Here is a California 1999 Mercedes Benz 230slk in very good shape, low miles and rare 5-speed manual transmission. I bought this car 18 months ago in San Diego with the goal of having it as my LA daily driver but now I've moved where I can take the subway to work so I don't need it. Downtown Mercedes Benz has performed the following work on the car:

replaced motor and transmission mounts
replaced drive belts
replaced driver's side window regulator
replaced interior and trunk cabin lights
replaced trunk and hood struts
replaced front brake pads and rotors
replaced camshaft solenoid
replaced engine air filter
installed new spark plugs
replaced both lower ball joints and performed four wheel alignment
Headliner also replaced.

I have all receipts for work performed. Car starts up and drives very nicely and the hard-top convertible roof opens and closes every time. Engine purrs through all the gears - the manual transmission makes for a more fun and sporty ride! There is no rust on the car-some small nicks minor surface marks as would be expected from a 15 year old car with mileage but otherwise it looks great. Clean interior; no rips in the seats; no dash cracks; just the typical wearing of a car of this mileage and age - but some patina on the rear view mirror - nothing major as it still works. AC works but could probably use a freon refill. Spare and jack in the trunk; electronics fully functional as is keyless entry; car comes with 2 keys though one is worn so I use only as a spare; owner's manual included. A very good car at an excellent reserve price = great value.

Car is sold as-is with no warranty implied. Please ask any and all questions before bidding. I reserve the right to cancel any bids or sell this item before the listing ends. Car is in the Metro Los Angeles area for pick-up - transportation is to be arranged and paid for by the buyer. A $1,000 overnight cashier's check is expected within 48 hours of the close of this auction, and the remainder within 7 days from the close of auction. Upon receipt, deposit and clearance of the remainder, I will then mail the clear title to you. Documentation will be sent to you after sale is completed and keys will be given to your transport company. The car must leave my premises within 14 days from the close of auction. Of course, it you are in the LA area, much of this can be done with an in-person exchange. Good luck.

Geely and Mercedes-Benz invest $780 million to make electric Smart cars

Wed, Jan 8 2020

BEIJING/SHANGHAI — Zhejiang Geely and Mercedes-Benz on Wednesday said they would each invest $388.77 million (2.7 billion yuan) in a China-based venture to build "premium and intelligent electrified" vehicles under the Smart brand. The 50:50 venture has received regulatory approval and will be based in the Chinese coastal city of Ningbo, the Chinese and German automakers said in a statement. Like Mercedes-Benz, smart is a Daimler marque. The venture will have manufacturing capacity in China and sales operations in China and Germany, the automakers said. Geely will lead in engineering the cars while Mercedes-Benz will take charge of their overall look, they said. The partners will each have three executives on the board of directors, with Geely's Tong Xiangbei becoming the venture's global chief executive. Geely has expanded rapidly through mergers and acquisitions since buying Sweden's Volvo in 2010 from U.S. parent Ford. In 2018, it built a stake of almost 9.7% in Daimler and set up a ride-hailing venture in China with the Stuttgart-based carmaker. Its latest announcement comes just over a month after China's Great Wall and Germany's BMW formed a venture to build electric Mini-branded cars in China, the world's biggest market for electrified vehicles where demand for smaller EVs is on the rise.

2014 Mercedes B-Class ED battery much bigger than previously stated

Mon, Jun 23 2014

There was something unexpected hiding in the new configurator for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive: a $600 "Temporary range extender." Since we've never heard of such a thing, we had to click through for more. The official explanation runs like this: A suite of options to further increase your driving range includes added insulation of the doors and roof for to increase climate-control efficiency, along with an electrically heated windshield and a range-extending charge function. By pressing a button on the console prior to charging, the maximum charge level for battery will increased for the next charge cycle. The higher-capacity charge can provide up to 17 additional miles of range. The passive features that increase range should be standard in all models, we think. But we were more curious about the battery charge situation. How do you increase a maximum? And is it a good idea to do so? The configurator includes this disclaimer, after all: Range extender should only be used on a limited basis, and could shorten battery life if used excessively. How much is excessive? We investigate below. The B-Class ED has, according to the specs, a 28-kWh battery. First, let's understand what this "temporary range extender" is all about. The B-Class ED has, according to the specs, a 28-kWh battery. But Terry Wei, from the Mercedes-Benz USA product and technology communications department, confirmed to AutoblogGreen that the B-Class ED is actually hiding a 36-kWh battery, but the automaker is calling it a 28-kWh battery because that's how much energy capacity is used in day-to-day use. Most automakers publicly claim the actual capacity and then admit they use a percentage of it. The Chevy Volt, for example, has a 16.5-kWh battery pack, but a "full charge" only fills up around 65 percent of that. In the B-Class ED, the 28 kWh of useable energy provides an EPA-certified 87 miles of range. But, since there are eight kWh of reserve, the temporary range extender (we think of it as a software update accessed by a button) can access some of that and offer the aforementioned 17 miles. Now that we know what we're dealing with, this reminds us of an evolved version of the "remote wireless charging" feature that was touted in the Reva EV. Wei said that the reason the feature is optional is because Mercedes doesn't think most people will need it. Eighty-seven miles is plenty for your average EV driver, but when you want to have 100+ in the tank, you can.
