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.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R named Road & Track Performance Car of the Year
Mon, Nov 9 2015With a 526-horsepower, 5.2-liter V8 that roars to 8,250 rpm, it's really hard to consider the 2016 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350R an underdog in any fight. However, the Shelby held the lowest as-tested price and was only middle of the pack in terms of power in Road & Track's 2016 Performance Car of the Year challenge. The 'Stang's numbers clearly didn't tell the whole story about the potent coupe because Ford's muscle car grabbed the title in this year's test. A model needs to be new or significantly updated to be eligible for the honor, and R&T found an impressive slate of eight candidates this year. The challengers included the Bentley Continental GT3-R, Cadillac ATS-V Coupe, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper ACR, Mercedes-AMG GT S, and Porsche Cayman GT4. The Ferrari 488 GTB was the most expensive of the bunch with an as-tested price of $347,942, which is five times more than the Shelby. Once the group was together, R&T hustled them over curving roads and on the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park. There was a lot to love about the Shelby, even in this impressive crew. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," editor-in-chief Larry Webster said in the announcement of the results. The GT350R joins some great company. Past winners include the Porsche 911 GT3 last year and the Corvette in 2013. For some fantastic photography and the complete appraisal of these performance machines check out R&T's website for the full story.

"With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," said Larry Webster, editor-in-chief of Road & Track. "Not only does the car have soul and harness so much firepower with such ease, but the real achievement here is that it's so approachable. It's a car you can't help but love." The Mustang Shelby GT350R was the winner by a runaway vote.

Paul di Resta returns to DTM with Mercedes
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Some drivers manage to make the transition from one form of motor racing into another, and some run into trouble. Take Paul di Resta, for example. The promising young Scottish driver dominated Formula 3 racing in Europe in 2006, then moved over to Germany's hugely competitive DTM touring car series where he finished second in 2008, third in 2009 and first in 2010. But things didn't go as smoothly for Paul - cousin to retired Indy champion Dario Franchitti - when he moved in to Formula One with the Force India team.
In three years on the grid, he failed to score a single podium finish. Little surprise, then, that Force India opted not to renew his contract for this season. Left without a ride, di Resta is now going back to DTM with longtime supporter Mercedes-Benz, testing the new C-Class touring car today in Portugal. It's good news for Mercedes, which is celebrating 120 years in motor racing this season and, with 2005 champion Gary Paffett also on board, can now count two former champions on its DTM roster.
We wouldn't count Paul out of F1 for good, though. When he won the DTM title four years ago, he was also moonlighting as Force India's test driver, and we wouldn't be surprised to see him pull similar double-duty with the Mercedes F1 team (or another Benz-powered outfit) this year before spring-boarding back into grand prix racing in the future. At 27 years old, he may not have been the youngest driver on the grid this year, but he's still got a good few years ahead of him.
