--------------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.

How long will the 'golden age' of performance last?

Sat, Mar 26 2016

High-powered sports and luxury cars were everywhere at the New York Auto Show, prompting the obvious question for enthusiasts: How long will this golden age of performance last? Industry leaders have some time before regulations elevate the Corporate Average Fuel Economy level in 2025. Even then, they expect cars rippling with power to survive in some form. "Is it the end of an era," I don't think so," said Ola Kallenius, Daimler AG board member for Mercedes-Benz cars marketing and sales. "That performance element of individual mobility I don't think will ever go away." Kallenius, who oversaw the company's AMG division from 2010-2013, expects it to continue to grow. Last year, AMG sold a record 68,875 units around the world, an increase of 44.6 percent over 2014, with strong growth in the US, China, and Germany. Still, there's always the potential for gas to spike, and pending fuel economy regulations are looming. That could lead AMG to add electrification to its products, Kallenius said, pointing to the electric SLS as a test case. Chevy is also thinking ahead, said Al Oppenheiser, chief engineer of the Camaro. He wouldn't bite when asked about electrification for the Camaro (he did say "never say never"), but admitted in 2025 "it's going to be pretty tough to sell V8s." For now, things are rosy for muscle cars, and Chevy confidently showcased the 640-hp Camaro ZL1 in coupe and convertible form in New York. "I think that this is truly the golden age of performance," Oppenheiser said. It's hard to disagree. News & Analysis News: The 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF was a show-stopper in New York. Analysis: There was a palpable energy when this RF — for Retractable Fastback — was revealed the night before the show at a trendy off-site venue near the Hudson River. Even as a parade of SUVs and flashy luxury cars rolled out the rest of the week, the Miata remained a hot topic. The Retractable Fastback is really a clever targa top, with part of the roof stowing behind the seats, adding about 100 pounds compared to the standard convertible. It makes the car more practical and arguably more attractive. The RF continues Mazda's tradition of selling the Miata with a hardtop variant. The first and second generations offered a detachable one, and a power retractable hardtop (a $1,700 option) was available on third-gen models. Judging by its reception in New York, the RF could prove to be even more popular than its predecessors.

Regulators consider adding more carmakers to Takata recall

Tue, Sep 29 2015

Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has been getting a lot of press recently, but the Takata airbag inflator affair could be grabbing headlines again soon. According to Bloomberg, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is contemplating an expansion to the campaign that could add seven automakers to the 12 already affected. They are Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Spartan Motors, Suzuki, Tesla, Volvo Trucks, and VW Group. To be clear, there's no recall for any of these automakers, yet. The government is simply asking for a full list of vehicles that each of them have with Takata-supplied inflators containing ammonium nitrate propellant. The agency is concerned this substance could play a roll in the ruptures. "NHTSA is considering not only whether to issue an administrative order that would coordinate the remedy programs associated with the current Takata recalls, but also whether such an order should include expansion of the current recalls," the letters say. All seven can be viewed, here. From a report supplied by Takata, the government already knows that the company supplied 887,055 inflators with ammonium-nitrate propellant to VW and 184,926 of them to Tesla. In an incident during the summer, a side airbag allegedly burst in a 2015 VW Tiguan. In early September, NHTSA put out a revised report that there were 23.4 million inflators to be replaced in 19.2 million vehicles in the US. An earlier accounting from the agency had about 34 million of the parts in 30 million cars. High humidity is still believed to be among the biggest risk factors for the ruptures. Although, if ammonium nitrate also gets the blame, some already recalled models might need to be repaired again. Related Video:

Recharge Wrap-up: Cool new Euro VI railroader Unimog, Car2go hearts charity

Wed, Aug 6 2014

Mercedes-Benz's mega-cool road-railer Unimog now boasts Euro VI compliance. Used for railroad track maintenance and train shunting work, this diesel-powered Unimog offers about a 90-percent improvement in particulate emissions over the Euro V. The new engine also offers improved efficiency. It provides 231 horsepower, and with eight forward and eight reverse gears, it can travel up to 31 miles per hour in either direction. It also has new in-cabin features that make it easier to use for the driver. Read more about the new road-railer Unimog in the press release below. Carsharing group Car2go has launched a donation feature within its mobile app, called "ride2provide." The feature lets users find "heart cars," which, when used, include a $1 donation to Whole Planet Foundation. The money raised by the ride2provide program goes towards the Whole Planet Foundation's mission of providing microcredit to the poor for creating or expanding home-based businesses. Car2go's ride2provide program started August 4, and runs for 90 days. Learn more in the press release below. China continues to pave the way for more EVs, but some people are still skeptical they'll catch on. Charging station operators will be forgiven some of their electricity fees until 2020, said the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC). China has already extended tax exemptions on EVs through 2017. The NDRC is also urging local governments to offer subsidies and free charging. Still, the costs involved with installing chargers are keeping many from doing it, and many consumers are hesitant to become early adopters of EVs.
