For your consideration, the last
of the true German made luxury classics. The flag ship for the 1991
model year is considered by collectors to be the finest example of Mercedes engineering and refinement. After 1991 these cars were
made either here in America or in Canada. This was the very last year
they were built in Germany.
This 22 year old beauty has been lovingly maintained over the years
and has averaged less than 5,000 miles a year over her life time. She
is one of, (if not they) nicest 560 SEL's on the East Coast. Included
is the original window sticker and every single maintenance record
dating back to the original purchase. The car is from Las Vegas
(originally purchased from Fletcher Jones Imports, Las Vegas NV). She
has only been in the Philadelphia area for 2 years, always garage kept.
Runs great, drives very smoothly, perfect daily driver for the
discerning individual who desires the status and luxury that comes from
only the finest Mercedes Benz ever built.
EVERY THING works on this car as it should. When I purchased her
in Feb of 2013 I had her completely gone over by a Mercedes factory
authorized master mechanic and fixed or replaced any and all issues that
can sometimes problematic after 20 years. I purchased this same model
new in 1991 and drove it for over 250K miles before parting with her and
it was one of few cars I have every regretted parting with. This one
was bought with the full intention of driving her and keeping her for
many more years. My ONLY reason for selling her is that I am now
restoring two classic cars for my own private collection and will not
have the garage space for her over the winter. I can't stand the idea of
her sitting outside. So it is time for some one else to enjoy her
comforts.
Work recently completed:
- Rear leveling system replaced ($4000 worth of part and labor)
- New Shocks
- Brakes replaced
- Fan Motor Clutch
- New fuel tank (old tank had a pin hole leak and did not want to just patch it)
- New injectors (yes she is a full injected V-8...that's what the "E" in SEL stands for).
- New Heater Core (heat and air blow hot in winter, icy cold in summer).
- Transmission completely rebuilt like new
- Complete tune up with Spark plugs, wires and rotor and distributor replaced
- New battery
- New dark window tinting (PA legal).
- Professionally detailed every 2 weeks. Paint is original and in VERY good shape.
- Pennsylvania inspection (safety + emissions) good through December of 2013
The one and only "flaw" in the car is a minor tear in the window
pillar vinyl. A common problem for this make and year and can easily be
repaired by an upholsterer. I have included a photo of this.
This was a sentimental restoration for me and I know that I have
more in her than she will sell for (almost $12K). My reserve is set at
just over 1/2 that amount and she is worth every penny of that. I have
listed her on EBAY twice before and every one is looking to steal this
car for $3500-$4000. That's not going to happen. Hemmings Motor news
recently had an article on this year,,make and model stating "the 1991
Mercedes 560 SEL is the epitome of classic Mercedes Benz style,
prestige, comfort and luxury". "True collectors have missed out on the
potential of the finest example of flag ship engineering that Mercedes
has produced in over 50 year". The car's value has stayed constant over
the last 5 year but will only increase in years to come.
Buyers must have a current Pay-Pal account and will be responsible
for a $500 deposit with in 48 hours of the end of bidding. The rest
will be due as either a bank check or wire transfer on time of pick up
or delivery. I am more than happy assist in finding a reputable
shipper (I have shipped many cars over the last 20 years) , BUT shipping
costs will be solely on the buyer.
I do have the car listed locally and reserve the right to end this
auction at any time. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have either via email or call 484-639-2717. Enjoy the bidding, and more important enjoy the car. Thank you On Oct-22-13 at 19:44:28 PDT, seller added the following information: I've received several emails letting me know of a mistake in this listing regarding the exterior color of this vehicle. The correct color of the car is indeed white, as shown in the picture. I apologize for the mistake of listing it as black at the top of the listing in the description part of the listing. Once again, the vehicle is WHITE with gray interior. |

Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG formalize technical partnership
Thu, 19 Dec 2013The development of a partnership between Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin has been a long time coming. The news dates back to 2008, and over the five years since was supposed to lead to a rejuvenation of both the Maybach and Lagonda brands. That program ultimately fell apart, but the tie-in was forged afresh in July when the two automakers signed a letter of intent over a renewed partnership. And now that partnership has been formalized.
In a deal just announced, Mercedes-AMG will build a new V8 engine for Aston Martin that will power a new generation of luxury GTs for the British marque, presumably to replace the 4.7-liter V8 in the Vantage. The relationship appears to be similar to the one already in place between AMG and Pagani, only in this case, will involve Daimler taking as much as a five-percent stake in Aston Martin and an observer seat on Aston's board.
The technical partnership is also set to lead to the supply of electric and electronic systems, and could incorporate "additional areas of cooperation in the future." Whether that will include a fresh attempt at reviving Lagonda remains to be seen, as does the future of Aston's long-serving, Ford-based 6.0-liter V12 engine. But for now you can read the full announcement below.
13-year-old boy swipes dad's Mercedes, drives across Europe
Wed, 16 Jan 2013After an argument with his adoptive parents that resulted in them taking away his mobile phone, an angry 13-year-old boy ran away from his home in Italy and headed straight to Poland to meet his biological sister. But instead of taking the train or hitching a ride, like most on the run, the young man (an accomplished go-kart racer and car enthusiast) grabbed the keys to his father's Mercedes-Benz and jumped behind the wheel for an impromptu road trip.
With less than 200 euros (about $270) in his wallet and a passport in his pocket, the youngster managed to put more than 500 miles between himself and his distraught parents, crossing two international borders in the process, before German police nabbed him just shy of the Polish border. According to reports, the vehicle was tracked - it wasn't his driving that alerted authorities to his location.
Reunited with his mother and father, who traveled to Germany to retrieve both their son and the vehicle, the young man apologized and acknowledged his error. As a result of his actions, social workers will increase checks on the family and we can be sure his parents are now hiding the keys.
Mercedes testing C-Class plug-in hybrid modes in Germany
Wed, 07 May 2014Testing appears to be underway for what would be the first Mercedes-Benz C-Class with a hybrid powertrain. We can see a pair of the prototypes undergoing testing in Germany, with one, a C-Class Wagon, still heavily clad in camouflage and featuring a more noticeable outlet on the passenger side of its rear bumper.
There's also a more production-looking sedan, which features a not-so-discreet flap over its rear-bumper outlet. It's difficult to speculate on power outputs for this fuel-sipping C-Class, although our spies seem to think that this car will feature some combination of a four-cylinder gas engine with an electric motor, although just which four is unclear (note, we wouldn't mind if MB fit its 2.0-liter turbo with some batteries and motors). Regardless, the four-pot/electric motor seems like a pretty reasonable combo, although it probably means that Mercedes won't be challenging the six-cylinder-powered system of the BMW ActiveHybrid3 any time soon.
When the plug-in C-Class arrives later this year as a 2015 model, it will likely offer a full range of driving modes, including both gas or electric, only, as well as a more traditional hybrid mode.
