Recent maintenance: brake rotors and pads, new shocks, front and rear bearings, transmission filter and flush, 2 new catalytic converters, new exhaust pipe system (from catalytic converters back), oxygen sensors, crank position sensors (they wear out around 70K miles), serpentine belt, all exterior and dash instrument lights replaced, new plugs, wires, air filter, new cabin air filter, oil change, battery 1 year old. Included with the sale is fitted car cover, inexpensive seat covers, and various spare trim pieces for interior and exterior.
Issues: Convertible top latch is not functioning so top can not currently be put down. The problem is the small hydraulic cylinder which moves the latch. The seals in this cylinder need replacing. I have the headliner removed and have the replacement instructions and kit. The seal kit includes seals for all hydraulic cylinders on the car plus a syringe and hose to replenish the hydraulic fluid reservoir. Labor to replace the seals in this one cylinder is about a 2-3 hour job by someone with mechanical skills and tools. The headliner was professionally recovered and ready to reinstall. The interior dome light does not come on when a door opens. It does light when the overhead switch is pressed. The trunk CD player has been removed. The radio is fine, but I have a new radio/CD/Bluetooth unit that will fit in exactly the same space. It also looks nearly identical to the OEM radio. This will be included but buyer will need to install. There are a few minor chips and dings that aren't visible unless examined up close. The front air dam has scratches (see photo) from people rubbing parking space blocks, but easily covered with nearly any black paint. The glove box has scratches from a previous owner (see photo). I think they must have carried items in the front seat that rubbed up against it or possibly a child.
I drive this car nearly every day and have taken it on several long trips without any issues. This is a great car that I was slowly bringing back to like new condition. People love to compliment the car and will occasionally want to race you (hint you will probably win, but don't race because it's dangerous!). I love having this car and it drives like a dream. When you need to accelerate it is quick and silky smooth with a great sound. I am selling it because I was recently laid off from my job by a boss that wanted everyone to be as miserable as him. That's it and otherwise I would keep it. Now I am selling this car and will soon be selling my other toys so I can travel more lightly to my next career, whatever that might be.
IMPORTANT: Please ask any and all questions you want. I am not going to try to sell you this car and I am an honest guy. I will post all questions and answers. You are welcome to test drive it. Buyer must provide $500 deposit using PayPal within 48 hours or car will be put back up for auction. Payment can only be in the form of cash, PayPal, or cashier check from a verifiable bank. Buyer mush also provide name, address, and matching phone number before final payment. Buyer is responsible for pick up or shipping of the car. Car must fully paid for and picked up within 2 weeks of end of auction. Failure to pay or pick up after two weeks will result in refund of deposit and car will be put back up for auction.

2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]
Fri, 15 Nov 2013The biggest misconception about the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series is that it's simply a higher-performing version of the SLS GT - a closer look, or better yet, a few hot laps on a high-speed racing circuit, reveals that is anything but the case.
Launched in the States in mid-2011, the standard SLS GT is a 583-horsepower, all-aluminum, gull-wing coupe with performance that positions it near the top of the exotic segment. While the AMG team at Mercedes-Benz could have left it alone, their experience with the SLS AMG GT3 race car said there was room for improvement, so they devised the SLS Black Series. The transformation from SLS GT to SLS Black Series is extensive, with no fewer than 17 different significant enhancements.
The engine mapping, crankshaft, connecting rods, valve-train, intake, exhaust and cooling are all modified and the engine's redline bumps up from 7,200 to 8,000 rpm, which pushes output of the hand-built 6.3-liter V8 to 622 horsepower. The power steering receives a new ratio, a coil-over AMG Adaptive Performance suspension is installed along with underbody braces, the track is widened, two-piece carbon-ceramic brakes replace iron rotors at each corner and a lightweight titanium exhaust is fitted beneath. The AMG Speedshift seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox is modified and an electronically controlled AMG rear differential lock ensures the power goes to the pavement. Last on the mechanical upgrades are new lightweight forged wheels (10x19 inches front and 12x20 inches rear) wrapped in special R-compound Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires.
2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA order guide leaked
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The dealer order guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA has made its way online courtesy of the crew at CLAForums.com, and not only does it shed light on the ways buyers will be able to configure the entry-level sedan, it talks specific option pricing. Shoppers will be able to select between the CLA250 and CLA250 4Matic, and the option sheet should offer a number of packages to suit buyer tastes, including a sport package with tweaked fascias and unique wheels. Bi-xenon headlamps and 18-inch alloys may also be had as well as a panoramic sunroof and a collision avoidance system. The CLA will be available with a number of active safety systems on board, including lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, park assist and blind spot assist, to name a few.
The new sedan comes in 10 colors, including a very dashing purple Mecedes-Benz calls Northern Lights Violet, and there are a total of four interior trim finishes. The automaker hasn't released final pricing of all models just as of yet - we do know from Mercedes' Kate Upton Super Bowl ad that the car will start at $29,900 - but you can check out individual option and package pricing in the gallery. You can also find more information over at CLAForums.com.
2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA priced from $31,300*
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Mercedes-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.
