For your consideration, the last
of the true German made luxury classics. The flag ship for the 1991
model year is considered by collectors to be the finest example of Mercedes engineering and refinement. After 1991 these cars were
made either here in America or in Canada. This was the very last year
they were built in Germany.
This 22 year old beauty has been lovingly maintained over the years
and has averaged less than 5,000 miles a year over her life time. She
is one of, (if not they) nicest 560 SEL's on the East Coast. Included
is the original window sticker and every single maintenance record
dating back to the original purchase. The car is from Las Vegas
(originally purchased from Fletcher Jones Imports, Las Vegas NV). She
has only been in the Philadelphia area for 2 years, always garage kept.
Runs great, drives very smoothly, perfect daily driver for the
discerning individual who desires the status and luxury that comes from
only the finest Mercedes Benz ever built.
EVERY THING works on this car as it should. When I purchased her
in Feb of 2013 I had her completely gone over by a Mercedes factory
authorized master mechanic and fixed or replaced any and all issues that
can sometimes problematic after 20 years. I purchased this same model
new in 1991 and drove it for over 250K miles before parting with her and
it was one of few cars I have every regretted parting with. This one
was bought with the full intention of driving her and keeping her for
many more years. My ONLY reason for selling her is that I am now
restoring two classic cars for my own private collection and will not
have the garage space for her over the winter. I can't stand the idea of
her sitting outside. So it is time for some one else to enjoy her
comforts.
Work recently completed:
- Rear leveling system replaced ($4000 worth of part and labor)
- New Shocks
- Brakes replaced
- Fan Motor Clutch
- New fuel tank (old tank had a pin hole leak and did not want to just patch it)
- New injectors (yes she is a full injected V-8...that's what the "E" in SEL stands for).
- New Heater Core (heat and air blow hot in winter, icy cold in summer).
- Transmission completely rebuilt like new
- Complete tune up with Spark plugs, wires and rotor and distributor replaced
- New battery
- New dark window tinting (PA legal).
- Professionally detailed every 2 weeks. Paint is original and in VERY good shape.
- Pennsylvania inspection (safety + emissions) good through December of 2013
The one and only "flaw" in the car is a minor tear in the window
pillar vinyl. A common problem for this make and year and can easily be
repaired by an upholsterer. I have included a photo of this.
This was a sentimental restoration for me and I know that I have
more in her than she will sell for (almost $12K). My reserve is set at
just over 1/2 that amount and she is worth every penny of that. I have
listed her on EBAY twice before and every one is looking to steal this
car for $3500-$4000. That's not going to happen. Hemmings Motor news
recently had an article on this year,,make and model stating "the 1991
Mercedes 560 SEL is the epitome of classic Mercedes Benz style,
prestige, comfort and luxury". "True collectors have missed out on the
potential of the finest example of flag ship engineering that Mercedes
has produced in over 50 year". The car's value has stayed constant over
the last 5 year but will only increase in years to come.
Buyers must have a current Pay-Pal account and will be responsible
for a $500 deposit with in 48 hours of the end of bidding. The rest
will be due as either a bank check or wire transfer on time of pick up
or delivery. I am more than happy assist in finding a reputable
shipper (I have shipped many cars over the last 20 years) , BUT shipping
costs will be solely on the buyer.
I do have the car listed locally and reserve the right to end this
auction at any time. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have either via email or call 484-639-2717. Enjoy the bidding, and more important enjoy the car. Thank you On Oct-22-13 at 19:44:28 PDT, seller added the following information: I've received several emails letting me know of a mistake in this listing regarding the exterior color of this vehicle. The correct color of the car is indeed white, as shown in the picture. I apologize for the mistake of listing it as black at the top of the listing in the description part of the listing. Once again, the vehicle is WHITE with gray interior. |

2015 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe
Wed, Dec 17 2014Conventional wisdom would dictate that adding more power and several key performance enhancements to an already very good car, like the 2015 Mercedes-Benz S550 Coupe, will end up equaling an even better car. In the case of the 2015 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe, conventional wisdom sort of applies, but perhaps not as much as we'd have initially guessed. We'll get into the nitty gritty details in just a moment, but here's the most immediate takeaway we had in our minds as we walked away from this super coupe: The S63 AMG is excellent, but so is the slightly more mundane S550 Coupe on which it is based, and which is priced some $41,000 less expensive than its more powerful sibling. Chew on those figures while we examine what differentiates the two S-Class Coupes. Drive Notes As expected, the single greatest highlight of the 2015 S63 Coupe is its engine. As a powerplant, it's a gem. As a hand-built engineering exercise, its 577 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque are just as impressive in real life as they sound when recited from stat sheets. Not that the old CL63 AMG was lacking in power, but the new S63 AMG Coupe boasts 41 more horses and 74 more lb-ft than the outgoing engine. The run to 60 miles per hour takes a scant 3.9 seconds, according to M-B, aided in no small part by the car's 4Matic all-wheel-drive system and other assorted electronic brains deciding where, exactly, all those ponies should be sent. The rear-biased system is tuned to send two-thirds of the engine's power to the rear wheels in a bid to make the car feel more like what performance-minded drivers expect. Top speed is electronically limited to 186 miles per hour, which is plenty fast enough, even in the days of 200-plus-mph sedans from M-B's former corporate cousin Dodge. We didn't get anywhere near the car's maximum velocity, but our brief trips into triple-digit territory were quiet, comfortable and completely free of drama. The seven-speed automatic gearbox responds quickly to requests of your right foot, but the steering wheel-mounted paddles don't change gears as quickly as we'd like when in Manual mode. Controlled Efficiency (which we'd call Comfort) maximizes efficiency, keeping the transmission in higher gears and shifting earlier than when in Sport mode, and we didn't find much fault with the computer's shifting algorithms in either setting.
10 electric cars we’re excited are coming soon
Thu, Sep 22 2022If you were considering buying an electric vehicle a couple years ago, we wouldn't fault you for thinking your options were limited, both in terms of quantity and quality. You just might not have been able to find an electric car that would suit your needs, lifestyle or budget. With the newest generation of EVs that have launched in the past year or two, your options have changed — and improved — dramatically. If you still don't see an EV you like, just wait a little while longer. It won't take long. There are a whole lot more on the horizon, and the problem may soon be in narrowing down your options. To give you an example, here are 10 electric vehicles we're excited about that you'll be able to buy very soon, from GM, from Germany, from Japan and more. Some of these will be available by the end of the year, and all are expected to launch by the end of 2023. The Chevy trio: 2024 Blazer EV, Equinox EV and Silverado EV GM is stepping into the future with strong footing. Following high-end electric launches from GMC (Hummer EV) and Cadillac (Lyriq), Chevrolet is bringing three electric vehicles with familiar nameplates. The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV (above left) will offer a number of versions, starting with the 2LT and RS trims in the summer of 2023, followed by the 557-horsepower SS in the fall and the base 1LT in early 2024. The 2024 Chevy Equinox EV (above right) will go on sale in fall 2023 as a limited-edition model, with volume sales ramping up in 2024, with a base cost of “around $30,000.” For those who prefer a bed to a liftgate, the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV is an electric pickup that looks more like the old Chevy Avalanche than the current Silverado. The WT (work truck) trim launches in fall 2023, while the 664-horsepower RST will follow in 2024. Read more: 5 new electric car companies coming in 2023 and beyond 2023 BMW i7 BMW revealed the all-electric 2023 i7 luxury sedan alongside the gas-powered 7 Series. It should go on sale before the end of 2022. The i7 xDrive60 will be the only variant, with its two motors providing a total of 536 horsepower and 549 pound-feet of torque, and its battery expected to offer a range of about 300 miles. Just like its internal combustion counterpart, this full-size sedan wonÂ’t come cheap, with the i7 starting at $120,295. 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Following the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Genesis GV60, the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 will be the fourth car using Hyundai GroupÂ’s E-GMP electric car architecture.
Daimler, BMW partnering up on wireless charging
Tue, Jul 15 2014Plug-in vehicle advocates can get all warm and fuzzy about two Germany heavyweight automakers getting together for the sake of wireless charging. That's because Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler and BMW will work together to speed up development of a wireless charging system. While not a ton of details were divulged, we can still rejoice. Daimler says the system will consist of an on-board coil and another coil that can be placed within the garage floor or someplace similarly stationary. The system will charge at 3.6 kilowatts and with 90 percent efficiency. No details were released about the system's price or when it would be available, but Daimler shouldn't wait too long, since other OEMs are already talking about their own wireless charging systems. Daimler obviously has some skin in the game here, since Mercedes-Benz will start sales of its S500 plug-in hybrid in September. That model, which was first shown off last August at the Frankfurt Auto Show, can go as far as 20 miles on electric power alone and will get fuel economy of about 84 miles per gallon equivalent. And it's easy to imagine an i3 or i8 driver getting a kick out of never needing to touch a cord. This spring, reports sprung up that fellow German automaker Volkswagen was preparing a wireless charging option for its electric vehicles as soon as 2017. You can check out Daimler's press release below. Wireless charging of electric drive and plug-in hybrid vehicles: PLUG IN HYBRID - unplugged One of the next steps on the way to perfect electric drive and plug-in hybrid vehicles is wireless charging. Daimler and BMW have now agreed on jointly developing and implementing one common technology. Wireless charging of the battery will make the handling of electric drive and plug-in hybrid vehicles even easier. Mercedes-Benz will commence fleet testing of this "unplugged" technology with the S 500 Plug in HYBRID soon, in order to develop a real S-Class solution in recharging the high voltage battery in terms of comfort and ease of operating in the near future. The system consists of two components: a secondary coil integrated into the under tray of the car and a primary coil integrated into a floor plate that can be placed on a garage floor for instance. Electrical energy is transmitted contact-free without the need for a cable, at a power rate of 3.6 kW and with a degree of efficiency of 90%.
