I am selling a 2007 CLK 550 convertible. This is black with all black leather interior. Currently has a little over 86k miles.

 

The good:

I am a picky mechanic and take care of all my cars to the T. Maintenance is always done and whenever I get so much as a door ding, I have it removed. Upon buying the car, I became frustrated with early rear tire wear and discovered this is a common problem with this model. I installed an aftermarket camber kit that allows you to adjust rear camber to zero spec, and since doing so the car uses tires normally. That was my main criticism of the car and now its a dream to drive.

Additionally, I removed the center resonator and 2nd cats (not cats really but small glass packs) in the exhaust. Its just slightly louder and will put them in a box in the trunk if you want to reinstall them. However, since doing so I've picked up some extra horsepower and better gas mileage. I now get 22.5 mpg on the highway which is amazing for a car with close to 400hp.

The car has every added feature including the navigation system, upgraded Harmon Kardon sound system and AMG sport package. The AMG package gives you the chrome wheels seen in the pics as well as a sport exhaust and peddles.

Every feature on the car works exactly as it should including top, AC, stereo, NAV, lights, heater, etc.  The car uses a keyless entry system and detects if the key is in your pocket, allows you to automatically unlock the car and start it without needing to put the key in anything. The car automatically turns the headlights on and off as well as senses when it rains and automatically turns the wipers on and off. Then xenon headlights turn and follow the road as you drive through curves.

There are no door dings on the car or noticeable scratches.

In addition to normal maintenance on schedule, I have just had the transmission serviced, with new Mercedes fluid and filter installed.

Everything about the car drives intuitively and may be the safest car I've ever driven. The brakes stop quickly and the car accelerates and presses you back into the seat. It is a blast to drive!

 

The bad:

There are some tiny chips on the front of the hood that are very small and will not show up on film. The drivers side fog light has a rock chip in the glass but works fine. The rims will have some small scuffs on them from rubbing on a curb but are small and hard to notice just a few feet a way. The black canvass top has some 3-4in oval stains on it that are noticeable once you know where they are but most people never notice them. In fact if the top is damp, they cant be seen. There are some hairline cracks in the leather driver's seat but will not show up on film.

 

NADA website shows clean retail just under $24,999 with this mileage and all the added features. The car was almost 70k new.

Auction is for local pick up so if you want to ship it, you will make the shipping arraignments. The car has clean title and can be fedex'd as soon as funds are wired.

Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?

Sun, Jul 9 2023

The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric.  Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands.  If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) — unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla.  Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor.  Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have:  Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners — those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port — will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 — eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.

Jay Leno tells the story of his Mercedes Gullwing

Thu, Mar 26 2015

With all the new and varied machinery stopping by Jay Leno's Garage on a regular basis, it would be all too easy to forget that the former talk show host has one of the largest and most enviable private collections of automobiles in the world. Leno has hundreds of vehicles at his disposal, but the real value of it all is at least as much about quality as it is quantity. Take this gem, for example. Sure, it's a little worse for wear, but it's got a nice patina to it – and it's a work in progress. One look is all it takes to know exactly what it is: a classic Mercedes-Benz 300SL, complete with Gullwing doors. "The McLaren F1 of its day," Jay calls it, and with good reason. Watch the video above to hear the story of the Gullwing he rescued from the desert and is slowly bringing back to life. Related Video:

Lewis Hamilton needs to step up in his 200th F1 race

Wed, Aug 23 2017

LONDON — Lewis Hamilton will start the 200th grand prix of his Formula One career in Belgium this weekend, but the triple world champion has smaller but more significant numbers on his mind. Refreshed from an August break in the Caribbean, including a trip to Cuba in his role as UNICEF ambassador, the Mercedes driver is 14 points behind championship leader Sebastian Vettel as he revs up for the second half of the season. A fifth victory of 2017 for the Briton would put the pressure back on Ferrari's Vettel, and Hamilton can celebrate another milestone by bagging pole position on Saturday at the long and fast Spa-Francorchamps circuit. That would see Hamilton, who sportingly relinquished third place to team mate Valtteri Bottas in Hungary before the summer shutdown, match the record of 68 poles set by Michael Schumacher with Ferrari in 2006. Mercedes has won the last two Belgian Grands Prix, with now-retired 2016 world champion Nico Rosberg triumphant from pole last year after Hamilton won in 2015. Nobody will be taking anything for granted, however, after Ferrari's one-two win in Budapest at the end of July. "On paper, people will assume that Spa should suit our car because it is a circuit where aerodynamic efficiency is extremely important," Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff said. "But assumptions are dangerous — we have seen too many times already this season that the form book can be rewritten from one weekend to the next. So we will be making no assumptions." Hamilton has won twice before at Spa, as has Vettel, but the track — a classic blast from the past — has not been particularly kind to him. In 2008, when he won his first title, the Briton was demoted from first to third after the race for cutting a chicane, with then Ferrari rival Felipe Massa savoring victory instead. Spa can often be a lottery, with its capricious weather, and rain could be a boon for Red Bull's Belgian-born Dutch teenager Max Verstappen, who can count on plenty of local support in what amounts to a home race. "I just love the track and it'll be nice seeing so many orange (Dutch) fans in the grandstands," he said. "Spa is my favorite track of the year. You have to get everything right but when you get a good lap it's very rewarding." Belgium could also be good for Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen, who arrives with a new contract for 2018 in his pocket.
