Here you go Mercedes lovers, a 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC. This SEC is in great condition for a 28 year old car. It's currently a running, driving, registered car which just passed the VA State Inspection last month. The VA State Inspection is good until July 2014. All windows work as they should, including the sun roof. All signals, horn, work as well. The AC blows, but isn't cool, so assume it may need charging. All gauges in the dash appear to work correctly, with the exception of the clock. All seats are in great shape, with no tears or rips. Carpet cleans up, but could use a good shampooing. Headliner is also in place, but needs cleaning. The windows have a dated tint applied, which is showing it's age, and would recommend just removing it. The radio appears to work, and the antenna goes up and down as it should, but can't figure it out why I'm not getting any sound. Have all the original Kenwood manuals as well as the original Mercedes-Benz owners manual to review. Could be me, as I don't even use my radio! :) Also has a 6 CD changer in the trunk. It has a full size spare with an original Mercedes wheel in the trunk. All tires are good, and the custom wheels were painted to match the paint. They really look nice. The car appears to have had one repaint, which matches the original color. I've taken pictures of the paint chip in the upper passenger fender, and some minor fiberglass cracking in the rear passenger bumper. The lower front spoiler has had a minor fiberglass repair as well, because these things get beat up. The big V8 engine starts right up and motors down the road. Does sound like it has a small exhaust leak, that goes away when the exhaust gets warm, easy fix. Transmission shifts as it should, and all brakes slow this big car down. I've drove it, and it scutes down the road. Highway driving is a blast. Of course with any car of this vintage, a few weekends of minor TLC would make this thing perfect. Don't pass up a chance to own a very expensive car in its time. Good Luck!
*Please note; the original VIN for this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC is WDB1260441A135861. It is the VIN on the driver's door jamb tag and engine compartment tag. For some reason when listing, ebay cold not recognize this VIN, so entered one for another MB 560 SEC I'm listing. A neighbor who is a MB fanatic, states the reason could be this is a European model, but not 100% sure. I'm sure someone out there knows. Again, VIN for this 85 MB is WDB1260441A135861, as noted on both VIN tags. Sorry for any confusion. Good Luck!

2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4Matic [w/video]
Wed, 20 Feb 2013Maybe you saw our recent blog snippet on a bunch of US journos getting pulled over in the middle of nowhere in Catalunya, Spain for driving a bunch of new 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG models. By all accounts, they weren't speeding - which makes me softly guffaw. I was there in that group, yet I had taken the more direct route into the mountains from Barcelona so that I could... well, so that I could go faster. No one hassled me and I had the Autovia all to myself. And it was the goodniks - the team players - who got nabbed because Spain had decided to suddenly enforce the never enforced "must carry an international driver's license" clause of the highway code.
The departing E63 AMG with 518 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque from its M157 5.5-liter biturbo V8 hasn't exactly been poorly received. It isn't as crisp as, nor as pleasantly evil as its C63 AMG kid brother, but we generally accept that the heavier and larger car will always feel, well, heavier and larger.
As part of the 2014 E-Class mid-cycle redesign, Affalterbach decided to give its E63 AMG more power and torque for the occasion. The base car now gives off 550 hp and 531 lb-ft, while the hotter S version I tested (formerly the AMG Performance Pack) produces 577 hp and 590 lb-ft. The other big novelty is that E63 sedans will be available with both rear- and all-wheel drive, while all US-spec E63 wagons will be 4Matic equipped.
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.
Brabus to storm Geneva with 800-hp version of Mercedes SL65 AMG
Wed, 27 Feb 2013At no point during our recent drive of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG did we ever think, "You know, this thing sure is slow." After all, Merc's range-topping SL comes fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 capable of sending 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. But just in case you're still all "meh" about what the SL65 throws down, Brabus will gladly come to your rescue with this, the 800 Roadster.
As its name suggests, the 800 Roadster ups the V12's power figures to 800 horsepower and - wait for it - 1,047 pound-feet of torque. Don't get too excited, though - that torque number has been electronically limited to a measly 811 lb-ft since, you know, the transmission would probably explode if you tried to put the full force through it. Nevertheless, these represent increases of 79 hp and 73 lb-ft over the standard SL65, and that means the 800 Roadster can shoot to 62 miles per hour in just 3.7 seconds - two-tenths of a second quicker than the Merc its based on. More impressively, hitting 124 mph takes just under 10 seconds, and the droptop will finally top out at an electronically limited - limited! - 217 mph. Holy smokes.
To manage all of that speed, Brabus has engineered a special carbon fiber aero kit that reduces lift, and a unique control module for the SL65's active body control suspension lowers the ride height by one full inch. The 800 Roadster rides on new 20-inch wheels, and a unique limited-slip rear differential was added, featuring a 40 percent locking rate that further enhances performance when you're attempting to control the beast at its limits. Interior upgrades include new leather and alcantara surfaces throughout the cabin, including a leather-clad trunk.
