Mercedes Benz Slk 320 Renntech on 2040-cars
United States
|
You are viewing a beautiful 2001 Mercedes Benz SLK 320. This car has been in our family since purchased new in 2000. This is a one owner car! It is extremely rare as it was one of only two spec'd in this manner on the East coast when purchased new. The color combination, sport pkg and 6 speed manual combination is what makes it so unique. Over $ 5,000 in upgrades have been added to this car, including:
Renntech Carbon Fiber Air Intake Renntech ECU tune Renntech Catback Exhaust Upgraded 18 inch Brabus Style Monoblock Wheels Brembo Rotors Red Brake Caliper Paint Professionally Applied The car puts out about 240 hp and 250 tq. It is still quick by today's standards and sounds incredible. Factory Options: AMG Sport Package 6 Disc Cd Changer Condition: The car is mechanically fantastic. The engine pulls hard and runs perfect, the clutch still feels the same as it did new, and the brakes are very strong. The exterior paint is smooth and in excellent condition with your typical small stone chips that are barely noticeable. The interior has normal wear and tear for a car of this age, but it still looks stunning in the two-tone charcoal/crimson combination. The AC, heat, radio and CD changer all work perfectly. I believe in being an honest seller, so I will summarize what the car needs. The convertible roof currently does not work. Luckily, these tops are not as expensive to repair as the old SL500s . A reputable local shop diagnosed that the car needs a new electrical pump/actuator and estimated the cost at about $1,500. Second, the car will show a check engine light about once a month for a day or so. It has been diagnosed as a mass airflow sensor. Cost to replace is about $400. For example, I have been driving the car for the past month, and the check engine light came on only once and then turned off again on the same day. There is no check engine light on as of now. Third, there is a small crack in the front drivers side wheel. It is completely cosmetic and has been there for over 30k miles with no problems to driveability. The car was involved in two very MINOR fender benders (not my fault, and needless to say I was not pleased) about 10 and 13 years ago, respectively. But as you can see from the photos, it was expertly repaired by the best body shop in town and it looks like new and drives perfectly. Again, the car had ZERO driveability issues following the repairs and has required nothing but regular servicing since. Please feel free to contact me to discuss. I envision the next owner of this car as someone who knows they're getting a very rare and special SLK, but also understands that it will take a small investment to repair the items that I have mentioned above. The next owner will also get the original 17 inch AMG wheels ( they have some curb rash, but I would be willing to pay to repair them if I receive an offer close to Buy It Now), the original exhaust and air box. Basically, the car can be returned to stock if desired. I have owned this car for 14 years and maintained it meticulously both cosmetically and with regard to regular servicing. It saddens me to sell it because it has been such a pleasure to own, but it deserves a loving new home for Christmas! Thanks for looking and please do not hesitate to contact me with questions or to discuss an offer. Since I am also advertising the car locally, please be aware that I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. |

Mercedes has already booked 30k orders for new S-Class
Mon, 21 Oct 2013When Toyota snags 30,000 Corolla orders over a three-month span, it's entirely possible we're in the midst of a global economic collapse and that the end is nigh. That's because the scale for Toyota is so very large. Mercedes-Benz, on the other hand, operates on a much smaller scale, particularly when we talk about its higher-end models, like the S-Class.
In 2012, Mercedes sold 65,000 of its flagship sedans in Germany and the EU. That's 178 units per day, for 365 days. Based on that, you can imagine the excitement at Stuttgart when it accepted 30,000 orders for the new S-Class in just three months. That's an average of 333 per day on a continent with a notoriously shaky economy. Now, admittedly, this enthusiasm could wane as the refitted S-Class becomes more common and Mercedes achieves market saturation in Europe's many chauffeur and livery services, but Mercedes isn't choosing to look at it that way.
"The new S-Class has already jumped back into the lead in terms of new vehicle registrations in Germany and its neighboring European countries," Mercedes-Benz head of sales and marketing, Ola Kaellenius, said in a statement last week.
VW looking to MAN up, ditch Mercedes van deal
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Unlike the US, the commercial truck market throughout the rest of the world is chocked full of competitors from many different automakers. Since 2006, Volkswagen has had a fullsize van called the Crafter that was a result of a partnership with Daimler AG and based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This partnership is supposed to last through 2016, but Reuters is reporting that VW might be looking to end its relationship with Daimler and create its own van in cooperation with German truck and bus maker MAN.
The article says that VW AG has more than a 75-percent stake in MAN, which would essentially be keeping the new commercial vehicle in-house. Even if VW bolts, Daimler still has a deal worked out in the commercial truck industry between its subsidiary Mitsubishi Fuso and Renault-Nissan to supply the other with different trucks.
Race Recap: Singapore Grand Prix is about a safety car and submission
Mon, 23 Sep 2013The Singapore Formula One Grand Prix is the Monaco GP of the Orient - a weekend known more for its glamour and time-slot than on-track action, with a temporary circuit that punishes every mistake, usually terminally.
Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas got the best of Free Practice 1, opening the curtain on a possible resurgence of Silver Arrows performance. By the time qualifying was done, though, it was his teammate Nico Rosberg who lined up second on the grid, followed by Romain Grosjean with a beautiful performance in the Lotus, Mark Webber in the Infiniti Red Bull, and Hamilton all the way back in fifth. Behind them were Felipe Massa outqualifying Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button getting the McLaren into eighth, Daniel Ricciardo with another good Q3 effort to get into ninth, and the shocker of Esteban Gutiérrez getting his Sauber into the top ten for the first time this year.
At the front of the pack was Sebastian Vettel. Again. But he was only ahead of Rosberg by a single tenth of a second...
