MUST BE TOWED OR TRAILERED TO YOUR DESTINATION! DO NOT EXPECT TO DRIVE HOME!
This car has been parked for approximately 14 months. Prior to that, it ran fine for the year or so that I drove it and I took it on several long (1000+ miles) trips and drove it extensively around town. It developed a tick and I parked it last fall. I got a newer M-B 300E at the same time that got better gas mileage, so I never looked into fixing it. I have started it a few times, but not driven it because the registration and inspection are expired and I live two blocks from the police station. Straight and complete down to the first aid kit in the rear shelf. Heated electric seats. Interior good but not perfect, please look at photos carefully. Good tires. CLEAR TEXAS TITLE.

If you are reading this, you probably already know that the 560 SEL is a very, very nice car. It was rated the safest car of the year in 1989. The L is for Limousine, and it is extra long and the back seat reclines. All the seats are heated. There are ashtrays and cigarette lighters in the rear doors. The seats are leather and the wood trim is real. Since it has been parked for over a year I will not guarantee anything other than that it will start. Please look at pictures carefully and ask any questions before buying. I did a quick survey of the car as I took the photos for this listing, and these are the only defects I noticed. This is not and exhaustive list and you may find defects that I did not notice. 

Exterior: 
Very straight with no hail damage or noticeable dents.
Original paint that needs to be repainted as clearcoat has failed.
Two small (dime and quarter size) bullseye cracks in windshield. 
Small crack in bezel surrounding headlight on passenger side.
Small hole (pencil size) and cracks in passenger marker light.
Remaining light bezels and lenses appear good.
Windshield wipers on headlights. 
Small trim piece missing on passenger side (see picture)
Bumpers, grill, chrome trim all good.
Good tires.

Interior:
Mostly intact, no cracks in dashboard.
It appears someone tried to install a new radio: wood in the center console is loose and there is a rectangular hole in front of the shifter. 
Seats are gray leather. Cracks in both front seats (see pictures)
No cracks in back seat.
Carpet is intact and complete with floormats but stained.
Missing passenger kickplate in front of door.
The glue has failed on the vinyl on the door pillars.
Missing driver's sun visor clip.
One rear speaker case is cracked and broken on one corner. 
Two small cracks in the top of the driver's door panel.
The back of the driver's seat is in the trunk and probably needs new mounting hardware. 

If someone had the time, space, and tools, this car could be parted out for much more than the purchase price. A quick search of eBay will reveal dozens of parts that can be sold for $50-$1000 each. It is my hope, however, that someone will fix this one and keep it on the road. Please ask any questions you have. 

This car is sold AS-IS and WHERE-IS, with NO warranty expressed or implied. 

Buyer is responsible for transporting the vehicle within 30 days of purchase. I will tow (prepaid) to you for $1.50 per mile from 78336. 

Please pay via PayPal invoice I will send at end of auction.

Mercedes-Benz GLK coupe to get 2016 intro

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Radio chatter around the emerging small, premium crossover coupe genre has thus far been dominated by the Land Rover Evoque and the Mini Paceman. According to a report in Car, the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class (shown above) has received its invitation to the party and will spend the next three years getting ready: it's said that two-door variant of the crisply-angled CUV is coming in 2016, along with a redesign befitting its sleeker intentions.
To be based on the MRA platform - the rear-drive version of the company's three new modular platforms, it will also support the coming 2013 S-Class and could eventually get an AMG version to help it compete with segment offerings like the forthcoming Porsche Macan. Not much else is known about it beyond its name: Car says it will be called the GLC, a friendly nomenclature we remember best as a Mazda hatchback (allegedly for "Good Little Car"). Internet oldtimers may remember the Mazda GLC as the predecessor to the 323 (which in turn came before today's Mazda3). Either way, the GLC is not to be confused with the larger upcoming BMW X6 rival based on the ML-Class (reportedly called GLS) which is also said to still be in the works, or the front-drive based GLA, a model also edging toward production.

2015 Mercedes C-Class order guide leaked

Wed, 23 Apr 2014

We may not have an official starting price for the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but as of right now, we can tell you about all the options for the eagerly anticipated new luxury sedan.
Benz Report has the entire order guide for the C-Class, with breakdowns from package pricing to how many different colors, wheel designs and lighting configurations will be available when the new model hits dealers later this year. As we mentioned in our initial review of the C-Class, there will be a pair of engine options, with the now familiar 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder available in both rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations and a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6, which can be had in all-wheel drive, only.
From there, though, the available options are impressive. Much like it does on the current car, Mercedes is offering a pair of packages that sort of define the entire car. With the C300, buyers will have the choice of either a Sport or Luxury package in addition to the base trim, while C400 buyers are limited to the Sport model.

Race Recap: 2013 Japanese Grand Prix flips several scripts [spoilers]

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

Japan's Suzuka circuit is a great track that all the drivers love, but it doesn't usually provide the most thrilling, head-to-head racing. Where it does excel, however, is with surprises and "What just happened there?!" moments, and this year it was no different.
It started with Mark Webber in his Infiniti Red Bull Racing out-qualifying his teammate Sebastian Vettel for the first time this year. They were followed closely by Lewis Hamilton in the first Mercedes-AMG Petronas, the still-solid Romain Grosjean again outdoing teammate Kimi Räikkönen, Felipe Massa racing for another seat in Formula One and putting his Ferrari in fifth, then Nico Rosberg in the second Mercedes, Nico Hülkenberg in the first Sauber, Fernando Alonso in the second Ferrari, and Räikkönen continuing to do himself no favors by qualifying tenth.
For the second year in a row, the lights going out was the cue to start the first corner action...
