I had an S55 w220 prior to this one It’s crazy what 11 years difference can make unbelievable!

It’s been almost 2 months of owning this vehicle and just about crossed the 1000-mile threshold and finally broke her in.

Just got her first oil change as a break in maintenance as well.

So far:

This thing is not slow. Google says 0-60 in 4.4 seconds. Multiple owners alongside myself are around 3.6-3.8.

The comfort is amazing for being a compact sedan.

Pinnacle trim is a must on these amg’s. The 3d sound from Burmester alone is worth it.

This thing is a gas guzzler for being an inline 4, lord have mercy but it’s worth it man.

She handles so well. Not too much screen so it feels luxury still (I like the super screen but also it kind of kills the appeal of luxury imo.)

I honestly don’t get the hate the w206 gets. I get the c63 hate but as a c43 this is amazing. Driving arguably the best built inline 4 engine in history while having all the current best updates on the car needed, this thing is over performing from what I expected with all the reviews everyone has made on it.

I can confirm though that the transmission being “jerky.” There are times (only at 2nd gear) that there’s a slight jerk at the beginning, but now it’s practically nonexistent.

Great deal on her too because of it. 11 grand off felt great with an employee priced extended warranty (100k miles 6 years.)

Absolutely in love with this.

My 1 gripe are the wheels. They’re ugly.

She’s originally all black and I got her a full-body satin matte ppf.

FAIR WARNING: DO YOUR RESEARCH.

Pay top dollar if not close to it.
My experience with this kind of work has been a nightmare and still ongoing, to the point where the past installer texted me personally and threatened me with the fact he knows where I live, knows someone who works with me, and where I work. Yes I refunded the work done on my car. I have one of my posts on auto detail if you’re curious.

The car looks great after being fixed by another shop owner that did the installation himself.

Don’t look at social media or read reviews. It’s hard to get confirmed results of shops outside of word of mouth. Do your research! I wish I did.

Thinking about adding a front lip, a rear diffuser, and a roof spoiler to my w212. It currently has the factory trunk spoiler, but I’m considering adding these extra parts lol Do you think they would suit the car, or would it look better keeping the look it has now? I don’t want to overdo it, just make it look a bit more aggressive.
Would love to hear your opinions!

“When the last of the current SLs are crafted they’ll be poised to join a long line of classics. Then the existing lines surrounding the powerful V-8 will retire, becoming part of automotive history to make way for the next generation of SL legends.”

Looking at this 1985 GD 300 for 30000 euros. Has the 5 cylinder OM 617 diesel with an automatic transmission. It’s for sale in Germany, however when I move back to the states I won’t have to pay shipping costs due to work paying for it. It has 150,000KM, so around 90k miles. Wondering how much this would be worth in the states.

2020 SL550

brought the car in for a check engine light a week ago. They finally got around to looking at the car this morning and have come back with a $13,000 dollar estimate. The car is a 2019 S560 with about 70k miles.

If there’s a more appropriate sub for this please let me know.

Found the car i was looking for but the problem is it has This interior color.. To me its not even white it looks pi@@- white such a deal breaker. Change my mind

Features:

• Openable 4 doors
• Openable boot
• Openable hood
• Functional V8
• Detailed seating interior

Some things you might find intresting is that the 'hooked' part of the headlights is made using minifigure hands.

Unlike the rear car, this one has a RWD drivetrain (axle connects both rear wheels, spins main shaft, shaft attached to 'engine' mechanism). I do have a method of making a V8 AWD mechanism at this scale, but it's inconsistent, ruins stability and isn't fun to put together so decided to just focus on the V8.

Somebody came at me driving the wrong direction at the highway, had no other choice that trying to get away and he flew into my door… Insurance saying it’s probably going to cost too much to fix it but what do you think?

Let me start off by saying I’ve been looking for an affordable Mercedes that’s newer while nicer for a 20k budget,

and I’ve been discussing a listing with this seller for a week now, was this weird of them for how they spoke to me or am I tripping? The sense of urgency they made out of the blue, the way they went about it, just kinda felt weird, especially for a 2019 c300 in the near 60k mile range

I'm trading my 2018 c300 80,030 miles for this 2019 E 450 with these Key Features for $26,990

What might be the problem?

Any idea how much this repair should cost? Or if I attempt to do it myself, somewhere reputable to buy the replacement cover? Based in the midlands, uk. Thanks!

Just picked it up today. So many gadgets and options to get used to but love it so far!

Hey everyone. My dad got his eye on a 2012 S550 for sale nearby.

Its got 24,000 km. Seller is asking $25,500 (CAD).

Black with brown interior.

No accidents, looks very clean.

My main issue, its almost a 15 yr old car.

Thanks

Hey I’ve seen some other posts about this but wanted to make my own to be sure. I’ve never heard the ticking be this loud almost obnoxious from the outside. Can anyone verify this is an okay noise? Is it the purge valve? Hopefully it’s not timing chain that’s this loud lol. Also any preventative maintenance I should be doing? 2018 e400 with 62k miles.
