1986 Mercedes 560SEL sedan.

 I purchased this car in 2002 to add to my personal collection of Mercedes vehicles.

 I bought it from the original owner, and elderly Asian woman living in Pasadena CA ( that not a folk tale)  her name and address are in the original papers which are complete including the "Window sticker" or new car invoice and all of the booklet's and records. The car was sold in Los Angeles CA,and has always been in Califorinia with its original plates .

 It had accrued 79000 miles at the time and after 12 years in my care had it now shows 83,299 as its been mostly stored with my collection. It has been exercised on a regular basis.

  I don't wish to over state the condition. The leather interior is still soft with no wear any where with the exception a slight rub mark at the very face  (not on top) of  the driver lower seat bottom. She had apparently short legs. Carpets, side panels dash ,instruments and wood consol are exceptionally nice. All the records , books and instructions including original "window sheet" are in the glove box.

 The finish is original and NO scrapes or door dings. The trim and body molding are very nice with the exception of as few very minor spotty upper window moldings in the top rear and has never been in an accident or "fender scrape of bender". The paint is smooth and shiny with some slight haze in a few top areas sighted from just the right angles. Overall a very presentable automobile.

 The tires are nearly new with factory plated wheels. The spare and tools have never been out of the trunk.

 The car is very smooth and quite powerful and alwsys properly serviced.

 I would really like anyone interested in the car to call me-Mike- 9252029880 for a detailed description prior buying the car. I want you too be satisfied and winning buyer or not you don't have to pay for the car if not completely satisfied.

 I will asssist buyer in shipping arrangements if you wish. It is also for sale locally.  

  There is no reserve I am asking somewhat  less than I paid for it.

 Thanks for watching...

 

buyer's Question

Dear lu54nd,

The car has never been smoked in and has a nice Mercedes factory leather aroma.
I think the lady that owned it was the only occupant. Even the carpets and trunk had covers or rugs over them.
I bought this as a collector car not a driver. I' m sending you my personal service records since I bought it.
The brakes are in good condition with new fluid. The A/C blows cold and it has the factory working radio and antenna.
Mike

- welldone!

New Die Hard movie wrecked 132 cars in $11 million chase scene [w/video]

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

It would seem the act of dying hard brings with it lots of wanton destruction of the four-wheeled kind. According to John Moore, director of A Good Day To Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again. Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there... That's the fun of it."
Please join us in one great big collective sigh. Done? Okay, let's continue.
"With Die Hard it's about how audacious the action is," says Moore. "So you have to drive over a Lamborghini. An actual one. And yes it hurts me. I'm a car fanatic." Yeah. Sounds like it hurt really bad... though not as bad as the final tally after all the carnage had been counted: "Someone showed me the numbers on the car chase and soup to nuts, you put it all together it was like an $11 million sequence."

Mercedes may be working on a new electric car dubbed 'Ecoluxe'

Fri, Dec 26 2014

Automobile has a lengthy piece this month on how the four German mass-market luxury manufacturers each plan to go after Tesla with their own electric vehicles. It was written by Georg Kacher, the magazine's European bureau chief, and the English version came a month after he wrote the German-language original for Autobild. Tesla isn't exactly a threat to the Germans, but, according to the report, the Model S is planting the right kinds of seeds in niches that are important to the luxury players. The thinking is that - in addition to needed electric vehicles anyway for stricter US regulations - it's better to start designing the machinery now. The article posited Porsche's attack would rest on the coming Panamera platform, but a big hurdle would be battery placement. Unable to find one large space for a lithium-ion pack, engineers would instead put batteries everywhere they could, for a supposed tally of some "108 battery pouches" throughout the body. A few days after the Automobile piece, however, Porsche publicly said it had no intention of challenging the Model S, because the enthusiastic driving the brand is known for doesn't jive with useful range. In Kacher's retelling, Mercedes' plans are even more ambitious, supposedly taking aim at the Model S and the coming Model X. It would do this with an investment in excess of $2 billion in a program called "Ecoluxe" – Mercedes has no brand division akin to BMW's i and Audi's e-tron. The new brand would create a four-strong family of bespoke electric vehicles: a smaller platform with a wheelbase around 106 inches and a larger one with a wheelbase around 118 inches. In addition, the range would have "provisions for rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and rear-wheel steering." The numbers are impressive: seating for seven in the larger vehicles, both longer than 16 feet, front and rear storage areas, ratings of up to 610 horsepower and production capacity of 80,000 units per year. When would we see such creatures? Perhaps as soon as 2019. We do know that if Tesla can knock the Model X over the outfield fence, automakers are going to have to do something. We don't know what the chances are that Ecoluxe is Mercedes' first move - but such a plan could help explain the weird Mercedes concept spied in October.

BMW reclaims US luxury sales crown from Mercedes

Tue, Jan 6 2015

The numbers, they are in: BMW has reclaimed the luxury-sales crown from Mercedes by a margin of 9,347 cars. Mercedes donned the king's headgear in 2013 after a strong final quarter of 2013 when the new CLA and S-Class poured out of dealerships. This year, led by the 3 Series/4 Series and X5, BMW sold 339,738 units – a 9.8-percent increase year-on-year. Mercedes, led by the C-Class and M-Class, saw its sales go up by 5.7 percent to 330,391 units. We'll have to wait a bit to see if there's another registrations-vs-sales challenge as in 2012, when BMW was anointed US luxury ruler. Behind them, a dark horse named Lexus nudged closer to the leading Teutons, selling 311,389 cars. The Japanese luxury automaker also had the biggest gain among the top three, its sales rising by 13.7 percent compared to 2013. Audi had the biggest sales of anyone among the top five, though, with a 15.2-percent gain to 182,011, which moved it a spot ahead of Cadillac; the Wreath-and-Crest brand dropped 6.5 percent to 170,750. Acura (167,843), Infiniti (117,300), and Lincoln (94,474) took the final positions. Speaking of Lincoln, sales at the once-mighty luxury marque stand as the mightiest jump of any on this list, up 15.6 percent. That's the power of Matthew McConaughey... and better cars and a new crossover, sure. So now that we're back to Round One of 2015, in case no one else has said it yet: "Ok, fight!"
