Very Low Miles, 2 Door Coupe, Midnight Blue, Amg, Mercedes, Mbz on 2040-cars
Saint Charles, Illinois, United States

You are bidding on a 2001 CL55 AMG in beautiful condition. The car drives and runs really well, and a joy to show off. The engine sounds great, runs strong and powerful. Car comes from warmer (south) climate than Chicagoland, where it sits now. I have owned it for nearly two years. I have only driven it a few times during the winter and otherwise stored in my nice warm/dry garage during this season. No sign of rust anywhere I have seen.
There are the usual wear marks on the car, although very little considering its young age. I have tried to capture them all on the photos. As examples, you can see the blemishes on the front bumper where the top coat has "blistered" in some areas (not noticeable unless up close), and a few small dings on side panels, and some scratches on the lower/center part of back bumper. Body is otherwise in great shape and paint is beautiful. Absolutely love how this paint type changes appearance with the changing outside light and time of day. I always receive many compliments from car owners who know what this machine is. The only body work I have done to car, and that I can see ever was done to the car, is the rear (trunk) spoiler had a small crack in it when I bought it. A local body shop fixed and painted it for me. To my knowledge, all features of the car work excepts the driver's seat massage feature. I have not tried to fix it nor had it quoted for repair so it could be cheap or expensive but I don't know. A feature frankly I have never needed so just not worth fixing for me. The car has been maintained by St. Charles Motorsports (IL) while I have owned it - a great local high-end shop (Porsche, BMW's, MBZ, Ferrari's etc. etc. are always in their shop). I am picky with my cars so we have put a lot more into the car than I am asking. Your gain, my loss! To name a few of the items we have done (bought at 53,000 miles on car): 1. Custom 19" wheels and tires with only 2,000 miles on the them (maximum). Continental Extreme ZR rated. A fantastic and strong tire for this powerful car. 2. Serviced all brakes with new pads, new discs in rear, and machined front discs. 3. Rear Spoiler repair (mentioned above). 4. New rubber grommets on side mirrors (most used cars have these broken - looks horrible so we put new ones on). 5. Added a MBZ cup holder (and engineering marvel). 6. Bought complete new operating manuals and Navigation discs. Old ones were incomplete. 7. Added a second new key (two keys come with car). 8. Replaced driveshaft rubber coupling and balanced shaft. 9. A/C fully serviced - 500 miles ago. 10. Car serviced 1,500 miles ago. Next oil change service at approx. 67,000 miles. 11. All oils and fluids replaced when I bought car (brake fluid, transmission, rear differential, coolant) - about 10,000 miles ago. Not needed according to MBZ or the manual but I did it just because... 12. New water pump and serpentine belt - 500 miles ago. 13. Replaced left rear tail light (entire light fixture) as circuit board caused light diodes to "flicker" on a rare occasion. ....and many more details. Good luck bidding and please ask questions if you need clarification. |

Mercedes dealers authorized to spend $2,500 on perks for S-Class customers
Mon, 02 Dec 2013If you drop $100,000 on a luxury sedan, it seems only reasonable to receive some preferential treatment at the dealership you purchased from. After all, that price isn't just for the car - you're paying for the brand and all the cachet that entails. For Mercedes-Benz, those benefits have apparently been lacking relative to the German brand's luxury competitors.
That's set to change, though, as Automotive News reports that the German brand is placing a much greater emphasis on keeping its customers happy and loyal with its MB Select program. Starting with the new S-Class and spreading to the CLA-Class (and eventually beyond), dealers are being given money - up to $2,500 in the case of the flagship sedan - just to improve the customer experience.
We agree, improving the "customer experience" is quite a vague term, so it's nice that Mercedes USA's CEO, Steve Cannon, offered up some examples to AN at the LA Auto Show. For example, a customer couldn't fit his sunglasses into the overhead compartment. "So we bought him a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses that fit because of their shape," Cannon said.
2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA order guide leaked
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The dealer order guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA has made its way online courtesy of the crew at CLAForums.com, and not only does it shed light on the ways buyers will be able to configure the entry-level sedan, it talks specific option pricing. Shoppers will be able to select between the CLA250 and CLA250 4Matic, and the option sheet should offer a number of packages to suit buyer tastes, including a sport package with tweaked fascias and unique wheels. Bi-xenon headlamps and 18-inch alloys may also be had as well as a panoramic sunroof and a collision avoidance system. The CLA will be available with a number of active safety systems on board, including lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, park assist and blind spot assist, to name a few.
The new sedan comes in 10 colors, including a very dashing purple Mecedes-Benz calls Northern Lights Violet, and there are a total of four interior trim finishes. The automaker hasn't released final pricing of all models just as of yet - we do know from Mercedes' Kate Upton Super Bowl ad that the car will start at $29,900 - but you can check out individual option and package pricing in the gallery. You can also find more information over at CLAForums.com.
2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4Matic [w/video]
Wed, 20 Feb 2013Maybe you saw our recent blog snippet on a bunch of US journos getting pulled over in the middle of nowhere in Catalunya, Spain for driving a bunch of new 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG models. By all accounts, they weren't speeding - which makes me softly guffaw. I was there in that group, yet I had taken the more direct route into the mountains from Barcelona so that I could... well, so that I could go faster. No one hassled me and I had the Autovia all to myself. And it was the goodniks - the team players - who got nabbed because Spain had decided to suddenly enforce the never enforced "must carry an international driver's license" clause of the highway code.
The departing E63 AMG with 518 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque from its M157 5.5-liter biturbo V8 hasn't exactly been poorly received. It isn't as crisp as, nor as pleasantly evil as its C63 AMG kid brother, but we generally accept that the heavier and larger car will always feel, well, heavier and larger.
As part of the 2014 E-Class mid-cycle redesign, Affalterbach decided to give its E63 AMG more power and torque for the occasion. The base car now gives off 550 hp and 531 lb-ft, while the hotter S version I tested (formerly the AMG Performance Pack) produces 577 hp and 590 lb-ft. The other big novelty is that E63 sedans will be available with both rear- and all-wheel drive, while all US-spec E63 wagons will be 4Matic equipped.
