Palm Springs, California, United States

1987 Mercedes 560SL for sale Amazing and gorgeous example of an extremely original 560sl. Original Ivory paint over Palomino interior, factory soft top with crystal clear windows and hard top too. So you know I'm legit and not some spam posting, you can look me up on the web and see my picture and footage of me as well. Go to the well known site IMDB (International Movie Data Base) and put in Dean England. That is who you will be speaking to on the phone and you or your transport company will be meeting to get the Mercedes. If you have little or no ebay feedback, please contact me before the end of the auction to confirm your identity as well. Purchased new and gently enjoyed between San Diego (Escondido) and Palm Springs (Indian Wells) for many years. Then she has lived amongst collectors in Palm Springs and Los Angeles. Her last visit to the dealership was at Mercedes of Encino at 76.022 miles in November of 2011. Clean car fax and receipts document the mileage that is about 78,000 now. You will see on the car fax she has passed every California smog check, most recently on 4/15/2014. Factory books stamped by the dealer to the mileage of about 51k. Extremely high gloss on the original ivory paint is fantastic. Pampered to the fullest from new, including the factory rims chromed (including the spare), hand painted pinstripes and upgraded wood shifter and steering wheel as well as back seats with seat belts, all as they'd do for a substantial extra expense back in the day. Interior is fantastic. There are no dash cracks, tears or damage inside. Ashtray never used. Also at great expense, an upgraded in dash Mercedes CD stereo was purchased at and installed by the Mercedes dealer so it is the correct brand for the car and not some odd looking after market unit. It fits right into the original opening. The speakers in the dash were upgraded as well. Though again, nothing has been cut and no other areas in the Mercedes are cut for speakers as too often is the case in these cars. Dealer receipt included. The Mercedes dealership also upgraded/retrofitted the Air Conditioning system to run on the R134 refrigerant and it blows nice and cold. The soft top is the original, yes original, with all the Mercedes emblems embossed in the crystal clear plastic windows. You can tell the car has seen very little sun or bad weather as the interior wood is not cracking, the soft top is not torn or faded and neither are the windows to it and the body to the car is spectacular. Even the outside rubber in the chrome side moldings are not sun faded or worn. The rubber is just as smooth on the top facing the sun as it is on the bottom. She just got a brand new battery. The metal battery box clamps that are too often broken off are all good. This happens because sometimes people cram in a cheaper battery that doesn't fit right and then try to clamp it down anyway. Not the case here. She starts right up, shifts smoothly. I can email video of her running. I just don't know how to post that on Ebay. When the headlights are turned on, that one small dash light is on that suggests a bulb is burned out. Yet, all blinkers, back up lights, parking lights etc are working. Sometimes this light can come on if an incorrect bulb (even if it works) was put in. I haven't looked into this to see if that's the case. Also, there is the typical small bit of play in the steering wheel when in the 12 o'clock position. This is the 560sl to put into your care if you are looking for original quality that is only going up in value because of its extreme originality along with dealer maintenance over the years and low mileage. Even the the lighted sun visors work and are not cracked or brittle or faded. I have the right to end this auction early in case I reach a deal with someone before the end of auction. If you'd like, feel free to email me your best offer. If it works for both of us I will let you know. I will then add a "Buy it Now" to the auction and you can purchase the 560sl with the buy it now feature. Otherwise, I'll see where it goes. Feel free to email me with any questions. Thanks for looking. |

2021 Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 First Drive | Fat cat money
Thu, Feb 18 2021ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Do you like the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class, but just donÂ’t think itÂ’s fancy or expensive enough as it is? Maybe the AMG version is too audaciously sporty or you'd prefer a completely different flavor of garish. Maybe you donÂ’t want to be seen driving the GLS at all. If youÂ’re looking for the perfect GLS to be driven in, but need to make sure you look more like the type of fat cat to blow money on lavish, boozy dinners and decorative fountains than the pro baller who splurges on a home gym and tennis courts, Mercedes finally has the giant SUV just for you: the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600. Is this tongue-in-cheek straw man in any way indicative of an actual Maybach owner? Who knows. We can barely comprehend how rich someone might be who can afford this $161,525 ultra-luxury SUV (before any options) let alone actually know someone of such largesse. Nevertheless, the GLS upon which it's based is certainly no stranger to us. We first drove the GLS 470 in Austria's Tyrolean Alps, sampled the AMG GLS 63 in the Columbia River Gorge, and nominated its bouncy E-Active Body Control suspension for AutoblogÂ’s 2020 Technology of the Year Award. Most of the same ingredients are present in the Maybach 600, but just one look at this two-tone luxury liner requires you to rethink the scope of what the GLS can do. While the overall body style looks more or less the same, there was no mistaking our tester for an ordinary GLS, or even an extraordinary AMG model. The two-tone paint — Lunar Blue Metallic below, and Iridium Silver Metallic from the beltline up — shouts to passersby (in an aristocratic German accent, presumably) that thereÂ’s something different going on here. The optional wheels, which get their own Maybach design, measure an absolutely massive 23 inches. Perched on the nose is the nearly extinct Mercedes hood ornament. The final giveaway comes when you move in a little closer and see the Maybach badging on the grille, tailgate and D-pillars. But seriously, that paint job is something else. The exterior doesnÂ’t quite do justice to what awaits within. The driverÂ’s door opens to a rich, inviting and clearly technologically advanced cockpit. The dual screen dash housing the instrument panel and infotainment touchscreen is becoming familiar from GLS down to GLA, as are the multitude of controls on the wheel and center console with which one can easily interact with them.
2018 Lincoln Navigator vs luxury SUV rivals: How it compares on paper
Wed, Nov 8 2017The all-new 2018 Lincoln Navigator is an impressive, luxury-lined beast. However, while its Black Label interior stood out most during our first drive of the new Navigator, it also seemed pretty clear that much of this full-size SUV was superior to the competition in a number of fundamental ways. Its Raptor-sourced 3.5-liter V6 had class-leading power for one, and its third-row seat seemed as spacious and comfortable as its rivals' are cramped and barely usable. To search for your next new vehicle, try Autoblog' s Car Finder. Yet, I wanted to take a closer look at how the Navigator fully compares on paper to its competitors - especially the Cadillac Escalade with which it most directly competes. The below spreadsheet should tell the whole story, but as you can see, there's an awful lot of class-leading green highlighter in the Navigator's column. The cargo volume and third-row legroom numbers are particularly telling, with the latter actually going up to 42.3 inches when you slide the second-row fully forward. Now, a few things to note about the above spreadsheet. The GLS-Class is also available as the GLS 550, which boasts a 4.7-liter V8 that just comes up short to the Navigator with 449 horsepower but has to deal with only 5,578 pounds. Its $94,950 price tag is comparable to the Navigator Black Label. Much of the LX 570's information is also applicable to the Toyota Land Cruiser, which, badge aside, could certainly be considered a member of this segment given its feature content and still-hefty price tag. It has better ground clearance and approach/departure angles than its Lexus sibling, along with an as-indicated lower price. Much of the Escalade's information also applies to the GMC Yukon Denali, while the Infiniti QX80 is applicable to the Nissan Armada.

First Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive rolls off line, coming to US soon
Fri, Apr 18 2014Mercedes-Benz is about to give Americans another choice of battery-powered vehicle. Offering more all-electric range than the Nissan Leaf or BMW i3, and with a smaller price tag than the Tesla Model S, the B-Class Electric Drive is officially set to arrive in the US this summer. Indeed, the first examples have begun rolling off the production line in Rastatt, Germany. Featuring drivetrain parts from Tesla Motors, the luxury compact hits all the performance parameters mentioned during its debut at last year's New York Auto Show. For a refresher, that's a single-charge range of 200 kilometers (124 miles) along with a 0-to-100 kilometer-per-hour (62 mile-per-hour) sprint in a respectable 7.9 seconds. These achievements comes courtesy of a 28-kWh lithium battery located in the floor of the passenger compartment and a 132-kW (177-horsepower) motor powering the front wheels. Torque specs for the unit seemed to have increased somewhat and are now given as 340 Newton meters (250.77 pound-feet). It boasts an 11-kW charger and can add as much as 62 miles of range to a deleted battery in an hour and a half. Sadly, it is not Supercharger compatible. The B-Class Electric Drive, which is built on the same production line as the gasoline-powered version, is going to go on sale in Europe around the end of the year and will also come in a right-hand drive version for other markets in 2015. Although pricing has not yet been announced, Mercedes execs expect it to be quite competitive with the BMW i3. Scroll below for the press release (Google translated from German). Model offensive: Mercedes-Benz launches first major series for electric cars - the start of production at Mercedes-Benz in Rastatt: B-Class Electric Drive begins For the first time large-scale production of Mercedes-Benz models with internal combustion engine and electric drive on the same line Stefan Abraham: "With the B-Class Electric Drive we are expanding our production portfolio at the Rastatt plant is a highly innovative drive variant." In the Mercedes-Benz plant in Rastatt today through the first B-Class Electric Drive off the line. This makes Mercedes-Benz models are produced with internal combustion engine and electric drive on the same line at the site for the first time. The B-Class Electric Drive is based on the Mercedes-Benz front-wheel drive architecture of the new Mercedes-Benz compact car generation and uses the modular component kit.
