1992 Mercedes-benz 600sel- 1 Owner, Mint Condition, 75k Miles, California Car!!! on 2040-cars
Tarzana, California, United States
|
Hello everyone, up for sale is my absolutely stunning black on black 1992 Mercedes Benz 600SEL. My grandpa originally purchased the car for $140,000 from Simonson Mercedes-Benz Santa Monica in 1992 ($240,000 in today’s money) and still feels like a 6-digit car. He kept the car in his private car collection within his mansion in Beverly Hills nearly its entire life. Inside the garage was temperature and humidity controlled. He was the original owner, and gave me the car earlier this year as he is not able to drive anymore. I have hardly driven her since I took possession, she has been inside my garage most of the time, although I do take her out at least once a week for a short drive around the block. Car is an accident-free California car, absolutely zero rust anywhere on the car. This car includes every single option equipped for the 92 model year, she's fully loaded. The S-Class is Mercedes’s flagship model, and this was the first of their new model generation, the W140 (V140 for these long wheelbase models). Mercedes spent over a billion dollars on developing this car, and they had something to prove when they put this car out. It wasn’t designed to compete with BMW and Lexus, but rather with Rolls-Royce and Bentley. The V12 6.0 Liter engine was most powerful for the 92 model year, as emission restrictions that took place in 93 forced Mercedes to cut power. This version has a whopping 408 horsepower and 428 lb-ft. of torque propelling this beast from 0-60 in around 5.5 seconds. This same engine block is still used by some supercar manufacturers, such as Pagani, which has used tuned versions of the engine for its Zonda supercars. That being said, you hardly feel how fast you are going while driving this car. It provides the ultimate in comfort. The interior is simply cavernous, and provides massive comfort even with all the seats occupied. Rear passengers are in for a treat as they have power seats as well as seat warmer and coolers (which of course the front seats have as well, along with full lumbar support). This car was built during the time when Mercedes spent no expense in building their cars. Every single item on the vehicle is made by the finest materials. Even the new Mercedes of today can not compare. While most of Mercedes' cars today feel machine built and soulless, this vehicle truly feels hand built and assembled to the highest standards. The car runs absolutely flawlessly, a testament to how meticulously well kept and maintained this car has been. ALWAYS garaged, always taken in for service at least twice a year. Every problem area with this car has been looked at and taken care of. This includes the horrible eco-wiring harness that Mercedes were putting on their cars in the early 90’s. If this job isn’t done you’re looking at around a $6k job to get the entire wiring replaced. Also taken care of is the hydraulic suspension system. I just had the car serviced at Mr. MB Motors here in Tarzana, they went through the car and changed: -Oil and filter changed -Transmission fluid and filters changed -Vaccum hoses replaced Brakes and Brake Rotors Replaced This car still demands respect on the road. It is refined class, without being boisterous about it. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed when you see her. Everything is original, with the exception of the stereo system being upgraded completely (was a $3k job to get everything done properly) and Bluetooth integration has also been added for hands-free communication. Every single electronic still works on the car, which is a testament how no expense was spared on maintaining the vehicle. Registration has just been paid for until 2015, I also just got the car smogged (it of course passed easily). Take a look at the AutoCheck report to verify the car has had no accidents and the mileage is correct. Clean California title is on hand; everything is prepared for a caring new owner to take possession! Please feel free to ask me any questions about the car. I also have the car up for sale locally, so I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time. If you would like to come see the car before the auction ends, I will gladly help set up a viewing at the best convenience for both of us. Feel free to bring your mechanic to take a look at her as well. Sorry for the low-quality pics, I will try and post better ones later on. |

2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup shows its freshened face
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Mercedes-Benz showed us its redesigned 2014 E-Class more than a month ago, but the Detroit Auto Show finally gave us a chance to see the full family of mid-size luxury cars and wagons in the flesh. Dieter Zetsche introduced the cars, including sedan, coupe, convertible and station wagon, on stage showing the stylish new design direction.
The wagon and sedan versions (shown as the E400 Hybrid above) will go on sale this spring, while the coupe and cabriolet will hit showrooms over the summer. Check our new gallery of live shots for the entire 2014 E-Class lineup, as well as the previously released press release below.
2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class revealed again in 1:18 scale
Fri, 10 May 2013There is plenty to look forward to when it comes to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but it could end up being a fairly anticlimactic reveal thanks to fully exposed spy shots, a leaked press photo and now images of a diecast version of the luxury sedan. Autoweek.nl has images showing a highly detailed 1:18 scale model of the redesigned S-Class that matches up with everything we've seen so far.
This isn't the first time a model car spoiled a new vehicle's reveal, as the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and 2013 SRT Viper were both unceremoniously revealed in toy form first. World Car Fans is reporting that the car 2014 S-Class will be officially unveiled on May 15, but at this point, all that's left to wonder about is the official on-sale date and what will be under the hood.
2014 Mercedes SL and SLK add small expansion to Takata airbag recall
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Mercedes-Benz is the latest automaker to be affected by Takata's massive airbag recall. The company has announced a voluntary recall campaign on a small number of model-year 2014 SLK- and SL-Class roadsters.
In Mercedes' case, 300 vehicles are affected, 200 of which are in the hands of customers. According to spokesperson Donna Boland, the affected roadsters were built between March and April of this year.
The issue, which is apparently the fault of one of Takata's subcontractors, rests with some improperly installed fasteners, which could keep the airbag from performing the way it's supposed to. According to Boland, Mercedes isn't sure what, if any, injuries the recalled airbags could cause, but simply claims there's an increased risk in these particular vehicles. There's been no reported instances of the faulty airbags deploying on a customer and the original issue was found in a production test.
