We had an incredible evening on Saturday, May 18, 2013 at the 26th Annual Make-A-Wish Illinois Wish Ball at the UIC Forum.

It was an evening like no other with amazing live and silent auctions, dinner, dancing, raffles and much more. The event also featured a special performance by comedian Martin Short, a taped video message from Steve Carell (actor widely known from the hit TV series “The Office”) and a video message from Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

Loeber Motors has been a proud to sponsor this event for the past five years, and we want to thank everyone who came out and showed their support for this tremendous cause!

Mercedes-Benz Launches 2013 GLK250 BlueTEC 4Matic

Last summer, the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 got a major interior makeover and some exterior changes. The line also adopted the more efficient and more powerful direct-injection gasoline V6 engine in the GLK350 and GLK350 4matic models that went on sale last summer.

But to top that off, Mercedes-Benz has now launched this GLK250 BlueTEC model, packed with a brand new 2.1-liter four-cylinder diesel engine and offered exclusively with the automaker’s 4Matic all-wheel drive. “With improved fuel economy and torque-tastic diesel characteristics, this oil-burning GLK could easily be the star child of the company’s small CUV lineup,” according to Steven J Ewing of AutoBlog.com.

We are thrilled about this new option for Mercedes-Benz owners. Visit www.loebermotors.com to see our fleet of Mercedes-Benz vehicles!
