1990 560sec 100,000 Miles on 2040-cars
Williamsburg, Virginia, United States
|
Good day, ladies
and gentlemen. Up for sale is my 1990 560sec. My wife and I are having a
child, so unfortunately I am forced to sell this beautiful masterpiece
of a car for something that can accommodate a baby. I searched for two
years for a 560sec that was up to my requirements in terms of overall
condition, and I bought this one just over one year ago. I had no
intention of ever selling it, so I have put an impressive amount of time
and money into the car. Here's a brief history of the vehicle: I am technically the
third owner; however, the first owner sold it shortly after purchasing
it new, which if I recall correctly was in the year 1991. The second
owner was an elderly, wealthy lady living in Virginia Beach. She kept
this car in the garage at all times, and naturally she followed all the
routine maintenance. I didn't think twice about buying it from her, for I
had never seen a 560sec that was in such good condition. Since owning
the vehicle, I have replaced the following parts, many of which did not
necessarily need replacing buy which I replaced anyway simply to fulfill
my tendency to be extremely particular about my cars. Nearly all of
these parts are original equipment, meaning they are the same
manufacturer of parts that Mercedes uses: - Hydraulic fluid - Rear brake discs - Brake pads - PCV hose - Intake hoses - Spark plugs - Spark plug wires - Distributor cap - Distributor rotor - Rear differential fluid - Professional replacement of roof lining - Hood pad In
addition to these changes, I have also been extremely particular about
changing the oil, oil filter, and air filter. I have also spent a great
deal of time buffing out paint imperfections, though there still remain a
few scratches and there is one small dent/ding on the front quarter
panel. I recently bought a new genuine Mercedes "560sec" badge, but I
have not had time to replace it yet (the "5" on the "560sec" badge is
chipped, which is why I bought a new one. The antenna on this car does not go up or down, a very
common issue with this car. A replacement is not expensive. Also, there
is some delamination on the rear glass which gives the glass an icy
appearance on the bottom corners, which are also a very common problem
with this car, so much so that nearly every 560sec or 560sel that I have
seen has this issue. From what I can tell, all of the seals are in top
shape, which is naturally attributed to the fact that this car has been
garaged at all times. I also have a car cover that I use when I am
forced to park it outdoors. To keep the carpets in like new condition, I
place towels on the floor. There are no signs of rust that I am aware
of, which is extremely rare for this body style being that they are
notoriously prone to rust. I recommend changing the front brake discs. I
just received some in the mail and I will include them with the
purchase. The tires are good for awhile longer, though you may want to
consider changing them. Good tires for this car are not expensive. You will not find a 560sec that has been loved as much as
this one, nor will you likely find one in this good of condition. If
you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. -

New Mercedes-Maybach concept set to debut at 2018 Beijing Motor Show
Fri, Apr 13 2018Mercedes-Maybach builds some of the most kitted out and opulent production cars in the world. Think of the Maybach S 560 and S 650 as a Mercedes S-Class taken to the next level of luxury. Today, Mercedes-Maybach revealed a new teaser for what looks like a concept for a new EV. The car is set to debut in just a few weeks at the 2018 Beijing Motor Show. This might be the Maybach SUV we reported on a few weeks back. It's difficult to make out too many details, but it definitely looks different than the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 that we've seen floating around for the past couple of years. A close-up shot of the steering wheel shows the soft blue glow that Mercedes has put on the EQ-branded concept cars. Other images show clean white leather, rose gold trim and a pair of seats flanking a flower-encrusted panel. All the shots appear to be of the concept's interior, so we can't say for sure that this is the rumored Maybach SUV. Either way, it's sure to be just as luxurious and formidable as anything the automaker currently has on the road. We're hoping they come up with another G-Class Landaulet.

Recharge Wrap-Up: No new Smart Roadster, Africa to UK on one tank, Duke's efficient axial engine [w/videos]
Sat, Jul 19 2014Smart will not make another generation of the Roadster, but a Smart SUV might be in the cards. According to Smart's CEO, Annette Winkler, "The Roadster isn't a profitable business case. Everybody is keen on the car, but nobody wants to pay the bill." What Car? states that Smart is likely planning a baby SUV to take on the Nissan Juke and its ilk. But for the immediate future, Winkler says Smart "must focus on how we can maximize potential of the Fortwo and Forfour. That is strategy number one." Read more over at What Car?. A Mercedes-Benz E300 Bluetec Hybrid made the 1,223-mile trek from Africa to the UK on just one tank of fuel. Driven by Andrew Frankel of Autocar, the diesel hybrid left Tangier, Morocco with a full tank of gas (using the optional 80-liter fuel tank), and arrived in Goodwood with the car indicating 100 miles of range left. Frankel and his co-driver averaged 61.2 miles per gallon (73.6 mpg UK) on the intercontinental journey through four countries, despite elevation changes and a traffic jam. See the first video below for more information, or check out the article at Carscoops. Duke Engines promises simplicity and efficiency from the axial engine it's developing. Rather than lining up the cylinders, this engine arranges them in a circle, which allows Duke to avoid unnecessary weight. The five-cylinder, four-stroke motor manages the same amount of powerstrokes per revolution as a standard six-cylinder mill, but weighs 30 percent less. It also has much fewer parts, says Duke. Its high compression ratios mean more power with less fuel, which adds up to more efficiency and fewer emissions. The second of the two videos below, which we first found over at Sploid, explains Duke's axial engine. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.
