1991 Mercedes Benz 560SEL with only 60,000 miles. The car is finished in Black Pearl Metallic with Gray soft leather upholstery. It was purchased on 10/6/90 from Estate Motors, Golden's Bridge, NY. The car has had one owner and ownership will be transferred with the original title. It has been well cared for and very well preserved. It is in excellent condition and is an extremely rare find with such low mileage. This is the last year of the 560SEL, one of the most beautiful cars that Mercedes has ever made.
The exterior of the car is in very good condition. The paint is in great shape and holds a strong shine. There is no rust anywhere on the car. There are some scratches, dings, sap marks, etc, however, far less than you would expect on a car of this age; the most prominent of which is an indentation on the right side of the panel that holds the rear marker plate. All glass, plastic and trim pieces are in very good shape and have no damage. The chrome is in excellent condition. The wheels are also in very good shape.
The interior of the car is in excellent condition. The leather is in great shape and has no holes or tears in the upholstery. The original color and finish are bright as a result of having been garaged. The seats hold their original shape, spring and form. The headliner sits perfectly with no sign of sag. There are no cracks in the dash. The wood is in very good condition, holding a deep bright color and only showing a couple of hairline surface cracks near the shift bezel. A mobile phone had been installed, however, it has been removed and is in the trunk. The car has not been smoked in and has no strange odors. The carpets are free from any noticeable dirt or stains.
Mechanically, the car is in very good condition. The engine is fast and extremely powerful. The transmission shifts perfectly smooth. The steering is tight and there are no strange noises or rattles. There are no check engine, ABS, air bag etc. lights on. All interior functions are working with the exception of the locks and the rear passenger window. Power seats, heated seats (front and rear), reclining rear seat, sunroof, climate etc. are all working. Heat is hot and A/C is cold. The locks do work manually but have lost power operation. The left, rear window had trouble making it up the last time it was used and I have not used it since. Also, the antenna will not fully extend, it goes up 2/3 of the way. The owner's manual and other manuals are present. The tires have plenty of tread on them. Front brakes and wheel bearings are brand new. Lastly, if the car sits for a period of time, the rear feels somewhat bouncy for the first several miles. When it is used on a regular basis, it is not noticeable.
These cars have a legendary reputation for their comfort, engineering and build quality. This 560SEL is a very rare find being in very good condition, having extremely low miles and being the right color. Most examples of this model have not been properly maintained and abused. This car has been very well preserved and is in very impressive condition. I have tried to describe the car as thoroughly and accurately as possible. If you have any further questions, would like specific photos or would like to see the car, please let me know.

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.
Mercedes Sprinter updated to take on Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster
Mon, 29 Apr 2013By the end of this year, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter will be the second-oldest nameplate in its segment here in the States, but with hot new competition waiting in the wings, Mercedes-Benz is giving its hauler a freshened look and more equipment to stave off rivals. The Sprinter was a pioneer in bringing Euro-style delivery vans to North America, and it's inspired others to transplant their Continental offerings, with the all-new Ford Transit and Ram Promaster models launching shortly. It will also continue to do battle with lower-cost traditional competitors like the Chevrolet Express and Ford E-Series.
The big Sprinter will thus get a new look to go with more safety features and available technology. While the information released here technically covers the Euro-spec 2013 Sprinter (which goes on sale in September), the US market is expected to get the new Sprinter for the 2014 model year with many of the same features. Some of this new technology includes a Crosswind Assist feature as standard equipment and the availability of Collision Prevention Assist and Blind Spot Assist as optional safety measures - Mercedes-Benz says that all three are firsts for any van in the world. Also added to the updated Sprinter is a new 1.8-liter supercharged gasoline (or CNG) engine producing 156 horsepower, which will complement the line of diesel engines that carry over and help make the Sprinter the first cargo van to meet the upcoming Euro VI emissions standards. Additionally, a lower ride height is said to improve fuel economy and should improve handling while aiding ingress and egress for both people and cargo.
In terms of styling, the Sprinter's new face also looks more like the current line of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars. This includes a more upright grille along with changes to the hood, headlights and bumper that lend it a closer kinship to models like the CLS-Class and the updated E-Class. The Sprinter will offer both halogen and HID headlights, while the latter will get LED running lamps and offer Highbeam Assist. The images shown here only reveal the exterior from front angles, but it looks like few, if any, changes have been made to the rear of the van. Interior upgrades include a thicker steering wheel, a new shift lever and the latest in audio, navigation and entertainment systems. Scroll down for the official press release for the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
Brabus 800 Roadster is a power-mad aristocrat
Wed, 06 Mar 2013If we're being completely honest, we haven't exactly been in love with the aesthetics of the sixth-generation Mercedes-Benz SL-Class. It's mostly a front-end issue, with its glowering eagle-eye headlamps and upright, dinner-plate-sized Three-Pointed Star coming across to us as overwrought. That's particularly troublesome for a roadster whose history has of the most elegant designs of all time in its back catalog. Somehow, the new R231 generation's brash visuals seem more at home on this Brabus 800 Roadster to us.
That's probably because the high-dollar German tuner has turned up the wick on the SL's visuals even further, with carbon fiber bodywork, a more aggressive aero kit, matte hood scoop and complex two-finish wheels. It's all-the-way committed to its brashness, in other words - and justifiably so. Anything with 800 horsepower and 1,047 pound-feet of torque has earned the right to look however it wants, right?
Brabus started with the SL65 and its not-exactly-underpowered 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12, and went to town, fitting their own turbocharger and intercooler system, along with a less-restrictive exhaust system with driver-selectable sound levels and new engine electronics. The result is a 3.7-second 0-62 mph time, an electronically limited top whack of 217 mph... and one seriously compromised toupée.
