Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
--------------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!.

Lexus NX, BMW i3 to get Super Bowl commercials
Mon, Jan 19 2015At this point last year, we'd been getting news on automotive-focused Super Bowl commercials for more than two months. The teasers hadn't come out yet, but manufacturers lined up for the super-expensive spots were making their intentions known. This year? Almost nada, until this week. BMW has said it will air a 60-second spot promoting the i3 during the first quarter of the game, the Munich firm returning to The Big Game after a four-year absence. BMW says, "Big ideas like the BMW i3 take a little getting used to, and the creative idea surrounding our spot will play on this analogy." We say that pitching a tiny range-extended hatchback during the beer-iest American sports orgy of the year should make for some neat commentary afterward. Lexus is putting its new NX crossover in the second Super Bowl commercial it's ever aired, eschewing the glitter of celebrities and glamor for a straight-shooting spot and the tagline, "Be seen, be heard, make some noise." Joining those two are Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan and Toyota. The six confirmed carmakers are down from eleven last year, when car spots made up a quarter of the total ad time. The price to do business for 30 seconds this year: reportedly around $4.5 million, up a stacks from last year's $4 million. You can watch the Lexus commercial in the video above, and beneath that, the BMW press release below has a bit more information on its effort. BMW to Advertise All-Electric BMW i3 during Super Bowl XLIX. The all-electric BMW i3 is featured in a 60-second spot during Super Bowl XLIX on Sunday, February 1, 2015. Woodcliff Lake, NJ – January 15, 2015... Today, BMW announced plans to feature the all-electric BMW i3 in a 60-second spot during Super Bowl XLIX on Sunday, February 1, 2015. After a 4-year hiatus, BMW will be returning to the big game with a commercial during the first quarter. "As one in three Americans will tune in to watch the Super Bowl, we are thrilled to use this platform to educate viewers on the importance of electric mobility," said Trudy Hardy, Vice President of Marketing, BMW of North America. "Big ideas like the BMW i3 take a little getting used to, and the creative idea surrounding our spot will play on this analogy." BMW i is BMW's forward-looking and sustainable brand dedicated to solving many of the mobility challenges faced by the world's most densely populated cities. The BMW i3 is the first of the BMW i vehicles constructed from the ground up primarily of carbon fiber.
Race Recap: 2016 European GP was a cakewalk for Rosberg
Mon, Jun 20 2016Formula 1 teams had no setup data or tire information for the six-kilometer Baku City Circuit hosting the European Grand Prix, and that's the reason for much of the weekend's excitement. Nico Rosberg snatched pole position after Mercedes-AMG Petronas teammate Lewis Hamilton hit the wall during qualifying. When the lights went out, Rosberg put in a clinical drive way out front to score his second career grand slam: pole position, leading every lap, fastest lap, and victory. Sebastian Vettel put in a similarly lonely drive in his Ferrari to second. The German had little to do on track other than get around his teammate on Lap 28, and that came courtesy of team orders. Sergio Perez started from second on the grid, but a gearbox change after clouting the wall during Free Practice dropped him to seventh. The Mexican cut his way through the field after his sole pit stop on Lap 17 of the 51-lap race, passing Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen for third on the final lap. It's Perez's second podium in three races after finishing third in Monaco. Force India has five podium finishes in its eight-year history, and Perez's name is on four of them. Raikkonen followed in fourth. Stewards hit the Finn with a five-second penalty for crossing the pit-entry line during the race, so even if Perez hadn't passed him on track, Raikkonen would have been classified fourth. Hamilton's up-and-down weekend ended with a burst of radio messages and a whimper. He climbed from tenth on the grid to fifth in the race, then his energy recovery system began harvesting in the wrong places. The snafu cost Hamilton two seconds per lap compared to the leaders. The trouble came from a switch turned to the incorrect position, but the FIA ban on driver assistance meant Hamilton's engineer couldn't tell the driver how to fix the problem. At one point when Hamilton said he was going to reset the whole car, his engineer replied, "Um, we don't advise that, Lewis." Hamilton finally found the proper setting on Lap 43, but turned the engine down again when he realized he couldn't catch the leaders. Mercedes said that Rosberg had the same issue, but Rosberg fixed it on his own. Valtteri Bottas got his Williams across the line four seconds behind Hamilton. Red Bull teammates Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen couldn't get their tires to work, forcing both racers to pit twice before finishing seventh and eighth.
Race recap: 2016 Hungarian Grand Prix was the pits
Mon, Jul 25 2016The Hungarian Grand Prix hasn't seen a race this calculated since 2012, when Lewis Hamilton – driving for McLaren – led from pole position to the checkered flag. We don't expect massive action from the Hungaroring, but Hamilton's first win for Mercedes in 2013, the thrilling wet mess in 2014, and Ferrari's surprising dominance in 2015 made us hope for more on-track commotion this year. Hungary denied us that. Hamilton parked his Mercedes-AMG Petronas in second on the grid but stole the lead through Turn 1 and never looked back. Teammate Nico Rosberg yo-yoed behind him in second place, getting into DRS range on a few occasions but never close enough to pass. Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo kept the leading duo honest, but the Aussie couldn't put genuine fear into the German team and finished third. This is the third year in a row for Ricciardo on the Hungary podium. The pits provided our few scraps of excitement. During a stretch when Ricciardo managed to close on Rosberg, Mercedes told Hamilton to speed up. When Hamilton said he couldn't go faster, Mercedes said they'd pit second-place Rosberg first instead. Suddenly, Hamilton found the extra pace. Ricciardo pitted in early, hoping that fresh tires and fast laps could allow him to pass one or both Mercedes drivers when they pitted, but once Hamilton hit the throttle the Red Bull couldn't respond. Further down the lineup, Jenson Button came in on Lap 5 so McLaren could fix his brake pedal problem. The radio exchange before the stop included one forbidden instruction to Button, though, so the Englishman had to return to the pits for a drive-through penalty. Renault's Jolyon Palmer beat Force India's Nico Hulkenberg in a straight-up pit stop battle on Lap 40, but threw the good work away on Lap 49 with a spin on track that cost him three places. A pit wall miscommunication meant the Force India pit crew wasn't ready for Sergio Perez when the Mexican arrived for his second stop on Lap 43. And Daniel Kvyat's regrettable run at Toro Rosso continued, first with car issues, then a drive-through penalty for speeding in the pit lane. Sebastian Vettel brought his Ferrari home fourth, sniffing Ricciardo's gearbox at the flag but unable to get around the Red Bull. Max Verstappen enacted a replay of the final stages of the Spanish Grand Prix, finishing fifth by holding Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen behind for 19 laps.
