1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL

 

This flagship Mercedes-Benz is one of the last of those that were hand-built entirely in Germany!  The fit, finish and quality of this car is extraordinary, and represents the foundation on which Mercedes-Benz built its legendary reputation!

 

If you’re looking for a nice, clean, well-maintained and reliable Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL, this is it!

 

This is a No Reserve auction, meaning that the highest bidder at the end of the auction wins, regardless of the final price!

 

This 560 SEL is loaded with options including a powerful 279 HP 5.6L V8 engine, Automatic Transmission, Automatic Climate Control, Air Conditioning, Leather 8-way Memory Power Front Seats and Dual Stage Heat, Leather Power Reclining Rear Seats with Heat, Driver and Passenger Front Airbags, Four wheel ABS Disc Brakes, Power Sliding Sunroof, Cruise Control, Power Steering, Power Door Locks, Power Windows, Chrome Wheels, Premium Sound System with DVD Player, CD Changer, Tinted Glass, and Anti-Theft Alarm.

 

The body is in very good condition, as is depicted in the several, unedited pictures below.  The car has always been garaged-kept and pampered.  The only spot of rust that can be found is a small blister by the front, passenger-side headlight.  Other than this one, isolated spot, there is no other rust on the car.  This is true for the underside of the car as well, which is completely rust-free.

 

The interior is clean and inviting.  All of the switches and electronics function exactly as they should.  The original radio was replaced with a touch-screen radio/CD/DVD player, which also has a built-in back-up camera (not connected).  Additionally, there is a six-disc CD changer in the trunk that is controlled with an in-dash control unit as well.  The only blemish is a small wear spot in the left bolster of the driver’s seat.  Other than this, the interior is practically flawless.   

 

This car was primarily used for daily, long, highway commutes, as the mileage accurately reflects.  It is not uncommon for 560’s to accumulate well in excess of 500k miles, with proper maintenance, which this car has consistently received.  There are no warning lights displayed on the dash and the engine starts at the turn of the key, is quiet, steady and delivers smooth power throughout the entire rev range.  All of the wheels and tires are well-balanced and the car drives perfectly straight down the road.  The brakes were just serviced, including new rear brake calipers and pads, and firmly stop the car without any shaking or vibration.  

Overall, this is an extremely sturdy, thoroughly maintained and very well cared for example of the legendary Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL.  I wouldn’t hesitate to get into this car today and drive it anywhere!

 

A non-refundable $500 deposit by credit/debit card or bank account through PayPal is due within 24 hours after the close of the auction.  The remaining balance must be paid within five business days via bank wire transfer, or cash.  This car is being sold AS-IS, with no warranty stated or implied in any way.  I’m happy to help with shipping arrangements, but this will ultimately be the responsibility of the winning bidder.  If you should have any additional questions about this car that haven’t been covered in the description, please ask me.  The car is available to be seen and test driven, which I fully encourage; however, please arrange to do this before the auction is completed.


Please note that I have blocked buyers from bidding that do not have a Paypal account.  If you do not have a Paypal account, but would like to bid, please contact me.

 

Thank you for looking and best of luck in the auction!

Brabus takes Mercedes-Maybach even further

Sat, Jun 13 2015

Hard as it may be to imagine for most, even the flagship Mercedes-Maybach S600 won't be enough for some. And those individuals can now turn to Brabus to customize their limousines even further. The latest tuning package includes an array of enhancements, starting with the engine. That's where Brabus has installed all the upgrades from the Brabus Rocket 900, boring the 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 out to 6.3 liters, and producing a massive 887 horsepower and 1,106 pound-feet of torque. That'll propel the limo up to an Autobahn-crunching top speed quoted at 217 miles per hour, reaching 62 in just 3.7 seconds. Buyers going for the less potent Maybach S500 offered in certain markets can also opt for the Brabus B50-540 performance kit, which offers 83 extra hp and a further 88 lb-ft of torque. Brabus has also fitted a choice of 21-inch wheels, retuned suspension dropped by an inch, a full aero kit, and new radiator grille. And as sumptuous as it is already, the tuner is also offering upgrades to the interior with special leather and Alcantara upholstery, wood and carbon-fiber trim, and its full iBusiness suite. All of which promises to make the flagship Mercedes even more expensive, of course, but if there was ever an example of "if you have to ask, you can't afford it," surely the Maybach is it. BRABUS refines the new Mercedes-Maybach 662 kW / 900 HP, 1,500 Nm, top speed 350 km/h plus, high-tech forged wheels, sporty-elegant design and even more luxurious BRABUS fine leather interiors The new Mercedes-Maybach represents the absolute pinnacle of state-of-the-art automotive engineering. Nonetheless, even this luxury sedan offers room for individual refinement, which BRABUS (Brabus-Allee, D-46240 Bottrop, phone + 49 / (0) 2041 / 777-0, fax + 49 / (0) 2041 / 777 111, internet www.brabus.com) realizes with a select team of the best engineers, designers, technicians and master craftsmen. The BRABUS ROCKET 900 6.3 V12 twin-turbo increased-displacement engine provides the Mercedes-Maybach S 600 with an enormous rated power output of 662 kW / 900 HP (887 bhp) and a peak torque of 1,500 Nm (1,106 lb-ft). Top speed is in excess of 350 km/h (217 mph). To match the extreme performance of the luxury liner, the appearance of the four-seat car receives some sporty-elegant emphasis with BRABUS aerodynamic-enhancement components and BRABUS Monoblock "PLATINUM EDITION" 21-inch forged wheels. Another BRABUS domain is exclusive interior design.

6 luxury car brands to watch in 2024

Tue, Jan 30 2024

2023 was a healthy year for the auto industry, and even with incentives returning and dealer lots filling up, there's plenty to like about the market if you build luxury automobiles, and we expect 2024 to be more of the same, which makes luxury-segment rivalries all the more interesting. Top luxury car brand rivalries? Well, that sounds downright uncivilized. But we know better, don't we? And when every quarterly sales update is an opportunity to remind somebody else that they bought the wrong status symbol, well, who can resist? Certainly not the diehard customers who fly their favorite brands' banners high.  Read more: Auto sales: Industry records best year since 2019 Read more: 2023 auto sales and 2024 preview: Ford Bronco vs. Jeep Wrangler This is a tricky segment to define, but essentially, we're looking at luxury car brands with depth to their portfolios and dealerships that exist to attract real-world customers. The Bentleys, Rolls-Royces and McLarens of the world are luxury cars, certainly, but we're more concerned with brands that have a bit more mass appeal — manufacturers who treat supply constraints as fiascos rather than features. If you disagree with our selections, feel free to let us know in the comments.  And since we're mostly concerned with finishing order, the luxury brands and totals featured here may change as new data come in throughout 2024. Due to the wild swings of the past several years, we're treating 2023 as the baseline by which we'll measure sales performance. And rather than rank brands vs. their finishing order in 2022, when supply-chain and inflationary issues still played havoc with sales figures, we're starting 2024 off with a clean slate.  The mainstream luxury segment is always a dogfight, but with their varied approaches to electrification all of the major luxury brands are in the midst of reshaping the premium landscape. Who is doing it right? Well, according to U.S. shoppers, the usual suspects are up to their old tricks.

Mercedes spotted testing new S-Class cabrio in the snow

Wed, Feb 25 2015

A fullsize luxury convertible is a rare species. There's the Bentley Continental GTC, maybe the Aston Martin DB9 or Vanquish Volante and the Maserati GranTurismo Convertible if you won't need those rear seats too often, but that's about it. The segment seems to be expanding, though, with the imminent arrival of the drop-head version of the Rolls-Royce Wraith and the new challenger you see here. Spied undergoing winter testing in Sweden, this prototype for the upcoming Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet is wearing barely any camouflage or body cladding whatsoever. In all likelihood that's largely because it's essentially the S-Class Coupe we already know, but with a folding fabric roof: Mercedes typically keeps the origami tin-tops to two-seaters like the SL and SLK. When the new S-Class cabrio is ready to launch – probably sometime between now and the summer – it'll join an expanding array of convertible Benzes that already includes the aforementioned SL and SLK and the E-Class Cabriolet, and will soon adopt the AMG GT roadster as well.
