2003 Mercedes SL500Brabus Edition (Robb Report’s 2002 Car of the Year) VIN #:WDBSK75F03F042547 ONLY 28k meticulously cared for miles, NO excuses!!! A Steal at $32,450 (don't be seen in just another SL500 out there, be noticed!) 2003 MercedesSL500 Brabus Edition, ONLY 28k miles, mint in and out all service done, needs nothing! I am starting a new company, a cost intensive endeavor, and sadly must sell the toys. The car came to me from its original owner who is of like mind on how to care for and maintain such a precious piece of art. Black on black with wood accents this is a rare and sought after Brabus find, confirmed through Brabus USA. In addition to approximately $30k of Brabus upgrades the car is loaded; Bose Audio with CD changer and iPod/MP3 input, Navigation with updated discs that cover the entire US, Xenon HID lights, power-heated-memory seats as well as power everything else! Brabus package; 6.3 Biturbo front bumper with quad fog and driving lights and bright mesh lower air intake, aerodynamic side skirts with courtesy entrance illumination (very cool see pics), rear deck lid spoiler, Brabus logo appliques trunk and side, aluminum pedal pads, Brabus monoblock VI double spoke design silver polished wheels, Brabus sports exhaust system with middle and rearsilencer-fully stainless steel with quad sloping tailpipes (the sound is wonderful, low and throaty but discretely noninvasive…just right). In addition, the windows have been tinted with 3M lifetime guarantee tint and the front side-marker lights were replaced with tinted ones to make them disappear when not on. All of this combined delivers a tastefully unique eye catching car. Not overly or awkwardly done like so many but in a “wow that is a really sharp car!” kind of way, which I hear regularly. As you can see by the pictures, cosmetically the car is what you would expect from a 28kmile enthusiast owned car, no dents, dings, scratches. The leather and interior surfaces are the same, all in excellent shape. Mechanically, CA SMOG, four wheel alignment and full service has been performed with 8,600 miles before next service is due. Tires are in great shape with lots of tread, Michelin Pilot Sports, 285-30 ZR19 rear and 255-35 ZR 19’s front. CarFax and AutoCheck from Experian are super clean and rank the car superior to similar vehicle scores. The car comes complete with two keys, all manuals, nav discs, trunk netting, wind screen and cover plus original 2003 Mercedes-Benz dealership sales brochure, Robb Report Car of the Year cover and article reprint as well as RobbReport Brabus feature reprint. You will not find more clean and complete package.

Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG
Thu, 25 Jul 2013A little over two months ago came reports that Daimler and Aston Martin were in talks, again, about "supply and technical-cooperation agreements." The next step has been taken with Aston Martin announcing that it has signed a Letter of Intent that looks "towards a technical partnership" with Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and the two companies aiming to have definitive agreements done by year's end.
While it will get to use certain electric and electronic components from AMG, the true golden egg for the maker of the Vanquish will be the ability to develop a new line of "bespoke V8 powertrains" that will be fitted to "a new generation of models." In return for opening up the larder, Daimler will get a non-voting stake of up to five percent of Aston Martin.
Nothing else is being said about the tie-up for the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more details.
Porsche teams with Delta airlines to woo VIP passengers
Sun, 15 Sep 2013The next time you're waiting for a flight at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, see if you can spot a Porsche Cayenne or Panamera zipping between aircraft on the busy tarmac. The high-performance German vehicles aren't there practicing for an upcoming autocross; they are tasked with whisking some of the airline's most important customers between flights so they can keep their busy schedules intact.
Launched nearly two years ago, the program has proven popular with the automaker, airline and passengers as all benefit from the unique arrangement. Atlanta-based Porsche is able to showcase its cars to Delta's frequent-flying Medallion members, the airline is recognized for providing unusual perks to its high-value customers and those fortunate enough to be surprised with a quick lift are able to make connections without a stressful run through the terminal. Based on its success, the airline is rolling our similar programs in New York, Los Angeles and Minneapolis this month.
And don't think Porsche is the only automaker working with an airline to entice its frequent flyers. Mercedes-Benz ran a program over the summer that offered purchasing and leasing incentives to MileagePlus Premier members of United Airlines, and the two are currently shuttling top fliers around Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport in the automaker's S-Class and GL-Class models.
Clark Gable's 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing doesn't sell, then does sell for $1.85 million [UPDATE: w/video]
Sat, 19 Jan 2013How 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.
You can see our high-res image gallery above, and the car's official auction description below.
