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. -

Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 to debut in Monterey
Mon, Aug 15 2016Mercedes surprised the car world last week when it teased an enormous, Maybach-badged coupe concept. Now we have a name and a debut date. Mercedes released the info in a second teaser image posted to its Facebook page. Called the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 – "Vision" equals concept and "6" denotes the length in meters – the new two-door will debut at Pebble Beach on Thursday. So yeah, here's another reason to get excited about Monterey Car Week. As for the teaser image, it's a head-on shot as opposed to the profile view that Mercedes released last week. The new view supports our theory that the super-skinny mirrors are cameras, and the shot also reveals new styling touches. The most noticeable are the very thin, un-Mercedes-like headlights – they flank a prominent, heavily polished waterfall grille that marks a significant departure from recent Mercedes products. A traditional Mercedes hood ornament sits above the grille's small "Maybach" designation. Kicking up the exposure in Photoshop doesn't reveal too much more detail – unlike last week's profile image – aside from a set of chrome strips that run along the sides of the hood. Autoblog's Monterey Car Week crew ships out for the left coast soon – expect more on the festivities, including the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6's debut, later this week.

Veneno Roadster, One:1, One-77, LaFerrari, P1, Veyron headline 25-car Bonham's auction
Mon, Jun 24 2019Bonhams is holding a no-reserve auction in fall 2019 that includes some of the most valuable and sought-after supercars of the past decade. The lot of 25 beautiful collector items includes a Lamborghini Veneno Roadster, a Koenigsegg One:1, an Aston Martin One-77, a Ferrari LaFerrari, a McLaren P1, and a Bugatti Veyron. The collection, which was seized from a corrupt politician from Equatorial Guinea, is valued at roughly $13 million. If selling off future classics that are still in their infancy as collector items seems strange, it's because this is not a straightforward situation. These cars will be sold off by the State of Geneva, not a person. The collection was previously owned by the vice president of Equatorial Guinea, Teodoro Obiang, but the cars were seized when he was placed under investigation for money laundering and unfair management of public interests. These 25 cars, which were located in Geneva, were first sequestered in fall 2016. A trial court ordered them sold off, and the money earned from the sales would be invested in social programs that benefit Equatorial Guinea. And so, Equatorial Guinea is about to see an influx of cash, as every vehicle is valued in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars. The rarest might be the Koenigsegg One:1. One of only six remaining, it has 371 miles on the dial, and is valued at roughly $1.8 million. The Lamborghini Veneno Roadster, one of nine in the world, is a close second. It has 202 miles logged, and is valued at about $5.1 million. The Aston Martin One-77 is another rare bird. It is example No. 35 of 77, holds a 7.3-liter V12 engine, and is valued at about $1.4 million. A McLaren P1, Ferrari LaFerrari, and Bugatti Veyron 16.4 round out the top of the list. The remaining cars are not fully detailed, but they include examples from Mercedes-Maybach, Bentley, Maserati and Porsche. The auction will take place on Sunday, Sept. 29, at the Bonmont Golf & Country Club near Lake Geneva. For more photos and information, visit Bonhams.
SRT Viper dukes it out with Mercedes SLS Black Series in new Head 2 Head
Fri, 05 Jul 2013In Episode 36 of Motor Trend's Head 2 Head, now that the Corvette ZR1 is no more, Jonny Lieberman has to look overseas to the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series for a challenger with similar philosophy to the SRT Viper: long hood hiding a high-horsepower engine set way back, rear-wheel drive, tiny trunks. That puts the Viper's 8.4-liter V10 with 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque against the SLS AMG's 6.2-liter V8 with 622 hp and 468 lb-ft.
However, the congruences in philosophy and magnitude of numbers doesn't translate to the driving experiences of the two, which are literally and figuratively on different continents. Lieberman gets a handle on the two of them on Northern California roads, Randy Probst then finds out how, and how quickly, they can lap Laguna Seca.
They both get kudos for being improvements on their original sources, but only one of them can take the win. You can find out by watching the video below.
