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 my 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 of 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 and in great 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!

Next Mercedes-Benz C-Class to get diesel, hybrid versions

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

Mercedes-Benz is planning a more aggressive product strategy for its next-generation C-Class range. "We were fighting the 3 Series with two arms tied behind our back, and now we will change that," Steve Cannon, the automaker's US CEO, told Automotive News in a recent interview.
In addition to offering more body styles of the new C-Class, AN reports that the revamped Mercedes will also be offered here with hybrid and diesel powertrains. Currently, the C-Class comes in coupe and sedan variants, with only gasoline engines. The BMW 3 Series, however, is available as a sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon, and offers buyers the choice of gasoline, diesel (the upcoming 328d) or hybrid power.
Mercedes-Benz will show the next-generation C-Class at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, with sales of the US-built sedan following in August. Coupe, convertible and hybrid models will follow in early 2015, and while diesel and all-wheel-drive versions are planned, no specific timetable has been released regarding availability.

Mercedes moves R-Class production to AM General in Indiana

Tue, Jan 27 2015

Go back a decade or two and you'd have seen the SUV market polarizing in opposite directions: hard-core off-roaders like the Hummer on the one hand, and passenger-focused crossovers like the Mercedes R-Class on the other. Now their fates are set to intertwine, at least as far as manufacturing is concerned. No longer producing Hummers, AM General (which designed and originally produced the Hummer) has been assigned the task of manufacturing the R-Class at its underused, 675,000 square-foot Commercial Assembly Plant in Mishawaka, IN – part of metropolitan South Bend. The decision was undertaken to allow Mercedes to free up production capacity at its plant in Tuscaloosa, AL, where it also produces the M-Class, GL-Class and C-Class, and where it will soon begin manufacturing the GLE Coupe. The vacation of the R-Class assembly line could be earmarked to make room for that new slant-roofed crossover (which was originally thought to be joining the Tuscaloosa plant as a fifth model) or could pave the way for another model to reach Alabama altogether. The multi-year arrangement to manufacture the R-Class makes AM General the first manufacturer contracted to build Mercedes-Benz vehicles in the US, but hardly the only one in the world. The G-Class – which could, incidentally, be characterized as the German equivalent of the Hummer – is built on Mercedes' behalf by Magna Steyr in Austria, and the company builds many of its passenger and commercial vehicles for local consumption under joint ventures in the Far East especially. The R-Class was first introduced in 2005, and though it's still built in America, it was removed from the company's US lineup back in 2012. However Mercedes confirms that, since 2013, it has been and remains available exclusively in China. That puts the R-Class in the rare position of being manufactured in the United States by (or now for) a foreign automaker but unavailable for sale here. AM General Selected As Mercedes-Benz First and Only Contract Manufacturer of Vehicles in the United States SOUTH BEND, Ind., Jan. 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- AM General LLC and Mercedes-Benz U.S. International, Inc., today announced that Mercedes-Benz has selected AM General to manufacture the Mercedes-Benz R-Class luxury vehicle at AM General's world-class 675,000 square-foot Commercial Assembly Plant.
