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... |

Audi considers a rugged SUV — maybe on the Scout platform
Fri, Jan 27 2023Audi engineers are formulating plans to possibly build a “super saloon” luxury off-roader SUV in 2027, It would compete in a segment that now includes the Land Rover Defender and Mercedes-Benz G-Class, according to a report in BritainÂ’s Autocar. According to Audi designer Marc Lichte, quoted in the story, the platform for the new model could be borrowed from the Volkswagen GroupÂ’s recently announced sister brand, Scout Motors, which is currently developing electric-powered concepts and prototypes. While Audi has developed a PPE (Premium Platform Electric) architecture for its base EV lineup, that would be replaced in the planned model with ScoutÂ’s ladder chassis to provide the steep departure angles and ground clearance needed to negotiate tough terrain, as well as with the latest generation of AudiÂ’s Quattro four-wheel-drive technology, Autocar reports. Audi is well into development of its Activesphere project, an enticing design blend of coupe and hatchback. The Activesphere uses PPE, co-developed by Audi and Porsche, and will appear in a production Audi product by the end of this year. Audi says. Beyond that, “I think there is space" for a rugged SUV in AudiÂ’s passenger car lineup, Lichte said. “There is potential because there are only two premium players” in this particular segment" (Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover) “and I think there is a space for a third one.” The upscale Defender was by far Land RoverÂ’s best-selling car last year, with 66,805 sold, and the G-Class set a new sales record the previous year with 41,174 moved worldwide. Audi obviously would like to capitalize on this popularity of the rugged 4x4 segment. The proposed competitor, said Lichte, “will not look like a G-Class and it will not look like a Defender, I can promise you. It will be something else."

Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept crossover leaked ahead of Shanghai debut
Wed, 17 Apr 2013With just a few days left before the start of the Shanghai Motor Show, images of the Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept compact crossover have emerged online. The little 'ute is based on the small A-Class hatchback, and though it shares an identical wheelbase, is larger in every other dimension.
Looking like a rough-and-tumble five-door hatchback on the tippy toes of its 20-inch wheels, the GLA is most certainly destined for production in a toned down form that will borrow many bits and pieces from other cars based on this platform like the aforementioned A-Class and the CLA-Class sedan. Carscoop reports that the production version of the GLA will be revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September of this year, with sales to the public starting in 2014.
Since it's based on the A-Class, we expect that the production GLA-Class will be powered by your choice of Mercedes' 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine and a diesel or two, and will offer transmissions that include the company's seven-speed DCT and perhaps a six-speed manual (at least in Europe). If the GLA follows the same path as the two cars before it, expect a GLA45 AMG producing over 300 horsepower, as well. As for what powers the GLA Concept, that just might remain a mystery until the vehicle is officially revealed in China.
