2000 Mercedes SLK230 Designo roadster. This is a gorgeous limited production model, consisting of a special metallic copper exterior and a matching copper and black leather interior. This car has always been garaged, it shows. Mileage is 110,990, and the car has a clean NYS title. I paid cash for the car 3 years ago, mileage at time of purchase was 103,000. I took meticulous car of the car, stored it inside year round and never even drove it in the rain. Averaged only 2,500 miles a summer.
The paint looks incredible, tons of depth and shift depending on lighting. The car was professionally buffed when I purchased it three years ago, the paint looks basically new. People constantly approach me in parking lots asking about the car. I've had people even take pictures of the car. They're shocked when I tell them the paint is original.
Mechanically the car runs perfectly. Lots of power, tight suspension, silent exhaust. I replaced the problematic factory K20 fuel pump relay circuit board with a brand new unit at the beginning of the summer. The car needs nothing mechanically, turn the key and go. The power top works great. I am however including a free full set of new KYB struts/shocks with the sale, just for routine maintenance purposes. The ambient air temperature sensor sometimes jumps around on a hot summer day, so I am including a free sensor with the sale as well. .
The interior shows some normal wear from age and mileage. I provided detailed pictures of every sign of wear. The driver's seat has some slight cracking and the seam under the driver's left shoulder has seperated slightly. The passenger seat looks very nice. The left door panel has a little nick in the armrest, the right door panel has a small puncture in the speaker grill. The center console is in nice shape with just a few small peels. In comparison to most it looks great, I've seen many SLK's where the center console looks tattered and peeled to death. The center console and glove box door show a few scratches and abrasions. This is all normal wear and tear, I'm just providing an extremely detailed description for you. If I buy a car online, I expect this type of attention to detail. The only real issue that'd I'd address is the steering wheel. It is heavily discolored and worn. Not sure if this was a factory defect on the Designo cars, as the wear is all on the orange leather on the top half of the steering wheel. When I purchased the car I considered getting the wheel rewrapped, or swapping in a used factory all black steering wheel. I decided to leave it alone though and just live with it. I'm a automotive professional, 8 years selling parts and cars. 100% positive feedback, I'm a trustworthy and honest seller.
The exterior is in very nice condition. The front and rear bumper covers have very minor normal scuffs and rock chips, normal. The hood has one minor rock chip above the grill that was filled in with a touch up stick. The touch up stick is in the glove box. What looks like damage to the hood closer to the windshield is just cloud reflection from the sky. The fenders, doors, and rear quarters are in great shape. The retractable roof has a minor ding. The decklid is in great shape. The folding mirrors are in good shape, although both have some minor clearcoat fading/wear. The only wheels that come with the car will be the factory 16" aluminum rims. They are in great condition and have a matching set of Michelin Pilot tires with between 50-75% tread.
I paid top dollar for the Giovanna 19" chrome wheels new when I purchased the SLK. The front Cooper tires have 7,000 miles on them, the rear Bridgestone's are two different run-flat models, and have roughly 25% tread left. I am asking $600 for the full set. If you win the auction you can purchase these seperately, if you aren't interested I will sell them in a seperate auction on Ebay subsequently.
Payment must be made within 5 days. A $250 non-refundable Paypal deposit is due immediately at the end of the auction. I only accept certified bank checks and cash. The car will be held until the funds clear. I can assist in loading the car on a hauler, I live a block away from a massive parking lot that a big rig can turn around in.

Boston bombers were tracked using Mercedes mbrace [w/video]
Sun, 28 Apr 2013We now know Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the two brothers said to be behind the Boston Marathon bombings, planned to head for New York City to detonate more improvised explosive devices. As it turns out, that plan was foiled by the quick thinking of one Mercedes-Benz owner, diligent police work and the Mercedes-Benz mbrace system. When the brothers carjacked a 26-year-old Chinese entrepreneur identified only as "Danny," they didn't realize his Mercedes-Benz M-Class was equipped with the mbrace system, which can call for help in the event of an accident or track the vehicle in the event of a theft.
According to reports, the Tsarnaev brothers held Danny hostage for nearly 90 minutes while they drove around Boston forming a plan until they had to stop for fuel. When one of the brothers went inside to pay, the other put his gun down for a moment. Danny took the opportunity to unlatch his seat belt, open the door and run to another nearby gas station, where he told the owner to call the police.
When police arrived, they used the mbrace system to track the SUV after receiving Danny's permission, and it wasn't long before a shootout between police and the brothers ensued. When it was over, the eldest brother lay dead in the street. For more on the story, view the video report available below.
Chris Harris and David Coulthard wring out a Mercedes Fintail at the N"urburgring
Thu, 17 Oct 2013If there's one thing we've learned from the latest video from Drive, it's that the combination of Chris Harris and David Coulthard will produce some very quotable moments. Take this exchange, for example.
DC: "We are by some way the slowest."
CH: "But we're in a class of three cars, apparently."
2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA priced from $31,300*
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Mercedes-Benz has kindly let loose the price of the 2015 GLA-Class, telling Autoblog.com that the base 208-horsepower GLA250 in two-wheel drive will go for $31,300 *not including a destination charge of $925. That makes for $32,225 in total to get one off the lot, a price predicted as early as last year and in our recent First Drive. The other two available models can push power to all four wheels, and after the destination fee is applied the GLA240 4Matic (pictured) will be $34,225 while the 355-horsepower GLA45 AMG will change lives and wallets to the tune of $49,225.
On the base scale, that puts the GLA250 just a few hundred dollar bills above the more powerful, rear-wheel drive BMW X1 and a stack of hundreds below the less powerful, front-wheel drive Audi Q3. If you're keeping in-house score, the GLA250 comes in at $1,400 above its sedan platform-mate with the same engine, the CLA250. At the high end, however, the competition doesn't have anything that can touch the AMG trim. Not that it should matter all that much - Mercedes needed something to keep these buyers in the family, and now they have it. If any of them should need even more power and more money spent, then there's always that 394-hp Brabus flavor. We'll have more info and details on each trim when Mercedes unleashes the shebang in the not-too-distant future.
