Below are the details. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.
-1992 500 sel white/grey ext, mushroom interior.
-W220 AMG staggered wheels.
-116k+ miles.
-I bought it from the original owner family.
-Always garaged since new.
-Previous owner didn't keep records but I did since I got it. Below are the items I've done:
+New engine mounts.
+New rear accumulators.
+Used known good EZL.
+New belt tensioner.
+New distributor caps. (old ones are original since new and nothing's wrong. But my mechanic pointed out that there is an updated part so I swapped it out when replaced the EZL)
+New kick down switch.
+Oil changes every 4k-5k with mobil 1 synthetic oil.
+New battery.
-The wiring harness is almost new (previous owner mentioned he swapped it already and my mechanic inspected the wires and all seems to be in good order. You can check it on your own.)
-Still has original key box. Two remote keys and one valet key.
-Interior is immaculate with no tears or worn spots.
-All electronics work. AC blows ice cold. Soft close works on all doors and trunk (including the close assist flap).
-Rear power bench with seat heaters.
-Transmission shifts very smooth.
-The car rides and drives very well.
-Engine idle is very stable and temp never goes above 100. Always btw 80 and 100 no matter how hot outside. Speaking of temps, the aux fans works just fine.
-Engine doesn't burn oil. Doesn't leak any fluids.
-Paint is still shinny and has a lot of life left. Usual small nicks and chips.
That's the good stuff that I can think of. I'll update if I can think of more.
Here are some cons:
-When engaging the turn signal, the dash warnings blink for a split second. Everything is still functional and no issues with operation but just blinks really quick.
-One of the rear vanity mirror lock is broken so I have to keep it in place with small piece of paper.
-Radio works fine but just needs a little warming up. When you turn it on, the sound is weak but after a couple of minutes it sounds just fine. (One of the best sounding systems I have heard, better than the H.K sys in my dad'sw221 and better than the lynn sys in my DB9. )
Well that's pretty much it. Some of you may ask why am I selling it?? The answer is .. I am bored. I need something different. I need something with manual tran. My DB9 is auto, w124 is auto and the w140 is auto, so I want something small, fun and with manual tran.

Mercedes-Benz GLK coupe to get 2016 intro
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Radio 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.
Mercedes-AMG teases GT interior, announces fall 2014 debut
Tue, 15 Apr 2014Mercedes-Benz opted to tease the assembled media at its post-New York Auto Show party, showing off a pair of images of the exquisitely crafted interior of the highly anticipated successor of the SLS AMG - the V8-powered Mercedes-AMG GT.
Slated for a debut in the fall at either Paris or Los Angeles (we're betting Paris), you'll note straight away that there's something wrong with this car's name. Where's the "Benz?" Well, it's been ditched to, as Mercedes says, "make the dream of the authentic Mercedes-AMG sports car come true." Sorry Karl.
"The new Mercedes-AMG GT proves that we will be positioning AMG as a dynamic sports car brand even more strongly and aggressively than before," said Tobias Moers, CEO of Mercedes-AMG.
Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition
Wed, 26 Dec 2012Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
