The Mercedes-Benz of American Golf Courses

Mercedes-Benz is known, simply, for being the best. That’s why you bought a Mercedes vehicle; you appreciate the finer things in life. You want to enjoy them, and experience all that they have to offer. Each Mercedes is, in some ways, one of a kind.

In the world of Golf, there is a course that has the same air of prestige as the Mercedes-Benz: The Presidio. The Presidio is 1,500 acres of natural countryside and forest surrounded by San Francisco. It’s a place where, for 114 years, American icons have been playing golf.

Take, for example, some of the former players at the Presidio. Joe DiMaggio was, of course, one of the most famous members. Rock singer Boz Scaggs is a member, as well. One of the greatest golfers to be a member was W. Lawson Little Jr. In 1040, he won the U.S. Open, and won several other championships previously. In addition, the sheer proportion of Mercedes vehicles in the parking lot lets you know that it is some of the most accomplished citizens of the city that play here.

Preventive Maintenance And Your Mercedes

Keeping your Mercedes in good condition is not only a good idea, it’s a way to protect your investment. A Mercedes, more than most other vehicles, will retain its value over the years. Keeping up on some basic preventive maintenance can not only keep your Mercedes from breaking down, but it can also help to save you money.

What kinds of preventive maintenance do you need to do on your Mercedes-Benz vehicle? There are the basics, such as oil changes and tune ups. There are also other routine maintenance tasks, like rotating your tires, that you might not normally think of without some kind of a schedule or a reminder.

Following the regular Mercedes service schedule is key here. If you’re not sure what services you need and when, don’t hesitate to ask your Mercedes-Benz dealer’s service center. They can help identify what needs to be done. Don’t put these service events off.

Inspecting Your Mercedes Tires

It can be easy when you drive your Mercedes vehicle day after day to miss the little things. Making time every few weeks to visually inspect your Mercedes tires can help to protect your investment, retain your car’s value, and even prevent breakdowns and accidents.

One of the things you need to regularly inspect on your Mercedes is your tires. You want to make sure there’s plenty of tread on your tire, so that you don’t lose traction on the road and so that you don’t risk getting a flat or having a blowout. There should be enough tread such that, if you place a Lincoln penny in the tread face down, you won’t be able to see any of the head.

You should also look at the tire pressure in your tires on a regular basis. Once a month is about right. You want to make sure that your tires are inflated to the proper level. Among other things, this will help you to have more control over the vehicle, get better gas mileage, and even help keep your alignment from going out on you.

If you have problems with your tires, make sure to call your Princeton area Mercedes-Benz dealer today and let us take care of it.

A Healthy Mercedes Lifestyle

It’s summertime, and that means it’s time to get out of the boardroom and into your Mercedes for a little bit of time away from the office. You might hit the beach, or even try to do some surfing. There’s no better time than the summer to make sure that all of that time in your corner office hasn’t had a negative effect on your fitness.

Still, declining fitness is one of the most common problems of executives. Fortunately, there are some things you can do to help keep the executive lifestyle from hindering your health, and to keep your body running like a finely-tuned Mercedes.

First off, you should work out regularly, even if you don’t feel like it. When you get into your Mercedes at the end of the day, you don’t feel like stopping off at the gym on the way home. You can get past this challenge by working out at home, or by utilizing company fitness equipment.

Another challenge is the executive diet. Power lunches can often help to pack on the pounds. Before you go to lunch, call ahead to check out the menu. Choose a balanced meal, without too many calories.

Your physical appearance, as well as your success as an executive, rely in part on your ability to maintain a health lifestyle. Make sure you take the time you need today to care for your body.

Mercedes-Benz Increasing Fuel Economy

While Mercedes-Benz vehicles are known for their quality and their style, one thing they’re not necessarily known for is their fuel efficiency. If there’s one area that Mercedes has taken a hit in recent years in the media, it has been in that area. However, the designers at Mercedes-Benz are working hard to reduce the environmental impact of their cars, and to become more green overall.

One of the changes coming is that Mercedes-Benz will be offering a hybrid option in each model area by the year 2010. Some models will actually be made available with a three-cylinder engine, which provides amazing gains in fuel economy.

The three-cylinder engine for Mercedes-Benz vehicles would probably be relegate to the A-Class and B-Class Mercedes, as well as the Smart ForTwo Mercedes.

Mercedes is also making advances in their larger vehicles, looking into more fuel efficient ways to power them.

When To Replace The Brakes On Your Mercedes

Unless you’re driving a realtively new Mercedes, your brakes are eventually going to wear down. If you’re ready for it and know what to watch for, you’ll save all sorts of time, trouble and money. If you ignore a brake problem, however, you can wind up in an accident or facing expensive repairs.

Wear on your brakes is caused by a number of factors, including your own driving practices, how old the car is, and what the car weighs. Your front brakes are going to typically wear out before your back brakes, as those front brakes tend to do the bulk of the work.

If your brakes make a high-pitched squeal, it’s likely that you need new ones. It means that the metal on the pads has worn down and become thin. In some cases, your brake pads may have a soft metal tab that’s contained in the brake pad material. once the pads wear down and this metal tab connects with the metal on your brakes, it closes the circuit and sends a signal to your warning light that your brakes need to be replaced.

If you’re having problems with the brakes on your Mercedes, come and see your Princeton area Mercedes dealer today.

Free Mercedes With Home Purchase

As you can see from what you read in the newspapers every day, housing sales are at an all time low. If you can afford to buy a house and get approved for the mortgage, it truly is a buyer’s market right now. One woman in North Texas is offering to sweeten the pot on her home’s sale: she’s throwing in a new Mercedes.

Nancy Henger, of Lewisville, Texas, has been trying to sell her home for a year. The home, which lists for nearly $2 million, was Henger’s dream home. Unfortunately, the home she currently lives in wouldn’t sell either, and she is unable to continue making both mortgage payments.

During a recession, it can be a challenge to find a buyer for a multi-million dollar home. However, the offer of the Mercedes, which will cost Henger somewhere in the neighborhood of $60,000 is just one extra incentive.

If anything can put this house ahead of the competition, it may well be a brand new stylish, reliable, classy Mercedes-Benz vehicle.
