Up for sale is a wide body 1988 Mercedes 560sec AMG. I acquired this car recently in payment of a debt and don't know a lot about it. I do, however, know that the body on this car is extremely rare and I have never seen another car like it in my life. I will do my best to provide as much information as possible, and can try to answer any questions you may have to the best of my ability. I cannot validate whether or not this is a genuine AMG Mercedes, or weather or not the body on it is original AMG. I know of no way to find this out, and it is the buyers responsibility to do all research on this issue before purchase.

The car has a clean Ohio title. The instrument cluster was missing when I received the car, so I inserted a spare that I had from another car, but it is not the original cluster, and it has over 200k on the odometer, as seen in the pictures.

The body/frame/chassis is what is being sold here. In no way should somebody think they are buying a car that is drivable. This car has no engine or transmission, or much of anything left in the engine bay. It is bare, but very clean. The interior seems to have been mostly removed at some point, as there are several loose pieces of interior trim. It seems like it is all there, but again, items like the dash, console, carpets, etc. are not secured in place fully. The trunk has several extra pieces of trim and carpet that will be included. I do not know, unfortunately, why the original engine and transmission, interior, and other parts were removed in the first place. Pictures of anything that seems significant are posted. If you require specific photos you do not see, please contact me and I will send them to you.

Everything on/in the car is included in the auction and will be sold as-is. Meaning that every piece of carpet, plastic, etc. that I have for this car will be included. In addition, the 20" wheels and nearly new tires shown are included so the vehicle can be moved. They match the body nicely in size and shape, and have a nice deep dish that fits this car perfectly.

The overall quality of the body and paint is very good. There are a few small imperfections in the rear bumper, and a damaged area about 3 inches long on the passenger front fender, with a hairline crack in the fiberglass in that area extending a bit beyond the damaged area. The rest of the body is in really nice shape. The vehicle is in the exact condition I received it in (other than adding a instrument cluster), and will be sold that way. I haven't the heart or skill for a project like this, or I would already be driving it.

I can try to assist the buyer with loading the vehicle on a trailer, tow truck, shipping truck, etc., but all arrangements must be made by the buyer. Please contact me with any questions or to set up an appointment to inspect it. I should be able to respond to any inquiries within a few hours. Thanks for looking!

Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid ready for 'major role' in urban areas

Fri, Jan 17 2014

We finally got a clear look at the Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid at the Frankfurt Motor Show last fall, but it took until this week to learn what the vision (see what we did there) is that Mercedes-Benz has for the PHEV. Despite it's generous size, Mercedes thinks this is a vehicle that will work well in urban areas. Speaking to members of the media during the Detroit Auto Show, Thomas Weber, Daimler AG management board member and research and development chief for Mercedes-Benz cars, said that the S500 PHEV, "will play a major role in congested areas" and that it will offer "a lot of driving pleasure." Part of that pleasure will come from a 0-62 mile-per-hour time of around 5.5 seconds thanks to a turbocharged, 3.0-liter V6 and an 80-kilowatt electric motor. The PHEV also has a 19-mile EV range, which will put it at the bottom end of the Three-Pointed star plug-in lineup. The upcoming C-Class plug-in, for example, will likely go, "closer to 50 km [31 miles]," Weber said, according to Green Car Reports. The S500 PHEV will go on sale in Europe later this year and will come to the US in early 2015 but there is no timeline, yet, for the C-Class plug-in (and the standard gas-electric hybrid version) or the even-more-future E-Class hybrids.

Mercedes-Benz releases stunning first images of 2014 S-Class

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

The all-new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, designated W222, is one of the most highly anticipated debuts of its model year. Every generation of the flagship sedan has broken new ground in technology and innovation for the entire industry, and the German automaker appears determined to raise the bar much further with its latest arrival as it promises to deliver "the best automobile in the world." Mercedes-Benz has just released nearly two dozen interior images of the new sedan, showing off style in design, craftsmanship in execution and pioneering advancements in technology.
Unlike all previous generations - the first S-Class officially arrived in 1972 - the 2014 model completely discards a traditional instrument cluster and replaces it with two high-resolution color displays in 8:3 format with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches (the outgoing model's gauges were a mix of digital and analog). The left unit displays traditional analog gauges (digitally, of course) while the right unit is reserved for infotainment and comfort settings with the automaker's all-new mBrace2 - a cloud-based entertainment and information delivery system that is rolling out this year.

Missouri Mercedes dealer offering free Smart with every SLS AMG purchase

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT is an exquisite sports car that probably needs no help flying off dealer lots, even with a starting price of almost $200,000, but Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City has come up with an interesting incentive to sweeten the deal. For buyers who purchase a new SLS AMG from dealer stock before the end of the year, the dealership is throwing in a new Smart Fortwo from its inventory at no charge... with a required coupon no less.
In addition to being a great tactic to get a little free press, the spare car also makes sense as an alternative to the SLS, which measures more than 15-feet long - almost twice the length of a Fortwo - and has a 563-horsepower engine that sucks down gas at the rate of 13 miles per gallon in city driving (and even that's provided you don't give in to the devil on your shoulder). Plus, at the end of the day, this really isn't that big of an incentive. Being given a slow-selling $12,490 car for the purchase of a model starting at $199,500 represents about a six percent incentive, which is along the lines of a $1,900 rebate for a $30,000 car.
To get the free Smart, just visit the Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City Facebook page, redeem the coupon and then go buy yourself a new SLS AMG. Congratulations!
