1999 Mercedes Benz C230 SUPERCHARGED! 

THIS CAR IS BEING SOLD NO RESERVE! THE TOP BIDDER TAKES THIS CAR!

THIS CAR HAS THE RARE SPORT PACKAGE WITH LARGER RIMS AND FIRMER SUSPENSION!!

Mercedes-Benz owners that drive the company’s normally-aspirated 4-cylinder models have always been the “poor relations” when it comes to performance. Their cars, despite having all the luxury and refinement of other Mercedes, are always outpaced by V6 and V8 models. So for 1999, Mercedes-Benz has decided to give owners of its 4-cylinder C-Class sedans a boost, and one that should help them keep up with the Jones’.

Because adding a supercharger means a big power increase. Something that the entry level 4-cylinder Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan definitely needed. And in the 1999 C230 Kompressor, Kompressor being German for supercharger, the difference is immediately apparent.

But first, the numbers. Borrowed from the SLK roadster, the 2.3-liter supercharged, intercooled 4-banger makes the same 185 horsepower and 200 pound-feet of torque. But, that’s 37 more horsepower for the C230 than before, with an equally impressive 38 more pound-feet of torque! All fed through Mercedes’ latest 5-speed adaptive automatic transmission, and standard-for-1999, ASR traction control system.

Which, when put to the test, pushes this car to 60 in an impressive 7.6 seconds, and through the full 1/4 mile in 15.7 seconds at 89 miles-per-hour. Not only does that beat Mercedes’ 0-60 claims by a half second, but it’s almost as fast as the discontinued but still formidable C36 super sedan! Though it did so with noticeably more vibration and noise than the company’s normally silky smooth sixes. Shifts are firmer than in the last 5-speed C-Class that we drove, but never harsh.

This performance carries over to the street, where the new powerplant delivers significantly more power for passing, and does so with impressive fuel economy. EPA estimates are 21 city/29 highway, while we managed 24 miles per gallon in every-day driving.

But while the drivetrain sees big changes for 1999, the C230’s double-wishbone front and 5-arm multi-link rear suspension remains the same. As do the 15-inch alloy wheels, shod with 205/60R-15 tires. Larger 16-inch wheels, as well as firmer suspension calibrations, are available as part of the optional Sport Package.

The ASR light is currently on and the air conditioning is currently not working, the vehicle needs a new compressor.

Expect normal wear and tear for the year and mileage. Don't miss out; please feel free to email or call us with any questions you might have 954-319-6363. We are here to help and want you to bid with confidence. As always we welcome pre end of auction inspections, and remember that this is a used vehicle and to expect to always have to do something to your new car. Also if you would like a picture of something specific feel free to ask.

You are entering into a legal and binding contract to purchase this vehicle described above. Winning bidder MUST contact us within 24 hours of auction end, and make arrangements for FULL payment at that time.

If no contact is made within 48 hours we reserve the right to re-list the vehicle, sell it to the next high bidder, or sell it otherwise. Appropriate feedback will be left at the end of all transactions! There is a $199 dealer services fee added to all transactions.

Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipment of this vehicle within 14 days of auction end and PAYS ALL SHIPPING COSTS. All vehicles not picked up after 14 days from the close of auction will be subjected to a $20.00 per day storage fee, unless satisfactory prior arrangements are made and full payment has been received. We works with several local and national auto transport shipping companies. If you need shipping you may contact us for a listing of quality and reliable transporters. You may also locate shippers by doing a web search for “auto shippers”.

We guaranty that this unit comes with a clean and lien free title.

All vehicles are sold "AS-IS, WHERE-IS." No warranty is expressed, written or implied from the seller whatsoever; however, there may be a manufacturers’ factory warranty remaining on the vehicle. The seller shall not be responsible for the correct description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein, and makes no warranty in connection therewith. No allowance or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, imperfection, defect or damage. Any descriptions or representations are for identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have thoroughly inspected the vehicle, and to have satisfied himself as to the condition and value of this vehicle and to bid based upon that judgment solely.

Pre-sale inspections are not only welcome, but are recommended and encouraged. We will make every available effort to accommodate a time for either you or a certified mechanic of your choice to inspect this vehicle at our location. Please have all inspections done prior to bidding. Inspections companies are listed on our page and easily found on the web as well as within eBay. The seller shall and will make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects associated with this vehicle at the buyer's request prior to the close of sale. Seller assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any oral statements about the vehicle. Please remember the age of the unit that you are purchasing and expect to spend for repairs accordingly.

If you have any questions about this vehicle - please ASK. Never assume anything not listed is included.

All used cars including this one may have dings, nicks and chips, scratches and any other marks that are associated with use consistent with the age and mileage of the vehicle.

Classic cars will show difference in their condition based on whether original or restored expect normal wear and tear. Most cars are sold at wholesale prices, many, way below book prices. Therefore, there is minimum profit, especially on "no reserve" auctions. As such, we cannot afford to warranty the vehicle as if you had purchased it for full list price.

We will not be responsible for these minor accessories. These items are all replaceable at any local Factory Dealer or here on eBay for a few dollars.

ONLY BID WHAT YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY. IF A RESERVE IS PLACED AND NOT MET, WE MAY CONTACT THE NEXT HIGHEST BIDDER TO OFFER A SECOND CHANCE OPTION.

2020 Colorado Winter Driver's Notes | Behind the Wheel S02 // E12

Mon, Apr 6 2020

2020 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 I’ve had bad luck with SUVs this winter. Especially performance ones. First, I got a 2019 Range Rover Sport SVR delivered on summers right as two feet of snow fell, rendering it undriveable. Then, coronavirus cancelled Easter Jeep Safari as well as my trip out to Moab in the 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Diesel. Thankfully, when this 469 horsepower luxury mall crawler was dropped off, the sun shone down and the snow (mostly) held off.  The first thing that I noticed was there were a few blank buttons throughout the cabin, something that you may see in an entry model vehicle, but IÂ’m not accustomed to seeing in an AMG. Not a great look for a vehicle with an $80,000 price tag. Thankfully that was where the disappointment ended. As soon as you press the start button, the engine fires up and the exhaust note is incredible. Hopping on the highway ramp near my house, I floored it, and the biturbo V8 had me pressed back into the driver's seat, and this wasnÂ’t even the S version that our staff drove last year. Inside and out, the GLC 63 was everything youÂ’d expect from Mercedes. The interior was immaculate, and while the infotainment wheel and touch pad may take some getting used to for someone who isnÂ’t familiar, by now I have it down so that I can use it without looking. And while the V8 left me smiling ear to ear, I was most impressed by the amount of useable interior space there is. I happened to be moving at the time of this review and while all of my large furniture was shoved into the back of a moving van, I was able to fit almost everything else in the back of the GLC. 2019 and 2020 Fiat 500X Trekking ItÂ’s hard to say goodbye to an AMG and then turn around and be excited when a Fiat 500X pulls in your driveway (I know, I know, automotive journalist problems). That being said, when the red Fiat pulled up, I found myself admiring it. I am very familiar with the 500X. Back in 2016 Autoblog had one for a year as our long term test vehicle. I drove that car everywhere, multiple trips up north in Michigan, and even tracked it at Gingerman Raceway for a few laps before the brakes started smoking.  The 2019 model I had in my driveway and the 2020 model I drove in the snow up in the mountains feel very similar to that car. The interior is stylish and surprisingly roomy. The greenhouse is airy.

Mercedes may be working on a new electric car dubbed 'Ecoluxe'

Fri, Dec 26 2014

Automobile has a lengthy piece this month on how the four German mass-market luxury manufacturers each plan to go after Tesla with their own electric vehicles. It was written by Georg Kacher, the magazine's European bureau chief, and the English version came a month after he wrote the German-language original for Autobild. Tesla isn't exactly a threat to the Germans, but, according to the report, the Model S is planting the right kinds of seeds in niches that are important to the luxury players. The thinking is that - in addition to needed electric vehicles anyway for stricter US regulations - it's better to start designing the machinery now. The article posited Porsche's attack would rest on the coming Panamera platform, but a big hurdle would be battery placement. Unable to find one large space for a lithium-ion pack, engineers would instead put batteries everywhere they could, for a supposed tally of some "108 battery pouches" throughout the body. A few days after the Automobile piece, however, Porsche publicly said it had no intention of challenging the Model S, because the enthusiastic driving the brand is known for doesn't jive with useful range. In Kacher's retelling, Mercedes' plans are even more ambitious, supposedly taking aim at the Model S and the coming Model X. It would do this with an investment in excess of $2 billion in a program called "Ecoluxe" – Mercedes has no brand division akin to BMW's i and Audi's e-tron. The new brand would create a four-strong family of bespoke electric vehicles: a smaller platform with a wheelbase around 106 inches and a larger one with a wheelbase around 118 inches. In addition, the range would have "provisions for rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and rear-wheel steering." The numbers are impressive: seating for seven in the larger vehicles, both longer than 16 feet, front and rear storage areas, ratings of up to 610 horsepower and production capacity of 80,000 units per year. When would we see such creatures? Perhaps as soon as 2019. We do know that if Tesla can knock the Model X over the outfield fence, automakers are going to have to do something. We don't know what the chances are that Ecoluxe is Mercedes' first move - but such a plan could help explain the weird Mercedes concept spied in October.

Weekly Recap: Autonomous driving goes commercial in Nevada

Sat, May 9 2015

Nevada granted Daimler Trucks North America the first license to run an autonomous commercial vehicle on public roads in the United States Tuesday, marking another milestone in the technology's rapid advancement. Gov. Brian Sandoval and Daimler truck chief Wolfgang Bernhard promptly used the license to lap Highway 15 near Las Vegas in a newly revealed Freightliner Inspiration Truck. It was a clear signal that autonomous driving is big-rig reality, though it's still a long way from widespread use. Nevada certified two of Daimler's Freightliner Inspiration Trucks, which use the company's Highway Pilot system with a stereo camera, radar, and lane-keeping collision-prevention features to regulate the brakes and steering. The radar component has a long-range sensor that can cover 820 feet at an 18-degree angle and a shorter-range unit that stretches 230 feet at a 130-degree angle. The Inspiration trucks are based on the existing Freightliner Cascadia Evolution model used on US roads. In addition to the autonomous technologies, it also has futuristic design cues, including blue lighting in the front and a new hood and grille. While there are only two Freightliner Inspiration trucks in existence, Daimler expects to bring the Highway Pilot system into mass-produced big rigs by 2025, in time to capitalize on the market's predicted growth. The German truckmaker predicts the global hauling market will triple by 2050, and the United States will be a key part of that growth. Trucks carry 69.1 percent the nation's domestic freight tonnage and hauled 9.7 billion tons of freight in 2013, according to the American Trucking Association. Daimler expects autonomous driving to augment this growth, and perhaps evolve the role of the truck driver. Still, the company points out autonomous tech is not meant to replace drivers, but to assist them and relieve fatigue and monotony on long hauls. The driver has to stay in control for passing, in city traffic, and when hooking up the trailer. The company said autonomous driving also offers the potential for improved fuel economy – tests showed a five-percent gain – and lower maintenance costs. Daimler also said the technology could reduce congestion on the road. Much of this is attributable to the constant flow of traffic, which is aided by autonomous driving. While the benefits are becoming increasingly apparent, autonomous technology is still met with skepticism.
