About my 57,000 mile 2001 - Black MB CLK320 Convertible
I purchased the car (via eBay) two years ago from a local online dealer. I wanted a reliable, low mile, four seater convertible for sunny spring and summer day trips. I've driven approximately 3K miles since then. The car has been garaged and NEVER been in wet weather. The car has NO dings, creases, body issues whatsoever. A Carfax report will confirm that this car has never been in an accident. It is straight and true. The roof is in A+ Condition. All glass is clear with no cracks/defects. Tires are in good shape. Looks like the battery is only 3 years old. Brakes wouldn't need service for probably 10K miles (depending on how you drive). Next major service is >11K miles away. The car is 12 years old, so naturally it has a few small scratches, imperfections etc.
The dealer didn't exactly represent the car accurately and I ended up doing the following work over the first couple of weeks of ownership.
1. Headlamps were badly fogged (notorious MB issue), so I had them cleaned - They are now crystal clear
2. Headlamps and Low Beam Bulbs were blown - I replaced with new halogen bulbs
3. Fog Light Glass was cracked - I replaced the glass and installed halogen bulbs
4. The side mirror controller was broken - I replaced with a new controller
5. The 6 CD player was broken - I had it repaired
6. The A/C wasn't working - I had it repaired
7. The tires were worn - I replaced all four, they are currently 8-32 with lots of tread depth
8. Replaced windshield wiper (The CLK only has one)
9. Fixed the windscreen washer motor
In addition to things that needed to be repaired, I also decided to,
1. Replace the stock front grille with an AMG style grille
2. Add AMG wheel inserts
3. Purchase a new 2001 MB CLK320 Owners Manual
4. Freshen up the wheels with a fresh coat of German Alloy Silver Paint (I will include a can and lacquer with the purchase)
A year or so ago,
The convertible cover stopped retracting, so I had a new motor added. Now working perfectly (I will include a full 1qt MB Hydraulic Fluid).
If I was keeping the car (I may if it doesn't sell), I would make the following repairs,
1. Repair the driver/passenger leather seats where the seams are splitting by the shoulder. ALL MB CLK and E Class seats go at some point in this area. IF you purchase the vehicle @ my low "Buy It Now" price, I'll take them to the dealer and get them done before you pick the car up. It is a $200 repair.
2. Have the alloy wheels professionally rehabbed or replace them with an AMG set (~$500).
About the Seller,
I've been on eBay since 1999. I buy and sell and maintain 100% Feedback. I am interesting in buying and selling items that are great value and accurately describe the item. If you want to know more about the car, want more pictures, contact me. I want to make sure that you know what you're buying and (UNLIKE ME), don't have lots of unexpected repairs to make.
If you're in the Philly Area, I'll deliver the car to you (within 50 miles). If you want to see the car, I'll meet you at a convenient location. If you want to ship the car, I'll work with you to make the car available when convenient.
The car is sold "AS IS". No warranty is implied or provided with this vehicle. A $500 Non-Refundable deposit is required within 72 hours of purchase via Pay-Pal. I will release the Car AND Title when the balance of the funds have cleared.

Daimler CEO says nobody is making money on EVs right now
Wed, Nov 5 2014What do you charge for a vehicle you're going to lose money on? If you're Mercedes-Benz and the vehicle in question is the B-Class Electric Drive, you offer it for lease for just 399 euros ($498) a month with a down payment of 8,473 euros ($10,582). If Daimler was going to price it honestly, it seems, the number would have to be a lot higher. "Nobody today is making a battery-powered vehicle that's economically viable." – Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche That's according to Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche, who spoke to reporters in Spain recently and said that, "You can reasonably say that nobody today is making a battery-powered vehicle that's economically viable in its own right. Manufacturers will not see a return within a reasonable time on the billions they're investing now." There are ways to make money in EVs, of course. Just ask Daimler, which recently sold its stake in Tesla for a cool $780 million. Zetsche has some EV-critical company in executives like Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne, who has said his company loses over $10,000 on each Fiat 500E it sells. Other automakers – e.g., Tesla, Nissan – are much more positive about their financial bet on EVs, but no one is opening all their books to the public to prove this. Tesla, which worked with Mercedes on the B-Class ED, will have an earnings call with investors later today, so perhaps we'll learn something new in a few hours. The B-Class ED lease deal is for 36 months, based on an MSRP of 39,151 euros ($48,895) in Europe, including the 19 percent VAT. You can read more in the press release below. Commercial release of Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive: Local emission-free driving from ˆ399/month Stuttgart, Nov 03, 2014 With its high-torque electric motor, the B-Class Electric Drive delivers lively and superior driving pleasure – with zero local emissions. The B-Class Electric Drive is now available to order, with deliveries set to start before the end of 2014. Prices start at ˆ39,151[1]. The B-Class Electric Drive can be leased through the Mercedes-Benz Bank from ˆ399 a month[2]. Further information on the full range of tailor-made leasing and financing offers as well as specific pricing examples are available at http://www.mercedes-benz-bank.de. Quiet and local emission-free driving is ensured by a 132 kW electric motor, which, as is typical of an electric drive, delivers its maximum torque of 340 Nm right from the start. The result is noticeably powerful acceleration from rest.
Next Mercedes-Benz GLK to get AMG variant? Not likely...
Fri, 15 Mar 2013If you think Mercedes-Benz will slap an AMG badge on anything with wheels, think again. Word has it the German manufacturer will not offer buyers a performance version of the GLK, with Tobias Moers, director of AMG vehicle development, saying that he doesn't see a market for the car. That's not to say the picture won't change in the near future, however. According to CarAdvice.com, AMG is keeping a close eye on the arrival of the Porsche Macan.
"Maybe there will be a change in the market when the Porsche [Macan] comes up," Moers said, "but right now, no."
The real hitch in the giddy-up seems to be cost. Moers says developing the machine into something worthy of an AMG would represent "a huge investment." We can't exactly argue with that. Fortunately, AMG buyers have plenty of Mercedes-Benz models to choose from.
Mercedes, Renault-Nissan to work together on truck project
Wed, Apr 8 2015Just a few weeks ago, Mercedes-Benz barged into the automotive world with news of a pickup as a mysterious but enticing future model from the German brand. Rumors of a possible collaboration with Nissan followed, but Renault-Nissan Alliance CEO Carlos Ghosn refused to give any clear details. That speculation is now over, because the automakers made their truck partnership official. This new information reveals that the Mercedes truck won't be a full in-house creation from Daimler. For example, the pickup will share some of its underpinnings with the latest Nissan NP300 Navara. The German company's engineers, however, will work to change the design to their liking. Also, as in the rendering, Mercedes will use a double-cab body for the model. "Thanks to our well-established partnership with the Renault-Nissan Alliance, we are able to drastically reduce the time and cost to enter this key segment." Daimler Chairman Dr. Dieter Zetsche said in the company's release. Nissan will play a further major role in the project by helping Renault develop a pickup based on the Navara as well. By 2020, all three trucks will be built together in Cordoba, Argentina, for Latin American markets and in Barcelona, Spain, for other parts of the world. Mercedes will target both regular customers and commercial buyers with its truck. While still not officially slated for North America, there's a chance that the Mercedes truck might be sold here. The US arm of the company reportedly has until the end of the year to decide to offer it with some added luxury-oriented upgrades compared to the rest of the world. Daimler & Renault-Nissan Alliance expand cooperation to 1-ton pickup trucks April 07, 2015 Daimler & Renault-Nissan Alliance expand cooperation to 1-ton pickup trucks Nissan and Daimler to jointly develop midsize pickup truck Mercedes-Benz pickup to share some of the architecture with the all-new Nissan NP300 Mercedes-Benz vehicle to be engineered and designed by Daimler to meet specific needs of its customers Mercedes-Benz pickup will target Europe, Australia, South Africa and Latin America Pickup trucks to be built in Barcelona, Spain, and Cordoba, Argentina Latest milestone in the five-year strategic cooperation between Daimler and the Renault-Nissan Alliance STUTTGART/PARIS/YOKOHAMA –The Renault-Nissan Alliance and Daimler AG will expand their five-year strategic cooperation into the pickup truck segment.
