My wife and I just bought our first house, and we no longer have the garage space for it. (And this car deserves to be stored inside, as it always has been). If you aren't familiar with these cars, the 560 SEL is the long wheelbase version of the Mercedes W126 platform, and offers the biggest engine available at the time with the most interior space. This is the car that you would see in the movies driven by Arab Oil Sheiks and foreign diplomats, with the flags on the front bumper. (No, I don't have flags for it, but I've been tempted). The car is powered by a 5.0 Liter V8 with fuel injection, and it has abundant power to move very quickly, even for a heavy car. There is no comparison between this powertrain and the old Mercedes Benz diesels, which achieve 0-60 "Eventually." If you would like to do more research about the Mercedes W126 platform, check out the Wikipedia page for Mercedes W126. (eBay would not allow me to include the link). This car is in beautiful shape, and is one of the most desirable color combinations you can find. The exterior is "Black Pearl Metallic," which changes colors in the light from black, to dark grey, to deep brown. The interior is finished in a light brown "Palomino" leather. I purchased this from an older Japanese gentleman in San Francisco in 2012. He inherited the car from his father, who received it as a gift from a wealthy friend in Southern California. This car is absolutely beautiful inside and out, and I receive compliments on it frequently. I currently only drive the car occasionally on the weekends when the weather is nice, however I would have no hesitation to get in this car and drive it across the country, or use it as a daily commuter. I have lots of documentation for the car, including the original brochure from the dealership where it was ordered. I have the CarFax report from when I purchased the car in 2012. If you would like a newer report, feel free to run a VIN history report. This Mercedes has a number of unique features, many of which it pioneered when the car was released in 1987. Among them, are: -Power reclining rear seats -Automated Climate Control -Heated front and rear seats -Hill-hold, prevents the car from rolling back without needing to hold your foot on the brake. -Two different horn tones (City and Country) -Digital external temperature display Cosmetically, the car is in very good shape. The biggest blemish is that the chrome on the rear bumper is peeling. There are a few door nicks here and there, but they are minor. Mechanically, the only potential issue I'm aware of is that the steering wheel sometimes vibrates when on the freeway, which I believe means that it will probably need new tie rods at some point. I have had all maintenance performed by "Junipero Serra Auto" in Daly City, (A Mercedes Benz and Porsche specialty shop). The car is virtually stock, with the exception of lightly tinted windows, and an Alpine stereo with iPod connectivity. (Both were done by the previous owner). The only addition I made was to replace the stock floor mats with new plush mats, that are very high quality. The car still has the original California "Sunset" license plates, which you can no longer obtain. I am a car enthusiast, (Much to my wife's dismay), and I take pride in keeping my cars well maintained and looking beautiful. Please ask any questions, or come see the car in person if you are interested. The car is located in Pacifica, California. |

2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600 First Drive
Mon, Jan 19 2015Imagine the audacity: during the salad days of the early 2000s, the company that invented the automobile – already synonymous with class-leading luxury – sought to further expand its portfolio by crashing the ultraluxury party. Going up against the likes of Rolls-Royce and Bentley, Mercedes-Benz traded its unmistakable Three-Pointed Star for a Mighty Mouse-like logo, exhuming a stately, long-dead German marque originally founded in 1909. The long-wheelbase Maybach 62 listed at an epic $360,000, while later spinoffs included curiosities like the nearly $700,000 Zeppelin, and a roofless, seven-figure limousine dubbed Laundaulet. By the time the financial bubble finally burst in 2008, the brand's fate was all but sealed, with US sales dropping into the double digits. It limped along another four years, but when the nameplate finally went kerplunk, it left behind it a trail of disappointed movers, shakers, moguls and rappers. The perfect postmodern metaphor for the brand's funeral pyre? Kanye West and Jay-Z's Otis music video, in which a perfectly fine Maybach is chopped and deconstructed, flames spewing out the tailpipes as it powerslides through an empty parking lot. Meet The (Sorta) New Boss Rising from the ashes of hubris is the 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600, a recalibrated stab at high-end luxury with a startlingly similar, yet different, approach to its forbear. Like the last go, the new sled features a significantly longer wheelbase, which stretches 8.1 inches over the standard S600. Additional sound damping helps it claim the quietest rear cabin in all of production automobiledom, and posher trim bits include a rim of wood surrounding the reclining rear seats. Among the livery-focused special features is a rearview mirror-mounted microphone to amplify the driver's voice, an available rear fridge, and an executive seat package with folding tray tables. The super high-end hallmarks are there – a twin-turbo V12 dispatching sub-5 second 0 to 60 times, a stunning 24 speaker Burmester sound system, double-M branded silver plate champagne flutes, et al. – but the hyperinflated price tag is not. Starting at $189,350, roughly half the cost of the old flagship, the new Maybach isn't even the most expensive Mercedes-Benz you can buy. That distinction goes to the S65 AMG Coupe, which empties your coffers to the tune of $230,900.
Mercedes celebrates with World Championship edition SL63
Mon, Dec 1 2014Mercedes has plenty to be celebrating at the moment, having just won the Formula One World Championship in spectacular style – taking the constructors' title by a huge margin and the top two slots in the drivers' standings as well. It almost goes without saying that the German outfit would celebrate with a special edition, and that's just what we're looking at here. Presented at a special celebratory Stars & Cars event in Stuttgart in front of 50,000 jubilant fans, the Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG World Championship 2014 Collector's Edition is based on Benz's twin-turbo V8-powered roadster but with some choice upgrades. Two versions will be offered: one in black with gold accents (displayed with the Silverstone circuit layout), the other in white with silver accents (and the Hockenheim map). One was designed by Lewis Hamilton, the other by Nico Rosberg. We'll let you sort out which one was done by which, but either way there'll only be 19 examples, each dedicated to a different grand prix circuit in the championship which Mercedes positively dominated – winning all but three, scoring eleven one-two finishes and landing on the podium at each and every one.
Mercedes-Benz releases stunning first images of 2014 S-Class
Mon, 18 Mar 2013
The all-new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, designated W222, is one of the most highly anticipated debuts of its model year. Every generation of the flagship sedan has broken new ground in technology and innovation for the entire industry, and the German automaker appears determined to raise the bar much further with its latest arrival as it promises to deliver "the best automobile in the world." Mercedes-Benz has just released nearly two dozen interior images of the new sedan, showing off style in design, craftsmanship in execution and pioneering advancements in technology.
Unlike all previous generations - the first S-Class officially arrived in 1972 - the 2014 model completely discards a traditional instrument cluster and replaces it with two high-resolution color displays in 8:3 format with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches (the outgoing model's gauges were a mix of digital and analog). The left unit displays traditional analog gauges (digitally, of course) while the right unit is reserved for infotainment and comfort settings with the automaker's all-new mBrace2 - a cloud-based entertainment and information delivery system that is rolling out this year.
