Mercedes Benz Slk 320 Renntech on 2040-cars
United States
|
You are viewing a beautiful 2001 Mercedes Benz SLK 320. This car has been in our family since purchased new in 2000. This is a one owner car! It is extremely rare as it was one of only two spec'd in this manner on the East coast when purchased new. The color combination, sport pkg and 6 speed manual combination is what makes it so unique. Over $ 5,000 in upgrades have been added to this car, including:
Renntech Carbon Fiber Air Intake Renntech ECU tune Renntech Catback Exhaust Upgraded 18 inch Brabus Style Monoblock Wheels Brembo Rotors Red Brake Caliper Paint Professionally Applied The car puts out about 240 hp and 250 tq. It is still quick by today's standards and sounds incredible. Factory Options: AMG Sport Package 6 Disc Cd Changer Condition: The car is mechanically fantastic. The engine pulls hard and runs perfect, the clutch still feels the same as it did new, and the brakes are very strong. The exterior paint is smooth and in excellent condition with your typical small stone chips that are barely noticeable. The interior has normal wear and tear for a car of this age, but it still looks stunning in the two-tone charcoal/crimson combination. The AC, heat, radio and CD changer all work perfectly. I believe in being an honest seller, so I will summarize what the car needs. The convertible roof currently does not work. Luckily, these tops are not as expensive to repair as the old SL500s . A reputable local shop diagnosed that the car needs a new electrical pump/actuator and estimated the cost at about $1,500. Second, the car will show a check engine light about once a month for a day or so. It has been diagnosed as a mass airflow sensor. Cost to replace is about $400. For example, I have been driving the car for the past month, and the check engine light came on only once and then turned off again on the same day. There is no check engine light on as of now. Third, there is a small crack in the front drivers side wheel. It is completely cosmetic and has been there for over 30k miles with no problems to driveability. The car was involved in two very MINOR fender benders (not my fault, and needless to say I was not pleased) about 10 and 13 years ago, respectively. But as you can see from the photos, it was expertly repaired by the best body shop in town and it looks like new and drives perfectly. Again, the car had ZERO driveability issues following the repairs and has required nothing but regular servicing since. Please feel free to contact me to discuss. I envision the next owner of this car as someone who knows they're getting a very rare and special SLK, but also understands that it will take a small investment to repair the items that I have mentioned above. The next owner will also get the original 17 inch AMG wheels ( they have some curb rash, but I would be willing to pay to repair them if I receive an offer close to Buy It Now), the original exhaust and air box. Basically, the car can be returned to stock if desired. I have owned this car for 14 years and maintained it meticulously both cosmetically and with regard to regular servicing. It saddens me to sell it because it has been such a pleasure to own, but it deserves a loving new home for Christmas! Thanks for looking and please do not hesitate to contact me with questions or to discuss an offer. Since I am also advertising the car locally, please be aware that I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. |

Mercedes Concept GLA45 AMG is ready to run
Wed, 20 Nov 2013This is the Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA45 AMG, and what we mean by that is, "This is the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG." Mercedes has just unveiled the liveried 'concept' at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, giving potential customers a very good look at the newest lunatic in the AMG asylum - a 355-horsepower, 332-pound-foot crossover that uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in the CLA45 AMG and Europe's A45 AMG.
Joined with a seven-speed, AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission and an AMG Performance 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, Mercedes promises a sub-five-second run to 60 miles per hour. That's not just quick for a crossover, that's quick full stop.
That sleek, lifted body has also been tweaked by the minds at AMG's Affalterbach facility. A new rear spoiler, side sills and front clip are the primary aerodynamic tweaks. Aesthetically, AMG has fitted the requisite "Turbo" badges, gloss-black accents (including exhaust tips and roof rails) and a set of 21-inch, AMG-spec alloy wheels to round out the overall package. Based on the spy shots we've seen, expect slightly toned down aerodynamics when the GLA45 AMG arrives in showrooms.
In case you forgot, the Dubai Police supercar fleet is the coolest
Tue, Feb 10 2015Ever wonder why the Dubai Police have a fleet of vehicles worth millions and millions and millions of dollars? Why it has a Bugatti Veyron and a Bentley Continental and a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG with sirens and light bars? Well, here's the reason. This video shows the fleet on display on the Emirate's roads and highways, while also reaching out to the people the police are meant to protect. It's an impressive display of machinery, to be sure. Alongside the Bentley, Bugatti and Mercedes, we spy a Ferrari FF, a Brabus G-Wagen, a BMW M6, a Nissan GT-R, an Audi R8 and a McLaren MP4-12C (although the latest Dubai Police car, the Lexus RC F, is absent). The video even has a very cinematic look and feel to it, which works well with the night scenes and the blues-and-twos of the exotics cruisers.

Zetsche's CEO tenure extended through 2016 at Daimler
Sun, 24 Feb 2013There appear to be two takes on Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche having his contract extended for three more years, to 2016. A report in The Detroit News quotes the chairman of Daimler's supervisory board, Manfred Bischoff, talking up the stability at the top, "With today's extensions of the contracts of Dieter Zetsche and Thomas Weber, we are maintaining the important continuity at the top executive level." Bischoff also stated that that Zetsche has a plan to "further enhance Daimler's overall performance."
Over at Reuters, though, the three-year extension was seen as a lack of complete confidence in Zetsche's plans, since his contract was supposedly meant to be extended by five years. A spokesman said the board decided to extend executive contracts by only three years if the person was 60 or would turn 60 during the contract, but that was news to observers. Zetsche wants to make Mercedes-Benz the top selling luxury manufacturer globally by 2020, but has fallen to third place behind Audi and BMW. It hasn't held the top spot 2005, and investors judged it valued at half that of BMW at the end of 2012 once Daimler's truck business was subtracted.
Analysts cites the fact that Daimler stock hasn't bested its rivals but twice in twelve years, and that the company revised its profit target downward last year by nearly one billion euros, warning of stagnant earnings this year and will miss its original margin target for 2013.
