--------------CALLING ALL MERCEDES 560 LOVERS & COLLECTORS!!!-----------------------------------------------------------------------1st $6900 OR BEST REASONABLE OFFER GETS THIS GEM! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------WOW! Where do I begin to describe this STUNNING   "ALL ORIGINAL & classic Mercedes 560 SEC. Well,  For those of you familiar with this Incredible  "Flagship" Mercedes model  You already know that this top of the line model  always featured the BEST and most extravagant and luxurious features that were available at the time, putting this car decades ahead of its time for design performance and comfort, not to mention durability!,  This cars general overall rarity makes them a very attractive buy for collectors and Mercedes fans alike, and RARER still are CLEAN and Original 560 SEC's  that are from the southwest, have never been wrecked, are  "matching numbers" cars with CLean title, and CLean title history!  This one meets all of those criteria and more, not to mention how nice the car looks!  There are Tons of Buyers out there for SEC's right now , and these cars are  poised firmly on the comeback trail since many auto collectors have begun to snatch them up knowing that these rare roadsters were among the finest cars ever to come out of Mercedes , In Fact, Many believe this  560 series to be among THE  best cars that Mercedes or anyone else  ever produced!  (.....Theres a reason that they were nearly $100k new! ).... And speaking of production , only 28,000 of these Mercedes "dream" cars were ever made during the entire production run during the years 1985 to 1991, making this AWESOME car increasingly rare and more desirable among car collectors of  all ages and eras, and especially for enthusiasts of cars from this period.  I remember how badly I wanted one of these back  in the 80s after being lucky enough to catch a  20 minute ride in one back in 1987.   That ride was SO impressive that I (to this day have as much respect and admiration for this car as the day I first got to ride in one!)  After that I swore I would get one, but the $90k price tag kept me away for many years to come, Anyhow let me just say that to drive one is to ABSOLUTELY LOVE one, and For those of you who haven't yet driven one , but Love this car simply for its Raw,  aggressive & stylish stance + its timeless good looks, I can assure you, that for you, the best is yet to come! Because they are simply one of the FUNNEST cars to drive EVER, and are  like no other car I've ever experienced, to this date.  And that's saying a lot, as I have had the privilege of driving and owning Lots of nice (High end ) cars, but all of them fall short in one way or another (IN MY OPINION) when compared to a 560 and  to what this car delivers on!  This one hasn't been driven much lately, but it still runs and drives great, And LOOKS AMAZING !  SEE THE PICS!  It only has 151k miles on it which is not a lot for one of these cars that regularly go to 300k miles and well beyond if they are taken care of! "Mechanically Bulletproof" is often the way you see  and hear of these gems being described because they are well known to last (seemingly) forever.    As far as the mechanics  and driveability go for this car, it starts Immediately on the first crank , and hums beautifully  and has NO LEAKS, NO DRIPS, etc. This car was garage kept for most of its life, and it shows!  The dash has no cracks, the interior is in overall GREAT Condition and definitely doesn't show its age at all!  Even the carpet is beautiful, and has no stains tears or rips, and is still in great shape as well all around! And as for the Beautiful black leather seats, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, as they are truly remarkable!  It's also worth mentioning that  the sunroof doesn't move, but EVERYTHING else works perfectly such as ALL of the power windows work perfectly along with the power steering, the power door-locks, AND EVEN the MOTORIZED SEATBELT " ARMS" both work as new!  This car is a Thrill to drive and almost as thrilling to stare at!  I start it often and always starts up, and has been well taken care of over the last quarter century (Yes its 25 years old!) That being said, its Not a new car, and while the (VERY GOOD) condition of this car both Mechanically and physically are Well above average, it is still important that you remember that you are bidding on a "CLASSIC" Mercedes and that while its current state finds it to be a GOOD RUNNING CLASSIC that everything still works on, Things can happen and the car is sold without a warranty.  And please Don't let my honesty discourage you in any way, I just feel the need to remind all bidders that this vehicle is NOT new, and hasn't been NEW for 25 years, so be reasonable and fair about this in your evaluation of this vehicle, and if you are, I can assure comfortably that this 560 SEC is in WELL ABOVE AVERAGE condition all around, in fact I would safely give it an 8 out of 10 for its overall condition, and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it daily if I needed to. However, I would plan on a basic maintenance schedule before doing so, just to treat the car right! Nothing big, just the basics, such as a new fuel filter, maybe some new plugs etc, and of course an oil change (the oil already looks good), i'm just saying to do this stuff more or less  just to pamper her.  Basically, since its not driven too much these days  a fuel system cleaning might also be suggested if a long trip is needed, or if  perfection is desired, again mostly just to pamper this lovely ride!  Oh I almost forgot that the car also has a NEW battery and 4 brand new MATCHING TIRES!  This Beautiful rare running classic is only going to go up in value, so don't miss your chance to get a NICE ONE (from the southwestern part of the country that's not been exposed to any harsh elements and is 100 % un-molested! ) This Benz has  been well cared for and it certainly shows, I believe that it is sure to appreciate if it is given the same continued level of care and respect that it has been shown to date!  Just to Reiterate once again, please understand that this is NOT a PERFECT or NEW Mercedes, just a Gorgeous example of the 560 species that still runs and drives and almost everything on the vehicle still works perfectly without issue.  And if you want a nicer one then plan on spending $10 k or better, because this is still a VERY NICE CAR ALL AROUND! and will still turn heads ANYWHERE you drive her! AND FYI -not only are you 100% welcome to come out and view this vehicle in person (and TEST drive it!) ...You are ENCOURAGED to do so, and if you do, you will see just how great these cars are, and how much fun they are to drive!  So please, if you are SERIOUS about the vehicle, then by all means,  feel free to email me through EBAY for a pre bid or Pre purchase examination and test drive ....Just be serious! that's all!  Don't miss this one!
 
MORE EXTRA INFO:
This all original Mercedes 560SEC coupe  is a "MATCHING NUMBERS" car and it was regularly  maintained by MB dealers or by certified MB techs for most of its life, and the condition shows it!.  This car has never been in an accident  (there are only MINOR blemishes to be found anywhere  including a very small rust spot over the passengers rear wheel well...totally minor, making this an almost rust free vehicle!  with a VERY SOLID body including all the body panels and all of the chrome trim and bumpers, as well as lower air dams they are in Great shape too! See PICS!.........And once again to re cap, The interior  overall is also in Super condition, with supple leather seats with no tears or rips. The Burlwood is all there and is in good shape with only minor fading and can be totally replaced for about $200 if absolute perfection is desired, but like I said, All of the Burlwood pieces are still in place and in tact, so replacing it would be only for the truly finicky or to a collector who wants a prestine 560.  Oh and the Trunk is likewise very clean, and has the original spare tire in there as well as the safety kit, and the TOOL ROLL.  And FYI the engine compartment is also VERY CLEAN, showing again just how well the car has been cared for!.-----------------------------------MORE PICS ARE COMING SOON!  So...stay tuned!
.  
John Olson's book, "The MERCEDES Experience" notes that the W126 coupe is the rarest Mercedes produced during the golden years of the 80s, before Mercedes ceased to be over engineered and plastic replaced leather and metal in their line.  Less than 2,000 of these cars were made per year.  These rare coupes are starting to appreciate and will continue to appreciate in the future.  This car just floats down the interstate with the most luxurious ride imaginable, better than today's cars.  The 5.6 liter V8 provides ample power to do as you please in this car.  Likewise, the body structure is extremely strong with no rattles and vibrations.  The car has VERY nice glass and Perfect taillights without any cracks or staining (SEE PICS!) Very nice  trim all around including flawless window glass .al around  This car offers WITHOUT A DOUBT (IMO) the absolute most for the money of any used car on the market today. Especially when you consider the original $90k sticker price of this car, combined with the fact that this one still runs and drives great!    You could drive it every day, and it will provide many, many years of pleasure as the years go by (While it continues to appreciate! = $$$!  The engine and drivetrain are as tough as nails, and are almost always capable of going hundreds of thousands of miles without the need of any rebuild if maintained to MB specs. This car gets lots of attention, looks,  and lots of "thumbs ups".   Comes with original book,  a large Mercedes cover  intact along with the original tool roll etc.  I HATE to sell this "dream" car, but I need the $$$ out of it to do other things right now, otherwise id NEVER sell this one!.  If you have any questions, please ask prior to bidding, I have set a most reasonable reserve price, and have decided on a Buy it NOW at $6,900.  I am only asking a fair price for this classic car and am willing to sell it early based on a reasonable offer, so if you've got a FAIR and REASONABLE offer in mind for my baby, then please feel free to make an offer on her!  Thanks so much for looking, and if you are bidding, then I wish you GOOD LUCK!  Thanks again, and watch for the PICS as they will go up sometime today!    Additional pictures will be available on request. Please do NOT bid if you do NOT intend to BUY!  I need to sell her fast, and have gone to great lengths to make sure that she sells quickly!  AND REMEMBER!!!- YOU CAN BID WITH CONFIDENCE...

2016 British Grand Prix kept mostly calm and carried on

Mon, Jul 11 2016

Three bursts of chaos decided the course of the British Grand Prix. The first was a literal cloudburst a dozen minutes before the race, which poured water on the Silverstone Circuit while drivers sat on the grid. Six minutes before the lights-out, the race director decided to start the race behind the Safety Car. The field loped around the wet track for five laps. When the Safety Car pulled off, the three leaders – Mercedes-AMG Petronas' Lewis Hamilton, followed by teammate Nico Rosberg and Red Bull's Max Verstappen – stayed out. Behind them, the second chaotic moment occurred: a big group of drivers made pit stops for intermediate tires. When Manor's Pascal Wehrlein spun at Turn 1 on Lap 7, officials issued a Virtual Safety Car. With the rest of the field slowed down, the three leaders ducked into the pits on Lap 8 for intermediates. The fortuitous timing meant all three drivers rejoined the track in their original positions. By Lap 9, with racing resumed, Hamilton had a 4.9-second lead on Rosberg. From that point, even as the track dried, no one bothered Hamilton during what one commentator called "a measured drive." The Brit won his home grand prix, taking the checkered flag seven seconds ahead of Rosberg. Rosberg had to earn second place on track. The German's car didn't respond well to the intermediate tires, so Verstappen excecuted an outstanding pass on Rosberg on the outside through Chapel on Lap 16. After everyone switched to slicks, Rosberg's Mercedes reclaimed its mojo and the German hunted Verstappen down, passing the Dutchman on Lap 38. The final touch of chaos happened when Rosberg's gearbox threw a tantrum on Lap 47 of the 52-lap race. Rosberg radioed his engineer, "Gearbox problem!" His engineer replied, "Affirm. Chassis default zero one. Avoid seventh gear, Nico." The race stewards allowed the engineer's first two statements, but stewards said the instruction about seventh gear contravened the rule that "the driver must drive the car alone and unaided." After the race, officials added ten seconds to Rosberg's time, demoting him to third behind Verstappen. Rosberg's is the first penalty arising from radio communication restrictions. Unsurprisingly, Mercedes will appeal. At this year's Baku race the radio controversy stemmed from engineers refusing to tell drivers what to do. Now we know what happens when the pit wall gets loose lips.

Mercedes G500 4x4 rumbles into view

Tue, Feb 17 2015

Mercedes keeps raising the bar with the G-Class: just when you think the legendary Gelandewagen couldn't get any more hardcore, it mashes the throttle and does exactly that, plowing through a bank of snow, sand, hell or high water in the process. What you see here is the latest. It's called the G500 4x42. Aside from the various engine specs, the G-Class has been offered in a number of body-styles. Right around the same time that the two-door convertible was discontinued, Benz rolled out the indomitable G63 AMG 6x6 – a half-million-dollar, six-wheeled monster truck powered by Affalterbach's 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8. Evidently enough people liked the idea but didn't see the point in that extra set of wheels, so Mercedes has toned it down – just a little – but kept the high-riding suspension. The result is the truck we've seen testing a couple of times now in a bright shade of Hulk green, and which is now just about ready for its debut. On the scale of extreme G-Wagens, it slots in between the standard model and the 6x6, keeping the jacked-up suspension and giant wheels, but losing the extra axle. The G500 moniker also indicates that it'll at least be available with the 382-horsepower, naturally aspirated, non-AMG version of the 5.5-liter V8 that we'd know as the G550. Just how much of a premium Benz will charge for the beefed-up version, we don't know, as further details are set to be released next week ahead of a likely debut in Geneva. But hopefully it'll be closer to the $115k it gets for the standard version than the $500+k the 6x6 goes for.

2020 Colorado Winter Driver's Notes | Behind the Wheel S02 // E12

Mon, Apr 6 2020

2020 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 I’ve had bad luck with SUVs this winter. Especially performance ones. First, I got a 2019 Range Rover Sport SVR delivered on summers right as two feet of snow fell, rendering it undriveable. Then, coronavirus cancelled Easter Jeep Safari as well as my trip out to Moab in the 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Diesel. Thankfully, when this 469 horsepower luxury mall crawler was dropped off, the sun shone down and the snow (mostly) held off.  The first thing that I noticed was there were a few blank buttons throughout the cabin, something that you may see in an entry model vehicle, but IÂ’m not accustomed to seeing in an AMG. Not a great look for a vehicle with an $80,000 price tag. Thankfully that was where the disappointment ended. As soon as you press the start button, the engine fires up and the exhaust note is incredible. Hopping on the highway ramp near my house, I floored it, and the biturbo V8 had me pressed back into the driver's seat, and this wasnÂ’t even the S version that our staff drove last year. Inside and out, the GLC 63 was everything youÂ’d expect from Mercedes. The interior was immaculate, and while the infotainment wheel and touch pad may take some getting used to for someone who isnÂ’t familiar, by now I have it down so that I can use it without looking. And while the V8 left me smiling ear to ear, I was most impressed by the amount of useable interior space there is. I happened to be moving at the time of this review and while all of my large furniture was shoved into the back of a moving van, I was able to fit almost everything else in the back of the GLC. 2019 and 2020 Fiat 500X Trekking ItÂ’s hard to say goodbye to an AMG and then turn around and be excited when a Fiat 500X pulls in your driveway (I know, I know, automotive journalist problems). That being said, when the red Fiat pulled up, I found myself admiring it. I am very familiar with the 500X. Back in 2016 Autoblog had one for a year as our long term test vehicle. I drove that car everywhere, multiple trips up north in Michigan, and even tracked it at Gingerman Raceway for a few laps before the brakes started smoking.  The 2019 model I had in my driveway and the 2020 model I drove in the snow up in the mountains feel very similar to that car. The interior is stylish and surprisingly roomy. The greenhouse is airy.
