2001 Mercedes Clk430 Amg Convertible-salvage Title-beautiful Car! No Damage. on 2040-cars
Fountain Valley, California, United States

Up for auction is my 2001 Mercedes Benz CLK-430 AMG Convertible. I traded this car to some good friends of mine for a BMW 750il sport about 4 months ago. They are seniors and this was the wife's car for nice days. Unfortunately, her mobility has been compromised over the years and she was no longer able to get in and out of this car due to it being so low. They really liked by BMW and asked if I would trade.. So as a favor I said yes.... I miss my BMW. Anyway, I don't need this car so here it is for sale.
The car has a salvage title due to marginal front and rear damage.. My friends purchased the car from a friend of theirs who was the original owner. It was involved in a slow speed accident up in Napa, California. It was pushed from the rear into the car in front of it at a signal. I viewed the car when it was brought down here and it was fully functional and really only had minor bumper damage and the hood was bent around the grill area. They had the rear bumper and the hood replaced. I do know that the front bumper was repaired as it wasn't the bad. I really am not sure why it was salvaged.. it was a simple repair and really didn't cost much. The car was put on a laser frame machine and checked for any damage before it was repaired and it was deemed that there was no damage or movement at all to the body. All off the door gaps are factory. Everything including the top works and fits perfect and required NO repair due to it's minor accident. That will tell you that the damage was marginal.. The car is the factory black out AMG sport edition. (Actually a factory black metallic. It "appears" black, but is actually a deep dark charcoal grey...a rare color). It does have many unique Mercedes options as you can see in the pictures including the rare, upgraded factory Bose stereo with GPS and CD changer in the trunk. Also has the adaptive stability control for far better handling than a standard CLK. Comes with rear factory deluxe wind screen package with complete rear seat screens and a rare set of factory rubber heavy duty Mercedes all weather CLK floor mats. Everything works properly. Ice cold A/C. I know that the climate control panel was just professionally replaced with a rebuilt unit. Per my friend, it recently underwent full service including: 1. Spark plugs 2. Valve cover and breather gaskets/seals 3. New radiator about 6 months ago with cooling system flush and factory Mercedes coolant installed. 4. New belt and tensioner 5. New water pump and thermostat at time of radiator 6. oil and filter within the last 500 miles 7. Transmission flush and service with factory Mercedes filter and fluid. 8. New brakes on all 4 corners with factory pads 300 miles ago. 9. Brand new complete set of Continental Extreme Contact Directional tires- all 4 with 500 miles 10.New air filters 11.New cabin filter 12.New top of the line Interstate battery made specifically for these cars. I am sure there is more, but this is all I can remember from my conversation with my friend. They are very particular and always have their cars repaired and serviced with factory parts and fluid. Take a look at the pictures.. you can see it is a very clean car as it has been garaged as long as my friends have had it and I believe it was garaged in Napa.. It has always been owned by seniors, so it has never been abused, raced, or neglected. It has really only been spoiled. I think that is why my friends decided to buy it from their friend and have it repaired. Drives straight, quiet, and solid. HAS THE RARE EUROPEAN BLUE GLASS OPTION!! If you are looking for a beautiful Mercedes convertible and the rare AMG model, then this is it. Absolutely clean chassis and suspension. No leaks ever! Yes it has a salvage title, but only due to a lazy insurance rep. Didn't have any major damage and you can tell when you see and drive the car! I am selling the car as I simply have no use for it. I only traded them for my absolutely beautiful 750il sport "Die another Day" model in the rarest of all optional colors (Did I mention that I miss my BMW?) as a favor as they are good friends of mine and were fearful of having strangers over to their house to see the car if they sold it themselves, being seniors. Look at the pictures, ask any questions you can think of, and make an offer. It is being sold under value due to the technicality of the salvage title. A rare change to get a great price on a very rare Mercedes Cabriolet.. Ver nice, used car that has been cared for condition.. Draws admires wherever you drive her... she just glows. Current title and registration in my name and comes with a current california emissions/smog test. Passed perfectly clean! Thank you... |

Firing of M-B boss upheld
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Ernst Lieb, the disgraced former CEO of American operations for Mercedes-Benz, will not be getting any more money from the Silver Arrow'd teat. His wrongful dismissal suit against MB's parent company, Daimler, was tossed out of a German appeals panel. This, followed the initial rejection by a lower court last year.
According to court documents acquired by Automotive News, Lieb was found to have "accepted payments of substantial value to which he - as he was aware - had no claim."
Lieb took over American operations from former CEO Paul Halata in September of 2006. Reports surfaced in October of 2011 that Lieb was dismissed from his posting at MB, with a variety of rumors swirling. Eventually, news broke that financial wrong doing was responsible for the German's firing.
F1's Vettel leads, Verstappen and Grosjean crash at Silverstone
Fri, Jul 6 2018SILVERSTONE, England — Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel pushed Formula One title rival and home race favorite Lewis Hamilton off the top of the British Grand Prix practice timesheets on Friday while Max Verstappen crashed. Hamilton, winner for the past four years at Silverstone, had started the day by leading a Mercedes one-two in the sunny opening session. Vettel, who leads the Briton by a point in the championship after nine races, put in a lap of 1 minute 27.552 seconds in the afternoon to end the session 0.187 faster than his fellow-four-times world champion. That was still slower than Hamilton's morning time of 1:27.487, however, with Vettel third then and half a second slower. Hamilton's Finnish teammate Valtteri Bottas, with a new engine in his car after last weekend's mechanical retirement in Austria, was second and third fastest respectively in the two sessions. Australian Daniel Ricciardo and Kimi Raikkonen traded fourth and fifth places while Max Verstappen, winner in Austria for Red Bull, was sixth in the morning but crashed after lunch without setting a time. The 20-year-old Dutchman had ended the first session early after he was told to stop the car. Haas's Romain Grosjean had a heavy crash at the fast first corner, slamming into the tire barriers after failing to close the drag reduction system (DRS), in the morning and did not take part in practice two. "The car is destroyed," the Frenchman, who was unhurt in the impact, said over the radio. "I'm very, very sorry guys. I think it was the bump. I missed the (DRS) button." Team boss Guenther Steiner said the team needed to rebuild the chassis. Grosjean's team mate Kevin Magnussen and McLaren's Fernando Alonso were called to see stewards for a "potentially dangerous maneuver" after an incident between them early on but stewards ruled there was no further action needed. "Magnussen tried to hit me two times - in one and three," Alonso reported over the radio. "Very dangerous."Reporting by Alan BaldwinRelated Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4Matic [w/video]
Wed, 20 Feb 2013Maybe you saw our recent blog snippet on a bunch of US journos getting pulled over in the middle of nowhere in Catalunya, Spain for driving a bunch of new 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG models. By all accounts, they weren't speeding - which makes me softly guffaw. I was there in that group, yet I had taken the more direct route into the mountains from Barcelona so that I could... well, so that I could go faster. No one hassled me and I had the Autovia all to myself. And it was the goodniks - the team players - who got nabbed because Spain had decided to suddenly enforce the never enforced "must carry an international driver's license" clause of the highway code.
The departing E63 AMG with 518 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque from its M157 5.5-liter biturbo V8 hasn't exactly been poorly received. It isn't as crisp as, nor as pleasantly evil as its C63 AMG kid brother, but we generally accept that the heavier and larger car will always feel, well, heavier and larger.
As part of the 2014 E-Class mid-cycle redesign, Affalterbach decided to give its E63 AMG more power and torque for the occasion. The base car now gives off 550 hp and 531 lb-ft, while the hotter S version I tested (formerly the AMG Performance Pack) produces 577 hp and 590 lb-ft. The other big novelty is that E63 sedans will be available with both rear- and all-wheel drive, while all US-spec E63 wagons will be 4Matic equipped.
