 1991 Mercedes Benz 560SEL with only 60,000 miles.  The car is finished in Black Pearl Metallic with Gray soft leather upholstery.  It was purchased on 10/6/90 from Estate Motors, Golden's Bridge, NY.  The car has had one owner and ownership will be transferred with the original title.  It has been well cared for and very well preserved.  It is in excellent condition and is an extremely rare find with such low mileage.  This is the last year of the 560SEL, one of the most beautiful cars that Mercedes has ever made. 

The exterior of the car is in very good condition.  The paint is in great shape and holds a strong shine.  There is no rust anywhere on the car.  There are some scratches, dings, sap marks, etc, however, far less than you would expect on a car of this age; the most prominent of which is an indentation on the right side of the panel that holds the rear marker plate.  All glass, plastic and trim pieces are in very good shape and have no damage.  The chrome is in excellent condition.  The wheels are also in very good shape.

The interior of the car is in excellent condition.  The leather is in great shape and has no holes or tears in the upholstery.  The original color and finish are bright as a result of having been garaged.  The seats hold their original shape, spring and form.  The headliner sits perfectly with no sign of sag.  There are no cracks in the dash.  The wood is in very good condition, holding a deep bright color and only showing a couple of hairline surface cracks near the shift bezel.  A mobile phone had been installed, however, it has been removed and is in the trunk.  The car has not been smoked in and has no strange odors.  The carpets are free from any noticeable dirt or stains.

Mechanically, the car is in very good condition.  The engine is fast and extremely powerful.  The transmission shifts perfectly smooth.  The steering is tight and there are no strange noises or rattles.  There are no check engine, ABS, air bag etc. lights on.  All interior functions are working with the exception of the locks and the rear passenger window.  Power seats, heated seats (front and rear),  reclining rear seat, sunroof, climate etc. are all working.  Heat is hot and A/C is cold.  The locks do work manually but have lost power operation.  The left, rear window had trouble making it up the last time it was used and I have not used it since.  Also, the antenna will not fully extend, it goes up 2/3 of the way.  The owner's manual and other manuals are present.  The tires have plenty of tread on them.  Front brakes and wheel bearings are brand new.  Lastly, if the car sits for a period of time, the rear feels somewhat bouncy for the first several miles.  When it is used on a regular basis, it is not noticeable. 

These cars have a legendary reputation for their comfort, engineering and build quality.  This 560SEL is a very rare find being in very good condition, having extremely low miles and being the right color.  Most examples of this model have not been properly maintained and abused.  This car has been very well preserved and is in very impressive condition.  I have tried to describe the car as thoroughly and accurately as possible.  If you have any further questions, would like specific photos or would like to see the car, please let me know.

Mercedes AMG and Cigarette Racing debut 2,220-HP electric motor boat

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

Take the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell, stretch it and take off the wheels then make it float and you've basically got the just-unveiled Cigarette AMG Electric Drive Concept. Powered by an all-electric powertrain that offers 2,200 horsepower and 2,213 pound-feet of torque (and uses "numerous components" taken from the not-quite-as-yellow SLS AMG Coupé Electric Drive), the sleek concept is being called the "world's most powerful electric drive powerboat." What that means is a top speed of over 100 miles per hour from four 60-kWh lithium-ion batteries and two banks of six liquid-cooled, permanent-magnet synchronous electric motors. And the 240 kWh of total energy should provide plenty of juice out on the water.
Launched (but not literally) at the Miami International Boat Show today, the Cigarette AMG Electric Drive Concept is the result of a partnership between Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing. The boat is 38 feet long (much longer than the 15-foot SLS) and is plastered with AMG branding on the sides and top of the bow above the matte chrome yellow paint (officially called AMG Electricbeam mango). Two 220-kW chargers can refill the batteries, dockside, in about seven hours.
The idea of a powerful electric boat is nothing new (Henrik Fisker talked about a plug-in hybrid watercraft late last year), but this is the first time we've seen Mercedes put its EV technology on the water. Anyone who's afraid of driving an EV in the rain should take note. Check out the complete press release below.

Mercedes-Benz USA considering moving south

Wed, Dec 17 2014

Mercedes-Benz may be a German automaker first and foremost, but it's a global operation. Among its many offices around the world, the company employs some 800 staffers at its US headquarters in New Jersey. But that office could be moving down South in the near future. According to reports in the Atlanta Business Chronicle, the Wall Street Journal and Automotive News, Mercedes is looking into relocating its American head office from Montvale, NJ, where it's been based since 1972, to one of several locations under consideration below the Mason-Dixon line. Among the front-runners is Atlanta, where Porsche bases its North American operations. The presence of a trained workforce, necessary infrastructure, compliant officials and proximity to a major hub for international air traffic could make the Georgian metropolis an attractive proposition for Mercedes. Several locations in North Carolina are also said to be under consideration, as well. Either way, MBUSA's relocation to the South would put it closer to its assembly plant in Tuscaloosa, AL, and to the Port of Brunswick near Savannah from which it ships out those vehicles made in Alabama to points overseas. The relocation project is reportedly being handled by commercial real-estate firm JLL Inc, which is helping Toyota handle its relocation from southern California and Ohio to Texas. Sources don't expect, however, for New Jersey to let Mercedes go without a fight. The state's Grow NJ Assistance Program could offer MBUSA an attractive incentives package to stay in Montvale. The company previously planned in 1998 to relocate to Pearl River, NY, but ultimately ended up staying in Jersey.
