I am selling a 1989 Mercedes Benz 560 SEC. Awesome car, when I found it it had been stored in a garage for 6 years untouched. I brought it home, put a new fuel pump in, flushed the gas and oil, checked the entire car out thoroughly, and drove it. I have put about 3,000 miles on the car with no problems. I had intended to fully restore this car but am having a baby now and don't have the time or money to finish it so it is time to find it a new home. I haven't really done anything with the vehicle yet so it is basically in its unrestored condition and will need a good cleaning. The body looks great with no rust, I would say 9/10. Not perfect, a couple dings, but very good. Drivers side fog light will need replaced. The interior will need some work. The drivers seat has 2 large tears in it, but the heated seats both work so could be repaired. Also the seat belt extender on the passenger side is broken off, have the pieces to it but will probably need replaced. The roll top over the center console is broken up, pieces are in the center console. Headliner is good all the way to the back where it has started to separate, will need adhesive or replaced, but it is not too bad. All electronics, windows, and sunroof work fine and don't leak. Radio is original and only works on driver side, I suspect the fader control in the center consolde. Mechanically car runs great but has a couple issues. Idle is high when the car warms up, about 1200 rpm. I think this is due to the vacuum system needing to be gone through. Idle is a little rough sometimes but not always. Should have general tuneup plugs and wires replaced. Reverse engages right away when cold but takes longer to engage the longer the car is driven, all forward gears work just fine. Will need a rebuild soon, kit available for around $400.00 and not overly difficult job. Suspension a little noisy but not too bad.I am offering the car as a no reserve auction. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at any time and I encourage you to come check the car out before bidding.

Thanks!

Matt

Aston or Bust? Maybach's fate to be decided next month

Mon, 13 Jun 2011

2011 Maybach 62 - Click above for high-res image gallery
What will become of Maybach? That question has been rattling around the halls of Daimler headquarters in Stuttgart for some time now. But all questions will be answered, and answered soon: according to reports, the German automaker is currently evaluating prototypes and propositions for its top-end marque, and will make its decision next month.
So, what are the options? On the one hand, Daimler could kill the Maybach brand altogether. It was a notion ill conceived and even more poorly executed, taking an old platform and building a new flagship atop it. In that way, it was sort of like the Chrysler Crossfire, only far more costly to both the buyer and manufacturer. On the other hand, Daimler could opt for the long-time-coming proposition of contracting the production (and possibly much of the development) of a new generation of Maybachs to Aston Martin.

Mercedes-Petronas AMG W04 launched to little fanfare, lots of pressure [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

No indoor cocktail hour for the launch of the W04, the newest chassis built by the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One team. Instead, Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton spent a morning in photo and video sessions at the track in Jerez, Spain then paused a moment to introduce the car. The team will want the W04 to demonstrate the World Championship credentials of the team personnel and one of the team drivers, instead of the mostly humble performances we've seen over the past three years.
The W04 has been fitted with a new five-element front wing, pushrod front and pull-rod rear suspension, a second-generation Coanda exhaust and an "aggressively packaged" rear end. A small vanity panel, à la Infiniti Red Bull's RB9, covers the stepped nose.
Team principal Ross Brawn has called it "a clear step forward in design and detail sophistication," but as much as we truly respect Brawn's abilities and achievements, we heard him say similar things about the updated W03 last year before almost every race weekend from about mid-season. We really hope he's right this time, and so does the team's newest driver, Lewis Hamilton. We'll do our best to ignore the parallels of the Mercedes F1 team having signed a sponsorship deal with Blackberry, another company trying to find its way back to the top and still struggling, and just point you to the video below of the W04 in action.
