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: 

- Radiator
- Fan clutch
- Fan blade
- A/C charge and inspection
- Monovalve
- Hydraulic accumulators
- Bilstein shock absorbers
- Voltage regulator
- Fuel filter
- Transmission oil filter, seal and transmission oil change
- 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.

Geely plans to launch hundreds of satellites to guide autonomous cars

Wed, Mar 4 2020

BEIJING — China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group said on Tuesday it was investing 2.27 billion yuan ($326 million) in a new satellite manufacturing plant, where it plans to build low-orbit satellites to provide more accurate data for self-driving cars. Geely, one of China's most internationally-known companies due to its investments in Daimler, Volvo and Proton, is building the facilities in Taizhou, where it has car plants. It aims to produce 500 satellites a year by around 2025, with around 300 highly-skilled staff, it said in a statement. Geely's technology development arm, Geely Technology Group, launched Geespace to research, launch, and operate low-orbit satellites in 2018. Geespace will begin the launch of its commercial low-orbit satellite network by the end of this year, Geely said. Geely said low-orbit satellites would offer high speed internet connectivity, precise navigation, and cloud computing capabilities to cars with autonomous driving technology. Geely, which sold 2.18 million cars last year, is among global automakers from Tesla to Toyota to pursue autonomous driving technologies. It is building low-orbit satellites to meet demand for high-speed connectivity capabilities that can deliver fast software updates. From around 2025, Geely's cars will have more functions to connect to the satellites. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG officially teased in mini video

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

The followup to the Mercedes-Benz S550, the S63 AMG, will sport a biturbocharged V8 that will likely turn out around 550 horsepower. The new engine is probably the 5.5-liter, biturbocharged V-8 that's been popping up in everything from the ML63 to the E63 AMG. The front fascia is more aggressive, which shouldn't come as a surprise, while a meaty exhaust setup can be found out back.
We managed to pick all that up from a short, 17-second video posted by MB. The original video that unveiled the S63 AMG has since been pulled down, making this YouTube clip the best look we now have at the new super sedan, at least until the Germans give up the goods for real.
Be sure to check out the video below, along with our original posting on the S63 AMG.
