The Mercedes-Benz W116 is a series of flagship vehicles produced from September 1972 until 1979. The W116 automobiles were the first Mercedes-Benz models to be officially called S-Class. In a poll conducted by Britain's Classic & Sports Car magazine and printed in their April 1999 edition, the Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL ranked fourth on their list of the "world's greatest saloons."

This example is Silver with Navy Blue Leather interior, woodgrain dash accents, chrome trim, M117 engine (V8 with 4,520 cc displacement), power antenna, and lots of rare high-end options including integrated fog lights on the front bumper, original color-matched mercedes-benz logo hubcaps, alpine stereo w/ cassette deck, and a power sun roof with polarized windscreen. Very LOW miles for a 1976 - 90,436 miles. This car was babied by both owners, smoke-free and kept in heated garages. Car was purchased new by an executive at the Ohio Art Company (Makers of the Etch-a-Sketch toy). The current owner was a friend of the original owner and purchased the car in the late 70s. This car has tons of power, luxury and room! The 450SE sedans were widely considered one of the best cars for the money in their day, with a 190-hp fuel-injected, 4.5-liter SOHC V8, three-speed automatic transmission, independent suspension and disc brakes all round, and standard air conditioning. The SEL stretched the wheelbase four inches for back seat passengers.

Condition: As you can see from the photos, this car is in very good condition considering its age. The engine starts up on command and purrs! It still has loads of power and can make it up to 100mph without trying with an exceedingly quiet passenger compartment. The dash and rear deck are in excellent condition. The rubber is in good condition. Tires in good condition. It has had a recent oil/filters/fluids change/check within the last week. The local Mercedes dealership believes it is one of the best examples in the area. That said, it has indicators of use. There are a couple of small scuff marks on the rear of the front seats (see photos). The rear seat needs a replacement rubberized horsehair (original) cushion (or a cheaper foam one is also available after market). There are wear marks on the carpet in the driver's compartment. The rubber pad on the brake pedal needs to be replaced. The radio works but the cassette deck needs to be serviced (dealership said that it only requires minor repair). The windscreen was recently replaced and the company that did it damaged the chrome trim around the front window (see photos). We are including the original window trim pieces as well as the quote and parts list from the Mercedes dealership. Additionally with this sale are included two (2) extra chrome Mercedes Logo hubcaps and a chrome Mercedes hood ornament.

This car is perfect for the right owner. It is in near perfect shape but still needs a little love and a little work to get there. Wouldn't be selling it if we had the choice. This is your opportunity to own a true stylish classic. We have a very LOW Reserve on this car. 

Terms: $1000.00 within 24 hrs of end of auction from the winning bidder and cash or Paypal within 7 days. Pick-up or transport plans must be made within 7 days of end of auction. Cost of taxes, transfer fees, and transportation is the responsibility of the winning bidder. Thank you for your interest.

Mercedes shows off more of the S-Class Cabriolet

Tue, Aug 25 2015

Mercedes has been very much into teasing lately, providing various kinds of peeks at the recently revealed Mercedes-AMG C63, the coming 2017 E-Class sedan, and the S-Class Cabriolet. We've seen the least of that latter car but it could be the one we know the most about. The sixth member of the S-Class family after the standard sedan, the long-wheelbase sedan, the Maybach models, the Pullman, and the coupes, this one puts a fabric top on that two-door model and then lets owners take it off. After the sketched rendering from two weeks ago, this latest photo from Mercedes shows us pretty much what we're going to get, and since we're huge fans of the coupe it looks like we'll be huge fans of this, too. It will certainly come heaped with techno gizmos like heated armrests, and a set of Burmester speakers in the tonneau cover. In case you're wondering, those screen-looking things behind the front seat headrests are fans for the Airscarf neck warming system. The press release below has a bit on the history and demise of four-seater Mercedes droptops, which helps remind us why we should care about the trim being resurrected 45 years later. Related Video: The new S-Class Cabriolet: A star returns Stuttgart, Aug 25, 2015 - Coveted dream car of the 1960s meets star of the 2015 International Motor Show in Frankfurt: the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet is following in the tradition of the open-top S-Class (model series 111 and 112) from the period 1961 to 1971. Unmistakeable, exclusive design, fine materials with maximum high-class appeal in the interior and state-of-the-art technology in the S-Class characterise the concept behind both cabriolets. "After 44 years we can again offer friends of our company an open variant of the S-Class. The new S-Class Cabriolet symbolises our passion for individual and timelessly exclusive mobility, which we share with our customers", remarks Ola Kallenius, Board Member of Daimler AG, Mercedes-Benz Cars Sales. With the new S-Class Cabriolet Mercedes-Benz is setting itself the standard of building the most comfortable cabriolet in the world. When it comes to climate comfort the enhanced automatic wind protection system AIRCAP, the AIRSCARF neck-level heating system, the heated armrests, the seat heating also in the rear plus the intelligent fully automatic climate control ensure that this is indeed the case.

Editors' Picks November 2023: Toyota Grand Highlander, Buick Envista and some lovely luxury vehicles

Fri, Dec 1 2023

It's been a month since we served you with the full lot of Autoblog Editors' Picks, and that master list is going to continue to grow as more new cars enter the market. For November 2023, we have a trio of SUVs coming in at various sizes and price points including the Buick Envista, Toyota Grand Highlander and Mercedes-Benz GLS. And if you're looking for a convertible sports car, the BMW Z4 is one that should make your shortlist, as it finds its way into this month's of Editors' Picks, as well. In case you missed previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get an EditorsÂ’ Pick designation. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in November that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Limited Hybrid Max View 25 Photos Quick take: The Hybrid Max is the one to get, but the Grand Highlander comes highly recommended for its added space, nicer interior and fuel efficient powertrains. Score: 7 What it competes with: Kia Telluride, Jeep Grand Cherokee L, Chevy Traverse, Honda Pilot, Subaru Ascent, Ford Explorer, Toyota Highlander, Mazda CX-9, Kia Sorento, Buick Enclave, Nissan Pathfinder, VW Atlas, Mazda CX-90 Pros: Two hybrid powertrain options; exceptional cargo space; usable third row; refined and quiet ride. Cons: Expensive for the segment; the lesser hybrid powertrain is noisy and slow. From the editors: Senior Editor, Electric, John Beltz Snyder — "The Grand Highlander is a nice alternative to the standard Highlander for the Toyota faithful for its usable third row. The choice of powertrains is a huge boon, too, whether you want a fuel-sipping hybrid, or solid gas engine or a more robust hybrid with extra performance. YouÂ’re just going to have to pay a little more for it all." In-depth analysis: 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Review: A strong, new three-row contender   2024 Buick Envista 2024 Buick Envista Sport Touring front three quarter View 19 Photos Quick take: The Envista is one of our top subcompact SUV picks. It packs tremendous value into a compelling design that looks far more expensive than it is. A homerun for Buick.
