Your bidding on a very low mileage, clean Mercedes-Benz. Here is the story behind this car. I'm currently the second owner of this vehicle. The first person lived in New Jersey and leased it for three years and put approx. 10,000 miles on the car. In 2010 the car was involved in an accident that required the front quarter panel, bumper, and I believe the hood, to be replaced. The car was repaired with MB parts and was repaired very well. There are no signs that this car was ever in an accident. It runs perfectly with no squeaks or rattles. Now for the frame/structural issue listed on Carfax. Mercedes ran this car through the auction at which time the auction "reported" there was structural/frame damage. Before I purchased the car I had it inspected to see the extent of the damage. The inspection revealed that there wasn't any structural damage, but since it was reported that way Carfax can not remove that comment from their report. I felt comfortable with the car and it drove perfectly so I bought it. I've driven it for two years without a single mechanical issue. The only service that has been performed has been the annual maintenance items (performed at MB Dealer) and they updated a module in the radio for the MBRACE system. I put new Michelin tires on at 15,000 miles primarily because I didn't like the Continentals that came as OEM tires. The Michelin's are a much better riding tire. As I was preparing to sell the vehicle I didn't want to mislead anyone about the structure of this car so I had it inspected for a second time at a local auto repair center here in Arkansas. They also confirmed that there isn't any structural damage to this car. (I've attached a copy of their report along with the pictures) I've tried to contact Carfax to get this issue resolved, but there isn't anything they can do. So even though I have much respect for Carfax, I realize they can't inspect each car and if there is an issue reported in error they still have to include it on the report. That's the whole story behind the car. Since the car has this "record" I realize that I can't sell it for what it really should go for. I bought it at a discounted rate and I'm willing to sell it for a discounted rate as well. I'm also willing to buy the car back within one week if the buyer were to uncover any structural damage that existed prior to the sale. (Shipping would be the buyers responsibility) This CLK 550 had an MSRP over $75,000 new. It has every option available including the power trunk, A/C Seats, Windscreen, Nav, Permium 2 Pkg, and Bluetooth. I'm only asking $25,900 and will listen to any reasonable offer. If you have any concerns or questions please feel free to give me a call. This is an amazing car for the money. If you always wanted to own a Mercedes here is your chance without breaking the bank.

Thanks for looking,

Carlsson turns Mercedes-Benz SLK into 610-HP hill-climb clawer

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

Carlsson's race-tuned versions of the Mercedes-Benz SLK have been taking checkered flags for years, and we won't be surprised if its SLK 340 hill climber fares any different. Developed by multiple German and Swiss hill climb champion Reto Meisel, the carbon-bodied SLK 340 with lightweight brakes and a closed underbody weighs 1,716 pounds. Propelling that tiny bit of weight is a 3.4-liter V8 from Judd with 610 horsepower, and it rolls on 18-inch wheels shod in Avon tires.
It will debut at the Geneva Motor Show before beginning its racing campaigns in the summer. This one won't just tear up roads in Europe, though - Meisel says he plans on bringing it to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The press release below has more details.

Comparison test: 2019 Acura RDX vs. compact luxury SUV competitors

Fri, Jun 1 2018

Truth be told, if we were to compare the all-new 2019 Acura RDX with those compact luxury crossover SUVs it would most likely be cross-shopped against, you'd be looking at a different list. Even Acura admits that Lexus and Infiniti are the most likely bogies, but with the 2019 RDX, Honda's luxury brand is attempting to attract those customers who think as much with their hearts as with their heads. And for the most part, those folks have been buying from German brands: the Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class. So, to show how the new RDX compares to them, Acura actually provided examples of each during the recent press drive along with a Volvo XC60. All were determined to have greater emotional appeal than the last RDX, and we would certainly agree. For, as much as the previous-generation RDX made sense on paper, it was really hard to get excited about it. And when you're paying extra for a luxury vehicle, shouldn't you get a little excited? Well, as luck would have it, Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski and I were on hand in Whistler, British Columbia, for the press launch. We didn't have an abundance of time in each RDX competitor, but in conjunction with our usual comparison chart, our impressions should provide a good first taste of how the new RDX compares. Performance and fuel economy Contributing Editor James Riswick: On paper at least, the RDX is gutsier than its comparably powered European rivals. It also weighs the same or less, which logically should mean it'll be the quickest in a straight line. During my brief drives, though, I'm not sure it really stood taller than the three Germans. It at least matches them for smoothness, which is something that can't be said about the Volvo. Fuel economy is lower than them all when you consider all but the Mercedes come standard with all-wheel drive. It's also worth noting that all the competitors are available with engine upgrades, and unless Acura's forthcoming resurrection of Type S models includes the RDX, it should stay that way. Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski: Line 'em all up in a drag race, and I have a feeling the Acura would squirt away to victory. A good bit of that, though, would be due to its 10-speed automatic transmission, which offers a huge spread of ratios and fires off extremely quick shifts. In the real world, I'd guess fuel economy will be similar across the board, so I'm willing to call that category a draw.

Mercedes celebrates with World Championship edition SL63

Mon, Dec 1 2014

Mercedes has plenty to be celebrating at the moment, having just won the Formula One World Championship in spectacular style – taking the constructors' title by a huge margin and the top two slots in the drivers' standings as well. It almost goes without saying that the German outfit would celebrate with a special edition, and that's just what we're looking at here. Presented at a special celebratory Stars & Cars event in Stuttgart in front of 50,000 jubilant fans, the Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG World Championship 2014 Collector's Edition is based on Benz's twin-turbo V8-powered roadster but with some choice upgrades. Two versions will be offered: one in black with gold accents (displayed with the Silverstone circuit layout), the other in white with silver accents (and the Hockenheim map). One was designed by Lewis Hamilton, the other by Nico Rosberg. We'll let you sort out which one was done by which, but either way there'll only be 19 examples, each dedicated to a different grand prix circuit in the championship which Mercedes positively dominated Â– winning all but three, scoring eleven one-two finishes and landing on the podium at each and every one.
