SL55 AMG [650bhp Beast] - R107 300SL [Princess] - S204 [Donkey] - W124 E220 Cab [Classy Chick]
Cheers guys. I just have the SL55, the Red 300 SL & the S204 now, but I thought I'd qualify my 25 years of MB ownership :-)

I have the SL55 monster for my fun and toy, she's my baby. The 300 SL for just wonderful driving, cruising, classic MB experience and of course when the lovely weather shows it's head, and the S204 kitted out for my utility / donkey. Best of everything for me, purpose and mood

However, I'm on the look out for a nice W123 280e. Not only for investment purposes but to drive. I've been loving using the R107 SL over the Christmas period. I've got it driving beautifully, you wouldn't think it was 32 years old and starts better than the 2011 S204!! Just something about older Merc's that I've always loved since owning the magnificent W124 E280 24v

I nearly bought a 500e from Switzerland last year, mmmmmmmmm, now there's a gorgeous Merc. I need more space!!!

Greetings everyone!
Have been a member for a bit now, just haven't posted anything.

I'm from Miami, Florida and this forum has been tons of help in a lot of aspects when I was building my car.
I made many renders before installing certain parts and referenced with the forums multiple times.

I drive a W204 C250 Luxury Spec and I have modded it just a tad
Anyone with questions about the W204 C250 Chassis or the M271 engine feel free to ask me questions as I feel pretty knowledgeable on the motor and car.

Here are pictures of my car!

Hi all,
New member here from SoCal. I’ve enjoyed this forum and finally signed up. New to Mercedes-Benz as I have no purchased a car yet. Still researching and asking questions but I’m leaning towards a 2016 c300.

2013 C204 C250 Coupe
Hi Everyone. This is Pippo and I'm from Melbourne, Australia. I recently bought a 2013 W204 C250 coupe after spending over 3 months researching and trying to track one down that had the options I was after. This is my first Mercedes-Benz and I'm delighted with it. Thanks to all the members who have contributed to the W204 forum, as I learned a lot from you and this has helped with my purchase. Cheers!

I love your change . I have always liked the star on the hood. I had a 1984 and enjoyed looking at it when I was driving.

560SL
Hi all
My MB is 1987 560SL with only 25,500 miles. Very good shape. Never showed it but getting to the point of doing so.
I have refurbished most areas and recently added a new German Canvas top.
Refinishing the wheels now.

Bought a used GLK 250 to tide me over to full EV in 4-5 years, 'cause it is more efficient than my 04 Vibe, which had to go to the scrapyard after almost 15 years of service and 300,000 clicks. Was hoping to be buying an all EV but with the regressives just voted in here, EV infrastructure is not building and car companies have much more friendly markets elsewhere. But now I'm learning some neat things about my new wheels and am a happy camper. I can fit 3 bikes in the back. Towing capacity, 3500lbs! I'm up a bit higher off the road and similar if not better sightlines. My old I-pod is fully supported so it gets a new life too, as an onboard 30 GB music library. And the luxury, glad I never experienced this before retirement...would never have been able to afford it as a commuter, but as a long hauler this is the cat's meow.

Any GLA 250 Owners?

Hello!


I've been scrolling down the forum for a hot minute and I see all these pics about cars, and why I feel I am the only person on Earth that owns a GLA 250 model and love mini SUVs? 😅 I went from a Kia Soul to this one, though, I'm more like a SUV-type of person. Nice forum. Have a good one, everybody!

2000 W210 E55 AMG

Hi All, New to MB World! Just purchased a 2000 W210 E55 AMG. 186K one owner miles. Have only had her for a few weeks so I've only done maintenance. Mobile 0-40 oil change through the dipstick, changed out all 16 plugs with Bosch (thanks to this site it made it a breeze), added K&N Filters. Located in Gilbert, AZ.

Congratulations. I think this model looks great and with it being a '43, I'm sure you'll both enjoy massively.

C300
First MB for me - a bit of a step down from my old Jag but much more efficient for my short commutes these days (and much more tech inside too but that's another story). Will see how it goes but am warming to it (but that Eco drive really feels a bit lumpy, can't see myself using that mode unless I run low on gas). Life's a journey - may as well be in a decent car. Looking forward to learning much about MB here. Thanks, Earl.
