The condition of this car is to be considered to be excellent. There is minor "road rash" on the front bumper paint, and minor pitting of the windshield. This is consistent with the mileage driven. This car was introduced by Mercedes Benz late in the 2003 model year.The CLK55 AMG is powered by a 5.4-liter naturally aspirated V-8 with 362 horsepower, and 376 pound-feet of torque. The engine is hand-built. The five-speed automatic is reinforced and features AMG's Speedshift programming. Sport and comfort modes adapt shift points and firmness to differing driving styles. A button shifts to the manumatic mode, and the driver can control shifts via the lever or via buttons on the back of the steering wheel. This is a special car since only 1500 CLK55s were to be sold in the United States. This one is also unique in color - Ice Blue. The car is fitted with AMG shocks, springs, and anti-roll bars providing the perfect balance between comfort and high performance. The tires are 225/45 fronts and 245/45 rears on 17-inch rims. Braking is provided by 13.6-inch-front and 11.8-inch-rear brake rotors with four-piston-front and two-piston-rear monoblock calipers respectively. This car sold for a base price of $70,770 when new. As optioned this specific vehicle was in the mid $82K range. We are the third owner, and bought the car from the dealer showroom floor, in January of 2006, with only 9,552 miles. The car is designed to cruise effortlessly, but when necessary, can change its attitude, accompanied by the rich sound of a naturally aspirate V8 and an AMG tuned exhaust system. The ride is both comfortable and controlled, with good road isolation, befitting a cruiser. The rack-and-pinion steering is accurate and precise. This car has been driven by one person exclusively, since purchase. Maintenance has been assiduous, and at the Mercedes Benz dealership. All documentation, including the owner's manual is complete and available. Published Statistics: Shipping will be the responsibility of the purchaser. Payment by cashier check. We would appreciate that this car will go to an individual who can understand the special nature of this vehicle. |

Autoblog drives to the Arctic Circle
Fri, 22 Mar 2013In Which Mercedes' Sprinter Becomes A Long-Distance Sherpa
In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
As I am about to nod off on my long leg flight from Minneapolis to Anchorage ahead of driving to the Arctic Circle, the friendly twenty-something Alaskan knitting furiously in the seat next to me pauses and says, "When you're driving up there, don't open your windows." In the dead of winter? I hadn't planned on cruising alfresco, but her warning to keep the glazing snugged against the weatherstripping is one I would take to heart. She continues: "If you leave 'em open, a fox is liable to jump right in. There are lots of rabid foxes up there, and they leap into your car and just Go. To. Town." And here I was, thinking that a curious bear or maybe an ill-placed moose in the road was going to be my biggest potential four-legged threat. In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
Mercedes-Benz killing Maybach in 2013, replacing with S600 Pullman
Fri, 25 Nov 2011According to an unnamed Mercedes-Benz source speaking with AutoWeek, the German automaker is killing off its Maybach line in 2013.
The unsurprising news comes after the brand was resurrected in 2002, but failed to meet sales expectations with its two core models, the Maybach 57 and 62. Further solidifying its fate, a deal with Aston Martin to aid in the development of future Maybachs fell through earlier this year.
According to the AutoWeek insider, the plan is to continue to sell both Maybach models through the end of 2013, after which the fifth-generation S-Class will go on sale. When that happens, three new variants of the S-Class will be available, including an all-new, range-topping S600 that brings back the Pullman moniker and may be better suited to competing with the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce.
YouTube viewers prefer BMW
Fri, Sep 11 2015BMW owners sometimes get a bad rap as being snobbish, rude drivers, but according to a new study by the online marketing company ZEFR, Bimmer aficionados also have a close relationship with the brand's vehicles. With well over 4 billion YouTube views, the German automaker is the industry's king of the road online. Making the popularity even sweeter for marketers, 95 percent of those clicks are for fan videos, which represents loads of free advertising. BMW isn't the only automaker with such an extensive following. Honda comes in a close second with around 4 billion views, and Mercedes-Benz is just a little behind it. Among all brands, it's the norm for fan-made videos rather than the official ones to get the lion's share of the clicks, generally 95 percent or more. "YouTube has become a treasure trove for connecting with the right people for automakers," Dave Rosner, ZEFR marketing boss, said to Automotive News. Beyond just a popularity contest among brands, automotive videos are big business on YouTube, according to ZEFR's research. Enthusiasts are leading the way, too. Racing is by far the most-watched category with 895,000 clips generating a staggering 8.2 billion views. Classic cars are also a very hot topic with 305,000 videos getting 1.6 billion clicks. Surprisingly, when it comes to watching auto videos, sedans are most popular on YouTube with over 9 billion views, according to Automotive News. Meanwhile, SUVs, performance vehicles, and pickups were each around 3 billion or less. You can check out the full study for yourself, as a PDF, here. Related Video:
