that the first half of 2014 will see limited supplies for CLA, with a letter to dealers indicating that "tight inventories and low days supply" will exist from February through June, despite the car's Kecskemét, Hungary plant running at full tilt.
"This is our best launch in 20 years," said Steve Cannon, the US boss for Mercedes. "The CLA has been a phenomenal success right out of the gate." The numbers certainly support that. We reported in early October that Mercedes moved 2,300 CLAs in its first week on sale, and now Bloomberg is saying CLA sales were almost singlehandedly responsible for Benz's November sales gains. Mercedes' annual sales are up 14 percent through the November, and it's enjoying a healthy 7,600-car lead over BMW.
