About my 57,000 mile 2001 - Black MB CLK320 Convertible
I purchased the car (via eBay) two years ago from a local online dealer. I wanted a reliable, low mile, four seater convertible for sunny spring and summer day trips. I've driven approximately 3K miles since then. The car has been garaged and NEVER been in wet weather. The car has NO dings, creases, body issues whatsoever. A Carfax report will confirm that this car has never been in an accident. It is straight and true. The roof is in A+ Condition. All glass is clear with no cracks/defects. Tires are in good shape. Looks like the battery is only 3 years old. Brakes wouldn't need service for probably 10K miles (depending on how you drive). Next major service is >11K miles away. The car is 12 years old, so naturally it has a few small scratches, imperfections etc.
The dealer didn't exactly represent the car accurately and I ended up doing the following work over the first couple of weeks of ownership.
1. Headlamps were badly fogged (notorious MB issue), so I had them cleaned - They are now crystal clear
2. Headlamps and Low Beam Bulbs were blown - I replaced with new halogen bulbs
3. Fog Light Glass was cracked - I replaced the glass and installed halogen bulbs
4. The side mirror controller was broken - I replaced with a new controller
5. The 6 CD player was broken - I had it repaired
6. The A/C wasn't working - I had it repaired
7. The tires were worn - I replaced all four, they are currently 8-32 with lots of tread depth
8. Replaced windshield wiper (The CLK only has one)
9. Fixed the windscreen washer motor
In addition to things that needed to be repaired, I also decided to,
1. Replace the stock front grille with an AMG style grille
2. Add AMG wheel inserts
3. Purchase a new 2001 MB CLK320 Owners Manual
4. Freshen up the wheels with a fresh coat of German Alloy Silver Paint (I will include a can and lacquer with the purchase)
A year or so ago,
The convertible cover stopped retracting, so I had a new motor added. Now working perfectly (I will include a full 1qt MB Hydraulic Fluid).
If I was keeping the car (I may if it doesn't sell), I would make the following repairs,
1. Repair the driver/passenger leather seats where the seams are splitting by the shoulder. ALL MB CLK and E Class seats go at some point in this area. IF you purchase the vehicle @ my low "Buy It Now" price, I'll take them to the dealer and get them done before you pick the car up. It is a $200 repair.
2. Have the alloy wheels professionally rehabbed or replace them with an AMG set (~$500).
About the Seller,
I've been on eBay since 1999. I buy and sell and maintain 100% Feedback. I am interesting in buying and selling items that are great value and accurately describe the item. If you want to know more about the car, want more pictures, contact me. I want to make sure that you know what you're buying and (UNLIKE ME), don't have lots of unexpected repairs to make.
If you're in the Philly Area, I'll deliver the car to you (within 50 miles). If you want to see the car, I'll meet you at a convenient location. If you want to ship the car, I'll work with you to make the car available when convenient.
The car is sold "AS IS". No warranty is implied or provided with this vehicle. A $500 Non-Refundable deposit is required within 72 hours of purchase via Pay-Pal. I will release the Car AND Title when the balance of the funds have cleared.

2014 Mercedes SL and SLK add small expansion to Takata airbag recall
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Mercedes-Benz is the latest automaker to be affected by Takata's massive airbag recall. The company has announced a voluntary recall campaign on a small number of model-year 2014 SLK- and SL-Class roadsters.
In Mercedes' case, 300 vehicles are affected, 200 of which are in the hands of customers. According to spokesperson Donna Boland, the affected roadsters were built between March and April of this year.
The issue, which is apparently the fault of one of Takata's subcontractors, rests with some improperly installed fasteners, which could keep the airbag from performing the way it's supposed to. According to Boland, Mercedes isn't sure what, if any, injuries the recalled airbags could cause, but simply claims there's an increased risk in these particular vehicles. There's been no reported instances of the faulty airbags deploying on a customer and the original issue was found in a production test.
Mercedes-Benz introduces new heavy security M-Class Guard model
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Mercedes-Benz has unveiled a new addition to the company's line of personal security vehicles. The M-Class Guard features bullet-proof side windows made with special laminated glazing and a polycarbonate inner layer to protect occupants from shards of glass. Mercedes says the M-Class Guard meets protection level VR4 according to the Bullet Resistant Vehicles 2009 standards, based on testing from the independent Ulm-based Ballistics Bureau, which means it can withstand .357 Magnum and .44 fire from multiple angles. It can also stand up to the DM51 hand grenade when equipped with optional floor armoring. Why skimp?
Buyers looking for protection from the world's literal slings and arrows can opt for the ML350 BlueTEC with its 258 horsepower 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine. With 457 pound-feet of torque, the oil-burner should have no trouble hustling the privileged class about. Of course, the ML500 offers a bit more punch courtesy of a 4.6-liter twin-turbo V8 with 408 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. Prices start at 105,050 euros for the diesel and 118,650 euros for the V8. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
Mercedes A45 AMG in downhill battle with slipstream skateboarder
Mon, 30 Sep 2013We're told it takes "performance, control and expression" to pilot a longboard skateboard down a mountain road, and that those happen to be the same values embodied in the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG. That's how the two came to be combined in a black-and-white short film called Silver Slipstream.
There's no talking, no engine note and no color, just some music, a 'boarder and a car on a long cruise down the Franschhoek Pass in the Western Cape of South Africa." Despite that, it's actually a pretty entertaining video of the latest Mercedes-Benz hot hatch married with extreme sports. You can watch how it all goes down in the video below.
