Up for auction is my 1988 Mercedes Benz 560 SEC coupe with 101046 miles ( the milage may be a bit higher by end of auction due to test drives and my personal usage). I purchased this car last summer from the 2nd owner as a driver / minor restoration project. I've installed a headliner, new battery, replaced both stereo amps, resealed the rear window, had the air conditioner serviced and had the fuel and air filters replaced. In November someone backed into the front of the car while parked causing the damage to the hood, grill, and a minor bend in the front radiator support (which I've straightened for the most part) { please see pictures}. Being I have two other projects and a limited budget I've decided to part with the Benz.

The engine runs good with plenty of power. Steering feels good, the car feels solid going straight and in turns. The transmission shifts nicely thru all gears and downshifts on demand. All electronics are working properly with the exception of the fuel gauge, which only reads from 1/2 tank down to empty ( the most important half in my opinion ) and the cruise control does not function at all. The sunroof is fully functional. Tires are good. The interior is in very good condition for it's age. The only interior issues are the seams on the rear seat backs opened and need to be restitched and a very small crack in the dash pad by the left speaker grill {please see pictures}.

Ok now the issues .... The engine idles high, around 1500 RPM, ( I've been told it may need an idle control motor ? ). The engine has a minor oil leak. ( after sitting a couple days I see a small spot on the ground ). The air conditioner isn't working again due to the accident ( it will need either a condenser, line that hooks to the condenser or both ). The body is very nice except for the following.... obviously it needs either repair or replacement of the hood and grill. The clear coat has peeled away on the trunk {please see pictures}. The roof has a couple spots where the clear looks a little thin. There is a single ding on the sunroof. There is 1 small spot on the drivers quarter panel where the paint is bubbled {please see pictures}.

I've tried to give as accurate a description as possible, but nothing beats your own eyes, I encourage you to come inspect test drive, and have a mechanic inspect and check the car out. Ask all your questions before you bid. This vehicle is being sold "as is where is" and there are no warrantees expressed or implied. You will be responsible for shipping or pick up. The vehicle is located in Bronx New York.

Chris Harris and David Coulthard wring out a Mercedes Fintail at the N"urburgring

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

If there's one thing we've learned from the latest video from Drive, it's that the combination of Chris Harris and David Coulthard will produce some very quotable moments. Take this exchange, for example.
DC: "We are by some way the slowest."
CH: "But we're in a class of three cars, apparently."

Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG officially teased in mini video

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

The followup to the Mercedes-Benz S550, the S63 AMG, will sport a biturbocharged V8 that will likely turn out around 550 horsepower. The new engine is probably the 5.5-liter, biturbocharged V-8 that's been popping up in everything from the ML63 to the E63 AMG. The front fascia is more aggressive, which shouldn't come as a surprise, while a meaty exhaust setup can be found out back.
We managed to pick all that up from a short, 17-second video posted by MB. The original video that unveiled the S63 AMG has since been pulled down, making this YouTube clip the best look we now have at the new super sedan, at least until the Germans give up the goods for real.
Be sure to check out the video below, along with our original posting on the S63 AMG.

Mercedes-Benz killing Maybach in 2013, replacing with S600 Pullman

Fri, 25 Nov 2011

According to an unnamed Mercedes-Benz source speaking with AutoWeek, the German automaker is killing off its Maybach line in 2013.
The unsurprising news comes after the brand was resurrected in 2002, but failed to meet sales expectations with its two core models, the Maybach 57 and 62. Further solidifying its fate, a deal with Aston Martin to aid in the development of future Maybachs fell through earlier this year.
According to the AutoWeek insider, the plan is to continue to sell both Maybach models through the end of 2013, after which the fifth-generation S-Class will go on sale. When that happens, three new variants of the S-Class will be available, including an all-new, range-topping S600 that brings back the Pullman moniker and may be better suited to competing with the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce.
