Hi all ,  i have had this vehicle for 5 years , bought it when it had 200k miles on it  for commuting  only as i do not fly. i have specifically used it to drive between seattle and florida and did 2 trips per year.

when i bought the vehicle i put it through a rigorous service so that it does not break down on me while commuting. Here is what i have done so far and is the reason why it still runs and wont be dying anytime soon.
1 had the engine completely serviced i.e changed the injector harness injectors  all engine sensors and everything that could ware out or down was changed. there have been NO problems up till this minute. oil changes have been done every 3k.
2 Had new shock put in at 220k
3 Had new lower and upper control arms and bushing put in  at 220 k
4 Had new fuel pump put in around the same time
5 Had new a/c compressor put in new pipes as well
6 Had new water pump put in 
7 Had new cooling fan clutch put in
8 Had transmission fluid & filter replaced successfully (no issues with tranny whatsoever , (original tranny and smooth like butter).
9 Had Front wheel bearing changed due to engine weight , rear ones are still fine
10 Had the entire car painted  two years ago , Paint is still under warranty with ( maaco wpb )
11 Had the window re-tinted for sun protection
12 Put in a new matching shifter knob with burlwood matching the interior of car
13 Had a new M,a,f sensor installed at 230 k
14 Had new headlights put in a month ago
15 New radio antennae
16 Upgraded the interior floor from carpet to tan vinyl , very clean , nice.
17 Added extra sound proofing on floor area under seats , (double leaded sound shield 3/4 inch
18 Added extra sound proofing in engine area under hood so its super quiet inside
19 Changed the door weather stripping on driver side.

For those who know these cars  i think you will appreciate my maintenance routine here. for those who do not know the cars ,  they are very versatile as long as you look after them , the fact that it has this high mileage and looks better than a 204 mercedes  should say alot about how well it has been looked after. there are currently No issues with the car except for some tear on drivers seat due to use and a loose side mirror , central locking works but there are no sounds , may be just a burnt fuse in the module.

I am selling because i need to start towing equipment for work and had to get a truck . i do not need two cars otherwise i would keep it. these vehicle can run up to 400k if looked after , a friend of mine has one with 385 k on it and still running.
Engine is an inline six , aluminum 
Gas tank is 15 gl and you get 340 miles on it.
seattle to fl is 3900 miles and my fuel  expenses usually run 700$
All miles are highway  miles
A/c and any other stuff most fear with high mileage work and have been serviced and or replaced so i give my word it will not die on you anytime soon. just look after it. thanks

Next Mercedes-Benz GLK to get AMG variant? Not likely...

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

If you think Mercedes-Benz will slap an AMG badge on anything with wheels, think again. Word has it the German manufacturer will not offer buyers a performance version of the GLK, with Tobias Moers, director of AMG vehicle development, saying that he doesn't see a market for the car. That's not to say the picture won't change in the near future, however. According to CarAdvice.com, AMG is keeping a close eye on the arrival of the Porsche Macan.
"Maybe there will be a change in the market when the Porsche [Macan] comes up," Moers said, "but right now, no."
The real hitch in the giddy-up seems to be cost. Moers says developing the machine into something worthy of an AMG would represent "a huge investment." We can't exactly argue with that. Fortunately, AMG buyers have plenty of Mercedes-Benz models to choose from.

Mercedes to market Tesla-powered 2014 B-Class EV in U.S.

Thu, 05 Jul 2012

Looks like another Tesla Motors investor will be looking to cash in on their connection. Autoweek reports Mercedes-Benz will offer their B-Class in the U.S. with Tesla propulsion.
The magazine says their source at the German automaker confirms plans for a B-Class electric-only vehicle. While Tesla already provides battery packs for the battery-powered Smart ForTwo, the B-Class EV will reportedly have Tesla batteries, motor and other components. U.S. residents should be able to procure one sometime in 2014.
The same Mercedes source says plans for a hybrid B-Class have been postponed for now. Adding a range-extending, gasoline-powered engine to an electric vehicle would put the car into a different class for which rebates and incentives aren't as favorable in the States.

Mercedes-AMG GT attacks Circuit of the Americas

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Mercedes-Benz is having a banner year with its Formula One team. Through 2014, the constructor has 454 championship points; ahead of its nearest competitor (Red Bull-Renault) by a margin of 182 tally marks. We're sure they can almost taste the champagne.
It's fitting then, and a little big cocky in a good way, that Mercedes has released a video of its newest sports car at an F1 venue. In this case, the car is the lovely Mercedes-AMG GT S, and the racetrack is Austin's Circuit of the Americas.
Having seen the official photo set and scratched the surface of the technical specifications earlier this week, we're excited to finally hear the thing run. As you might guess, the deployment of 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque from the twin-turbo V8 is a motivating experience. Crank up your volume, and hit that play button. (Oh, and Mercedes shot the thing in 4K, too, so those of you with expensive televisions/monitors should take heed to the settings.)
