Mercedes 126 W126 560sec Coupe, Taupe W/creme Beige Interior, Great Condition on 2040-cars
Alexandria, Virginia, United States
This is a two owner, original Mercedes 560SEC coupe. Has been maintained by MB dealer since new. Complete maintenance and repair records since new. Car has been owned since 1994 by current owner, who is an MBCA enthusiast with a collection of classic and antique Mercedes. This car has never been in an accident except for a couple of door dings and a 2MPH bump on the rear bumper which caused no damage and was repainted at the MB dealer. Car is in almost perfect mechanical condition. Only things needing attention are the cruise control amplifier (common issue) and reconnection of the sun visor mirror lights. Car has an updated Becker CD player radio, but original radio is included in working condition. Also, there are two sets of OEM wheels for summer and winter tires. The interior is also in outstanding condition, with supple leather seats with no tears or rips. Trunk is likewise very clean, with the only issue being where cleaner was leaked into the passenger wheel well depression. The carpet covering can be replaced by any reputable upholsterer on this part for about $150.00 if perfection is sought. John Olson's book, The SL Experience notes that the W126 coupe is the rarest Mercedes produced during the golden years of the 80s, before Mercedes ceased to be over engineered and plastic replaced leather and metal in their line. Less than 2,000 of these cars were made per year, and the 1990 and 1991 models are the last and most sought of this model. These rare coupes are starting to appreciate and will continue to appreciate in the future. This car just floats down the interstate with the most luxurious ride imaginable, better than today's cars. The 5.6 liter V8 provides ample power to do as you please in this car. Likewise, the body structure is extremely strong with no rattles and vibrations. The car has European glass halogen lights mounted, but the original US spec lights will also go with the car. This car offers perhaps the most for the money of any used car on the market today. You can drive it every day, and it will provide many, many years of pleasure. The engine and drivetrain is bulletproof, capable of going hundres of thousands of miles without the need of any rebuild if maintained to MB specs. This car gets lots of attention and thumbs up. The mechanics at the Mercedes dealership will ask you if you want to sell it when you drive in for scheduled oil changes or service. This car can win prizes in local Mercedes shows with all records and original books intact along with tool roll etc. I am selling it only to make room for other vehicles on my bucket list. BTW, this is my wife's favorite car. If you have any questions, I can provide the number of our master MB mechanic, known in the DC area as the Car Whisperer, who can vouch for the conditiion of this car. I am also happy to answer any questions for you--just ring me at 703.799.7465. The reserve is most reasonable. I am only asking a fair price for this classic car and am willing to sell it early based on a reasonable offer. The colors of desert taupe with a creme beige interior are gorgeous in any climate. Additional pictures are available on request. I will assist with pick up of vehicle by commercial shippers.

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.

Car dealers, factories and ports close in the path of Hurricane Florence
Thu, Sep 13 2018Hurricane Florence has caused CarMax to close four stores in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. The closed locations are in Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Winterville and Virginia Beach. It is possible for the company to close more stores, reports Automotive News. Daimler and Volvo have also shuttered their manufacturing facilities in the region to prepare for Florence. The storm is expected to reach North Carolina and South Carolina today or tomorrow. Automotive News says every coastal car dealer it reached on Tuesday was closing, and others not in the projected landfall area were monitoring the situation. There are approximately nine million vehicles in operation in the area that Florence is expected to hit, with a vehicle density of 162 vehicles per square mile. It is likely that not as many vehicles will be lost as during hurricanes Harvey and Irma, as population is less dense; areas affected by those storms had over 300 vehicles per square mile. The chief economist of Cox Automotive told Automotive News that some 20,000 to 40,000 vehicles could end up flooded if Florence keeps its path; however, recent reports have indicated Florence has weakened to a category 2 hurricane on Thursday. Tesla has again unlocked more range for some of its older models to make evacuation easier; the same was done a year ago in preparation for Hurricane Irma. As well as automotive manufacturers and dealers, automotive transport providers are readying for the storm and clearing cargo away. The container and auto terminals at Port Charleston will be closed from Thursday to Saturday, affecting part shipments to the BMW manufacturing facility in Spartanburg; BMW's spokespersons have said no production disruption is expected. Parts are delivered via railroad to Spartanburg by Norfolk Southern, which is also suspending operations for the time being. Vehicle hauler United Road has moved its rigs to safer regions and suspended deliveries, and car carrier vessels are trying to make it away from the storm's path in time.

2016 German Grand Prix race recap: so-so racing, great questions
Mon, Aug 1 2016We can summarize the 2016 German Grand Prix in one sentence: Mercedes-AMG Petronas driver Lewis Hamilton started second on the grid, passed pole-sitter and teammate Nico Rosberg before the first corner, and dominate to the finish. In fact, Hamilton turned his engine power output down on Lap 3 and still took the checkered flag seven seconds ahead of Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo. Ricciardo's teammate Max Verstappen crossed the line another six seconds back. Rosberg fell to fourth at the first corner and couldn't find the pace to reel in the Red Bulls. His questionable pass on Verstappen didn't help when the stewards penalized Rosberg five seconds; the overtake reminded us of Rosberg's move on teammate Hamilton in Austria. That penalty turned into eight seconds when the Mercedes-AMG Petronas stopwatch didn't work in the pits. Ferrari pilots Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen finished fifth and sixth. Those six drivers all started in the top six, too. Behind them, on Lap 28 of the 67-lap race the next four drivers were Valtteri Bottas in the Williams, Nico Hulkenberg in the Force India, and Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso in McLarens. Low fuel and old tires put the kibosh on Alonso's pace just four laps from the finish, allowing Force India's Sergio Perez to pass, rounding out the top ten. The issues up for debate during the four-week break are far more interesting than the weekend's race. As bad as Ferrari's day might have been – and we'll get to that – Rosberg probably took the biggest hit, losing the race before the first corner for the second weekend in a row and falling 19 points behind Hamilton. Rosberg won the first four races of the season, then the teammates tripped over one another in Spain. Hamilton's won six of the seven races since Spain, Rosberg's best result in that time is a second-place in Hungary. Hamilton turned his engine down on Lap 3 (!) because he's used his entire season's allotment of five turbochargers and five MGU-Ks. Those early-season gremlins now have him on edge of grid penalties. Unless Hamilton's momentum cools off in August, however, that reliability danger might be the only dent in his armor. Rosberg, who once led the Championship by 43 points, will surely drown in his thoughts – and maybe schnapps – over the summer break. Whatever the Italian word for "meditation" is, there'll be a lot of it at Ferrari during the F1 summer break.
