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.

Daimler could sell off Li-Tec's EV battery business

Sat, May 24 2014

Five-plus years may have been about enough time for Daimler AG to know whether it wanted to be in the battery-pack production business. The Mercedes-Benz parent may stop making electric-vehicle batteries and ultimately sell its Li-Tec battery-cell factory in Germany within two years, according to Bloomberg News which cites Manager Magazin. The beneficiary may be LG Electronics, which would likely take over battery-production duties for models such as Daimler's Smart ED battery-electric vehicle. Daimler is taking a number of steps to improve profit margins, which are thinner than those of its German rivals like BMW. Like its German competition, the company has lagged behind companies such as Nissan, Renault and Tesla Motors in terms of aggressively pursuing growth via plug-in vehicle sales. Daimler spokesman Hendrik Sackmann, in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen, would only say that the battery business is growing "rapidly" and that Li-Tec is developing "according to our plans." "Regarding Li-Tec, we are working on a concept for the future line-up," he added. "The battery cells for the successor of the Smart electric drive won't be provided by Li-Tec." Daimler in 2008 launched Li-Tec as a joint venture with Evonik, though Daimler recently put plans together to buy out Evonik's 50-percent share of Li-Tec, Bloomberg reported last month. Evonik's role was manufacturing electrodes and separators for batteries. Daimler also said last fall that it was looking to cooperate more extensively with Tesla in regards to electric vehicle development. The two companies first said they'd work together in 2009.

Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series gives the rich and famous what they want

Sat, Aug 17 2024

TOPANGA, Calif. – Give the people what they want, right? Especially if they're extremely wealthy. And possibly famous.  Apparently, the requests for a convertible Maybach from existing owners and/or celebrities were so frequent and insistent that the uber-luxury offshoot of Mercedes-Benz finally decided to give them just that. The 2025 Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series answers the call. While all other Maybachs are based on a Mercedes-Benz, this is the first Maybach to be based on a car developed by AMG: the current-generation SL 55 and SL 63. This presented a greater challenge to engineers than past efforts. Although a sportier Maybach was intended (as opposed to modern Maybach's first drop-top effort, the Maybach S 650 Cabriolet), the SL 680 is, not surprisingly, seeking a much different dynamic end goal than its AMG-only cousins. According to Maybach product manager Hannes Meyer, the far shorter wheelbase than the Maybach norm was a particular challenge in making sure that its convertible offering maintained "the same ease and nearly floating driving experience" expected of the brand. To that end, the Maybach SL shares the SL 63's air suspension and trick AMG Active Control interconnected hydraulically controlled dampers, but the tuning is changed, especially with the rear air springs as the driver sits closer to those. Meyer says the damper valves in particular have a greater range between sportiness and comfort than the SL 63. The steering system is totally Maybach-specific, including a different ratio and more upright front camber, resulting in what Meyer described as a more stable and less aggressive setup than what you'd find in the SL 63.  Before you start looking for a 6.8-liter engine in the Mercedes arsenal, remember that those numbers don't really mean anything anymore. The Maybach SL 680 has exactly the same 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 as the SL 63 good for 577 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. The nine-speed AMG transmission is the same in terms of hardware, but it has totally different software. In particular, the 2-3 and 3-4 shifts are most different in order to provide a smoother, more Maybach acceleration experience. The 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive system is also shared, but is programmed to have a more balanced front-to-rear power split than the rear-biased AMG. Finally, the exhaust has been retuned. Meyer said that up to 2,800 rpm, the exhaust isn't quieter than what you'd experience in the AMGs, it just has a different tone.
