Aransas Pass, Texas, United States

MUST BE TOWED OR TRAILERED TO YOUR DESTINATION! DO NOT EXPECT TO DRIVE HOME! This car has been parked for approximately 14 months. Prior to that, it ran fine for the year or so that I drove it and I took it on several long (1000+ miles) trips and drove it extensively around town. It developed a tick and I parked it last fall. I got a newer M-B 300E at the same time that got better gas mileage, so I never looked into fixing it. I have started it a few times, but not driven it because the registration and inspection are expired and I live two blocks from the police station. Straight and complete down to the first aid kit in the rear shelf. Heated electric seats. Interior good but not perfect, please look at photos carefully. Good tires. CLEAR TEXAS TITLE. If you are reading this, you probably already know that the 560 SEL is a very, very nice car. It was rated the safest car of the year in 1989. The L is for Limousine, and it is extra long and the back seat reclines. All the seats are heated. There are ashtrays and cigarette lighters in the rear doors. The seats are leather and the wood trim is real. Since it has been parked for over a year I will not guarantee anything other than that it will start. Please look at pictures carefully and ask any questions before buying. I did a quick survey of the car as I took the photos for this listing, and these are the only defects I noticed. This is not and exhaustive list and you may find defects that I did not notice. Exterior: Very straight with no hail damage or noticeable dents. Original paint that needs to be repainted as clearcoat has failed. Two small (dime and quarter size) bullseye cracks in windshield. Small crack in bezel surrounding headlight on passenger side. Small hole (pencil size) and cracks in passenger marker light. Remaining light bezels and lenses appear good. Windshield wipers on headlights. Small trim piece missing on passenger side (see picture) Bumpers, grill, chrome trim all good. Good tires. Interior: Mostly intact, no cracks in dashboard. It appears someone tried to install a new radio: wood in the center console is loose and there is a rectangular hole in front of the shifter. Seats are gray leather. Cracks in both front seats (see pictures) No cracks in back seat. Carpet is intact and complete with floormats but stained. Missing passenger kickplate in front of door. The glue has failed on the vinyl on the door pillars. Missing driver's sun visor clip. One rear speaker case is cracked and broken on one corner. Two small cracks in the top of the driver's door panel. The back of the driver's seat is in the trunk and probably needs new mounting hardware. If someone had the time, space, and tools, this car could be parted out for much more than the purchase price. A quick search of eBay will reveal dozens of parts that can be sold for $50-$1000 each. It is my hope, however, that someone will fix this one and keep it on the road. Please ask any questions you have. This car is sold AS-IS and WHERE-IS, with NO warranty expressed or implied. Buyer is responsible for transporting the vehicle within 30 days of purchase. I will tow (prepaid) to you for $1.50 per mile from 78336. Please pay via PayPal invoice I will send at end of auction. |

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 working on new inline-six engines
Mon, 11 Nov 2013Mercedes-Benz will make a return to the inline-six-cylinder engine game, according to a report from the UK's AutoCar. It's not clear what's prompting the phasing out of the current array of V6s.
We'll see the first inline-six from Mercedes in next-generation E-Class, set to debut in 2016. Following that, it'll arrive as part of a mid-cycle refresh for the C-Class in 2017. What's particularly special about the new inline-six is its modular nature, which will allow Mercedes to eventually spinoff three- and four-cylinder options, with the three-pot arriving alongside the new inline-six.
In other news, AutoCar uncovered some details on the next C-Class AMG, which will ditch its excellent 6.2-liter, AMG V8 in favor of a 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8, although we've already told you about that. What we didn't know at the time, though, was that the 4.0-liter would be paired first with a new, seven-speed AMG Speedshift transmission and offer all-wheel drive. AC also reports that a nine-speed Speedshift is in the works.
Carlsson SLK 340 Judd is winged up for hill climb glory
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Carlsson has been expertly tuning Mercedes-Benz products for more than 20 years now, but we can't say as we remember the outfit turning out anything quite so racy as this SLK 340 Judd that it has brought along to the Geneva Motor Show this year.
This SLK is meant for competition, obviously, and Carlsson has already booked the car to race in several hill climb events in the E1 category. The purpose-built racer should have a fighting chance to do well in said races, with a shape vetted in wind tunnel testing for maximum downforce, the SLK uses a carbon-fiber bodyshell to help achieve a curb weight of just about 1,720 pounds.
The featherweight SLK's name comes from its 3.4-liter V8 engine, which churns out a wicked 610 horsepower to go with its 317 pound-feet of torque. A Hewland transmission with paddle shift operation manages all of the thrust.
