2006 Mercedes SLK 350 – Hardtop “Convertible” No accidents, clean Carfax. 

Enjoy the security of a hard top car with the fun of a convertible, all in less than 30 seconds with the press of a button.  Very clever German engineering makes this possible and somehow they also fit in a 17 gallon fuel tank, space saver spare and tool kit, and left over trunk space even with the top retracted!

This car has the optional air scarf system which in my opinion is the greatest option ever offered.  Designed to extend the top-down driving season, it also is very welcome on cool mornings.  Within five seconds, warm air blows on the back of your neck.  There is nothing like it!

The condition of this car belies the mileage.  It has always been well taken care of and from what I can tell, by the previous owners as well.   It has always been garaged while in possession.  It is a great car and has been a commuter car for two years thus the mileage which is virtually all highway.  The mileage breaks out to around 14,000 per year - that's nothing for a high quality car like a Mercedes. 

It is great looking from any angle and a lot of fun to drive.  The design was inspired by Formula 1 Race Cars.

I am selling this for a relative.  I am offering it with Buy It Now at the low end of comparable NADA trade in value adjusting for mileage and options.  It is too nice to just trade in so I am offering it here first.  I can't include the link due to ebay rules, but you can check NADA Guides online and load in the information.

This Mercedes is in excellent overall condition.   Starts and runs with no issues; just passed NJ State inspection.  Interior is like new.  Seats are perfect with barely even a scuff on the leather. Exterior paint shines well although there is a fair number of paint chips on the front especially on the lower bumper cover from highway driving.  The headlight lenses are crystal clear.  Rims are nearly perfect.   Tires are matched Continental DWS (dry wet snow) all season with at least 50% left.  Because of the spare, this car uses non-run flat tires which provide a better ride and are half the price of run flats. 

The car has been well maintained.  Minor maintenance was recently performed including fresh synthetic oil and filter, new Bosch premium battery, and new serpentine belt and idler pulley.  The car has been well maintained over the years with plenty of engine oil changes, transmission fluid and filter change, new spark plugs, air filters, cabin filters, etc.  The car is ready to go.

This sale includes the original manuals, first aid kit, wind buffeting screen that mounts behind the seats, and both keys.  Also includes the original space saving spare and complete tool kit including the Mercedes air pump for inflating the spare tire.

This Mercedes SLK is FULLY loaded with virtually every option including:

1)      Premium package – Homelink garage door opener, rain sensor wipers, automatic climate control, remote control with panic switch, special interior lighting.

2)      Lighting package – Bi-Xenon headlamps, headlamp cleaning sprayers, cornering illumination

3)      Heating package – Left and Right seat heaters, air scarf system

4)      Entertainment System with Navigation – Optional Satellite module, Premium Harmon Kardon sound, Ipod Aux connector, steering wheel controls

Geely chairman is now the single biggest investor in Daimler

Fri, Feb 23 2018

Li Shufu, the chairman and main owner of Chinese carmaker Geely, has built a stake of 9.69 percent in Daimler AG, the German carmaker said in a regulatory filing on Friday. The stake, worth nearly $9 billion at the current valuation for Daimler shares, makes Li the biggest single shareholder in the maker of Mercedes-Benz cars, trucks and vans headquartered in the German city of Stuttgart. A Daimler spokesman called the stake purchase a private investment by Li. "We are delighted, with Li Shufu, to have won over another long-term investor who is convinced of Daimler's innovative prowess, strategy and future potential," the spokesman said in response to a request for comment. "Daimler knows and respects Li Shufu as a Chinese entrepreneur of particular competence and forward thinking." Li's stake purchase makes him the top shareholder in Daimler ahead of the Kuwait Investment Authority, which owned 6.8 percent as of Sept. 30, according to Thomson Reuters data. Earlier this month, the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag reported that the Chinese industry giant was seeking to become Daimler's biggest shareholder, likely exceeding the 6.8-percent stake of the Kuwait Investment Authority. The paper said Daimler had reportedly turned down Geely's $4.5 billion offer for a 5-percent stake via a discounted share placement, saying that Geely could buy shares in the open market. Institutional investors currently own 70.7 percent of Daimler, and the company already has strong ties to Chinese automakers BAIC and BYD. Bild am Sonntag said the move was intended as a strategic alliance against Apple, Google and Amazon on autonomous and connected cars. And Reuters reported that Daimler wants to have bespoke "robo taxis" on the road quicker than Google's Waymo, and views Geely as a strong partner for that. Geely conversely is interested in Daimler's electric car battery technology, and sources quoted by the German paper say there are plans to establish joint electric car manufacturing in Wuhan, China, to meet China's smog-reducing quotas. Geely is developing the Lynk & Co. brand of electric and hybrid cars. Geely owns Volvo, which has enjoyed a renaissance under the arrangement, as well as the maker of London's black cabs. In December, it bought a stake in AB Volvo, the maker of Volvo trucks.

European automakers gear up for Brazilian production

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

Brazil is the place to be, apparently. Toyota has been investing in the South American country, as has BMW, which announced a $261 million investment in October 2012, on the heels of an Audi factory announcement in San José Chiapa. The high-end immigration is only set to continue, as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar-Land Rover have both announced plans to set up manufacturing operations there.
Mercedes is the big news here, as its new facility will see the German manufacturer invest 170-million euros for production of its next-generation C-Class and upcoming GLA-Class. "Brazil is an important future market. With our local production we accept the challenge and take on the competition," noted Andreas Renschler, Management Board member for Production and Procurement at Mercedes-Benz Cars and Mercedes-Benz Vans. Production is expected to begin by 2016.
Jaguar-Land Rover, meanwhile, isn't so concrete in its plans. The news of its investment in South America comes from a job posting for a plant quality manager in Brazil that was picked up by the UK's AutoCar. "Portuguese language skills will be definite advantage" for interested candidates, according to the job listing. The want ad follows on the heels of remarks by Jaguar Land Rover's Dr. Ralph Speth, who said there are "very intensive discussions" with Brazil's government. Unlike Mercedes, there's no mention of which vehicles will be produced in South America, although AutoCar thinks the Freelander, sold in the US as the LR2, is a leading contender.

BMW negotiates Daimler alliance, buys out car-service partner Sixt

Mon, Jan 29 2018

Sixt sells its stake in DriveNow car-sharing to BMW BMW in talks with Daimler to combine car-sharing Combining car-sharing business to aid robotaxi plans FRANKFURT — Germany's BMW has bought out partner Sixt from their joint venture DriveNow, paving the way for a broader car-sharing and driverless taxi alliance with Daimler to compete against Uber and Lyft. Car rental company Sixt said on Monday it would generate an extraordinary pre-tax profit of about 200 million euros ($248 million) in 2018 from the sale of the DriveNow stake to BMW for 209 million euros. "With DriveNow as a wholly-owned subsidiary, we have all options for continued strategic development of our services," said Peter Schwarzenbauer, BMW's board member for Digital Business Innovation. "Our experience with mobility services supports our development of future autonomous, electrified and connected fleets," he said, adding that BMW aims to have 100 million customers for "premium mobility services" by 2025. The Sixt deal comes as BMW moves closer to a deal to combine its car-sharing services with Daimler's Car2Go, a person familiar with the discussions told Reuters last week. The German carmakers want to build a joint business that includes car sharing, ride-hailing, electric vehicle charging, and digital parking services, a senior executive at one of the companies said on Monday. Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler and BMW declined comment on the status of potential talks on their car-sharing business. "This is speculation, we do not comment," BMW said. The senior executive, who declined to be named because the plan is not public, said: "This will create an ecosystem which can also be used for managing robotaxi (driverless taxi) fleets." BMW would contribute its ParkNow and ChargeNow businesses to the common company, the executive said, adding that there were still differences of opinion over the valuation of Car2Go. The market for ride-hailing services currently makes up around 33 percent of the global taxi market, and could grow eightfold to $285 billion by 2030, once autonomous robotaxis are in operation, Goldman Sachs said in a recent research note. BMW and Daimler are now working on developing autonomous cars, vehicles which could enable them to up-end the market for taxi and ride-hailing services.
