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-Benz may create electric-only brand
Fri, Jun 24 2016Daimler's Mercedes-Benz division may follow in fellow German automaker BMW's footsteps by launching its own separate brand for electric vehicles, Hybrid Cars says, citing German publication Handelsblatt, which quoted people familiar with the process. Daimler's board may make the decision to go ahead with the plan as early next month. And the brand may officially be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in September. Unlike BMW and the i brand, Mercedes would use its existing factories to produce the newly-branded vehicles instead of operating out of a separate one as the i brand does. The first vehicle under the brand is likely to be an SUV model based on the Mercedes-Benz GLC crossover vehicle and would start sales next year. The product line would be broadened further in 2020. Daimler declined to comment, according to Handelsblatt. Mercedes-Benz and BMW wouldn't be the only two German automakers with plans for more electric vehicle sales. Volkswagen has a plan to unleash as many as 20 electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids to the public by 2020, including the Phaeton and the Audi A8. On that note, reports surfaced last month that VW may build its own "Gigafacory" as it prepares to widen its plug-in vehicle push and bring down their costs. As for US sales, Smart sold 313 ForTwo Electric vehicles, down 43 percent from a year earlier. Meanwhile, BMW's i sales in the US fell 40 percent from a year earlier to 2,723. Currently, Mercedes-Benz's only two electric vehicles are the Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive and the Smart ForTwo Electric two-seat vehicle. In the meantime, take a look at Autoblog's First Drive of the B-Class Electric. Related Video: News Source: Handelsblatt, Hybrid Cars Green Mercedes-Benz smart Electric
Here's what Jay Leno will be working on in 2016
Tue, Dec 29 2015Jay Leno always has a project or five underway in his garage, and since 2015 is practically over, his latest video offers a glimpse at some of the amazing vehicles we might see his team complete in the coming year. Leno's crew certainly has a lot to do next year. Leno's most impressive current undertaking is an effort to modernize a 1914 Detroit Electric with about ten times its original power output. He showed off the vintage EV as just a shell in his last tour of the garage, but his team has now recreated the wood body. They also started the project's bigger challenge of installing a new electric motor and lithium-ion batteries from a Nissan Leaf. If EVs don't interest you, Leno has plenty of other irons in the fire, too. There's a 1971 Porsche 911 that's under restoration to turn it into a solid driver and several motorcycles in various states of repair. Leno even welcomes viewers into his dyno room to check out the work on the Chrysler V8 for his Cunningham. The results of this wrenching and welding on these projects should make for even more compelling videos in 2016.
Brabus to storm Geneva with 800-hp version of Mercedes SL65 AMG
Wed, 27 Feb 2013At no point during our recent drive of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG did we ever think, "You know, this thing sure is slow." After all, Merc's range-topping SL comes fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 capable of sending 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. But just in case you're still all "meh" about what the SL65 throws down, Brabus will gladly come to your rescue with this, the 800 Roadster.
As its name suggests, the 800 Roadster ups the V12's power figures to 800 horsepower and - wait for it - 1,047 pound-feet of torque. Don't get too excited, though - that torque number has been electronically limited to a measly 811 lb-ft since, you know, the transmission would probably explode if you tried to put the full force through it. Nevertheless, these represent increases of 79 hp and 73 lb-ft over the standard SL65, and that means the 800 Roadster can shoot to 62 miles per hour in just 3.7 seconds - two-tenths of a second quicker than the Merc its based on. More impressively, hitting 124 mph takes just under 10 seconds, and the droptop will finally top out at an electronically limited - limited! - 217 mph. Holy smokes.
To manage all of that speed, Brabus has engineered a special carbon fiber aero kit that reduces lift, and a unique control module for the SL65's active body control suspension lowers the ride height by one full inch. The 800 Roadster rides on new 20-inch wheels, and a unique limited-slip rear differential was added, featuring a 40 percent locking rate that further enhances performance when you're attempting to control the beast at its limits. Interior upgrades include new leather and alcantara surfaces throughout the cabin, including a leather-clad trunk.
