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

5)      Bluetooth integrated system

6)      Speed-sensitive power steering

7)      7-Speed automatic transmission with manual shifting option

1)      3.5 liter V-6 engine

3)      Black Leather seats

6)      Power locks

Winner is in charge of all shipping arrangements, I will assist in anyway possible.

I will do my best to answer your questions promptly.  Happy bidding, Merry Christmas, and, God bless you

Europe getting special Mercedes-Benz CLA Edition 1

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

Last week when we saw the leaked ordering guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, one particular image caught our eye showing the interior of the new sedan with a neon yellow stripe on the seats and yellow stitching throughout the cabin. As it turns out, this will be part of a limited-edition model called the Edition 1 about which Mercedes-Benz just released some information.
Usually, automakers wait until later in a vehicle's life to introduce special models like this, but the Edition 1 will be available right out of the gate for the first 12 months the CLA-Class is on sale. The 2014 CLA-Class Edition 1 includes the more aggressive Sport package adding AMG-style fascias and wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights and a lowered suspension; it will be offered only in five colors - unfortunately, Northern Lights Purple is not one of them. In addition to the bright yellow cabin accents, the Edition 1 will get sport seats wrapped in leather and microfiber, a sporty, flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather and real aluminum trim on the instrument panel.
With no mention of the US, we're only left to imagine that this car will not be arriving on our shores, but customers in Europe will definitely be able to enjoy the mean styling and funky interior with prices ranging from 35,402 euros up to 43,940 euros.

When Android Automotive goes in the dash, Google wins — and automakers lose data

Tue, May 22 2018

You've gotta hand it to Google for the way the Silicon Valley tech giant has made indelible inroads into the car on multiple fronts. The most obvious is with its pioneering self-driving car technology that's caused car companies to get their act together on autonomous vehicles — and also collaborate with Google. Google has more directly extended its influence and data-mining capabilities into the car with its Android Auto smartphone-projection platform that most major automakers have adopted along with Apple's CarPlay. And now it's preparing to dig even deeper into dashboards by deploying its open-source operating system, Android Automotive, beginning with Audi and Volvo. Volvo recently announced that its next-generation Sensus infotainment system will run Android Automotive as an OS and include Google's Play Store for cloud-based content, Maps for navigation and Google Assistant for voice recognition, which can even command a car's climate control. By embedding Google in the dash, Volvo says owners will get an improved connected experience. "Bringing Google services into Volvo cars will accelerate innovation in connectivity and boost our development in applications and connected services," Volvo senior vice president of R&D Henrik Green said in a statement. "Soon, Volvo drivers will have direct access to thousands of in-car apps that make daily life easier and the connected in-car experience more enjoyable." Having Android Automotive onboard could benefit drivers — and provide a big win for Google, since it opens a deep and lucrative new data-mining vein for the company. But it's a wave of a white flag for car companies when it comes to delivering their own cloud-based content and services. It also represents a massive data giveaway and, for Audi, a reversal of earlier reservations about letting Google get too much access to car data. Not long after Android Auto and Apple CarPlay were introduced in 2014 and most automakers eagerly embraced the technologies, several German automakers second-guessed their decision when they realized what was at stake: data. At a conference in Berlin in 2015, Audi CEO Rupert Stadler said car owners "want to be in control of their data, and not subject to monitoring." A few months earlier, Stadler stated that "the data that we collect is our data and not Google's.

2016 Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix recap: another wild show on and off track

Mon, Apr 18 2016

Normally we use this space to provide a lengthy recap of the weekend's Formula 1 race, but we're going to try something different since most folks reading this know what happened at the Shanghai International Circuit on Sunday. Instead, we'll alight on what we saw as the big issues in and around the race. Let us know what you think in Comments. Proper qualifying is back. Thank goodness. It only took a month of embarrassment to fix it. And so is passing! For the third race in a row, big performance improvements at the ten teams behind Mercedes-AMG Petronas and a wider tire selection at this race graced us with opening stints filled with dicing cars. Seeing the McLarens on screen doesn't make us cringe. Manor doesn't only make the global feed when it's being lapped. We've been complaining about parade races for so long that we forgot excitement was possible without rain or wholesale regulation changes. Yes, Mercedes is still the king of the jungle, but there are some other proper midfield beasts on the hunt, too. Malfunctions up and down the grid did help the show in Shanghai, like Lewis Hamilton suffering perpetual troubles, Nico Hulkenberg's runaway front wheel which red-flagged Q2, and Sebastian Vettel's and Kimi Raikkonen's flubbed hot laps in Q3 that let Daniel Ricciardo slip by into second on the grid. Come race day things went all Grand Theft Auto at Turn 1 on the opening lap, sending some of the best cars to the pits. Then came Ricciardo's puncture while leading, then came the Safety Car – all by Lap 5. Nico Rosberg got 38 seconds of airtime on the way to victory – at the start and the finish, and that happened to be his margin of victory, too – otherwise he was a ghost. Everyone else was struggling and juggling. Rosberg's win at the Bahrain Grand Prix put the German at five consecutive victories going back to last year's Mexican Grand Prix. The history books show that any driver who's won five straight contests has gone on to win the championship. With his triumph in China, the German has won the season's first three races, the history books again show that the other nine drivers who've pulled that off have gone on to win the championship. Rosberg, 36 points ahead of his teammate in the standings, is having none of it. He said of the other victors, "But they didn't have Lewis Hamilton as their team-mate." Perhaps Mercedes was right not to make an engine deal with Red Bull last season.
