Aransas Pass, Texas, United States

MUST BE TOWED OR TRAILERED TO YOUR DESTINATION! DO NOT EXPECT TO DRIVE HOME! This car has been parked for approximately 14 months. Prior to that, it ran fine for the year or so that I drove it and I took it on several long (1000+ miles) trips and drove it extensively around town. It developed a tick and I parked it last fall. I got a newer M-B 300E at the same time that got better gas mileage, so I never looked into fixing it. I have started it a few times, but not driven it because the registration and inspection are expired and I live two blocks from the police station. Straight and complete down to the first aid kit in the rear shelf. Heated electric seats. Interior good but not perfect, please look at photos carefully. Good tires. CLEAR TEXAS TITLE. If you are reading this, you probably already know that the 560 SEL is a very, very nice car. It was rated the safest car of the year in 1989. The L is for Limousine, and it is extra long and the back seat reclines. All the seats are heated. There are ashtrays and cigarette lighters in the rear doors. The seats are leather and the wood trim is real. Since it has been parked for over a year I will not guarantee anything other than that it will start. Please look at pictures carefully and ask any questions before buying. I did a quick survey of the car as I took the photos for this listing, and these are the only defects I noticed. This is not and exhaustive list and you may find defects that I did not notice. Exterior: Very straight with no hail damage or noticeable dents. Original paint that needs to be repainted as clearcoat has failed. Two small (dime and quarter size) bullseye cracks in windshield. Small crack in bezel surrounding headlight on passenger side. Small hole (pencil size) and cracks in passenger marker light. Remaining light bezels and lenses appear good. Windshield wipers on headlights. Small trim piece missing on passenger side (see picture) Bumpers, grill, chrome trim all good. Good tires. Interior: Mostly intact, no cracks in dashboard. It appears someone tried to install a new radio: wood in the center console is loose and there is a rectangular hole in front of the shifter. Seats are gray leather. Cracks in both front seats (see pictures) No cracks in back seat. Carpet is intact and complete with floormats but stained. Missing passenger kickplate in front of door. The glue has failed on the vinyl on the door pillars. Missing driver's sun visor clip. One rear speaker case is cracked and broken on one corner. Two small cracks in the top of the driver's door panel. The back of the driver's seat is in the trunk and probably needs new mounting hardware. If someone had the time, space, and tools, this car could be parted out for much more than the purchase price. A quick search of eBay will reveal dozens of parts that can be sold for $50-$1000 each. It is my hope, however, that someone will fix this one and keep it on the road. Please ask any questions you have. This car is sold AS-IS and WHERE-IS, with NO warranty expressed or implied. Buyer is responsible for transporting the vehicle within 30 days of purchase. I will tow (prepaid) to you for $1.50 per mile from 78336. Please pay via PayPal invoice I will send at end of auction. |

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022
Thu, Mar 17 2016The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA order guide leaked
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The dealer order guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA has made its way online courtesy of the crew at CLAForums.com, and not only does it shed light on the ways buyers will be able to configure the entry-level sedan, it talks specific option pricing. Shoppers will be able to select between the CLA250 and CLA250 4Matic, and the option sheet should offer a number of packages to suit buyer tastes, including a sport package with tweaked fascias and unique wheels. Bi-xenon headlamps and 18-inch alloys may also be had as well as a panoramic sunroof and a collision avoidance system. The CLA will be available with a number of active safety systems on board, including lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, park assist and blind spot assist, to name a few.
The new sedan comes in 10 colors, including a very dashing purple Mecedes-Benz calls Northern Lights Violet, and there are a total of four interior trim finishes. The automaker hasn't released final pricing of all models just as of yet - we do know from Mercedes' Kate Upton Super Bowl ad that the car will start at $29,900 - but you can check out individual option and package pricing in the gallery. You can also find more information over at CLAForums.com.
New Die Hard movie wrecked 132 cars in $11 million chase scene [w/video]
Sat, 16 Feb 2013It would seem the act of dying hard brings with it lots of wanton destruction of the four-wheeled kind. According to John Moore, director of A Good Day To Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again. Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there... That's the fun of it."
Please join us in one great big collective sigh. Done? Okay, let's continue.
"With Die Hard it's about how audacious the action is," says Moore. "So you have to drive over a Lamborghini. An actual one. And yes it hurts me. I'm a car fanatic." Yeah. Sounds like it hurt really bad... though not as bad as the final tally after all the carnage had been counted: "Someone showed me the numbers on the car chase and soup to nuts, you put it all together it was like an $11 million sequence."
