1990 560sec 100,000 Miles on 2040-cars
Williamsburg, Virginia, United States
|
Good day, ladies
and gentlemen. Up for sale is my 1990 560sec. My wife and I are having a
child, so unfortunately I am forced to sell this beautiful masterpiece
of a car for something that can accommodate a baby. I searched for two
years for a 560sec that was up to my requirements in terms of overall
condition, and I bought this one just over one year ago. I had no
intention of ever selling it, so I have put an impressive amount of time
and money into the car. Here's a brief history of the vehicle: I am technically the
third owner; however, the first owner sold it shortly after purchasing
it new, which if I recall correctly was in the year 1991. The second
owner was an elderly, wealthy lady living in Virginia Beach. She kept
this car in the garage at all times, and naturally she followed all the
routine maintenance. I didn't think twice about buying it from her, for I
had never seen a 560sec that was in such good condition. Since owning
the vehicle, I have replaced the following parts, many of which did not
necessarily need replacing buy which I replaced anyway simply to fulfill
my tendency to be extremely particular about my cars. Nearly all of
these parts are original equipment, meaning they are the same
manufacturer of parts that Mercedes uses: - Hydraulic fluid - Rear brake discs - Brake pads - PCV hose - Intake hoses - Spark plugs - Spark plug wires - Distributor cap - Distributor rotor - Rear differential fluid - Professional replacement of roof lining - Hood pad In
addition to these changes, I have also been extremely particular about
changing the oil, oil filter, and air filter. I have also spent a great
deal of time buffing out paint imperfections, though there still remain a
few scratches and there is one small dent/ding on the front quarter
panel. I recently bought a new genuine Mercedes "560sec" badge, but I
have not had time to replace it yet (the "5" on the "560sec" badge is
chipped, which is why I bought a new one. The antenna on this car does not go up or down, a very
common issue with this car. A replacement is not expensive. Also, there
is some delamination on the rear glass which gives the glass an icy
appearance on the bottom corners, which are also a very common problem
with this car, so much so that nearly every 560sec or 560sel that I have
seen has this issue. From what I can tell, all of the seals are in top
shape, which is naturally attributed to the fact that this car has been
garaged at all times. I also have a car cover that I use when I am
forced to park it outdoors. To keep the carpets in like new condition, I
place towels on the floor. There are no signs of rust that I am aware
of, which is extremely rare for this body style being that they are
notoriously prone to rust. I recommend changing the front brake discs. I
just received some in the mail and I will include them with the
purchase. The tires are good for awhile longer, though you may want to
consider changing them. Good tires for this car are not expensive. You will not find a 560sec that has been loved as much as
this one, nor will you likely find one in this good of condition. If
you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. -

European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year
Tue, Dec 16 2014There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.

Mercedes-Benz intros long-wheelbase E-Class for China
Thu, 25 Apr 2013Long-wheelbase sedans are a pretty hot commodity in China, and to keep up with the competition, Mercedes-Benz has introduced an extended version of the 2014 E-Class sedan at the Shanghai Motor Show. Audi, BMW, Volvo and even Cadillac offer extended versions of sedans specific to the Chinese market, and now the E-Class L, shown off in E400L guise, will give luxury sedan buyers in China yet another option.
Compared to the standard 2014 E-Class sedan, the new China-spec E-Class L has been stretched by 5.5 inches - all of which goes to the rear-seat passengers. According to an article on China View from earlier in the year, the market for chauffeur-driven cars is growing in the Asian nation, so automakers need long-wheelbase models like the E-Class L in order to fully compete. As for what powers this stretched E-Class, it's available in three models: the diesel E260L, the V6-powered E300L and the E400 Hybrid.
The redesigned E-Class and the all-new A-Class are just the first of 20 new Mercedes-Benz products that will be introduced into the Chinese auto market by 2015. Scroll down for the full press release on long-wheelbase E.
Mercedes-AMG GT attacks Circuit of the Americas
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Mercedes-Benz is having a banner year with its Formula One team. Through 2014, the constructor has 454 championship points; ahead of its nearest competitor (Red Bull-Renault) by a margin of 182 tally marks. We're sure they can almost taste the champagne.
It's fitting then, and a little big cocky in a good way, that Mercedes has released a video of its newest sports car at an F1 venue. In this case, the car is the lovely Mercedes-AMG GT S, and the racetrack is Austin's Circuit of the Americas.
Having seen the official photo set and scratched the surface of the technical specifications earlier this week, we're excited to finally hear the thing run. As you might guess, the deployment of 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque from the twin-turbo V8 is a motivating experience. Crank up your volume, and hit that play button. (Oh, and Mercedes shot the thing in 4K, too, so those of you with expensive televisions/monitors should take heed to the settings.)
