Eugene, Oregon, United States

 
2002 MERCEDES BENZ 
  CLK 430 CONVERTIBLE.

WAS WANTING TO KEEP THIS ONE AND ENJOY IT MYSELF,
BUT I AM JUST NOT GETTING THE TIME TO PLAY WITH IT & DON'T WANT TO HAVE IT JUST SIT.
SO IT'S TIME TO FIND IT A NEW HOME.
IT IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR THAT NEEDS A LITTLE MISC. TLC.
 MOSTLY SIMPLE COSMETIC TYPE STUFF. 
BUT
IS A LOT OF FUN TO DRIVE.
OVERALL A NICE & CLEAN CAR.
DRIVE TRAIN IN VERY NICE SHAPE.
 THE V8 ENGINE RUNS SMOOTH & QUIET.


SMOOTH & PEPPY!
THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS GREAT TOO.
SOLID SHIFTS WITH NO SLIPPING.


THE FRONT END, GRILL, FRONT BUMPER, LIGHTS, ETC. ARE ALL VERY NICE! 
STRAIGHT & CLEAN!


PAINT IS SHOWING IT'S AGE.
IT HAS SOME SMALL CHIPS & BLEMS HERE & THERE, 

IF YOU WANT IT PRISTINE, YOU WILL WANT TO REPAINT IT.
 BUT OVERALL THE PAINT JOB LOOKS NICE FOR A DAILY DRIVER 
& GETS COMPLIMENTS WHEREVER IT GOES.

  
MOST IMPORTANTLY, 
IT HAS NO RUST PROBLEMS AT ALL!
NONE.
LIKE MOST OF OUR CARS, 
WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR UP ON A HOIST & LOOKED IT OVER THOROUGHLY & 
IT IS COMPLETELY SOLID THROUGHOUT.
OTHERWISE, HERE ARE THE PARTICULARS:
         
VIN: WDBLK70G62T096147     
ODOMETER READING: 146993 

  WE HAVE EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE THAT IT IS 146K ORIGINAL. 
BUT WE DO NOT GET SECURE ODOMETER STATEMENTS ON CARS OLDER THAN 10 YEARS, SO LIKE ALL OF OUR VEHICLES 10 YEARS & OLDER IT IS BEING SOLD AS:MILES EXEMPT.


BODY: OVERALL VERY NICE.
STRAIGHT & SOLID.

BUT IN CASE IT NEEDS A SWITCH OR SOMETHING REPLACED, 
WE ARE POSTING IT WITH A VERY REASONABLE MINIMUM RESERVE.

VERY NICE SET OF 17" ALLOY WHEELS 

245 / 40 17" TIRES HAVE SOME TREAD LIFE LEFT,
AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET A FEW MORE MILES OUT OF THEM, BUT THEY ARE GETTING "TIRED"

Next Mercedes S-Class stretching into this 600 Pullman limo

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

To the concern of nobody in particular, Mercedes-Benz will not be re-upping its Maybach line of ultra-luxury limousines. No, instead the German automaker will be stretching its already roomy S-Class, to make this upcoming 600 Pullman version of the decked-out beast.
The car in our new gallery of spy shots is sporting beefy B-pillars and a massive set of rear doors that should allow perfectly graceful ingress and egress from what is likely to be a palatial rear space. (In one photo we can even see a long-wheelbase S-Class in line with the new Pullman, handily exhibiting the size of the new variant.) The exterior modifications are otherwise obscured, though we can guess at revised front and rear fascia and lighting elements, based on both end being heavily taped for these test runs.
It's a good bet that the Pullman will make use of M-B's twin-turbocharged V12 engine, though sources indicate that a hybrid version might eventually be in the offing, as well.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup shows its freshened face

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Mercedes-Benz showed us its redesigned 2014 E-Class more than a month ago, but the Detroit Auto Show finally gave us a chance to see the full family of mid-size luxury cars and wagons in the flesh. Dieter Zetsche introduced the cars, including sedan, coupe, convertible and station wagon, on stage showing the stylish new design direction.
The wagon and sedan versions (shown as the E400 Hybrid above) will go on sale this spring, while the coupe and cabriolet will hit showrooms over the summer. Check our new gallery of live shots for the entire 2014 E-Class lineup, as well as the previously released press release below.

Tue, 20 Nov 2012

Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.
