1991 Mercedes Benz 560 Sel on 2040-cars
Elmhurst, Illinois, United States
|
Up for your consideration is an very-good to excellent condition 1991 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL. This vehicle is being offered by its second owners. They purchased it from a certified pre-owned Mercedes-Benz dealer late in the summer of 1998. A cherished daily driver, the second owner maintained this car very, very well. All service history is documented with a stack of service receipts totaling nearly $25,000 over the last 15+ years. All oil changes, maintenance and repairs were done by certified Mercedes-Benz technicians. In 2011, the second owner passed away and this vehicle was put in to a climate-controlled storage facility, where it was properly looked after. The battery was maintained, fuel was stabilized and it was regularly started and run to maintain the vehicle's integrity. The car's exterior and interior were also periodically cleaned and refurbished as necessary. In January of this year, storage of this vehicle became no longer available and the family of the second owner has decided to sell it. The 1991 Mercedes 560 SEL was the last of the 126-series chassis. It represented luxury at its finest in 1991 and this behemoth represents perhaps the last of the great "touring" cars produced by Mercedes-Benz. Aesthetically, the design is pure, classic Mercedes-Benz. These models are quickly appreciating on this basis and this particular car provides and excellent opportunity to own a classic. Technically, the performance of the 560 could be described as smooth, powerful, and quiet. As a fully-optioned vehicle in 1991 this car features adjustable front and rear power seats, power telescopic steering wheel, sun-roof, two-way heated front and rear seats, power self-leveling hydraulic shocks, Becker audio system with a 10-disc CD changer mounted in the trunk. Power windows and locks. Rear passenger reading lamps. This is the ultimate car for long-trips! All features appear to work on this vehicle, including the power antenna. The air-conditioning and climate control systems are also working quite well. The current Toyo tires have approximately 7,000 miles on them. Brakes function well with anti-lock system fully functional. Self-leveling hydraulic suspension also full engages when gear selector is changed from "Park" to "Drive" and vice-versa. Body-wise the car is very good. The original paint is good, but may benefit from an intense buff and wax to really bring out the shine. Chrome is excellent. Panels and all apertures are tight. Body has a few minor "dings" commensurate with he age of the car and use. Nothing major here. The only rust is two small spots where the front bumper attaches to the body on each side. This is not a serious issue but it should be noted. All power locks are properly aligned, lubricated and central locking system is operational. The interior is very good, with minor creasing and some surface cracks on the diver and front passenger seats and central arm rest. The rear passenger seats are in excellent condition. All the hides are in supple condition with no splits, or deep fissures requiring repair. Carpet pile is deep and and in good shape with no serious stains or wear. The car rides beautifully, with full power and good braking. Transmission shifts smoothly and quietly. The vehicle is sold "as-is", "where is". No warranty or guarantees offered or implied. Car has a clear title. Taxes, delivery, registration, and title are the responsibility of the buyer. A $500 deposit is due with 48-hours of the winning bid or offer. We expect the car to be paid for in total in 7 calendar days after that time, unless alternate arrangements have been made. We will assist in shipping but all arrangements are at the buyer's expense. We will not transfer title until purchase is paid in full. Wire transfer, certified check only. All funds must be in US-Dollars. Please do not offer any trades. Seller reserves the right to end this auction early as this car is being offered for sale locally. Car can be seen and driven by appointment only. Feel free to order an inspection PRIOR to your bid or offer. This is not a contingent sale. All sales final. I will be happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability in a timely manner. I can take further photos if you require and may post more if it ever stops snowing! All reasonable offers considered. Clean CARFAX report is available.

Mercedes making aggressive plans for Chinese market
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Mercedes-Benz is preparing a major product offensive to counteract lagging sales in the Chinese market, aiming 20 new or updated models at the People's Republic in the next two years, according to a report by Reuters. The plan is part of MB's so-called 2020 Initiative, which will see the Stuttgart-based manufacturer dump 2 billion Euros ($2.67 billion) into its Chinese market vehicles in a bid to boost sales to 300,000 units by 2015.
Were it to succeed, China would become the largest market for the Silver Arrow, outpacing Germany and the United States. Leading the charge will be the redesigned E-Class, which is set to launch in China this week. That will quickly be followed by the S-Class, and eventually by the GLA-Class in 2014.
Mercedes has struggled in China, especially relative to its German competition, BMW and Audi. Where Mercedes saw a mere four-percent increase in 2012 sales to 206,150 units, Audi was up a staggering 32 percent, while BMW's numbers jumped 41 percent. While some voices, according to Reuters, accuse Munich and Ingolstadt of boosting their numbers through hefty incentives, the fact remains that Mercedes was just walloped by its competitors last year.

Next Mercedes-Benz C-Class to get diesel, hybrid versions
Tue, 16 Apr 2013Mercedes-Benz is planning a more aggressive product strategy for its next-generation C-Class range. "We were fighting the 3 Series with two arms tied behind our back, and now we will change that," Steve Cannon, the automaker's US CEO, told Automotive News in a recent interview.
In addition to offering more body styles of the new C-Class, AN reports that the revamped Mercedes will also be offered here with hybrid and diesel powertrains. Currently, the C-Class comes in coupe and sedan variants, with only gasoline engines. The BMW 3 Series, however, is available as a sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon, and offers buyers the choice of gasoline, diesel (the upcoming 328d) or hybrid power.
Mercedes-Benz will show the next-generation C-Class at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, with sales of the US-built sedan following in August. Coupe, convertible and hybrid models will follow in early 2015, and while diesel and all-wheel-drive versions are planned, no specific timetable has been released regarding availability.
