2000 Mercedez-benz Slk 230 Kompressor Hard Top Convertible on 2040-cars
Moyock, North Carolina, United States
Up for auction is my 2000 Mercedes SLK 230. Great little Roadster with lots of new little stuff. New Headlight assembly, mass air flow sensor, new complete clutch assembly(pressure plate, disc, T/O bearing and pilot bearing less than 1K mi.), slave cylinder, drive belts and driver side view mirror and motor. Just had its Mobil 1 oil changed and K&N filter cleaned. The top works flawlessly and neither its hydraulics or the engine leak a drop of oil. The leather interior is also in very good shape, non-smoker, but has the typical plastic finish wear and the passenger seat has a small less than an inch of seam coming undone. Also had the headliner redone. The carpeting is in excellent shape with good floor mats(just not stock ones) protecting it. The exterior is definitely straight and appears to have never been hit. It has a repaint on it with a couple very small imperfections(not bad at all) and a little scuff marks on the corners in the front. Overall the car really is in very good shape, runs out well shifts great and hugs the road tight(speaking of which the rear tires are fairly new <8K). The one part of the car I enjoy most and this is going to sound funny.... is the stereo! It has the factory Mercedes stereo made by Blaupunkt with the built in cassette player and 6 disc changer in the trunk with the Bose speaker system. This thing CRANKS and it sounds the best either top up or down. One more item is the car is surprisingly quiet on the road with the windows up no wind noise. |

Daimler names Bernd Pischetsrieder to supervisory board
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Some executives in the automotive industry stay with one company for their entire careers, while others bounce from one to the other, often leaving their indelible mark on each automaker at which they serve. Bob Lutz is certainly an example of the latter. So is Lee Iacocca, having presided over Ford and later charing the Chrysler board. Carlos Tavares was chief operating officer of Renault before being nominated as chief executive at PSA Peugeot Citroën. But as far as the Germans go, nobody's jumped from the leadership of one automaker to the next quite like Bernd Pischetsrieder - especially now that he's been named to the supervisory board of Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler.
An engineer by training, Pischetsrieder started his career at BMW in 1973, eventually rising to the office of CEO after twenty years. There he remained until 1999, only to be dismissed after orchestrating BMW's takeover of the Rover Group (of which only the Mini brand remains in the company's portfolio, the other brands having been sold off after his dismissal).
The next year he was named chairman of Volkswagen's Seat brand, and rose to the chairmanship of the entire Volkswagen Group two years later. Despite a largely successful four-year tenure (that gave birth, incidentally, to the Bugatti Veyron), disagreements with supervisory board chairman Ferdinand Piëch saw him leave the helm at VW AG, focusing his attention on the Scania truck division. He's since been touted as a potential chief executive for Opel and for Continental, but neither potential was apparently realized.
Mercedes mulling Renault-based entry-level X-Class?
Sun, 17 Mar 2013Somewhere in between the Smart brand and the all-new A-Class (pictured above), Daimler is said to be readying a smaller entry-level product for the Mercedes-Benz brand to compete with models like the Audi A1. According to AutoBild, Mercedes-Benz will get a new hatchback based on a platform from its recent partnership with Renault-Nissan, and it could be called the X-Class.
Expected to debut by 2018, the Mercedes-Benz X-Class could be offered in sedan, hatchback and crossover variants, and it would likely have a starting price below the $20,000-euro mark. Power would come from either a 1.0-liter inline three-cylinder engine or a 1.5-liter inline-four, and the car would likely be built in a low-cost nation in order to make the financials work. Wearing the Mercedes-Benz name, the X-Class would have to exhibit more distinguishable luxury and styling to set itself apart from the models that helped provide its underpinnings.
Mercedes A45 AMG in downhill battle with slipstream skateboarder
Mon, 30 Sep 2013We're told it takes "performance, control and expression" to pilot a longboard skateboard down a mountain road, and that those happen to be the same values embodied in the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG. That's how the two came to be combined in a black-and-white short film called Silver Slipstream.
There's no talking, no engine note and no color, just some music, a 'boarder and a car on a long cruise down the Franschhoek Pass in the Western Cape of South Africa." Despite that, it's actually a pretty entertaining video of the latest Mercedes-Benz hot hatch married with extreme sports. You can watch how it all goes down in the video below.
