2001 Mercedes-benz Clk430 Base Convertible 2-door 4.3l on 2040-cars
Henderson, Nevada, United States

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! |

VW joins Daimler's protest of new A/C refrigerant as EU deadline for compliance passes
Sun, 06 Jan 2013The case of Dupont and Honeywell's refrigerant R-1234yf is doing the exact opposite of keeping things cool. The two chemical companies have spent years and hundreds of millions of dollars developing R-1234yf to replace R-134a, the new refrigerant shown to be 99.7-percent kinder to the environment than the one it is meant to succeed. Part of that development has been years of testing by governments, outside safety agencies and automakers to approve the chemical for use in cars. It passed the protocols necessary for the European Union to declare that new and significantly revised cars from 2013 onward needed to use R-1234yf, and mandated that every car as of 2017 must use it.
Enter Daimler AG. The automaker created a head-on collision test with a B-Class at their Sindelfingen test track that would lead to the pressurized refrigerant being sprayed on the engine. The result in 20 out of 20 test was that the refrigerant burst into flames as soon as it hit the hot engine, while Daimler says that R-134a does not catch fire in the same test. Another unexpected result of the R-1234yf test was the release of hydrogen flouride, a chemical far more deadly to humans than hydrogen cyanide, emitted in such amounts that it that turned the windshield white as it began to eat into the glass.
Said a Daimler engineer in a Reuters piece, "It was scarcely believable. The most complicated lab tests conducted using the most sensitive measuring instruments around found nothing and all we do is drive a car around a couple of times, open a tiny hole in the refrigerant line and the next thing you know the car is on fire." So Daimler said it wouldn't use the refrigerant, and it recalled the cars it had already shipped with R-1234yf.
Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept crossover leaked ahead of Shanghai debut
Wed, 17 Apr 2013With just a few days left before the start of the Shanghai Motor Show, images of the Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept compact crossover have emerged online. The little 'ute is based on the small A-Class hatchback, and though it shares an identical wheelbase, is larger in every other dimension.
Looking like a rough-and-tumble five-door hatchback on the tippy toes of its 20-inch wheels, the GLA is most certainly destined for production in a toned down form that will borrow many bits and pieces from other cars based on this platform like the aforementioned A-Class and the CLA-Class sedan. Carscoop reports that the production version of the GLA will be revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September of this year, with sales to the public starting in 2014.
Since it's based on the A-Class, we expect that the production GLA-Class will be powered by your choice of Mercedes' 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine and a diesel or two, and will offer transmissions that include the company's seven-speed DCT and perhaps a six-speed manual (at least in Europe). If the GLA follows the same path as the two cars before it, expect a GLA45 AMG producing over 300 horsepower, as well. As for what powers the GLA Concept, that just might remain a mystery until the vehicle is officially revealed in China.
Russia gives its Olympic medalists new Mercedes
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Russian medalists at the recently concluded Sochi Winter Olympics are being rewarded quite handsomely for their service to the Motherland. In addition to the $120,000 being handed out for each gold medal, the $76,000 being awarded for slivers and $52,000 given to bronze winners, now word has come out that each of Russia's medalists will be gifted a new Mercedes-Benz.
As with the prize amounts, the type of Mercedes offered was based on what sort of medal was won. Gold medalists got a new GL-Class, silver medalists were given an ML and bronze medalists were treated to a GLK. As prices for Mercedes are higher in Russia, the cheapest model, the GLK, was the equivalent of $59,500, according to The Moscow Times. The cars were handed out by Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, pictured above with figure skating medalist Julia Lipnitskaia.
"I was a bit shocked at the car I was given," Anton Shipulin, a member of the gold-medal biathlon relay team, told RIA-Novosti. "Of course I knew what kind of model it would be, but I didn't totally believe it." For athletes not old enough to drive, like 15-year-old Lipnitskaia, their Mercedes will come complete with a driver.
