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... |

SRT Viper dukes it out with Mercedes SLS Black Series in new Head 2 Head
Fri, 05 Jul 2013In Episode 36 of Motor Trend's Head 2 Head, now that the Corvette ZR1 is no more, Jonny Lieberman has to look overseas to the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series for a challenger with similar philosophy to the SRT Viper: long hood hiding a high-horsepower engine set way back, rear-wheel drive, tiny trunks. That puts the Viper's 8.4-liter V10 with 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque against the SLS AMG's 6.2-liter V8 with 622 hp and 468 lb-ft.
However, the congruences in philosophy and magnitude of numbers doesn't translate to the driving experiences of the two, which are literally and figuratively on different continents. Lieberman gets a handle on the two of them on Northern California roads, Randy Probst then finds out how, and how quickly, they can lap Laguna Seca.
They both get kudos for being improvements on their original sources, but only one of them can take the win. You can find out by watching the video below.
Luxury car brands scrambling to avoid a blue Christmas
Thu, Nov 2 2017DETROIT — When financial markets surge to new records, sales of luxury cars usually rise, too. Instead, October U.S. auto sales reports on Wednesday showed that a collapse in sales of luxury sedans is accelerating. Consumers have gradually shifted over to luxury sport utility vehicles from sedans in the past decade, but the trend — which has occurred in both the non-luxury and luxury sedan segments of the auto market — was particularly pronounced in October. Sales of Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz S-Class, long a global benchmark for large, premium sedans, plunged 49 percent in October, and are down 24.8 percent for the year to date. General Motors' Cadillac brand said it sold just 779 of its CTS sedans in October. Demand for that car, designed to compete with German luxury sedans, is down nearly 33 percent for the year. "There's still a significant portion of the market that wants a car, but I'm sure there were people who preferred a horse to a car at one point." Cadillac's best-selling model this year is the XT5 compact SUV, which has more than doubled sales from a year ago. The shift within the luxury vehicle market away from sedans toward SUVs of all sizes is forcing some of the most prestigious brands to scramble to add SUV models to their lineups or boost SUV production to meet demand. "In the short term, there will be pressure to add (consumer) incentives, cut production or both," said Cox Automotive analyst Michelle Krebs. "And we just don't see an end in sight to this trend." The Dow Jones Industrial Average has been trading at all-time highs, usually a good sign for luxury sedans, but as major automakers reported new U.S. vehicle sales for October on Wednesday, sales for passenger cars continued their slide while luxury SUV and crossover sales rose again. According to Kelley Blue Book data, in 2007 luxury sedans made up 7.6 percent of U.S. new vehicle sales, while luxury SUVs made up 4.2 percent. Through September this year, luxury SUVs made up just over 7 percent of the market, compared with 4.9 percent for luxury sedans. In the short term, luxury brands could use holiday season sales promotions to clear slow-selling sedans off dealer lots, analysts said. Toyota's Lexus brand said on Wednesday it will launch its "December to Remember" year-end sales promotion for the 18th straight year.
