1991 Mercedes Benz 560 Sel on 2040-cars
Elmhurst, Illinois, United States
Up for your consideration is an very-good to excellent condition 1991 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL. This vehicle is being offered by its second owners. They purchased it from a certified pre-owned Mercedes-Benz dealer late in the summer of 1998. A cherished daily driver, the second owner maintained this car very, very well. All service history is documented with a stack of service receipts totaling nearly $25,000 over the last 15+ years. All oil changes, maintenance and repairs were done by certified Mercedes-Benz technicians. In 2011, the second owner passed away and this vehicle was put in to a climate-controlled storage facility, where it was properly looked after. The battery was maintained, fuel was stabilized and it was regularly started and run to maintain the vehicle's integrity. The car's exterior and interior were also periodically cleaned and refurbished as necessary. In January of this year, storage of this vehicle became no longer available and the family of the second owner has decided to sell it. The 1991 Mercedes 560 SEL was the last of the 126-series chassis. It represented luxury at its finest in 1991 and this behemoth represents perhaps the last of the great "touring" cars produced by Mercedes-Benz. Aesthetically, the design is pure, classic Mercedes-Benz. These models are quickly appreciating on this basis and this particular car provides and excellent opportunity to own a classic. Technically, the performance of the 560 could be described as smooth, powerful, and quiet. As a fully-optioned vehicle in 1991 this car features adjustable front and rear power seats, power telescopic steering wheel, sun-roof, two-way heated front and rear seats, power self-leveling hydraulic shocks, Becker audio system with a 10-disc CD changer mounted in the trunk. Power windows and locks. Rear passenger reading lamps. This is the ultimate car for long-trips! All features appear to work on this vehicle, including the power antenna. The air-conditioning and climate control systems are also working quite well. The current Toyo tires have approximately 7,000 miles on them. Brakes function well with anti-lock system fully functional. Self-leveling hydraulic suspension also full engages when gear selector is changed from "Park" to "Drive" and vice-versa. Body-wise the car is very good. The original paint is good, but may benefit from an intense buff and wax to really bring out the shine. Chrome is excellent. Panels and all apertures are tight. Body has a few minor "dings" commensurate with he age of the car and use. Nothing major here. The only rust is two small spots where the front bumper attaches to the body on each side. This is not a serious issue but it should be noted. All power locks are properly aligned, lubricated and central locking system is operational. The interior is very good, with minor creasing and some surface cracks on the diver and front passenger seats and central arm rest. The rear passenger seats are in excellent condition. All the hides are in supple condition with no splits, or deep fissures requiring repair. Carpet pile is deep and and in good shape with no serious stains or wear. The car rides beautifully, with full power and good braking. Transmission shifts smoothly and quietly. The vehicle is sold "as-is", "where is". No warranty or guarantees offered or implied. Car has a clear title. Taxes, delivery, registration, and title are the responsibility of the buyer. A $500 deposit is due with 48-hours of the winning bid or offer. We expect the car to be paid for in total in 7 calendar days after that time, unless alternate arrangements have been made. We will assist in shipping but all arrangements are at the buyer's expense. We will not transfer title until purchase is paid in full. Wire transfer, certified check only. All funds must be in US-Dollars. Please do not offer any trades. Seller reserves the right to end this auction early as this car is being offered for sale locally. Car can be seen and driven by appointment only. Feel free to order an inspection PRIOR to your bid or offer. This is not a contingent sale. All sales final. I will be happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability in a timely manner. I can take further photos if you require and may post more if it ever stops snowing! All reasonable offers considered. Clean CARFAX report is available.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon is one hot hauler [w/video]
Thu, 28 Mar 2013Mentioned at the debut of the redesigned Mercedes-Benz E-Class back in January, Mercedes has finally pulled back the curtain on the E63 AMG S, which was on display at the New York Auto Show in wagon guise. The 2014 E63 AMG S ups the ante even more from a "base" E63 AMG, improving the car's performance and styling - not that it needed help with either to begin with.
Our favorite S-model upgrade is the added output tweaked out of the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 577 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, which represents a substantial gain of 27 hp and 59 lb-ft of torque over the stock E63. In wagon form, the E63 AMG S can run from 0-60 miles per hour in just 3.6 seconds and hit an electronically limited top speed of 186 mph. All 2014 E63 AMGs come with Mercedes' 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, but the S-Model adds in a limited-slip rear differential for improved performance.
Mercedes has made sure that the extra money being spent on the S-Model is instantly noticeable with slightly different design cues and black along with 10-spoke wheels with red brake calipers peeking through. Plenty of silver-chrome and high-gloss black accents finish off the exterior styling, while the interior adds Alcantara on the steering wheel, accent stitching on the leather and contrasting silver seat belts on models with the black interior. Scroll down for an official video and press release.
Aston or Bust? Maybach's fate to be decided next month
Mon, 13 Jun 20112011 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 rolls out the long red carpet for new Maybach S600 Pullman [w/video]
Tue, Mar 3 2015Remember when the S-Class was the S-Class and that was it? The pinnacle of the Mercedes-Benz lineup, at least as far as sedans were concerned. But those days are long behind us. Now there's a coupe as well (bringing the former CL back into the fold), a convertible on its way, the uber-luxe Maybach limo and this: the new Pullman. The creme de la creme of the Silver Star range, His Excellency Field Marshall Dr. Mercedes-Maybach S600 Pullman Dada – as it's known in full, at least with the twelve-cylinder engine – is... well, it's enormous. It's bigger than the old Maybach 62 it essentially replaces and bigger even than an extended-wheelbase Rolls-Royce Phantom. And why would you need a vehicle so large? Well, you wouldn't. And neither would we. But there are some, shall we call them "unelected heads of state" who would accept no less. They're the customers who favored the original, and 50 years later, they're the ones who'll be snapping up the new one. (The little wavy flags on the front fenders are optional.)
