 1991 Mercedes Benz 560SEL with only 60,000 miles.  The car is finished in Black Pearl Metallic with Gray soft leather upholstery.  It was purchased on 10/6/90 from Estate Motors, Golden's Bridge, NY.  The car has had one owner and ownership will be transferred with the original title.  It has been well cared for and very well preserved.  It is in excellent condition and is an extremely rare find with such low mileage.  This is the last year of the 560SEL, one of the most beautiful cars that Mercedes has ever made. 

The exterior of the car is in very good condition.  The paint is in great shape and holds a strong shine.  There is no rust anywhere on the car.  There are some scratches, dings, sap marks, etc, however, far less than you would expect on a car of this age; the most prominent of which is an indentation on the right side of the panel that holds the rear marker plate.  All glass, plastic and trim pieces are in very good shape and have no damage.  The chrome is in excellent condition.  The wheels are also in very good shape.

The interior of the car is in excellent condition.  The leather is in great shape and has no holes or tears in the upholstery.  The original color and finish are bright as a result of having been garaged.  The seats hold their original shape, spring and form.  The headliner sits perfectly with no sign of sag.  There are no cracks in the dash.  The wood is in very good condition, holding a deep bright color and only showing a couple of hairline surface cracks near the shift bezel.  A mobile phone had been installed, however, it has been removed and is in the trunk.  The car has not been smoked in and has no strange odors.  The carpets are free from any noticeable dirt or stains.

Mechanically, the car is in very good condition.  The engine is fast and extremely powerful.  The transmission shifts perfectly smooth.  The steering is tight and there are no strange noises or rattles.  There are no check engine, ABS, air bag etc. lights on.  All interior functions are working with the exception of the locks and the rear passenger window.  Power seats, heated seats (front and rear),  reclining rear seat, sunroof, climate etc. are all working.  Heat is hot and A/C is cold.  The locks do work manually but have lost power operation.  The left, rear window had trouble making it up the last time it was used and I have not used it since.  Also, the antenna will not fully extend, it goes up 2/3 of the way.  The owner's manual and other manuals are present.  The tires have plenty of tread on them.  Front brakes and wheel bearings are brand new.  Lastly, if the car sits for a period of time, the rear feels somewhat bouncy for the first several miles.  When it is used on a regular basis, it is not noticeable. 

These cars have a legendary reputation for their comfort, engineering and build quality.  This 560SEL is a very rare find being in very good condition, having extremely low miles and being the right color.  Most examples of this model have not been properly maintained and abused.  This car has been very well preserved and is in very impressive condition.  I have tried to describe the car as thoroughly and accurately as possible.  If you have any further questions, would like specific photos or would like to see the car, please let me know.

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.

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.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Coupe

Thu, 31 Jan 2013


Mercedes-Benz upgraded its SLS flagship Coupe and Roadster for the 2013 model year, and the changes are marked with them new "GT" nomenclature. Both SLS models arrive with a retuned naturally aspired 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque (the horses are up from 563, but the torque remains the same) mated to a revised seven-speed AMG Speedshift dual-clutch gearbox. Rounding out the mechanical upgrades is a redeveloped AMG two-mode adaptive suspension. Physically, the revised models are differentiated by their new "GT" badging, darkened headlight/taillight buckets, red brake calipers, unique wheel colors and high gloss finish on the front grille, exterior mirrors and hood/fender fins. Inside the cabin are new red seatbelts, Alcantara upholstery and contrasting red stitching.
As it is nearly impossible to experience the aluminum gullwing beast on public roads, Mercedes invited out to Southern California's Willow Springs to wring out the 2013 SLS GT Coupe on a racing circuit.
