Mercedes Benz 2000 SLK 230 Sport Kompressor, 123,000 miles, clean title, great shape.
AMG package, Heated seats, AC, Power windows/locks, remote security, supercharged.

A little about the car, I bought it 3 seasons ago, stored it every winter. I had the local Import mechanic replace the headgasket and intake and exhaust manifold gaskets, tune it up and ever since it runs like a top. Compression checked fine and the plugs all look good.   Stored winters, no rust, looks fantastic!

A few things to know, there is no spare tire, I never had a use for it and just carried a can of fix-a-flat (it also makes the trunk considerably bigger!). The interior is in good shape, but the front dash panel is a little loose, I'm sure it's just a clip or two that came loose, but I haven't had time to fix that. Passanger seat has some UV cracking, but is fine.

This is the SPORT model, which came out in 2000 and included a full AMG body kit, with the very desirable 18" AMG monoblock rims. You may wonder why are the rims black? Well I was in the mood to "murder" it last year and had them plasti-coated. Don't like them black? Just peel the coating off or use a pressure washer, very easy google it if you're not sure what this is. Air conditioning works great. A list of what I've done to it in the past 3 seasons. 

- New KYB struts all the way around
- New Brakes pads about 10K ago
- New steering damper
- New rear tires last season ( about 3/4 tread on front & rear)
- Replaced front roof hydraulic seals (common problem on SLK) 
- New headliner
- Had fluids flushed at the Benz dealer last year (Rear Diff, Brake & Coolant)
- Updated headlights to reflector style (huge improvement!)
- Updated running lights with the LED package
- New Alpine CD/MP3/IPHONE interface with JBL speakers.
- Dynomatted the door & trunk which helped the sound quite a bit.
- Updated Grill with OEM black CLK grill
- New ignition switch 
- New key fob (another $300 dealer item but when you pull it out, it looks great!)
- Just changed the Oil to Mobil 1 about 100 miles ago.

Why am I selling it? I wish I wasn't, but I've got a new 16 year old driver and while I'd be happy if she drove the Benz, the wife wants her to drive a bigger all wheel drive car for Minnesota Winters.

The most or nothing: Mercedes-Maybach S650 Cabriolet pushes the luxury limits

Wed, Nov 16 2016

After the introduction of the Mercedes-AMG GT Roadster at the Paris Motor Show this fall, we informed you that Mercedes-Benz has a convertible conundrum, a surplus of drop-tops that seemingly threatens to self-cannibalize within the brand's ever-proliferating lineup. Benz's head of design, Gorden Wagener, who spends much of his time in Southern California, argues it's not a problem: Each convertible, in its ideal construction, would intrinsically vanquish any issues. "The bad is the enemy of the good," he said, not exactly quoting Nietzsche. Now, the three-pointed star brand has upped the top-down ante, with the unveiling this week at the Los Angeles auto show of the Mercedes-Maybach S650 Cabriolet, a vehicle so opulent, it sits in price and position atop the uber-luxury brand's current top-of-the-line offering, the $247,900 Mercedes-AMG S65 Cabriolet. View 24 Photos "Mercedes-AMG is our performance brand so it's all about performance stuff," says Wagener in a one-on-one interview on the roof of a Beverly Hills mansion just before the new car is unveiled. "Of course, Maybach has power, too, but it's the ultimate in luxury. So it's more on that side. And for me in the interior, it's the haute couture of the automobile, so we tried to up that a little more with details. And on the exterior, it's a more superb appearance up front, more chrome, more rich, and of course we tried to up that branding even more. The S-Class is the best car in the world, we consider, I always thought we could raise the Mercedes brand. And it's the same with the S convertible." Why does Mercedes-Benz need a flagship atop its flagship? Because, when climbing the mountain of automotive luxury there is always the customer who, when he or she reaches the pinnacle, wants more. A car brand, especially one with deep pockets and luxurious heritage like Mercedes, can always further gild the automotive lilies, creating a step up for those for whom the brand's motto, The Best or Nothing, is a literal life credo. "It's always our job to make it better," Wagener says. "Each little detail, the wood, the wood under cover of the cabriolet, the leathers. All the super luxury details that make a luxury car into a super luxury car. The key is to make a modern luxury design and not a traditional luxury design. There is definitely a market for traditional luxury, but we always wanted to have Mercedes, Maybach in particular, as a modern luxury car.

E.U. executive conditionally approves Daimler, BMW car-sharing deal

Wed, Nov 7 2018

BRUSSELS — The European Union's competition authority said on Wednesday it had approved the plan of German luxury carmakers Daimler and BMW to combine their car-sharing businesses, subject to conditions. Under the deal, which includes car-sharing units Car2Go and DriveNow as well as ride-hailing, parking and charging services, Daimler and BMW will each hold 50 percent stakes in a joint venture. They have offered concessions to address E.U. antitrust concerns over the deal they hope would let them better compete with U.S. rival Uber and China's Didi Chuxing. The European Commission has found the deal would raise competition concerns for free-floating car sharing services in Berlin, Cologne, Duesseldorf, Hamburg, Munich and Vienna. It said Daimler and BMW agreed to a remedy package in the six cities. "The commitments thus fully address the Commission's concerns as they will reduce the barriers to entry for competing free-floating car sharing providers," the Commission said in a statement. "Therefore the Commission concluded that the proposed transaction, as modified by the commitments, would no longer raise competition concerns. The Commission's decision is conditional upon full compliance with the commitments." Reporting by Gabriela Baczynska and Philip Blenkinsop. Related Video:

Ford and Mercedes join Renault in French emissions investigation

Thu, Jan 21 2016

The French government is investigating certain models from Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and Renault because they allegedly produce more nitrogen oxide than the country's pollution rules allow, according to Automotive News, citing a French newspaper. After VW's emissions scandal, French regulators began checking more vehicles for evidence of defeat devices and excessive real-world pollution. According to Automotive News, the Mercedes S350 allegedly showed inconsistent results across these tests, and a Ford C-Max had NOx levels five times over the limit. The Renault Captur crossover, Espace, and an unnamed utility vehicle also had results that were too high. The French testing for this investigation includes an on-road emissions check that's not part of the EU's normal evaluations, which some automakers claim is unfair. "Unofficial on-road testing has varying conditions and can produce significantly different results," a Ford of Europe spokesman told Automotive News. Renault representatives met with French officials on January 18 to explain the situation. The company later submitted a plan to recall 15,800 examples of the diesel Captur, and said it would offer a voluntary software upgrade for about 700,000 other vehicles, according to Automotive News. Representatives from Ford and Mercedes will meet with the government soon, too. Renault's stock price plunged last week after investors heard that French regulators searched three of the automaker's sites as part of the emissions investigation. The stockholders feared an environmental scandal like the one currently embroiling Volkswagen. There's one major difference – as of now, there's no evidence Renault equipped any of the polluting models with defeat devices. Related Video:
