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.

Daimler buying 12% stake in Beijing Auto

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Daimler and Beijing Automotive are officially going steady, with the German company set to take a 12-percent stake in the Chinese brand tomorrow. The two are already tied up in a Mercedes engine plant in Beijing, of which BAIC will increase its stake in, from 50 to 51 percent. Daimler will also get two seats on the Chinese company's board. BAIC may also gain the ability to produce cars on Mercedes-Benz platforms, according to Automotive News Europe.
The investment in BAIC comes ahead of that company's initial public offering, according to a report form Bloomberg, which indicates the deal will be inked tomorrow in the Chinese capital. According to the report, if the circumstances are right, BAIC may turn around and invest in the Germany company "soon."
It's not entirely clear just how much the 12-percent cut is costing Daimler, although it seems reasonable to assume that, as it's ahead of the IPO, the parent company of Mercedes is getting a bit of a bargain.

Volvo S60 Polestar concept plays in the snow with Mercedes C63 AMG

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Chris Harris took to a snowy stretch of tarmac to get a fingertips-on-the-wheel feel of the Volvo S60 Polestar concept. Harris says the turbocharged sedan with 508 horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque - and a manual transmission - is "a study to see if Volvo can get back into the fast-car market." The Polestar S60 concept, one of which was already purchased for $300,000 by a private buyer, is still making the publicity rounds because even Volvo's Chinese owners realize that, as Harris says, "Volvo sold more cars because it made fast cars" like the old 850 T5 Wagon that stormed the British Touring Car Championship in the 1990s.
For reference, Harris compares the blue wonder to the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and its 487 hp and 442 lb-ft. The question is, were Volvo to get the price of a production version of the S60 Polestar to climb way down from its 200,000-pound sticker, could it be worthy competition to the established giants?
You can watch Harris divine the answer via a lot of drifting through the snow and a drag race in the video below.

CES 2022 was huge for EVs | Autoblog Podcast #711

Fri, Jan 7 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder. CES took place this week, and there were some nice electric surprises from automakers, especially General Motors. John has been driving the Ram 1500 Power Wagon, as well as what seems to be its polar opposite, the electric Mini Cooper SE. Greg talks about the differences between the Acura TLX A-Spec long-termer (which is back in the shop) and the Type S loaner that's filling in for it. John's also got some interesting thoughts on leather interiors. Finally, the editors reach into the mailbag and help a repeat customer decide on a suitable replacement for a 2008 Lexus GX 470 in this week's Spend My Money segment.
