You are bidding on 1991 Mercedes Benz 420 SEL with 153557 miles. Both exterior and interior are almost like new condition with no body rust or interior tear or wear. As you can see the pictures, interior is in immaculate condition and so is outside body. We bought this car in 2003 as a second owner and took really good care of it. But it started to have engine problem in that one cylinder out of 8 misfires. Since then we didn't drive it much. A week ago, I started it up and drove around town. But it stopped in the middle of the road since the alternator got bad and didn't charge the battery. When I jump it, it starts fine. When I take the jumper cable off, it does on me. So definitely it's an alternator issue. Since then, it's been sitting in my driveway. So, you need to haul it away or fix the alternator at a local repair shop before you drive away.
If you got a rebuild project with another 420 SEL or if you want to rebuild this car to make it a classic collectible item, this would be a perfect car. Leather seats are like new both back and front. Both front seats are 12 way power seats with memory. Rear window actuator got replaced recently with $400 repair cost. It's got really rock solid frame and body. Paint has a lot of glow and sheen and with some buffing it will shine like you did a new paint job. What you see on the hood is mostly gunk of dust and rainfall leaves. It will retain bright and shiny black paint once buffed. Again no body rust whatsoever, except only the front bumper's stainless still has about fist size rust starting to happen. But the body itself is rust free. All 4 tires are replaced at the same time not too long ago so they all have about the same tread and have a lot of tread left over as you can see in the pics. Wheels are in fairly good shape for its age (they are original wheels).
I am listing it for only 5 days with no reserve and low starting price. Only serious bidders please. I have shown and described as honestly and accurately as possible, but I am not guaranteeing the reliability or its mechanical soundness. It's sold as is. Please check my other listings for fountain pens, watch, and motorcycle.
Thanks for looking or bidding.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class interior caught in spy shots
Tue, 29 Jan 2013With the redesigned 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class getting closer to production, the camera-wielding crew over at Autospies somehow managed to get inside of the car to snap some detailed spy shots. As the prototypes continue to shed camouflage, it would appear that Mercedes-Benz is getting closer to unveiling the car, and with the Geneva and New York auto shows coming up, it could be sooner rather than later.
From what we can see of this car's interior, the overall look of the S-Class' cabin isn't a ground-breaking departure from the current car, but it has been completely redesigned with more advanced technology. The styling is now even more upscale with larger swaths of wood, more shapely door panels (without the built-in armrest cubbies) and the concept-like two-spoke steering wheel. The highlight of this car though is probably the two massive digital screens with one being used for driver information and the other used for navigation, audio and infotainment systems. One other detail we noticed about this car is that it was equipped with the new 360-degree camera that debuted on the new GL-Class and will also be used on the 2014 E-Class. We also know that the next-gen S-Class will be getting the new cloud-based MBrace2 infotainment system.
As for the exterior design, it looks like the next S-Class will carry a similar profile as the current car, but we can see through the camouflage that the new styling will fit in better with current Mercedes-Benz products. Up front, the grille is much larger is flanked by aggressive LED-trimmed headlights, while the rear view of the car shows us the LED brake light now at the top of the rear window, a more pointed trunk opening and a more squared-off rear fascia with exhaust outlets pushed to the corners.
Mercedes teases a new Maybach concept convertible
Wed, Aug 9 2017Once again, Mercedes is taking a Vision concept to the Pebble Beach Concours this year. To start generating excitement, the company has released a teaser trailer for the car, and effectively no other information. But we think we've pieced together what the car is. Let's look at the video first. It shows a voluptuous blue body. It's all curves and clean lines inside and out. It also has an impressively prodigious prow with a proud three-pointed star at the front. The interior is all white with very little detail, and in addition to chrome, there are many copper trim pieces. There appear to be only two seats, too. Toward the end, we see a strip of copper trim on the outside as well, and just before the shot changes, we can see a bit of white interior that indicates this is a convertible. So we know this is an elegant, luxurious roadster. Is there anything else we can discern? Well, it seems Mercedes may have accidentally revealed the name of the car, or at least what it's based on. The video's file name includes the words "Maybach six." That happens to be the name of last year's Mercedes-Maybach coupe concept. On top of that, there's a striking resemblance between the long, flowing hoods of both cars. So it seems like a pretty safe bet that Mercedes will show the convertible version of that car, which was 18 feet long, and produced 738 horsepower from a quartet of electric motors. We'll find out if we're right when the car is revealed at Pebble Beach.

Clark Gable's 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing doesn't sell, then does sell for $1.85 million [UPDATE: w/video]
Sat, 19 Jan 2013How much extra value does previous celebrity ownership add to of a car? Really, there's no way to know until the car in question hits the auction block and bidders start raising their hands. In the case of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing you see above, the celebrity owner is none other than Clark Gable, who purchased it new. After Gable's death in 1960, the car changed hands a few times before settling with Charles Wood in 1975.
A high-dollar restoration was performed in 1989, and period accessories added by Gable himself were kept in place, including the Rudge knock-off wheels and Nardi steering wheel. Any Mercedes-Benz 300SL is worth a big chunk of money. In the case of Clark Gable's old Gullwing, the bidding stalled at $1.9 million here at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale. As one of the 5000-series cars, this 300SL carried a reserve, and a bit of after-the-fact dealmaking saw the car change hands for $1.85 million.
You can see our high-res image gallery above, and the car's official auction description below.
