2000 Mercedes Slk 230 Kompressor Sport W/amg Package on 2040-cars
Mankato, Minnesota, United States
Mercedes Benz 2000 SLK 230 Sport Kompressor, 123,000 miles, clean title, great shape.
AMG package, Heated seats, AC, Power windows/locks, remote security, supercharged. A little about the car, I bought it 3 seasons ago, stored it every winter. I had the local Import mechanic replace the headgasket and intake and exhaust manifold gaskets, tune it up and ever since it runs like a top. Compression checked fine and the plugs all look good. Stored winters, no rust, looks fantastic! A few things to know, there is no spare tire, I never had a use for it and just carried a can of fix-a-flat (it also makes the trunk considerably bigger!). The interior is in good shape, but the front dash panel is a little loose, I'm sure it's just a clip or two that came loose, but I haven't had time to fix that. Passanger seat has some UV cracking, but is fine. This is the SPORT model, which came out in 2000 and included a full AMG body kit, with the very desirable 18" AMG monoblock rims. You may wonder why are the rims black? Well I was in the mood to "murder" it last year and had them plasti-coated. Don't like them black? Just peel the coating off or use a pressure washer, very easy google it if you're not sure what this is. Air conditioning works great. A list of what I've done to it in the past 3 seasons. - New KYB struts all the way around - New Brakes pads about 10K ago - New steering damper - New rear tires last season ( about 3/4 tread on front & rear) - Replaced front roof hydraulic seals (common problem on SLK) - New headliner - Had fluids flushed at the Benz dealer last year (Rear Diff, Brake & Coolant) - Updated headlights to reflector style (huge improvement!) - Updated running lights with the LED package - New Alpine CD/MP3/IPHONE interface with JBL speakers. - Dynomatted the door & trunk which helped the sound quite a bit. - Updated Grill with OEM black CLK grill - New ignition switch - New key fob (another $300 dealer item but when you pull it out, it looks great!) - Just changed the Oil to Mobil 1 about 100 miles ago. Why am I selling it? I wish I wasn't, but I've got a new 16 year old driver and while I'd be happy if she drove the Benz, the wife wants her to drive a bigger all wheel drive car for Minnesota Winters. |

Autoblog's Editors' Picks: Our complete list of the best new vehicles
Mon, May 13 2024It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.

Mercedes may be working on a new electric car dubbed 'Ecoluxe'
Fri, Dec 26 2014Automobile 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.
