1990 Mercedes-benz 420sel Base Sedan 4-door 4.2l on 2040-cars

Year:1990 Mileage:70055

Charlotte, North Carolina, United States

 Up for sale is our beautiful 1990 Mercedes-Benz 420-SEL.

This car is in incredible condition, as seen in the photos.  The car only has 70k original miles, and everything functions as it should on the car.  This is a rare find. There are no known issues, leaks, etc.  At 70K miles, this car is barely broken in!  The car was mainly serviced at the Mercedes dealer, and the maintenance booklet has all of the dealer stamps for scheduled maintenance.

I am the second owner.  There are no rust / corrosion issues on the car.  It is simply beautiful and represents a time when Mercedes-Benz produced cars of incredible quality, known for incredible reliability, and impeccable craftsmanship.  I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere.  In 1990, this car was over $60k (yes I have the original window sticker).  This is a no reserve auction, and I have started the auction at a reasonable price.  This is a lot car for the money.  These cars are proving more and more difficult to find in this condition, with such low miles.  They have a timeless design, which is sure to become a classic in the years to come.

I am a car collector, and I have truly enjoyed this car but it is time to let it go.  Of all the Mercedes-Benz S class cars I have owned, (both new and vintage) the build quality of this car, and the color combination is by far my favorite.

In preparation to sell the car, it was recently serviced, which included the following items:

- New Continental Tires (less 1k miles on them)
- New front and rear brakes (pads and rotors)
- New rear sway bar bushings
- Fuel filter replacement
- New Bosch spark plugs (less 1k miles ago)
- A/C was converted over to R134a. The A/C was recharged two weeks ago.  The A/C blows cold and has no leaks or issues. It is ready for the Summer.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks and happy bidding.

Formula 1 seeking independent engine supplier

Mon, Oct 26 2015

Formula 1 could get a new engine supplier in the near future, if Bernie Ecclestone and the independent teams gets their way. According to Autosport, the FIA is soon to open the contract up for bids, and there are already several manufacturers that have expressed interest. Currently Mercedes, Ferrari, Renault, and Honda supply engines – both to their own premier teams (Red Bull and McLaren for the latter two) but also to other teams like Williams, Sauber, and Toro Rosso. Because the new turbocharged V6 hybrid power units cost those four suppliers so much to develop, they're charging their customer teams big bucks – around $20-30 million per season – to provide the engines. These costs are much higher than the $10 million or so it used to cost to purchase a V8 engine under the previous regulations. Ecclestone figures it's time to bring in another supplier who will not run their own team and not play favorites, but will supply engines to private teams at a lower cost. There are already a number of potential suppliers under consideration. One of them is said to be Cosworth, which has a long history in the series stretching back to 1963. The British firm stepped back between 2007 and 2009, returned in 2010, and dropped out again after 2013. The development could be of particular benefit to Red Bull, which has been unable to find an engine supplier and could be forced out of the series as a result. The team has long been powered by Renault, but that relationship has grown sour. And the other three engine manufacturers have not been forthcoming in offering an alternative arrangement for the team.

2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Now Even Sharper Than The Razor's Edge
There have been five Black Series models since the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Black Series introduced itself to European audiences in 2006. Following that, the Black Series club has hosted appearances by the 2008 CLK63 AMG Black Series, the 2009 SL65 AMG Black Series and last year's 2013 C63 AMG Black Series. The sixth member of the group is one we would have thought already was a Black Series car in its standard guise. Right out of the box, the SLS AMG is loud, frenetic, cozy, boisterous and frightfully easy to oversteer. How much more Black did it need to get?
Quite a bit so, apparently. The SLS AMG Black Series has lost weight, gained power and been refitted with upgrades and aero bits from front to rear. If you liked the way it looked before, you'll probably be an even bigger fan of this one. If you thought it looked ungainly, well, this one should stay even further away from pageants. Regardless of where you come down this is the best SLS AMG variant we've driven.

Aston Martin's deal with Mercedes-AMG more than skin-deep

Tue, Jun 30 2015

Aston Martin is working on a raft of new models. But it's not going it alone: it has a technical partnership with Mercedes-AMG, the details of which have only been revealed in bits and pieces. If these latest spy shots are anything to go by, however, the arrangement could run deeper than anyone initially let on. Spied undergoing testing at the Nurburgring, this prototype for the upcoming successor to the Aston Martin DB9 is widely expected to be called the DB11 (10 is being used by James Bond's new ride). From the outside it doesn't look different than the previous versions we've seen running around, but this time we can also peer into the cabin, and that's where things start to get interesting. Despite the best arm-waving efforts by the development engineers, our spy photographers managed to snap a couple of shots of the interior. And though it looks far from being ready for production, the components we see appear to have been lifted from the Mercedes S-Class Coupe – particularly the steering wheel, digital instrument cluster, and almost the entire center console. This speaks to a deeper collaboration between the British and German automakers. The 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 from the Mercedes-AMG GT, C63, and G500 4x42 is already being adapted for use in the next generation of Astons. Related Video:
