I am selling a 2007 CLK 550 convertible. This is black with all black leather interior. Currently has a little over 86k miles.

 

The good:

I am a picky mechanic and take care of all my cars to the T. Maintenance is always done and whenever I get so much as a door ding, I have it removed. Upon buying the car, I became frustrated with early rear tire wear and discovered this is a common problem with this model. I installed an aftermarket camber kit that allows you to adjust rear camber to zero spec, and since doing so the car uses tires normally. That was my main criticism of the car and now its a dream to drive.

Additionally, I removed the center resonator and 2nd cats (not cats really but small glass packs) in the exhaust. Its just slightly louder and will put them in a box in the trunk if you want to reinstall them. However, since doing so I've picked up some extra horsepower and better gas mileage. I now get 22.5 mpg on the highway which is amazing for a car with close to 400hp.

The car has every added feature including the navigation system, upgraded Harmon Kardon sound system and AMG sport package. The AMG package gives you the chrome wheels seen in the pics as well as a sport exhaust and peddles.

Every feature on the car works exactly as it should including top, AC, stereo, NAV, lights, heater, etc.  The car uses a keyless entry system and detects if the key is in your pocket, allows you to automatically unlock the car and start it without needing to put the key in anything. The car automatically turns the headlights on and off as well as senses when it rains and automatically turns the wipers on and off. Then xenon headlights turn and follow the road as you drive through curves.

There are no door dings on the car or noticeable scratches.

In addition to normal maintenance on schedule, I have just had the transmission serviced, with new Mercedes fluid and filter installed.

Everything about the car drives intuitively and may be the safest car I've ever driven. The brakes stop quickly and the car accelerates and presses you back into the seat. It is a blast to drive!

 

The bad:

There are some tiny chips on the front of the hood that are very small and will not show up on film. The drivers side fog light has a rock chip in the glass but works fine. The rims will have some small scuffs on them from rubbing on a curb but are small and hard to notice just a few feet a way. The black canvass top has some 3-4in oval stains on it that are noticeable once you know where they are but most people never notice them. In fact if the top is damp, they cant be seen. There are some hairline cracks in the leather driver's seat but will not show up on film.

 

NADA website shows clean retail just under $24,999 with this mileage and all the added features. The car was almost 70k new.

Auction is for local pick up so if you want to ship it, you will make the shipping arraignments. The car has clean title and can be fedex'd as soon as funds are wired.

Detroit Auto Show prankster 'damages' hundreds of thousands of dollars of cars

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Obtaining credentials for an auto show is generally a pretty selective process, especially at one of the world's premier shows, like Geneva, Los Angeles or Detroit. That didn't stop online prankster Dennis Roady from getting credentialed for the 2015 North American International Auto Show on behalf of a Russian YouTube channel to cover the show. While he wasn't brought on strictly to cause mischief, Roady couldn't help but have some fun at the expense of the product specialists during the serious business of covering the show. He took to an app called "Dude, Your Car," which allows Apple iPhone users to take snaps of vehicles and then edit them to add some serious, but fake, dents and scratches. Naturally, the pranking session was caught on video, where you can enjoy the sight of poor product specialists freaking out over damage to vehicles ranging from the Mercedes-Maybach S600 to the Audi R8 and a lovely Dodge Challenger.

Mercedes could make EV batteries with Audi, BMW

Mon, Sep 21 2015

It's not a big leap from digital maps to batteries, it turns out.The head of Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler said recently that he envisions his company working together with German automotive competitors BMW and Volkswagen to further accelerate electric-vehicle battery technology. The three automakers recently worked together to enhance their in-car maps systems. Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche talked about "commonalities" between automakers, not the least of which is the need for all of them to achieve increasingly stringent fuel-economy requirements in the European Union, at the Frankfurt Auto Show last week, according to Reuters. While these companies have made their own inroads as far as plug-in vehicles go, they are all behind the Renault-Nissan Alliance when it comes to public deployment of electric vehicles. This summer, Daimler, Audi and BMW hooked up to acquire the Nokia Here digital-mapping service for about $2.8 billion. The triad of automakers beat out companies such as Apple and Uber to buy the entity, which was founded in 1986 as Navteq. Nokia bought the company in 2007. The acquisition makes sense as the automakers work on improving their products with features like cloud-based data to warn drivers of icy roads and traffic jams. The technology will likely also eventually be used in autonomous vehicles. Automakers working together for a common goal of improved technology is nothing new, of course. General Motors and Honda agreed in 2013 to work together to accelerate hydrogen fuel-cell drivetrain development. Earlier that same year, Daimler said it would work with Ford and Nissan in a separate collaboration to speed up the development of hydrogen fuel-cell technology. Related Video:

Mercedes rules out hybrid supercar, promises SLS successor

Sat, 16 Mar 2013

The recent Geneva Motor Show was a festival of hypercars, with the presence of not one, but three over-the-top debuts: the Lamborghini Veneno, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LeFerrari. The latter two have hitched their carbon fiber bumpers to the electrification bandwagon by using hybrid-electric powertrains not entirely unlike the propulsion systems we've come to know in cars like the Toyota Prius and Chevrolet Volt. Does that mean the flow of electrons up the four-wheeled food chain will eventually consume our hallowed supercars? Not if AMG has anything to say about it.
AMG Director of Vehicle Development Tobias Moers recently confirmed that not only will there be a successor to the Mercedes-Benz performance division's SLS AMG, he notes that its internal combustion engine will most definitely not be sharing living quarters with an electric drivetrain. Instead, AMG plans to focus on further pushing the power and efficiency envelope of the internal combustion engine and advancing the use of lightweight materials to achieve their goals. The first example of this effort can be seen in the new SLS AMG Black Series that incorporates many weight-saving techniques to shed some 154 pounds from the SLS AMG GT (above), which itself is lighter than the standard SLS AMG.
Furthermore, Moers remarks that his company is happy to leave the hypercar segment to companies like Ferrari and McLaren. He admits that, "Ferrari in the hyper-car segment is still a different brand than AMG. We have to be honest..." So rather than taking the SLS further upmarket to do battle with bulls and stallions, Moers hinted that the next-generation SLS may be joined by another performance model that fits neatly between itself and the C63 AMG.
