2001 Mercedes-benz Clk430 Base Convertible 2-door 4.3l on 2040-cars
Henderson, Nevada, 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 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! |

New Die Hard movie wrecked 132 cars in $11 million chase scene [w/video]
Sat, 16 Feb 2013It would seem the act of dying hard brings with it lots of wanton destruction of the four-wheeled kind. According to John Moore, director of A Good Day To Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again. Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there... That's the fun of it."
Please join us in one great big collective sigh. Done? Okay, let's continue.
"With Die Hard it's about how audacious the action is," says Moore. "So you have to drive over a Lamborghini. An actual one. And yes it hurts me. I'm a car fanatic." Yeah. Sounds like it hurt really bad... though not as bad as the final tally after all the carnage had been counted: "Someone showed me the numbers on the car chase and soup to nuts, you put it all together it was like an $11 million sequence."
Honda, Hyundai top car residual value / depreciation awards list
Thu, Nov 18 2021J.D. Power announced its 2022 U.S. ALG Residual Value awards Thursday, with Honda and Hyundai topping the charts at three models apiece in the industry-standard study. The term "residual" is an industry projection of how well a car will hold its resale value three years from the original purchase date – a key metric in calculating lease costs and projecting new-car depreciation. Award winners included several enthusiast-friendly options, including the BMW 2 Series, Dodge Charger, Subaru WRX, Mercedes-AMG GT and Toyota Tacoma. Even the Ford Bronco was recognized, beating out the Jeep Wrangler in the Off-Road Utility segment. That may seem odd given the car's issue-plagued launch, but scarcity apparently trumps quality control issues over the longer term. Here's a scrolling complete list of winners broken down by segment: “Accurately forecasting residual values in the auto industry is a key factor in assessing an estimated $225 billion lease portfolio of vehicles in the United States,” said ALG VP Eric Lyman in the company's announcement. "The brands and vehicle models that rise to the top demonstrate that they score well across the award programÂ’s criteria, including manufacturersÂ’ superior design and quality." ALG looks at several factors to determine future value, which is especially tricky with new models. For 2022, 16 different brands were recognized across 29 segments. Behind Honda and Hyundai, Audi, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover and Subaru all managed to chart with two different models. Here's the rundown of those who won in more than one category: Honda Civic Honda Passport Honda Odyssey Hyundai Accent Hyundai Kona Hyundai Kona EV Audi A6 Allroad Audi Q3 Kia K5 Kia Telluride Land Rover Range Rover Velar Land Rover Discovery Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Mercedes-Benz Metris: Subaru  WRX and Subaru Forester Toyota Tacoma Toyota Tundra "The award process consists of evaluating 284 models through analysis of used-vehicle performance, brand outlook and product competitiveness," the announcement said. "Eligibility for a brand award requires a manufacturer to have model entries in at least four different segments. To account for differences across trim levels, model averages are weighted based on percentage share relative to the entire model line."  Audi Honda Hyundai Kia Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Subaru Toyota
Continental Automotive recalls 5 million airbag control units
Thu, Feb 4 2016Takata isn't the only supplier having airbag problems. Rival manufacturer Continental Automotive Systems announced a recall of 5 million airbag control units fitted to vehicles from Honda, Fiat Chrysler Automotive, Mercedes-Benz, and even a certain Chrysler-based Volkswagen. This sweeping recall has actually been in progress for some time, although the exact scope is only now becoming evident. In October of 2015, Mercedes-Benz recalled 2008 and 2009 model year C- and GLK-Class vehicles because their Continental-made airbag control units could corrode. Such a condition could cause the airbags to deploy without cause or warning, or in the event of a crash, not deploy at all. You can read all about it in our post from last year. Now, Continental's recall is going wide. Alongside the already recalled C and GLK, you've already heard about the 2008 and 2009 Honda Accord airbag recall, which we reported on yesterday. Now, Fiat Chrysler is announcing the recall of the 2009 Dodge Journey, as well as the 2008 and 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler Town and Country, and their rebadged counterpart, the Volkswagen Routan. Yes, one manufacturer is recalling another manufacturer's vehicle. The models listed above only amount to about 580,000 vehicles out of 5 million bad airbag control units. And since Continental will notify manufacturers who will then issue their own recalls, it's extremely likely that more brands and vehicles will be ensnared. Stay tuned.
