1999 Mercedes Benz Clk 320 on 2040-cars
Kure Beach, North Carolina, United States
I am selling this car for my mother, who lives 425 miles away in North Carolina. I will do my very best to describe the car, but if there are any questions I may not have instant answers, but I'll certainly relay them to her and get an answer as soon as possible. She has owned this car since 2004, and I've been quite familiar with the car since then. She's selling the car now because she just bought a new C-Class. The car has a brand new catalytic converter, as well as O2 sensors. I was just at her place last week and drove the car for a day. Its still a terrific driving car. Mechanically, the engine is strong and the transmission shifts smoothly. Car handles great. Brakes work good. Honestly, the only issues I know of are: the battery probably needs to be replaced. She hasn't driven it much in the last couple of months, so its had to be jumped a few times, but I never had any issues while running several errands the day I had it. If I were I near the car, Id just replace it myself now. The radio is not currently working, but I believe this to be due to battery failure as its asking for a code. This should be easily rectified. She tells me the mechanic who replaced the catalytic converter told her that the driver power seat is not working. I did not notice this as I didn't try to adjust, but i would think this is just a fuse or something if it is indeed not working. Aside from that, its just normal wear and tear that one might expect from a 15 year old car with almost 240k miles.
The car is built like a tank and feels extremely safe on the road. She's kept up with maintenance very well on the car the entire time she's had it. Aside from routine maintenance, I specifically recall it going in for service to the air conditioner a couple years ago (working now), as well as having the audio amplifier replaced a year or so ago. The paint is far from perfect, but really not bad. I noticed some little dings on the front of the car that looked like various bugs, tiny pebbles, and any other small road debris had hit it over years of highway driving. Nothing glaring. The interior is in pretty good shape for its age. No rips, stains, or anything major like that. Just wear. She hates to see it go. She just felt it was time for something new. However, she's told me multiple times that she doesn't love her new car like she does the CLK, and that's she's considered just keeping it. But two cars makes no sense for her, so the old one has to go. Please let me know if you have any questions. |

Mercedes rules out hybrid supercar, promises SLS successor
Sat, 16 Mar 2013The recent Geneva Motor Show was a festival of hypercars, with the presence of not one, but three over-the-top debuts: the Lamborghini Veneno, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LeFerrari. The latter two have hitched their carbon fiber bumpers to the electrification bandwagon by using hybrid-electric powertrains not entirely unlike the propulsion systems we've come to know in cars like the Toyota Prius and Chevrolet Volt. Does that mean the flow of electrons up the four-wheeled food chain will eventually consume our hallowed supercars? Not if AMG has anything to say about it.
AMG Director of Vehicle Development Tobias Moers recently confirmed that not only will there be a successor to the Mercedes-Benz performance division's SLS AMG, he notes that its internal combustion engine will most definitely not be sharing living quarters with an electric drivetrain. Instead, AMG plans to focus on further pushing the power and efficiency envelope of the internal combustion engine and advancing the use of lightweight materials to achieve their goals. The first example of this effort can be seen in the new SLS AMG Black Series that incorporates many weight-saving techniques to shed some 154 pounds from the SLS AMG GT (above), which itself is lighter than the standard SLS AMG.
Furthermore, Moers remarks that his company is happy to leave the hypercar segment to companies like Ferrari and McLaren. He admits that, "Ferrari in the hyper-car segment is still a different brand than AMG. We have to be honest..." So rather than taking the SLS further upmarket to do battle with bulls and stallions, Moers hinted that the next-generation SLS may be joined by another performance model that fits neatly between itself and the C63 AMG.
Consumer Reports selling its road-tested roadsters [w/video]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Here's a chance to acquire a celebrity-owned vehicles, and this time at a discount instead of a premium. So the celebrity in this case is Consumer Reports, that magazine that could be equally adored and abhored by car enthusiasts. CR buys all of its test vehicles and usually finds willing second owners within its own ranks, but its opening its small used-car lot to the public. On the forecourt are four roadsters: an automatic 2012 Audi TT 2.0 TFSI Quattro S-Tronic with 6,600 miles for $36,500, a manual 2012 BMW Z4 sDrive28i with 8,400 miles for $45,000, a manual 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK250 for $39,500 and a manual 2013 Porsche Boxster with 7,000 miles for $48,000.
Those numbers mean a savings of $9,000 to $10,000 before haggling - each car is listed with an "Asking price" so there could be some wiggle room if you show up with pockets full of dough and eyes full of serious intent. Since the money CR earns from the sales go back into the magazine's budget to buy more test cars, however, it probably won't take any oddball trades, so you can forget about getting any purchasing help from that track-day AMC Javelin project on blocks in the back yard.
The vehicles have been taken care of and spiffed up for sale; buyers will take delivery at the CR test track in East Haddam, Connecticut and get a tour of the facilities. While you're there they'll even take you on a lap around the track so you can feel how your car handles when driven by one of its testers. They will probably not help you with advice on which toaster and dehumidifier to buy - you'll still need to get a subscription for that. Have a look at the video below to see a day in the life of a CR test car.
Mercedes widens luxury sales gap on strong early CLA demand
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Mercedes-Benz CLA sales have been booming, with the Stuttgart-based manufacturer moving 2,300 of the sleek four-doors in its first week on sale. That is astonishing. Mercedes moved nearly twice as many CLAs (which start at $29,900) in one week than Jaguar, a brand that is on a very solid roll, sold in all of September. Ignoring the price differences between the Jag line and the CLA, that is still wildly impressive.
Mercedes has been pushing the CLA in television ads, using a shortened version of its Super Bowl spot, which starred William Dafoe, Usher and Kate Upton. "As the bargain entrance into the Mercedes portfolio, we weren't sure how luxury buyers would react," Kelly Blue Book auto analyst Alec Gutierrez told Bloomberg.
The CLA push was just part of MB's 6.7-percent increase in September sales, which were also helped along by a 17-percent jump in E-Class sales. That surge has allowed Mercedes to widen its 2013 sales lead over its rival, BMW, to 2,491 cars, according to Bloomberg. If CLA sales continue at this rate, we can only expect that margin to grow.
