1999 Mercedes-benz C43 Amg on 2040-cars
Harwood Heights, Illinois, United States
Hello! Listed here is my 1999 C43 AMG. Clear illinois title and Carfax. This car drives very well. This car was originally bought in Canada so it has a KM cluster and Celsius reading for aircon. The cluster reading states 192,500 kilometers which is around 119XXX miles. The car had minor body rust which is very common on these cars, I had her repainted in its original black opal color. She looks very good but keep in mind its not a show quality paint job but still looks sharp. Transmission had been replaced by the previous owner. Shifts very smooth and on point.
I have changed parts out which include: Lower control arms and balljoints, center steering link with inner and outer tierods. Steering damper shock. Motor mounts and transmission mount. Serpentine belt. Coolant flush with MB fluid. Oil filter housing gasket and oil cooler gaskets. New Eibach springs all around with a lower stance. New Bridgestone Blizzaks on New 17' Rial wheels. ( Made in Poland) not China MB rubber all weather mats Momo wood steering wheel from the late 90's that was a New old stock I imported from Europe. Feels very good and sporty. ( I still have the original wheel that will be given) Aftermarket Navigation radio w/ original Bose speakers. ( original radio included as well ) Cons: fuel guage only works when a quarter tank in left. ( I messed it up while installing the steering wheel as well as not putting the cruise control stalk back either) I never looked into it because it gives you enough of a reading so you don't run out of fuel. Trunk button is missing on the interior console. ( works fine on the remotes) Overall this is a very good solid driving AMG that I love to drive. With all the work I have done to the front end suspension she drives like a true sports sedan. I am open to offers close to my asking price but please be respectful as I am in no rush to sell. Thank you for looking at my ad! Car is in Norridge,IL 60706 |

Workers at Mississippi auto supplier protesting low wages
Tue, Feb 24 2015Workers at an automotive seat factory in Mississippi are protesting what they say are low wages and poor working conditions as they attempt to unionize in what could become a new front for the United Auto Workers in the state. A group of workers and supporters at the Faurecia SA seating plant in Cleveland plans a Tuesday march. "We work an auto job and we're getting paid like Wal-Mart wages," said Jamarqus Reed, a 32-year-old Pace resident who has worked at the plant for almost 10 years. "We're trying to better ourselves." Nationally, the UAW has staked its future on unionizing Southern auto factories, with limited success so far. The union has been trying to organize Nissan Motor Co.'s Canton, MS, plant for years, and lost a 2008 worker vote at a Johnson Controls plant in nearby Madison that French-based Faurecia bought in 2011. The UAW narrowly lost a unionization vote at the Volkswagen AG plant in Chattanooga, TN, last year, but the union has since qualified for a new labor policy at the plant that grants access to meeting space and to regular discussions with management. The policy stops short of collective bargaining rights. The union is also trying to organize Nissan's assembly plant in Smyrna, TN, and Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz plant in Tuscaloosa, AL. Protesters say Faurecia employees make a top wage of $11.64 per hour, while contract workers make $7.73 an hour. Company spokesman Tony Sapienza said that with overtime, the typical Faurecia employee makes more than the $27,000 a year that is the median wage around Cleveland. Wages are often low in the heavily impoverished Delta. "We are very confident that we are offering a very competitive wage," Sapienza said. Organizers criticize use of lower-paid contract workers Shannon Greenidge, a 44-year-old Cleveland resident, said she worked for a labor agency for more than two years before being hired directly by Faurecia. Greenidge said she makes $9.29 an hour, and can't save for retirement or to send her 11-year-old daughter to college. "That's not going to help me down the line in life," she said. Union supporters say as many as half the workers at the plant work for a contract-labor agency. Sapienza said that while the number varies, the company expects 15 percent of its workforce will be temporary employees this year. The UAW has organized some Southern auto parts plants in recent years, including Faurecia plants in Cottondale, Alabama, in 2012 and Louisville, Kentucky in 2013.
Mercedes could make EV batteries with Audi, BMW
Mon, Sep 21 2015It'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:
