Your bidding on a very low mileage, clean Mercedes-Benz. Here is the story behind this car. I'm currently the second owner of this vehicle. The first person lived in New Jersey and leased it for three years and put approx. 10,000 miles on the car. In 2010 the car was involved in an accident that required the front quarter panel, bumper, and I believe the hood, to be replaced. The car was repaired with MB parts and was repaired very well. There are no signs that this car was ever in an accident. It runs perfectly with no squeaks or rattles. Now for the frame/structural issue listed on Carfax. Mercedes ran this car through the auction at which time the auction "reported" there was structural/frame damage. Before I purchased the car I had it inspected to see the extent of the damage. The inspection revealed that there wasn't any structural damage, but since it was reported that way Carfax can not remove that comment from their report. I felt comfortable with the car and it drove perfectly so I bought it. I've driven it for two years without a single mechanical issue. The only service that has been performed has been the annual maintenance items (performed at MB Dealer) and they updated a module in the radio for the MBRACE system. I put new Michelin tires on at 15,000 miles primarily because I didn't like the Continentals that came as OEM tires. The Michelin's are a much better riding tire. As I was preparing to sell the vehicle I didn't want to mislead anyone about the structure of this car so I had it inspected for a second time at a local auto repair center here in Arkansas. They also confirmed that there isn't any structural damage to this car. (I've attached a copy of their report along with the pictures) I've tried to contact Carfax to get this issue resolved, but there isn't anything they can do. So even though I have much respect for Carfax, I realize they can't inspect each car and if there is an issue reported in error they still have to include it on the report. That's the whole story behind the car. Since the car has this "record" I realize that I can't sell it for what it really should go for. I bought it at a discounted rate and I'm willing to sell it for a discounted rate as well. I'm also willing to buy the car back within one week if the buyer were to uncover any structural damage that existed prior to the sale. (Shipping would be the buyers responsibility) This CLK 550 had an MSRP over $75,000 new. It has every option available including the power trunk, A/C Seats, Windscreen, Nav, Permium 2 Pkg, and Bluetooth. I'm only asking $25,900 and will listen to any reasonable offer. If you have any concerns or questions please feel free to give me a call. This is an amazing car for the money. If you always wanted to own a Mercedes here is your chance without breaking the bank.

Thanks for looking,

F1's Vettel leads, Verstappen and Grosjean crash at Silverstone

Fri, Jul 6 2018

SILVERSTONE, England — Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel pushed Formula One title rival and home race favorite Lewis Hamilton off the top of the British Grand Prix practice timesheets on Friday while Max Verstappen crashed. Hamilton, winner for the past four years at Silverstone, had started the day by leading a Mercedes one-two in the sunny opening session. Vettel, who leads the Briton by a point in the championship after nine races, put in a lap of 1 minute 27.552 seconds in the afternoon to end the session 0.187 faster than his fellow-four-times world champion. That was still slower than Hamilton's morning time of 1:27.487, however, with Vettel third then and half a second slower. Hamilton's Finnish teammate Valtteri Bottas, with a new engine in his car after last weekend's mechanical retirement in Austria, was second and third fastest respectively in the two sessions. Australian Daniel Ricciardo and Kimi Raikkonen traded fourth and fifth places while Max Verstappen, winner in Austria for Red Bull, was sixth in the morning but crashed after lunch without setting a time. The 20-year-old Dutchman had ended the first session early after he was told to stop the car. Haas's Romain Grosjean had a heavy crash at the fast first corner, slamming into the tire barriers after failing to close the drag reduction system (DRS), in the morning and did not take part in practice two. "The car is destroyed," the Frenchman, who was unhurt in the impact, said over the radio. "I'm very, very sorry guys. I think it was the bump. I missed the (DRS) button." Team boss Guenther Steiner said the team needed to rebuild the chassis. Grosjean's team mate Kevin Magnussen and McLaren's Fernando Alonso were called to see stewards for a "potentially dangerous maneuver" after an incident between them early on but stewards ruled there was no further action needed. "Magnussen tried to hit me two times - in one and three," Alonso reported over the radio. "Very dangerous."Reporting by Alan BaldwinRelated Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Why it's difficult to accurately test the efficiency of a plug-in car

Thu, Feb 5 2015

When it comes to electric vehicles and plug-ins in general, the Environmental Protection Agency-certified range is a hugely important number. While actual range anxiety is largely psychological, the magic number does provide a point of comparison of buyers considering one EV over another. The driving distance is also often touted by automakers when marketing their models. Unfortunately, as Green Car Reports finds in a recent deep dive, the way the EPA calculates the figure is a convoluted mess, and discovering the reasons why is definitely worth the read. The issue isn't about bad science but instead comes down to vague wording. The EPA's accepted range test is sourced from an evaluation called J-1634 from the Society of Automotive Engineers, and it seems to provide balanced results for vehicles that automatically reach a single state of charge when plugged in. However for models with multiple charge settings, the situation gets complicated very quickly. Of course, these modes are often created in the software, meaning that a car's certified driving distance can change with just a few taps of the keyboard without the real world results owners might experience actually changing. By showing the test's effects on the certified range for the Tesla Model S, Nissan Leaf and Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive over the last few years, Green Car Reports makes a compelling argument that it's the evaluation that needs to change. Thankfully, it appears that the solution is a very simple one. Get the details here.

Here's what Jay Leno will be working on in 2016

Tue, Dec 29 2015

Jay Leno always has a project or five underway in his garage, and since 2015 is practically over, his latest video offers a glimpse at some of the amazing vehicles we might see his team complete in the coming year. Leno's crew certainly has a lot to do next year. Leno's most impressive current undertaking is an effort to modernize a 1914 Detroit Electric with about ten times its original power output. He showed off the vintage EV as just a shell in his last tour of the garage, but his team has now recreated the wood body. They also started the project's bigger challenge of installing a new electric motor and lithium-ion batteries from a Nissan Leaf. If EVs don't interest you, Leno has plenty of other irons in the fire, too. There's a 1971 Porsche 911 that's under restoration to turn it into a solid driver and several motorcycles in various states of repair. Leno even welcomes viewers into his dyno room to check out the work on the Chrysler V8 for his Cunningham. The results of this wrenching and welding on these projects should make for even more compelling videos in 2016.
