Up for auction is my 2001 Mercedes Benz CLK-430 AMG Convertible. I traded this car to some good friends of mine for a BMW 750il sport about 4 months ago.  They are seniors and this was the wife's car for nice days.  Unfortunately, her mobility has been compromised over the years and she was no longer able to get in and out of this car due to it being so low.  They really liked my BMW and asked if I would trade.. So as a favor I said yes.... I miss my BMW. Anyway, I don't need this car so here it is for sale.  

 

The car has a salvage title due to marginal front and rear damage.. My friends purchased the car from a friend of theirs who was the original owner.  It was involved in a slow speed accident up in Napa, California.  It was pushed from the rear into the car in front of it at a signal.  I viewed the car when it was brought down here and it was fully functional and really only had minor bumper damage and the hood was bent around the grill area.  They had the rear bumper and the hood replaced.  I do know that the front bumper was repaired as it wasn't the bad.  I really am not sure why it was salvaged.. it was a simple repair and really didn't cost much.  The car was put on a laser frame machine and checked for any damage before it was repaired and it was deemed that there was no damage or movement at all to the body.  All of the door gaps are factory.  Everything including the top works and fits perfect and required NO repair due to it's minor accident.  That will tell you that the damage was marginal.. 

 

The car is the factory black out AMG sport edition.  (Actually a factory black metallic.  It "appears" black, but is actually a deep dark charcoal grey...a rare color).  It does have many unique Mercedes options as you can see in the pictures including the rare, upgraded factory Bose stereo with GPS and CD changer in the trunk. Also has the adaptive stability control for far better handling than a standard CLK. Comes with rear factory deluxe wind screen package with complete rear seat screens and a rare set of factory rubber heavy duty Mercedes all weather CLK floor mats. Everything works properly.  Ice cold A/C.  I know that the climate control panel was just professionally replaced with a rebuilt unit.  Per my friend, it recently underwent full service including:

 

1. Spark plugs

2. Valve cover and breather gaskets/seals

3. New radiator about 6 months ago with cooling system flush and factory Mercedes coolant installed.

4. New belt and tensioner

5. New water pump and thermostat at time of radiator

6. oil and filter within the last 500 miles

7. Transmission flush and service with factory Mercedes filter and fluid.

8. New brakes on all 4 corners with factory pads 300 miles ago.

9. Brand new complete set of Continental Extreme Contact Directional tires- all 4 with 500 miles

10.New air filters

11.New cabin filter

12.New top of the line Interstate battery made specifically for these cars.

 

I am sure there is more, but this is all I can remember from my conversation with my friend.  They are very particular and always have their cars repaired and serviced with factory parts and fluid.  Take a look at the pictures.. you can see it is a very clean car as it has been garaged as long as my friends have had it and I believe it was garaged in Napa.. It has always been owned by seniors, so it has never been abused, raced, or neglected. It has really only been spoiled.  I think that is why my friends decided to buy it from their friend and have it repaired. Drives straight, quiet, and solid. 

 

HAS THE RARE EUROPEAN BLUE GLASS OPTION!!

 

If you are looking for a beautiful Mercedes convertible and the rare AMG model, then this is it.  Absolutely clean chassis and suspension. No  leaks ever! Yes it has a salvage title, but only due to a lazy insurance rep. Didn't have any major damage and you can tell when you see and drive the car! I am selling the car as I simply have no use for it.  I only traded them for my absolutely beautiful 750il sport "Die another Day" model in the rarest of all optional colors (Did I mention that I miss my BMW?) as a favor as they are good friends of mine and were fearful of having strangers over to their house to see the car if they sold it themselves, being seniors. Look at the pictures, ask any questions you can think of, and make an offer.  It is being sold under value due to the technicality  of the salvage title.  A rare change to get a great price on a very rare Mercedes Cabriolet.. Ver nice, used car that has been cared for and in great condition.. Draws admires wherever you drive her... she just glows. Current title and registration in my name and comes with a current california emissions/smog test. Passed perfectly clean!

Hybrids to slowly replace diesels at Mercedes

Mon, Sep 21 2015

German automakers have had some success bringing diesel-powered vehicles in America in recent years, but that may not last much longer. A product planner from Mercedes-Benz we spoke to in Austria apparently believes hybrid setups may be more favorable in the long run, and electrified hybrids will eventually replace oil burners. That's why most every concept car we've seen in the last few years features some sort of hybrid or plug-in hybrid setup while there have been very few diesels. "Yes, diesel is technically complex, and very expensive. The additives to reduce particulate matter are very costly. You'll see more hybrids to meet the changing regulations," according to our source. We've seen this exact scenario play out with Mazda, which has struggled to bring its 2.2-liter diesel engine to America, citing the costly process to reduce emissions in order to meet California-level standards while still maintaining suitable performance for the US market. It's certainly interesting that this news comes hot on the heels of revelations that VW, the automaker that offers the most diesel-powered models in the US, was found in violation of emissions rules on its popular 2.0-liter TDI engine. New Mercedes GLE Will Have An Active Chassis Mercedes has launched an all-out product offensive in the last two years, but the product planning think tanks in Stuttgart have a few surprises in store, too. While Benz has just launched its new GLE SUV family, GLE product planners are already hard at work on the next-generation – yes, a good 5-6 years away – and tell us it will evolve to boast new chassis technology, "something that doesn't exist today." The next-GLE is codenamed 167 – the previous ML (now replaced by the GLE) was internally referred to as 166 – and the GLE planner we recently talked to calls the platform an "active chassis." He further alluded that the next version could be electrified. Currently, the only aspect of the GLE's chassis that is 'active' today are the hydraulic pumps on the roll bars, he said. Many of Mercedes' models can already be had with an adaptive air suspension, multiple selectable driving modes, and other features that were rare or nonexistent just a couple generations ago. One More Compact Crossover On The Way The planner said we can also at least one more all-new, forthcoming compact crossover to be built on the GLA platform. In addition to the GLA, that architecture is currently shared by the A-Class, B-Class, and CLA-Class models.
