1994 Mercedes-benz S420 Base Sedan 4-door 4.2l, California Car, Low Miles on 2040-cars
Castro Valley, California, United States
|
Selling my uncle's 1994 Mercedes Benz S420. It has been loved and cared for. The family has decided that he is getting too old to drive safely anymore. It has it's share of scraps, dings and scratches. It has low miles for a 1994 with a scant 82,877 original miles. Uncle bought it in 1997 with only 34,300 miles. Over the last 16 years of ownership, he barely put on 50,000 miles. The paint is nice and not clear coat-checked like most other cars of this vintage. The W140 body design is one the most elegant shape of Mercedes for years to come. It still looks modern compared with the cars of today. The interior is nice and clean. The bolsters are not worn, the rear seats look like no one has sat in them. The A/C blows cool but I would recharge it to blow even colder. The chrome wheels are nice and it still rides on Michelin tires. Now, you know that if after all these years, an owner still insist upon Michelin tires for his car that this particular car has been loved. The rear window does have a crack in it from kids playing baseball while it was parked out by his work years ago(see video and photos). It does not affect the drivability as this is purely a cosmetic concern. It does not leak. The dual-paned windows help insulate the driver from outside noise. It rides and drives smooth. The transmission shifts smooth too. I really thought I was driving a newer car the way this gem drives down the road. The lower rear bumper has a scrap(see video and photo). The lower cladding on the driver's side rear door has some scraps(see video and photos). You would be hard-pressed to find a clean W140 chassis for NO RESERVE. That's RIGHT, NO RESERVE. Final bid gets to take this fine gem home. Uncle said to sell it and it will go home to the winning bidder.
With all my auctions, a few requirements, First, NO PAYPAL, Second, any and all bidder's with less than 10 feedback and/or negative feedback need to contact me prior to bidding with their full name and contact phone number, no exceptions or your bid will be cancelled and your user id blocked from additional bidding, Third and most important, you are bidding to own, not look and make excuses.

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
Mercedes Concept GLA45 AMG is ready to run
Wed, 20 Nov 2013This is the Mercedes-Benz Concept GLA45 AMG, and what we mean by that is, "This is the Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG." Mercedes has just unveiled the liveried 'concept' at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, giving potential customers a very good look at the newest lunatic in the AMG asylum - a 355-horsepower, 332-pound-foot crossover that uses the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in the CLA45 AMG and Europe's A45 AMG.
Joined with a seven-speed, AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission and an AMG Performance 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, Mercedes promises a sub-five-second run to 60 miles per hour. That's not just quick for a crossover, that's quick full stop.
That sleek, lifted body has also been tweaked by the minds at AMG's Affalterbach facility. A new rear spoiler, side sills and front clip are the primary aerodynamic tweaks. Aesthetically, AMG has fitted the requisite "Turbo" badges, gloss-black accents (including exhaust tips and roof rails) and a set of 21-inch, AMG-spec alloy wheels to round out the overall package. Based on the spy shots we've seen, expect slightly toned down aerodynamics when the GLA45 AMG arrives in showrooms.
2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]
Fri, 15 Nov 2013The biggest misconception about the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series is that it's simply a higher-performing version of the SLS GT - a closer look, or better yet, a few hot laps on a high-speed racing circuit, reveals that is anything but the case.
Launched in the States in mid-2011, the standard SLS GT is a 583-horsepower, all-aluminum, gull-wing coupe with performance that positions it near the top of the exotic segment. While the AMG team at Mercedes-Benz could have left it alone, their experience with the SLS AMG GT3 race car said there was room for improvement, so they devised the SLS Black Series. The transformation from SLS GT to SLS Black Series is extensive, with no fewer than 17 different significant enhancements.
The engine mapping, crankshaft, connecting rods, valve-train, intake, exhaust and cooling are all modified and the engine's redline bumps up from 7,200 to 8,000 rpm, which pushes output of the hand-built 6.3-liter V8 to 622 horsepower. The power steering receives a new ratio, a coil-over AMG Adaptive Performance suspension is installed along with underbody braces, the track is widened, two-piece carbon-ceramic brakes replace iron rotors at each corner and a lightweight titanium exhaust is fitted beneath. The AMG Speedshift seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox is modified and an electronically controlled AMG rear differential lock ensures the power goes to the pavement. Last on the mechanical upgrades are new lightweight forged wheels (10x19 inches front and 12x20 inches rear) wrapped in special R-compound Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires.
