Amg C43 98- 302bhp, V8 Perfect Car on 2040-cars
Bozeman, Montana, United States

In late 1997, as a 1998 model, the world was graced by the AMG C43 and its 302bhp 4.3-liter M113-E43 V8. Available in both saloon and estate configurations, the C43 was the first AMG vehicle built completely in-house and the first C-class to receive a V8. 4,200 were produced for the global market between 98-2000, 1,425 of which were for U.S. consumption. With a 0-60 sprint of 5.8 seconds and a top speed of 155mph.
I love my car, bought it at almost double the price and would keep this classic. It is great and the motor is in excellent conditions. It is an AMG, it gallops wild in summers (not that I ever got a ticket) and is incredibly tough in winter. Even if it is rear wheel drive one of the things I am most proud of is that it was able to survive four winters with me and it never failed to turn on in -45F weather. I would have never survived without the front heated seats, and the heater. I have the blizzak tires that go with it that are still in great shape and I have excellent tiers for the summer also, which I will include (the continental, up front and michelin, in the rear). The reason this car is not in excellent shape is that when I lived in California they broke into the car and stole the DVD player. They destroyed that specific part of the dash. I was able to get the dash but never had time to get the DVD and put it in (you can't put in the dash without the radio). I will include the wood dash with it. Besides that this charm has includes luxury appointments like automatic climate control, wood-grain dash, Bose stereo, power glass sunroof, the electronic Mercedes Mercedes Rest system, new smart key, blue LED lights, windshield wiper activated with sensor, and the split mirror side view mirrors for maximum loss of blind spots. I would love to give this car to someone who is willing to take great care of it and that loves these classics as much as I. My brother (that as a job fixes luxury cars) and I were always fixing little things to the car and tried to take as much care of it as possible. It have recently changed many things during a two year span the key, all brake pads and disks, windshield wiper motor and blade, windshield glass, side door wood grain, a side window (when they broke in), oil filters twice, emergency light sensor, spark plugs, water pump.

Recharge Wrap-up: Shift to offer Teslas for Hire, Model S P85D beats Ferrari in drag race
Mon, Dec 15 2014A company called Shift plans to provide bikes and EVs for hire. Based in Las Vegas, NV, Shift will provide chauffeured ride services like Uber, but will also include a car- and bike-sharing service that delivers the desired wheels to the customer. Shift's fleet will include EVs like the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive and the Tesla Model S. Shift also promises that you will, "Be on your way within five minutes," which is a pretty tall order. Shift is scheduled to be available to members beginning this fall. Read more at The Car Connection. Nissan UK has confirmed the price of replacement batteries for the Leaf. UK drivers will be able to buy new batteries for 4,920 pounds (or about $7,738). That's considerably more than the price of $5,499 for US customers. Customers get 1,000 pounds back when they exchange their old battery. The original battery is covered under a five-year, 60,000-mile warranty, and most owners will never need to replace it. According to Nissan, only three replacement batteries have been sold out of 30,000 Leafs sold in Europe. Read more at Autocar. The Tesla Model S P85D walloped a Ferrari in an impromptu drag race video. The Ferrari driver pulls up alongside the Tesla and asks, "What you got in there?" before challenging him to a race. The Ferrari gets a head start, but the Tesla pulls out ahead quickly. The video also gets the reactions of some passengers to the car's mighty acceleration. See the video below and read the account of a drag race against a Lamborghini Aventador at Car Throttle. Australian website Drive has chosen their Cars of the Year in various categories. The Tesla Model S was a carryover winner for Luxury Car Over $80,000, but the Mercedes-Benz C200 narrowly overtook it to be crowned the overall winner. Regarding the Model S, one judge says, "This makes every other EV look at least a generation behind." The main thing that held the Tesla back from winning outright was the near-term lack of charging infrastructure. The judges did note Tesla's plans to build a network of Superchargers in Australia, but also pointed out that those plans exclude much of the country so far.

Mercedes FWD platform to last until 2018, convertible and two-seater future uncertain
Mon, 22 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz seems to be expecting a lot of success from its front-wheel-drive CLA-Class. Automotive News is reporting that the sub-C-Class sedan could grow when its second generation arrives in 2018.
The current FWD platform for MB underpins the CLA, the B-Class, the GLA-Class, and the A-Class. The B-Class will arrive in North America as an EV for spring of 2014, while the production GLA crossover will arrive three to four months after that. The five-door A-Class won't be crossing The Pond. Sad faces all around.
According to AN, another model will be based on the front-drive architecture, but it won't be coming to the US market. Set to arrive next year, rumors are that it'll be a wagon version of the CLA, sort of like the ill-named five-door CLS Shooting Brake that is also a Europe-only item.
