Southern California Car

I purchased this car from the original owner in San Diego with less than 11,000 miles in September 2013. The previous owner spent long periods traveling abroad, so the car was a driven maximum of only a couple thousand miles a year at best.  After driving the up to Northern California and heading to the San Francisco Bay Area on the weekends, odometer reads just over 15,600 mile. 

The car never was really serviced beyond the normal oil service changes, so I had the car inspected and serviced to comply with any service bulletins and fix any issues.

·         Transmission adapter plug replaced

·         Accessory belts replaced

·         Cam magnet on the front of the motor replaced

·         Air filter, Cabin Filter and Fuel Filter replaced

·         Transmission Filter and Fluid replaced

·         Brake and Coolant flush 

·         C-Pillar do not rub against the roof when down.

Interior Condition

These cars had a rubberized colored coating applied to the dash and center consul. And, this coating was color matched to the seat inserts.  Over time, this coating peals to reveal the black surfaces underneath.  So, when the red, white and blue interiors began to peal, the black surfaces would show though and really distract the look of those wonderful colors.  The Charcoal Interior (like this one) at least does not draw you eye so quickly to the pealing. Most folks either live with it, remove the coating entirely or have it reapplied.

Exterior Condition

The paint on this car is like new! However, there are a few minor issues for a car that’s 15 years old. There are several millimeter size rock chips to the paint on the front, and a paint scratch on the divers side front fender well. I photographed the fender, but not the front as the chips where too small to photograph.

Engine Compartment

The engine compartment is clean and everything is easily accessible. These early models are easy to work on yourself, as the engine compartment predates all the plastic panels covering the engine found on the later releases and does not have all the complicated electronics and software found on those later models as well.

Trunk

The truck is absolutely flawless and looks the same as the day it left the factory. Inside the truck is the six cassette CD player, First-Aid Kit, Spare Tire and tools.

AutoCheck Report

I have AutoCheck’s Vehicle History Report from when I purchased the car and it rates the car at 90.

Accident Check: NONE
Title and Problem Check: No Issues
Odometer Check: No Issues
Vehicle Use and Event Check: No Issues, only private use

Mercedes-AMG teases GT interior, announces fall 2014 debut

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

Mercedes-Benz opted to tease the assembled media at its post-New York Auto Show party, showing off a pair of images of the exquisitely crafted interior of the highly anticipated successor of the SLS AMG - the V8-powered Mercedes-AMG GT.
Slated for a debut in the fall at either Paris or Los Angeles (we're betting Paris), you'll note straight away that there's something wrong with this car's name. Where's the "Benz?" Well, it's been ditched to, as Mercedes says, "make the dream of the authentic Mercedes-AMG sports car come true." Sorry Karl.
"The new Mercedes-AMG GT proves that we will be positioning AMG as a dynamic sports car brand even more strongly and aggressively than before," said Tobias Moers, CEO of Mercedes-AMG.

Gullwing America turns SLS AMG Roadster into stunning 1955 300 SC redux

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

Gullwing America specializes in what it calls "retro styling meets modern technology." It's next demonstration of that is the convertible above, a stylized recreation of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SC (inset) supported by the structure of a 2012 SLS AMG Roadster. Commissioned by a client in Eastern Europe, the resulting car is called the 300 SLC.
The hand-formed aluminum bodywork required just a few changes to the SLS AMG Roadster, namely reworking the headlights into a stacked arrangement of LEDs and relocating the pop-up spoiler behind the cabin. The retro grille and long, straight hood evoke the past, the custom exhaust, height-adjustable suspension, 21-inch wheels up front and 22-inch wheels in back, however, stray a little further from history. The 300 SLC will come with a hardtop and be one-of-a-kind, making it even rarer than its inspiration, of which 92 were made.
If you have any more questions, they can probably be answered in the high-res photo gallery above and press release below.

Mercedes Concept GLA45 AMG is ready to run

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

This is the Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA45 AMG, and what we mean by that is, "This is the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG." Mercedes has just unveiled the liveried 'concept' at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, giving potential customers a very good look at the newest lunatic in the AMG asylum - a 355-horsepower, 332-pound-foot crossover that uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in the CLA45 AMG and Europe's A45 AMG.
Joined with a seven-speed, AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission and an AMG Performance 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, Mercedes promises a sub-five-second run to 60 miles per hour. That's not just quick for a crossover, that's quick full stop.
That sleek, lifted body has also been tweaked by the minds at AMG's Affalterbach facility. A new rear spoiler, side sills and front clip are the primary aerodynamic tweaks. Aesthetically, AMG has fitted the requisite "Turbo" badges, gloss-black accents (including exhaust tips and roof rails) and a set of 21-inch, AMG-spec alloy wheels to round out the overall package. Based on the spy shots we've seen, expect slightly toned down aerodynamics when the GLA45 AMG arrives in showrooms.
