THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION FOR A VERY CLEAN W126 MERCEDES BENZ 560 SEL WHICH HAS ALL EXTENSIVE BOOKS AND RECORDS AND SERVICE HISTORY. IT WAS PURCHASED TWO YEARS AGO FROM A CLASSIC AND EXOTIC CAR DEALER IN GREENWICH CT. THIS CAR WAS A ONE OWNER CAR BEFORE BEING BOUGHT AND RESOLD BY THE DEALER. FROM WHAT I CAN GATHER FROM RECORDS AS WELL AS THE DEALER, THE CAR WAS OWNED BY A NYC DOCTOR AND WAS DRIVEN MOSTLY IN THE HAMPTONS. I AM SELLING THIS CAR FOR MY FRIEND WHO I SHARE A PASSION FOR CARS AND HAVE OWNED MANY GERMAN CARS BOTH AS PARTNERS AS WELL AS INDIVIDUALLY. WE JUST LOVE THESE CARS OF OUR YOUTH... NOW IT IS TIME TO SELL AND FOCUS ON SOMETHING NEW TO DRIVE (500E). I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR EXTENSIVELY AND CAN ATTEST TO ITS CONDITION, RELIABILITY AND GENUINE ENJOYABILITY. I FEEL LIKE A KING DRIVING THIS CAR. IT IS FAST AND SMOOTH, SHIFTS WELL AND HAS A PERFECTLY GERMAN SALOON FEEL TO THE STEERING. THE BRAKES FEEL STRONG AND SOLID WITH A HARD PEDAL. THE SHOCKS ABSORB IMPERFECTIONS WELL BUT STILL HAVE THAT SOLID GERMAN FEELING THUMP. THE ROADABILITY OF THIS CAR IS ASTOUNDING. THE CAR IS LOADED WITH ALL OF THE OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES THAT WERE AVAILABLE ON THE TOP OF THE LINE 126 SEDANS. THIS IS A TRUE FULL SIZE LUXURY SEDAN AND AUTOBAHN BURNER. RECENTLY A FULL SERVICE WAS COMPLETED AND THE TIMING CHAIN WAS SERVICED. A NEW GERMAN GLASS WINDSHIELD WAS INSTALLED AND NEW TIRES WERE INSTALLED (MICHELIN PRIMACY MV4) AT 85K. THIS CAR WILL NOT DISAPPOINT. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVEN IN THE SALT OR SNOW AND IS HAND WASHED REGULARLY (WEEKLY) BY A PROFESSIONAL DETAILER WHO HAS BEEN CLEANING OUR CARS FOR OVER 20 YEARS. AS ALWAYS, I LIKE TO MENTION THAT THIS IS A USED CAR THAT IS OVER 25 YEARS OLD AND IT IS NOT PERFECT BUT IT IS VERY NICE AND FAR BETTER THEM MOST 126'S I HAVE SEEN. THERE A FEW SMALL DINGS AND SOME PAINT IMPERFECTIONS THAT CAN BAIRLY BE SEEN FROM DING REPAIR YEARS AGO (NO PAINTLESS DENT REMOVAL IN THE 80'S) MOST OF WHICH COULD BE WET SANDED AND OR BUFFED OUT. THERE IS A SLIGHT DISCOLORATION ON THE BUMPERS IN THE CHROME WHICH IS VERY SMALL. OVERALL THE PAINT AND CHROME ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND FROM 4 OR 5 FEET AWAY YOU CAN NOT BELIEVE HOW CLOSE TO SHOW ROOM THIS CAR LOOKS. THE INTERIOR IS AS EXCELLENT AS THE EXTERIOR. NO WEARS OR DAMAGE. SMELLS CLEAN. THE LEATHER IS NOT WORN AND THERE ARE NO CRACKS IN THE PLASTIC OR WOOD INTERIOR PIECES. THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW IS SLOW GOING UP BUT HAS NOT BEEN A PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS A SLIGHT PATINA BUT YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER DOCUMENTED BETTER DRIVING CAR. YOU CAN SEE THAT I HAVE 100% FEEDBACK AND HAVE SOLD MANY BIG TICKET CARS AND MOTORCYCLES AND I TRY VERY HARD TO ACCURATELY DESCRIBE WHAT I AM SELLING. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS AND BID WITH CONFIDENCE.

Volvo S60 Polestar concept plays in the snow with Mercedes C63 AMG
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Chris Harris took to a snowy stretch of tarmac to get a fingertips-on-the-wheel feel of the Volvo S60 Polestar concept. Harris says the turbocharged sedan with 508 horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque - and a manual transmission - is "a study to see if Volvo can get back into the fast-car market." The Polestar S60 concept, one of which was already purchased for $300,000 by a private buyer, is still making the publicity rounds because even Volvo's Chinese owners realize that, as Harris says, "Volvo sold more cars because it made fast cars" like the old 850 T5 Wagon that stormed the British Touring Car Championship in the 1990s.
For reference, Harris compares the blue wonder to the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and its 487 hp and 442 lb-ft. The question is, were Volvo to get the price of a production version of the S60 Polestar to climb way down from its 200,000-pound sticker, could it be worthy competition to the established giants?
You can watch Harris divine the answer via a lot of drifting through the snow and a drag race in the video below.
Maybach lost upwards of $500k on each vehicle sold
Wed, 08 Feb 2012Daimler is shuttering Maybach in 2013 after seven years of production. In that time, the company's ultra-ultra-luxury arm managed to sell just 3,000 units, and CAR reports Daimler lost somewhere around $500,000 on each and every one of them.
Even with a ludicrous price tag of over $370,000 for an "entry" Maybach 57, the brand couldn't quite recoup the dizzying $1.33 billion Daimler poured into it since its (re)inception. Rumors ignited over a possible tie up with Aston Martin that would have resulted in a range of new and attractive models, but Daimler has instead decided to snuff out Maybach altogether.
We can hardly blame them.
Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video
Mon, Dec 7 2015With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.
