Mercedes 126 W126 560sec Coupe, Taupe W/creme Beige Interior, Great Condition on 2040-cars
Alexandria, Virginia, United States
|
This is a two owner, original Mercedes 560SEC coupe. Has been maintained by MB dealer since new. Complete maintenance and repair records since new. Car has been owned since 1994 by current owner, who is an MBCA enthusiast with a collection of classic and antique Mercedes. This car has never been in an accident except for a couple of door dings and a 2MPH bump on the rear bumper which caused no damage and was repainted at the MB dealer. Car is in almost perfect mechanical condition. Only things needing attention are the cruise control amplifier (common issue) and reconnection of the sun visor mirror lights. Car has an updated Becker CD player radio, but original radio is included in working condition. Also, there are two sets of OEM wheels for summer and winter tires. The interior is also in outstanding condition, with supple leather seats with no tears or rips. Trunk is likewise very clean, with the only issue being where cleaner was leaked into the passenger wheel well depression. The carpet covering can be replaced by any reputable upholsterer on this part for about $150.00 if perfection is sought. John Olson's book, The SL Experience notes that the W126 coupe is the rarest Mercedes produced during the golden years of the 80s, before Mercedes ceased to be over engineered and plastic replaced leather and metal in their line. Less than 2,000 of these cars were made per year, and the 1990 and 1991 models are the last and most sought of this model. These rare coupes are starting to appreciate and will continue to appreciate in the future. This car just floats down the interstate with the most luxurious ride imaginable, better than today's cars. The 5.6 liter V8 provides ample power to do as you please in this car. Likewise, the body structure is extremely strong with no rattles and vibrations. The car has European glass halogen lights mounted, but the original US spec lights will also go with the car. This car offers perhaps the most for the money of any used car on the market today. You can drive it every day, and it will provide many, many years of pleasure. The engine and drivetrain is bulletproof, capable of going hundres of thousands of miles without the need of any rebuild if maintained to MB specs. This car gets lots of attention and thumbs up. The mechanics at the Mercedes dealership will ask you if you want to sell it when you drive in for scheduled oil changes or service. This car can win prizes in local Mercedes shows with all records and original books intact along with tool roll etc. I am selling it only to make room for other vehicles on my bucket list. BTW, this is my wife's favorite car. If you have any questions, I can provide the number of our master MB mechanic, known in the DC area as the Car Whisperer, who can vouch for the conditiion of this car. I am also happy to answer any questions for you--just ring me at 703.799.7465. The reserve is most reasonable. I am only asking a fair price for this classic car and am willing to sell it early based on a reasonable offer. The colors of desert taupe with a creme beige interior are gorgeous in any climate. Additional pictures are available on request. I will assist with pick up of vehicle by commercial shippers.

Mercedes and VW battling Uber and Apple to spend billions on Nokia mapping division
Tue, May 12 2015Whether for autonomous driving or simply better navigation, digital mapping is closely linked with the future of motoring. The sale of a major player in that industry is spurring a showdown between automotive behemoths and tech giants, and it's a fascinating battle to watch unfold. Nokia is selling its Here mapping division, and while the company might not have the name recognition of Google, it controls about 70 percent of the auto market. The business is valued at $785 million, according to Reuters, but is likely to sell for significantly more. Case in point: Uber reportedly submitted a $3 billion bid. Apple has also been rumored to be among those interested in purchasing Here. A trio of German automotive heavyweights is mounting a challenge to Silicon Valley, though. According to Reuters speaking to two unnamed insiders, Daimler, BMW, and Audi are teaming up to submit a joint bid for an undisclosed sum. They're worried that if Here falls under the control of tech companies, then automakers might have limited availability to these vital maps in the future. Nokia bought Here for $8.1 billion in 2007, according to Reuters. The company operates a fleet of vehicles with cameras and LIDAR that drive around the world to create high-definition maps. It also generates even more information by using the GPS data from shipping and trucking companies.
Mercedes testing C-Class plug-in hybrid modes in Germany
Wed, 07 May 2014Testing appears to be underway for what would be the first Mercedes-Benz C-Class with a hybrid powertrain. We can see a pair of the prototypes undergoing testing in Germany, with one, a C-Class Wagon, still heavily clad in camouflage and featuring a more noticeable outlet on the passenger side of its rear bumper.
There's also a more production-looking sedan, which features a not-so-discreet flap over its rear-bumper outlet. It's difficult to speculate on power outputs for this fuel-sipping C-Class, although our spies seem to think that this car will feature some combination of a four-cylinder gas engine with an electric motor, although just which four is unclear (note, we wouldn't mind if MB fit its 2.0-liter turbo with some batteries and motors). Regardless, the four-pot/electric motor seems like a pretty reasonable combo, although it probably means that Mercedes won't be challenging the six-cylinder-powered system of the BMW ActiveHybrid3 any time soon.
When the plug-in C-Class arrives later this year as a 2015 model, it will likely offer a full range of driving modes, including both gas or electric, only, as well as a more traditional hybrid mode.
2018 Range Rover Sport Coupe spied in Scotland
Wed, Jun 8 2016Sport utility vehicles are the rage. SUVs with coupe styling are pretty popular, too, as BMW and Mercedes have demonstrated. Now it's Land Rover's turn. Believed to be the upcoming Range Rover Sport Coupe, this ute was spied this week during top secret testing at a remote location in Scotland. The vehicle would slot between the Range Rover Sport and Evoque, giving Land Rover an answer to the Mercedes GLE and BMW X6. These shots show what appears to be a chopped roofline, giving the new model a sportier profile than the traditional upright silhouette of Rovers. We expect it will use a version of the aluminum Jaguar F-Pace platform and offer V6 and V8 engines. It could also offer a hybrid or full electric version. The new crossover might also be lower set in a bid to differentiate it from traditional Rovers and give it a performance vibe. The Range Rover Sport Coupe – or whatever it is ultimately called – would enter a strong segment that's found favor in the United States. Once derided for potentially offering less function than traditional utes, these lifestyle vehicles have developed a strong following for their style and capability. The X6 was so successful, BMW added the smaller X4, and this forced Mercedes to follow suit with the GLE and GLC coupe variants. In this context, it's about time for Land Rover to join the fray.
