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. |

Watch this perfectly nice Mercedes get crushed by a front-end loader
Mon, 25 Mar 2013In a world where the YouTube hoax continues to thrive, it's hard to know what to think of this little vid, but here are the facts as we know them: a coupe that looks like a first-generation Mercedes-Benz CLK gets crushed by a giant front-end loader. There you have it.
Our questions arise in the aftermath - we know industrial resource machinery is heavy, but the Benz gets squashed so flat we wonder if someone's trying to play a joke on us. We hear that the white coupe may have been the heavy-equipment operator's foreman's car, but who knows? The on-camera interview seems awfully conveniently placed, yes? See for yourself in the video below and then leave us your thoughts in Comments.
France formally moves to ban Mercedes vehicles using contested refrigerant
Wed, 31 Jul 2013That didn't take long. Shortly after a French administrative court gave the French government a ten-day window to reconsider its ban on registrations of Mercedes-Benz A-, B- and CLA-Class cars using the prohibited R134a refrigerant, the government cited an EU directive to formalize banning the sale of the cars. The country's environmental ministry said that registrations "will remain forbidden in France as long as the company does not to conform to European regulations," meaning so long as they do not use the approved R1234yf refrigerant.
Daimler had won the administrative court decision by challenging France's application of a "safeguard" provision in which the EU allows a country to block sales of cars that would "seriously harm the environment." In spite of Daimler's victory, France has cited that very provision as basis for the continuation of the ban.
Daimler got permission from Germany's KBA federal motor authority to keep selling cars with the coolant banned by EU politicians, and is using that national permission as the right to sell the cars throughout Europe. Meanwhile, above that battle, German politicians are asking the EU to let Mercedes sell the cars in France while the KBA does more testing, at the same time as the EU is threatening Germany with repercussions if it doesn't bring the KBA and Daimler into line.
Mercedes-Benz releases US-spec 2014 Sprinter details
Mon, 06 May 2013Last week, Mercedes-Benz released the details for the updated 2013 Sprinter intended for global markets, but this week it has announced what changes are being made to the US-spec version of the van for the 2014 model year, including the Freightliner model. As expected, most of the changes made to the European model will be present on the 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter when it goes on sale in the US, which is expected to be this fall.
The biggest difference between the Sprinter announced last week and the one headed to our shores is what is found under the hood. While European Sprinters will come with diesel engines and offer the availability of a supercharged four-cylinder gasoline or CNG engine, US Sprinters will still offer the 3.0-liter V6 BlueTEC diesel. This year's Sprinter now comes standard with a new base engine, the 2.1-liter four-cylinder BlueTEC diesel. This smaller engine will produce 161 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque, and will be paired to a seven-speed automatic transmission; the optional 3.0 V6 puts out 188 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, and will be mated to a six-speed auto.
Fuel economy for the new Sprinter has not been announced, but Mercedes-Benz has made numerous changes with the goal of improving efficiency. To this end you'll find a new, low-friction rear axle and the optimization for the generator, fuel pump and power steering pump.
