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

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.

Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept gets mobbed in China

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

If the reception it received at the Shanghai Motor Show is any judge of marketplace acceptance, Mercedes-Benz has a hit on its hands in the form of the GLA Concept. And we can understand why - we're quickly becoming fans of Mercedes' recent styling language, as defined by new models like the CLA and this GLA Concept.
The big news on the exterior front are the headlamp clusters, which have frickin' laser beams attached to their foreheads embedded inside that are capable of projecting videos and images on a screen. Plus, a pair of video cameras are mounted on the roof that can be used to capture driving excitement or removed and taken with you. How cool is that? We just hope they have a substantial locking mechanism to prevent would-be thievery...
If the exterior is mostly ready for production, with a few of the more outlandish elements moved to the trash bin - like, for instance, laser-beam headlamps and removable action cams - the interior is a true custom job that screams concept loud and clear. There are all kinds of jewel-like finishes inside, along with transparent surfaces showing what looks like metal latticework underneath and some awfully thick looking leather with massive exterior stitching done by hand similar to what you'd find on a baseball glove.

Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

A little over two months ago came reports that Daimler and Aston Martin were in talks, again, about "supply and technical-cooperation agreements." The next step has been taken with Aston Martin announcing that it has signed a Letter of Intent that looks "towards a technical partnership" with Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and the two companies aiming to have definitive agreements done by year's end.
While it will get to use certain electric and electronic components from AMG, the true golden egg for the maker of the Vanquish will be the ability to develop a new line of "bespoke V8 powertrains" that will be fitted to "a new generation of models." In return for opening up the larder, Daimler will get a non-voting stake of up to five percent of Aston Martin.
Nothing else is being said about the tie-up for the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more details.

2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup shows its freshened face

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Mercedes-Benz showed us its redesigned 2014 E-Class more than a month ago, but the Detroit Auto Show finally gave us a chance to see the full family of mid-size luxury cars and wagons in the flesh. Dieter Zetsche introduced the cars, including sedan, coupe, convertible and station wagon, on stage showing the stylish new design direction.
The wagon and sedan versions (shown as the E400 Hybrid above) will go on sale this spring, while the coupe and cabriolet will hit showrooms over the summer. Check our new gallery of live shots for the entire 2014 E-Class lineup, as well as the previously released press release below.
