Beautiful Mercedes Benz 560sel on 2040-cars
Pacifica, California, United States
|
My wife and I just bought our first house, and we no longer have the garage space for it. (And this car deserves to be stored inside, as it always has been). If you aren't familiar with these cars, the 560 SEL is the long wheelbase version of the Mercedes W126 platform, and offers the biggest engine available at the time with the most interior space. This is the car that you would see in the movies driven by Arab Oil Sheiks and foreign diplomats, with the flags on the front bumper. (No, I don't have flags for it, but I've been tempted). The car is powered by a 5.0 Liter V8 with fuel injection, and it has abundant power to move very quickly, even for a heavy car. There is no comparison between this powertrain and the old Mercedes Benz diesels, which achieve 0-60 "Eventually." If you would like to do more research about the Mercedes W126 platform, check out the Wikipedia page for Mercedes W126. (eBay would not allow me to include the link). This car is in beautiful shape, and is one of the most desirable color combinations you can find. The exterior is "Black Pearl Metallic," which changes colors in the light from black, to dark grey, to deep brown. The interior is finished in a light brown "Palomino" leather. I purchased this from an older Japanese gentleman in San Francisco in 2012. He inherited the car from his father, who received it as a gift from a wealthy friend in Southern California. This car is absolutely beautiful inside and out, and I receive compliments on it frequently. I currently only drive the car occasionally on the weekends when the weather is nice, however I would have no hesitation to get in this car and drive it across the country, or use it as a daily commuter. I have lots of documentation for the car, including the original brochure from the dealership where it was ordered. I have the CarFax report from when I purchased the car in 2012. If you would like a newer report, feel free to run a VIN history report. This Mercedes has a number of unique features, many of which it pioneered when the car was released in 1987. Among them, are: -Power reclining rear seats -Automated Climate Control -Heated front and rear seats -Hill-hold, prevents the car from rolling back without needing to hold your foot on the brake. -Two different horn tones (City and Country) -Digital external temperature display Cosmetically, the car is in very good shape. The biggest blemish is that the chrome on the rear bumper is peeling. There are a few door nicks here and there, but they are minor. Mechanically, the only potential issue I'm aware of is that the steering wheel sometimes vibrates when on the freeway, which I believe means that it will probably need new tie rods at some point. I have had all maintenance performed by "Junipero Serra Auto" in Daly City, (A Mercedes Benz and Porsche specialty shop). The car is virtually stock, with the exception of lightly tinted windows, and an Alpine stereo with iPod connectivity. (Both were done by the previous owner). The only addition I made was to replace the stock floor mats with new plush mats, that are very high quality. The car still has the original California "Sunset" license plates, which you can no longer obtain. I am a car enthusiast, (Much to my wife's dismay), and I take pride in keeping my cars well maintained and looking beautiful. Please ask any questions, or come see the car in person if you are interested. The car is located in Pacifica, California. |

Mercedes-Benz intros long-wheelbase E-Class for China
Thu, 25 Apr 2013Long-wheelbase sedans are a pretty hot commodity in China, and to keep up with the competition, Mercedes-Benz has introduced an extended version of the 2014 E-Class sedan at the Shanghai Motor Show. Audi, BMW, Volvo and even Cadillac offer extended versions of sedans specific to the Chinese market, and now the E-Class L, shown off in E400L guise, will give luxury sedan buyers in China yet another option.
Compared to the standard 2014 E-Class sedan, the new China-spec E-Class L has been stretched by 5.5 inches - all of which goes to the rear-seat passengers. According to an article on China View from earlier in the year, the market for chauffeur-driven cars is growing in the Asian nation, so automakers need long-wheelbase models like the E-Class L in order to fully compete. As for what powers this stretched E-Class, it's available in three models: the diesel E260L, the V6-powered E300L and the E400 Hybrid.
The redesigned E-Class and the all-new A-Class are just the first of 20 new Mercedes-Benz products that will be introduced into the Chinese auto market by 2015. Scroll down for the full press release on long-wheelbase E.
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.
X1, 3 Series power BMW back into global luxury autos sales lead
Thu, 14 Mar 2013BMW managed to eke ahead of Audi for the global luxury sales crown in February. According to Bloomberg, BMW saw deliveries swell by 7 percent in February, besting the 3.2 percent jump enjoyed by Audi and giving BMW a 407-unit delivery lead over its rival last month. Mercedes-Benz, meanwhile, continued to falter, with the brand selling some 37,229 fewer machines than BMW, whose factories are running at full capacity to keep up with demand. Models like the X1 (shown above) enjoyed a sales increase of 40 percent in February while the company's bread-and-butter 3 Series jumped by 26 percent.
Mercedes-Benz hopes to stem its continued market share loss with the addition of the entry-level CLA sedan to its portfolio in April. The company is set to roll out an updated version of its cash-cow E-Class at the same time, and a new-generation S-Class will follow along shortly thereafter. Meanwhile, the company is increasing production to meet demand for its A and B-Class models.
