UTTERLY AMAZING AND ELEGANT1988 MERCEDES BENZ 420 SEL
W126 S-Class
with stamped maintenance records. Only 2 owners since new!!!!!
If you are looking at this ad you are probably already familiar with the magnificent s-class Mercedes of the late 80's and early 90's. No one needs to tell you that they were and are world class motorcars.
This Mercedes has been meticulously owned and maintained by only two owners since new!!! The original owners bought the car new and kept it into their 80's. After the wife died the husband kept the car for several years before offering this stunning and mint motor car for sale. The current owner bought the car to add to his collection and has continued to meticulously care for the car. This car is absolutely amazing in it's condition. The biggest flaw on the car's finish is pointed out in one of the photographs.....a 1.5 inch scratch on the top of the left rear quarter that has been touched up years ago with the factory touch up paint. And just to clarify...look at the picture carefully. There looks like another scratch in the paint but that is in fact merely the reflection from the concrete driveway joint in the paint!!! The paint is near flawless with no fading or cracking of clear coat. Literally the only visible place is the photo described.
The interior is stunning with all carpets in perfect condition. As you can see the carpets are covered with color matching shag mats so as not to stain or soil the Mercedes floor mats.
The only interior flaw is the slight discoloration of the trim that holds the nylon netting on the back of the seats. This could easily be resprayed by a professional interior re-finisher.
This beautiful motorcar runs and drives as well as it looks. The A/C is working and blows cold. Car is road worthy.
The car has been in Georgia the vast majority of it's life. The original owners plate shows Sunnydale, Ca and then owners moved to Atlanta, Georgia where the car remains to this day.
This car is the real deal with no surprises.
Simply put it's just amazing!
The car is sold in "as is/were is" condition and their are no warranties expressed or implied. This is a legally binding auction and please do not bid on this car unless you are able and willing to purchase it at auctions close. New Ebayers or Ebayers with negative feedback please do not bid on the motorcar without first contacting seller.
The reason seller is offering this car for sale is that his daughter is getting married in the fall and he is letting go of a few of his collector cars to pay for a "few" folks dinner after the wedding. Seller reserves the right to end auction early prior to the reserve being met.
There are no test drives after the auction has ended. Inspections are welcome prior to auctions end for qualified buyers. This car is not for the faint of heart or wallet. It's the real deal and there are very few S-Class Cars from this period remaining in this outstanding condition with such few miles. This pictures are a fair representation of the car. Photographs were taking after simply using a California duster to remove garage dust. The car has not been washed in six months.
The Mercedes-Benz W126 is a series of flagship vehicles manufactured by German automotive marque Mercedes-Benz. Premiering in September 1979 as the successor to the earlier W116 line, the W126 was the second generation of the Mercedes-Benz flagship to officially bear the S-Class name referring to Sonderklasse or "special class." The W126 was initially offered in straight-6, V8, and turbo diesel sedan models. In September 1981, 2-door coup'e versions of the W126 were introduced. Compared to its predecessor, the W126 was more aerodynamic, fuel efficient, capacious, and powerful. The W126 S-Class debuted a new Mercedes-Benz design style which was subsequently used on other vehicles in the company's lineup. The W126 line also introduced many Mercedes-Benz safety innovations, including the first airbag supplemental restraint systems, seatbelt pretensioners, and traction control.
A new mercedes of this caliber is around $100,000. This car at the time listed for high $50's to mid $60's and with inflation pushes $100K. A guest at seller's home recently asked "is that a new Mercedes?" Drive this car for a few years and make it a collector. Or add it to your collection today!!
The car is located in McDonough, Georgia which is a suburb of Atlanta and is located approximately 25 miles from Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport. Fly in and drive it home!!!
Vehicle must be paid for in full and funds cleared before car will be released from seller. Car is to be paid for in full within 7 days of auction close. Please do not bid if you aren't prepared and able to complete sale.

BMW expects China to pass US as its top market in 2013
Thu, 11 Jul 2013When you combine two billion citizens, 100 cities with more than a million inhabitants and an economy that's as unrestrained as Jim Cramer on an Adderall binge, China's explosive auto industry growth shouldn't be a huge surprise. Audi already lists the communist country as its largest market, while Mercedes-Benz is expecting it to be there in the next few years. Now, according to a report from Automotive News, BMW is expecting the People's Republic to overtake the United States in sales by the end of 2013.
We already discovered the extent that BMW is going to in establishing a dedicated Chinese stronghold, when we explored BMW's Shanghai-based DesignWorks studio ahead of April's Shanghai Motor Show. And while we argued that DesignWorks Shanghai hasn't really borne fruit, it isn't due to a lack of sales.
BMW China has seen a 16-percent jump in year-over-year sales, lead by a 28-percent gain in 5 Series sales. Part of BMW's growth strategy comes from an ever-expanding dealership network. Remember those 100 cities we mentioned with over one million people? According to Karsten Engel, CEO of BMW's Chinese operations, those 100-million-plus city dwellers don't have access to a premium dealership.
2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec gets 33 mpg, priced from $38,950*
Tue, 30 Apr 2013It's been more than a year since we first saw the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK250 Bluetec unveiled at the 2012 New York Auto Show, but it looks like the compact diesel crossover is finally starting to roll into dealerships. Those wanting to buy a diesel GLK will only have to pony up an extra $1,500 over a base, gas-powered GLK350, as the GLK250's starting price is listed at $38,590 (*not including $905 destination charge).
The turbocharged 2.1-liter four-cylinder diesel produces 200 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and Mercedes-Benz has also provided some fuel economy numbers for this model, with claimed EPA estimates of 24 miles per gallon city and 33 mpg highway. There is no listing for the GLK250 on the EPA's website yet, but the figures represent significant increase over the GLK350's lackluster 19 mpg city and 25 mpg highway figures, which are for the rear-wheel drive model. The GLK250 comes standard with the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system - a $2,000 option on GLK350 - meaning that if you want an all-wheel-drive version of the 2013 GLK, it's actually cheaper to opt for the diesel model. Head over to the Mercedes-Benz site for the full 2013 GLK-Class configurator.
Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG coming to the New York Auto Show
Tue, 05 Mar 2013Mercedes-Benz showed off the CLA45 AMG at a private event on the eve of the Geneva Motor Show, but was determined not to let it be photographed. We can talk about it, though - after all, a teaser image was released to promote the new Sony game Drive Club. The CLA45 AMG will use the same powertrain as the A45 AMG, which means a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. And that means a small four-door coupe sedan with the highest horsepower-per-liter in the segment. It will shift through the same seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, should also run out of speed at 155 miles per hour and have that three-stage stability control system.
As with its hatch sibling, the CLA is already so aggressive on the outside - and the parent company so anxious not to demolish the sedan's 0.22 coefficient of drag - that not much has been done to the cranked-up CLA. Even the rather thin tires on the standard only get a little less thin on the hotter variant. Inside will be the telltale AMG signs, with lots of red detailing and that flat-bottomed wheel among the giveaways. We'll know more later this month when the wraps come off at the New York International Auto Show.
