UTTERLY AMAZING AND ELEGANT1988 MERCEDES BENZ 420 SEL

W126 S-Class

with stamped maintenance records. Only 2 owners since new!!!!!

If you are looking at this ad you are probably already familiar with the magnificent s-class Mercedes of the late 80's and early 90's.  No one needs to tell you that they were and are world class motorcars.

This Mercedes has been meticulously owned and maintained by only two owners since new!!!  The original owners bought the car new and kept it into their 80's.  After the wife died the husband kept the car for several years before offering this stunning and mint motor car for sale.  The current owner bought the car to add to his collection and has continued to meticulously care for the car.  This car is absolutely amazing in it's condition.  The biggest flaw on the car's finish is pointed out in one of the photographs.....a 1.5 inch scratch on the top of the left rear quarter that has been touched up years ago with the factory touch up paint.  And just to clarify...look at the picture carefully.  There looks like another scratch in the paint but that is in fact merely the reflection from the concrete driveway joint in the paint!!!  The paint is near flawless with no fading or cracking of clear coat.  Literally the only visible place is the photo described.

The interior is stunning with all carpets in perfect condition.  As you can see the carpets are covered with color matching shag mats so as not to stain or soil the Mercedes floor mats.
The only interior flaw is the slight discoloration of the trim that holds the nylon netting on the back of the seats.  This could easily be resprayed by a professional interior re-finisher.

This beautiful motorcar runs and drives as well as it looks.  The A/C is working and blows cold.  Car is road worthy.

The car has been in Georgia the vast majority of it's life. The original owners plate shows Sunnydale, Ca and then owners moved to Atlanta, Georgia where the car remains to this day.

This car is the real deal with no surprises.
Simply put it's just amazing! 
 
The car is sold in "as is/were is" condition and their are no warranties expressed or implied.  This is a legally binding auction and please do not bid on this car unless you are able and willing to purchase it at auctions close.  New Ebayers or Ebayers with negative feedback please do not bid on the motorcar without first contacting seller. 

The reason seller is offering this car for sale is that his daughter is getting married in the fall and he is letting go of a few of his collector cars to pay for a "few" folks dinner after the wedding.  Seller reserves the right to end auction early prior to the reserve being met. 

There are no test drives after the auction has ended.  Inspections are welcome prior to auctions end for qualified buyers.  This car is not for the faint of heart or wallet.  It's the real deal and there are very few S-Class Cars from this period remaining in this outstanding condition with such few miles.  This pictures are a fair representation of the car. Photographs were taking after simply using a California duster to remove garage dust.  The car has not been washed in six months. 



The Mercedes-Benz W126 is a series of flagship vehicles manufactured by German automotive marque Mercedes-Benz. Premiering in September 1979 as the successor to the earlier W116 line, the W126 was the second generation of the Mercedes-Benz flagship to officially bear the S-Class name referring to Sonderklasse or "special class." The W126 was initially offered in straight-6, V8, and turbo diesel sedan models. In September 1981, 2-door coup'e versions of the W126 were introduced. Compared to its predecessor, the W126 was more aerodynamic, fuel efficient, capacious, and powerful. The W126 S-Class debuted a new Mercedes-Benz design style which was subsequently used on other vehicles in the company's lineup. The W126 line also introduced many Mercedes-Benz safety innovations, including the first airbag supplemental restraint systems, seatbelt pretensioners, and traction control.

A new mercedes of this caliber is around $100,000.  This car at the time listed for high $50's to mid $60's and with inflation pushes $100K.  A guest at seller's home recently asked "is that a new Mercedes?"  Drive this car for a few years and make it a collector.  Or add it to your collection today!!

The car is located in McDonough, Georgia which is a suburb of Atlanta and is located approximately 25 miles from Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport.  Fly in and drive it home!!!


Vehicle must be paid for in full and funds cleared before car will be released from seller.  Car is to be paid for in full within 7 days of auction close.  Please do not bid if you aren't prepared and able to complete sale.

Next Mercedes-Benz C-Class to get diesel, hybrid versions

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

Mercedes-Benz is planning a more aggressive product strategy for its next-generation C-Class range. "We were fighting the 3 Series with two arms tied behind our back, and now we will change that," Steve Cannon, the automaker's US CEO, told Automotive News in a recent interview.
In addition to offering more body styles of the new C-Class, AN reports that the revamped Mercedes will also be offered here with hybrid and diesel powertrains. Currently, the C-Class comes in coupe and sedan variants, with only gasoline engines. The BMW 3 Series, however, is available as a sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon, and offers buyers the choice of gasoline, diesel (the upcoming 328d) or hybrid power.
Mercedes-Benz will show the next-generation C-Class at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, with sales of the US-built sedan following in August. Coupe, convertible and hybrid models will follow in early 2015, and while diesel and all-wheel-drive versions are planned, no specific timetable has been released regarding availability.

Europe getting special Mercedes-Benz CLA Edition 1

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

Last week when we saw the leaked ordering guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, one particular image caught our eye showing the interior of the new sedan with a neon yellow stripe on the seats and yellow stitching throughout the cabin. As it turns out, this will be part of a limited-edition model called the Edition 1 about which Mercedes-Benz just released some information.
Usually, automakers wait until later in a vehicle's life to introduce special models like this, but the Edition 1 will be available right out of the gate for the first 12 months the CLA-Class is on sale. The 2014 CLA-Class Edition 1 includes the more aggressive Sport package adding AMG-style fascias and wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights and a lowered suspension; it will be offered only in five colors - unfortunately, Northern Lights Purple is not one of them. In addition to the bright yellow cabin accents, the Edition 1 will get sport seats wrapped in leather and microfiber, a sporty, flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather and real aluminum trim on the instrument panel.
With no mention of the US, we're only left to imagine that this car will not be arriving on our shores, but customers in Europe will definitely be able to enjoy the mean styling and funky interior with prices ranging from 35,402 euros up to 43,940 euros.

Mercedes-Benz releases stunning first images of 2014 S-Class

Mon, 18 Mar 2013


The all-new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, designated W222, is one of the most highly anticipated debuts of its model year. Every generation of the flagship sedan has broken new ground in technology and innovation for the entire industry, and the German automaker appears determined to raise the bar much further with its latest arrival as it promises to deliver "the best automobile in the world." Mercedes-Benz has just released nearly two dozen interior images of the new sedan, showing off style in design, craftsmanship in execution and pioneering advancements in technology.
Unlike all previous generations - the first S-Class officially arrived in 1972 - the 2014 model completely discards a traditional instrument cluster and replaces it with two high-resolution color displays in 8:3 format with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches (the outgoing model's gauges were a mix of digital and analog). The left unit displays traditional analog gauges (digitally, of course) while the right unit is reserved for infotainment and comfort settings with the automaker's all-new mBrace2 - a cloud-based entertainment and information delivery system that is rolling out this year.
