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. |

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
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.
UK workers strand car on island of asphalt to keep working
Wed, 06 Feb 2013Generally speaking, when you illegally park your car, you're likely to get ticketed and towed, but there is probably at least one motorist in Scotland who wishes that was the case. After workers had blocked off a portion of the parking lot for the Edinburgh Waverley railway station, the driver of this Mercedes-Benz S-Class reportedly moved some of the barriers to park in one of the empty spots.
Rather than having the vehicle towed, the work crew simply tore up the asphalt around the leaving just the one parking spot intact, and as you can see in the image above (posted to the Twitter account of Harold Norstad), the crew even built a small asphalt ramp so the car could get off its blacktop pedestal. Since this happened last week, there's no word as to whether the car was eventually moved or towed for the resurfacing work to continue.
Let this be a warning...
