1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL

 

This flagship Mercedes-Benz is one of the last of those that were hand-built entirely in Germany!  The fit, finish and quality of this car is extraordinary, and represents the foundation on which Mercedes-Benz built its legendary reputation!

 

If you’re looking for a nice, clean, well-maintained and reliable Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL, this is it!

 

This is a No Reserve auction, meaning that the highest bidder at the end of the auction wins, regardless of the final price!

 

This 560 SEL is loaded with options including a powerful 279 HP 5.6L V8 engine, Automatic Transmission, Automatic Climate Control, Air Conditioning, Leather 8-way Memory Power Front Seats and Dual Stage Heat, Leather Power Reclining Rear Seats with Heat, Driver and Passenger Front Airbags, Four wheel ABS Disc Brakes, Power Sliding Sunroof, Cruise Control, Power Steering, Power Door Locks, Power Windows, Chrome Wheels, Premium Sound System with DVD Player, CD Changer, Tinted Glass, and Anti-Theft Alarm.

 

The body is in very good condition, as is depicted in the several, unedited pictures below.  The car has always been garaged-kept and pampered.  The only spot of rust that can be found is a small blister by the front, passenger-side headlight.  Other than this one, isolated spot, there is no other rust on the car.  This is true for the underside of the car as well, which is completely rust-free.

 

The interior is clean and inviting.  All of the switches and electronics function exactly as they should.  The original radio was replaced with a touch-screen radio/CD/DVD player, which also has a built-in back-up camera (not connected).  Additionally, there is a six-disc CD changer in the trunk that is controlled with an in-dash control unit as well.  The only blemish is a small wear spot in the left bolster of the driver’s seat.  Other than this, the interior is practically flawless.   

 

This car was primarily used for daily, long, highway commutes, as the mileage accurately reflects.  It is not uncommon for 560’s to accumulate well in excess of 500k miles, with proper maintenance, which this car has consistently received.  There are no warning lights displayed on the dash and the engine starts at the turn of the key, is quiet, steady and delivers smooth power throughout the entire rev range.  All of the wheels and tires are well-balanced and the car drives perfectly straight down the road.  The brakes were just serviced, including new rear brake calipers and pads, and firmly stop the car without any shaking or vibration.  

Overall, this is an extremely sturdy, thoroughly maintained and very well cared for example of the legendary Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL.  I wouldn’t hesitate to get into this car today and drive it anywhere!

 

A non-refundable $500 deposit by credit/debit card or bank account through PayPal is due within 24 hours after the close of the auction.  The remaining balance must be paid within five business days via bank wire transfer, or cash.  This car is being sold AS-IS, with no warranty stated or implied in any way.  I’m happy to help with shipping arrangements, but this will ultimately be the responsibility of the winning bidder.  If you should have any additional questions about this car that haven’t been covered in the description, please ask me.  The car is available to be seen and test driven, which I fully encourage; however, please arrange to do this before the auction is completed.


Please note that I have blocked buyers from bidding that do not have a Paypal account.  If you do not have a Paypal account, but would like to bid, please contact me.

 

Thank you for looking and best of luck in the auction!

Best car infotainment systems: From UConnect to MBUX, these are our favorites

Sun, Jan 7 2024

Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried all car infotainment systems what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. For the most part, the various infotainment systems available all share a similar purpose. They aim to help the driver get where they're going with navigation, play their favorite tunes via all sorts of media playback options and allow folks to stay connected with others via phone connectivity. Of course, most go way beyond the basics these days and offer features like streaming services, in-car performance data and much more. Unique features are aplenty when you start diving through menus, but how they go about their most important tasks vary widely. Some of our editors prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based and chock full of boundary-pushing features. Others may prefer a back-to-basics non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best infotainment overall: UConnect 5, various Stellantis products Ram 1500 Uconnect Infotainment System Review If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu.

The Mercedes-Maybach Pullman Guard is a limo with a bulletproof vest

Thu, Sep 22 2016

As fabulously plush as the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman is, there is a certain class of individual for which luxury is only part of the equation. Oligarchs, dictators, kingpins of questionable businesses, and probably some legitimate world leaders all love luxury, but they sometimes face some hairy commutes that demand a bit more protection. For them, the answer to their luxury car needs is the armored Pullman Guard. The Mercedes-Maybach Pullman Guard tops the line of S-Class Guard models that also includes the Mercedes-Benz S600 Guard and the Mercedes-Maybach S600 Guard. Like the non-armored Pullman it packs loads of leather, seats with practically infinite adjustability, and redundant gauges for rear passengers. It is also by far the longest S-Class vehicle available, stretching more than 40 inches longer than the next-longest Mercedes-Maybach. This tremendous length allows the Pullman Guard to have four-passenger seating in the rear, with two seats facing two others. It's the perfect place to sign treaties or entertain diplomats. Or, if foreign affairs aren't your speed, it would also be a convenient place to carve up territory, issue ultimatums to enemies, and intimidate dissidents. The Pullman Guard was developed alongside the standard Pullman, and because of that, the added armor does not sacrifice interior space. The armor does affect weight, though. The Pullman Guard weighs over 11,000 pounds. But, in return, the steel plates on the sides and floor, non-Kevlar-brand high-strength fabrics, and polycarbonate-backed windows protect occupants from bullets and explosives. Plus, the Pullman Guard features a twin-turbo V12 that produces 530 horsepower and 612 lb-ft of torque to haul the added ballast around. If a recognized authority is ordering a Pullman Guard, Mercedes also offers sirens, flashing lights, two-way radios, an emergency starter battery, and a loudspeaker system. These items are sure to be useful when trying to navigate seas of protestors in the streets. All of this extra protection will cost you though, and if you have to ask, you definitely can't afford it. But we'll tell you the price anyway. A standard Pullman will run around $500,000 at current exchange rates. For the Guard model, be prepared to shell out about $1.56 million. It's a steep price for sure, but for those whose pampered lives are in danger, it's probably worth it.

Mercedes calls CLA 'best launch in 20 years' as it warns dealers of tight supplies

Fri, 13 Dec 2013

It's still in the early going, but it's looking more and more like the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA is a verifiable home run for the German brand. According to a new report from Bloomberg, the new small car isn't just widening the sales gap between Mercedes and BMW, it's attracting a new, younger breed of customers into the brand's showrooms. But that early success is straining supplies of the turbocharged four-door.
Dealers have been warned that the first half of 2014 will see limited supplies for CLA, with a letter to dealers indicating that "tight inventories and low days supply" will exist from February through June, despite the car's Kecskemét, Hungary plant running at full tilt.
"This is our best launch in 20 years," said Steve Cannon, the US boss for Mercedes. "The CLA has been a phenomenal success right out of the gate." The numbers certainly support that. We reported in early October that Mercedes moved 2,300 CLAs in its first week on sale, and now Bloomberg is saying CLA sales were almost singlehandedly responsible for Benz's November sales gains. Mercedes' annual sales are up 14 percent through the November, and it's enjoying a healthy 7,600-car lead over BMW.
