2000 Mercedes SLK230 Designo roadster. This is a gorgeous limited production model, consisting of a special metallic copper exterior and a matching copper and black leather interior. This car has always been garaged, it shows. Mileage is 110,990, and the car has a clean NYS title. I paid cash for the car 3 years ago, mileage at time of purchase was 103,000. I took meticulous car of the car, stored it inside year round and never even drove it in the rain. Averaged only 2,500 miles a summer.
The paint looks incredible, tons of depth and shift depending on lighting. The car was professionally buffed when I purchased it three years ago, the paint looks basically new. People constantly approach me in parking lots asking about the car. I've had people even take pictures of the car. They're shocked when I tell them the paint is original.
Mechanically the car runs perfectly. Lots of power, tight suspension, silent exhaust. I replaced the problematic factory K20 fuel pump relay circuit board with a brand new unit at the beginning of the summer. The car needs nothing mechanically, turn the key and go. The power top works great. I am however including a free full set of new KYB struts/shocks with the sale, just for routine maintenance purposes. The ambient air temperature sensor sometimes jumps around on a hot summer day, so I am including a free sensor with the sale as well. .
The interior shows some normal wear from age and mileage. I provided detailed pictures of every sign of wear. The driver's seat has some slight cracking and the seam under the driver's left shoulder has seperated slightly. The passenger seat looks very nice. The left door panel has a little nick in the armrest, the right door panel has a small puncture in the speaker grill. The center console is in nice shape with just a few small peels. In comparison to most it looks great, I've seen many SLK's where the center console looks tattered and peeled to death. The center console and glove box door show a few scratches and abrasions. This is all normal wear and tear, I'm just providing an extremely detailed description for you. If I buy a car online, I expect this type of attention to detail. The only real issue that'd I'd address is the steering wheel. It is heavily discolored and worn. Not sure if this was a factory defect on the Designo cars, as the wear is all on the orange leather on the top half of the steering wheel. When I purchased the car I considered getting the wheel rewrapped, or swapping in a used factory all black steering wheel. I decided to leave it alone though and just live with it. I'm a automotive professional, 8 years selling parts and cars. 100% positive feedback, I'm a trustworthy and honest seller.
The exterior is in very nice condition. The front and rear bumper covers have very minor normal scuffs and rock chips, normal. The hood has one minor rock chip above the grill that was filled in with a touch up stick. The touch up stick is in the glove box. What looks like damage to the hood closer to the windshield is just cloud reflection from the sky. The fenders, doors, and rear quarters are in great shape. The retractable roof has a minor ding. The decklid is in great shape. The folding mirrors are in good shape, although both have some minor clearcoat fading/wear. The only wheels that come with the car will be the factory 16" aluminum rims. They are in great condition and have a matching set of Michelin Pilot tires with between 50-75% tread.
I paid top dollar for the Giovanna 19" chrome wheels new when I purchased the SLK. The front Cooper tires have 7,000 miles on them, the rear Bridgestone's are two different run-flat models, and have roughly 25% tread left. I am asking $600 for the full set. If you win the auction you can purchase these seperately, if you aren't interested I will sell them in a seperate auction on Ebay subsequently.
Payment must be made within 5 days. A $250 non-refundable Paypal deposit is due immediately at the end of the auction. I only accept certified bank checks and cash. The car will be held until the funds clear. I can assist in loading the car on a hauler, I live a block away from a massive parking lot that a big rig can turn around in.

Autoblog fan favorite car ads from Super Bowl XLIX
Mon, Feb 2 2015Super Bowl XLIX is in the books, and the New England Patriots emerged victorious. Of course, if you're like us, the big game wasn't so much about the battle between the east coast and west, so much as a fight between the world's automotive advertisers. We collected and collated all of last night's new ads and put them together for you to vote on. And yes, we're limiting this year's contest to last night's new features. That's why you aren't seeing Dodge's epic Wisdom among our collection of commercials, and it's a similar story with Chevrolet's Truck Guy Focus Group series, which highlights the new Colorado. You can still vote for your favorites. We won't be closing the voting on our Super Bowl page, so while the winners and losers are correct as of this writing, it's entirely possible that there could be some changes in the rankings as time goes on. So, without any further ado, here are the winning ads based on your voting. Nissan: With Dad Fiat: Ready For Action Jeep: Beautiful Lands BMW: Newfangled Idea Mercedes-Benz: Fable NASCAR: America Start Your Engines As for those ads that failed to impact you, loyal readers, Toyota was the absolute, undisputed loser. The Japanese brand ran four ads in total – two for Toyota and two for Lexus – and all of them have negative tallies as of this writing. Lexus' Make Some Noise and Lets Play and Toyota's One Bold Choice and My Bold Dad both had very weak showings among the commercials that aired, although they weren't alone. Neither Mazda nor Kia scored particularly well, despite featuring celebrity magic act Penn and Teller and former James Bond, Pierce Brosnan, respectively. Chevrolet was the winner of the losers, as of our writing, recording the fewest downvotes for its audience-punking The Big Game ad. If you want to take a second look at the losing ads, you can head back to our Super Bowl page for the complete collection. But for now, head into Comments and let us know what you think of the results.

Smart Cross Connect app changes how ForTwos get used [UPDATE]
Tue, Oct 27 2015UPDATE: The story's been updated with a response from a Smart representative. There are parking spaces, and then there are Fortwo parking spaces. Smart, which is owned by Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler, is looking for a way for its customers to take advantage of the difference. Think of it as a big thing for really small cars. Smart is working on an app for the redesigned Fortwo called Cross Connect that will be available as soon as next month, says Automotive News, citing Smart chief Annette Winkler. The idea is to connect owners of the diminutive two-seat vehicles to, for example, let them tell each other when there's a parking space that's too small for just about any other vehicle but big enough for a Smart. If you think that's a small thing, think again. The Fortwo is 8 feet, 10 inches long. That's almost six feet shorter than a Toyota Prius, which itself isn't exactly a stretch limo. In fact, the length of a Smart Fortwo is just 10 inches longer than the width of a Ford F-150, in case anyone was having misgivings about parking perpendicular in a parallel spot. Parking has become more relevant, and tougher, as more people move to urban centers. For instance, BMW said earlier this month that it would discontinue its DriveNow car-sharing operations in San Francisco because of the challenge of parking vehicles on that city's streets. Other possible amenities with the Cross Connect app including the enabling of personal car sharing as well as information on car washes that offer discounted rates for Smart Fortwo. Yes, there are some out there, apparently, and we salute them. Michael Minielly, a spokesman for Mercedes-Benz, confirmed to Autoblog that the Cross Connect features would be available in November.
