2008 Mercedes Benz GL550 AMG
If you follow my auctions closely you'll quickly see that I'm a Harley guy and definatley not a car or truck guy. But, recently my wife and I shuffled some personal rides around and that has led to a few four wheeled vehicles being offered for sale here on the Harley's Direct site. That said, let me intorduce to one of the finest vehicles we have owned in the 37years we've been married.
An incredible 2008 Mercedes Benz GL550 AMG with 128,082miles and in the super sharp Barolo Red Metallic. We purchased this wonderful vehicle a few years ago for my wife when a need for third row seating was a priority as six grandchildren were being shuffled to andfrom home, to school, to church, to doctor and dentist appointments and to assit their parents. That's what grandparents do right? Well those needs have subsided a bit and it's time for a little smaller vehicle for this grandma and so this one is being offered for sale.
A stud of a vehicle is the best way to describe this machine. Quality. Performance. Safety. Solid. Tight. Smooth. Stylish. Tough looking and the adjetives could go on. This particular Benz has "always" been serviced by a certified Mercedes dealership. I have hundreds of service records since new to support an impecable service history on this vehicle. From a windshield wiper replacement to replacement of the air suspension pump. I have it all. No matter how signifigant or insignificant, I have every record. Now let me be clear. If I see one drop of oil in my garage floor, the car is headed to Lancaster Mercedes Benz to see why. And it wasrepaired no matter what it was. Mind you, this vehicle hauled the most preciuos cargo I have in my life. My wife and my grandchildren. So with that in mind, here are a few things we've done in the past 24 months or 20,000 miles and this doesn't touch the impecable service history it receivedin the years prior to our ownership. Regular oil changes. Replacedthe power steering pump. Replaced each of the air suspension Pneumatic springs and the Airmatic compressor. Replaced the wiper blades once a year. A broken AC vent was replaced. Replaced the rear liftgate hatch sensor. Updated the radio and NAV system. Four new tires less than 10,000 miles ago. Four wheel alignment once per year. New front rotors and all new brake pads. Replaced the power steering rack. Replaced another AC vent. Grandkids are funny, they like messin with those little louvered gadgets. And another full service less than 500 miles ago. The vehicle has NEVER been smoked in. It has never hauled fido or princess pussy cat. The interior is in absolutely excellent condition without one visible issue. The exterior is likewise, in excellent condition. There are a few touched up places on the vehicle here and there, onetiny dent in a side chrome molding, but otherwise it's impressive. The wheels have NEVER been curbed. I had them professionally powder coated for a "meaner" look, although my wifes nickname is Mellow? Go figure! Everything works perfectly except the headphone plug in the rear DVD system in the drivers headrest. The little pin broken off in the plug so you can't plug a headphone into it, but the system still works properly otherwise. Other than that one issue everything else works exactly as it should, no stories, no excuses and not one thing passed over to save a buck.
Now, if you have any questions regarding anything on the vehicle, I'm merely a phone call, text or email away. I've done my best to describe this vehicle honestly and accurately. We want whoever purchases this vehicle to be as delighted with it as we have been and being up front on everything is the best way to do business in our world. Don't hesitate to ask me anything at all about this amazing vehicle. Actually kinda sad to see it go, but lifestyles change and it's time. I'm proud of the way we've loved and cared for this SUV and someone is in for a really great ride.
Now here's my standard closing thoughts and comments posted on all my auctions...
Just some thoughts:
You know, as Americans we’ve never lived in fear and we’re not about to start now. No high gas prices, no lyin politician and no slithering terrorist will ever keep me from ridin my Harley because FEAR SUCKS! Freedom and wind will outlast hard times and I don’t know about you, but I’m gonna ride no matter what! Now don’t you think it’s time for YOU to experience what our forefathers must have thought FREEDOM really looked like! There’s nothing like throwing your leg over the heart pounding V Twin engine that has been the heart and soul of a Harley Davidson for close 115 years. The feel you’ll get when you’re cruisin the streets… well that’s something every man dreams of and every woman secretly desires. So follow your dreams and allow Harleys Direct turn your dream into reality, today.
About My Prices:
I do my best to offer higher quality, lower mileagebikes than anyone else and do itat a fair price. Others may be offering bikes for less, but not for a comparable machine. Always remember, if the deal looks and sounds unbelievable, you better take a closer look. My bikes generally have significantly lower miles than "average" bikes for similar comparisons so minewouldbe more expensive than a same year bike often, with 40, 50 or 60,000 miles on it. If you think my price is unfair for the condition and mileage, be open with your reasoning, be fair and reasonableand I'll do my best to work with you and make every effort to bring yourlifelong dream into reality.
About Harleys Direct:
I have been a Harley enthusiast for almost 35 years and enjoy them so much that I buy and sell them as a hobby. I handle only top quality machines and when I can get my hands on them, am able to offer them at better than average prices for identical motorcycles found at franchise dealerships. I can do this because I have limited overhead and only one mouth to feed. My bikes are not purchased at Powersports Auctions; they are not repos or the bikes other dealers rejected. I purchase the majority of my bikes right out of the garages of the original owners and occasionally from auto dealerships where they are traded. I search high and low for the best motorcycles available and travel upwards of 250 miles in any one direction leaving home some days at 6am and returning many nights at 11pm to find my Harleys. I am positive that there isn’t anyone on the internet that works any harder than I do to bring top quality machines to their clients. Ionly offer above average inventory to the select few who are fortunate enough to "run across" a "harleysdirect.com" offering. Every bike is carefully gone over by a certified Harley technician with adjustments to all necessary components, a fresh oil change and a thorough test ride. I guarantee all my Harleys to be of the best quality and the cleanest found anywhere with no stories or long explanations. If you aren't 100% satisfied with your purchase I will happily release youwith no questions and a full refund of your deposit. I have sold bikes to more than 40 states, Costa Rica, Australia, Germany, Puerto Rico, Arab Emeritus Dubai, Canada, Laos, Thailand and many of my local communities and I do not have any unhappy client anywhere. I'ma very particularperson and do this because I love it. I will tell you what I know and can see. People say I'm a little anal,I just think I'm particularly fussy. My personal bikes get no more attention when I clean, detail and service them. I like to keep it simple, no pressure, no sales pitches, no screaming or yelling about "this month’s special" just straight forward biker honesty.You WILL love dealing with "harleysdirect.com"!
**ALERT**
All of my machines are for sale outside of eBay and I would estimate that 90% of my Harleys sell BEFORE the auction comes to a close so don’t delay. Most of my buyers contact me and discuss the particulars and make their decision to buy directly. This causes many to miss out on some quality machines at extremely fair prices. My fees to eBay are paid when the bikes are listed so selling off eBay makes no difference and is permitted. So please know that I am happy to answer any questions you may have and understand that buying on line may be new to you. Give me a call and we’ll see if we can’t put you at ease. Call or text Tim at 717 278-1583 8am - 9pm EST or email me at timothyhamilton1977@gmail.comanytime. I will respond as soon as possible. Thanks for your interest!
**FEES**
We have a one-time fee of $100.00 for title processing. This includes all necessary documents to register the bike in your home state. All appropriate documents are notarized and prepared for you to walk right into your local DMV location and register you bike on the spot. ALL titles are clear, clean and without liens. You will also receive copies of my dealer information, licenses and other pertinent documents.
Out of state buyers are welcome to purchase a temporary transit tag at our local notary for roughly $60.00. You will need a valid motorcycle insurance identification card and a valid driver’s license to do so.
SCAM WARNING
A few years ago I had two customers scammed by criminals who mostly function outside the USA and who contact them representing my listed or recently ended auctions. They will make you an offer that should seem “too good to be true” but two have fallen for it. They will also tell you that they want to do the deal through eBay or Pay Pal to receive their protection service, but it is a farce. IF you receive ANY communication from ANYONE but my email address or my cell number I would suggest you do not get caught up in the smoke and mirrors. One of the two customers lost $9,000.00 and the other $6,000.00 so don’t get suckered in. CALL ME on my cell number listed BEFORE you wire or PayPal ANYONE funds for one of my bikes!!
At our dealership we work very hard to accurately describe our vehicles through text descriptions and elaborate photos. When you purchase a pre-owned vehicle it is not a new vehicle. Any used vehicle can have normal wear and blemishes. Before placing a bid please read the descriptions thoroughly and view all pictures.
