UTTERLY AMAZING AND ELEGANT1988 MERCEDES BENZ 420 SEL
W126 S-Class
with stamped maintenance records. Only 2 owners since new!!!!!
If you are looking at this ad you are probably already familiar with the magnificent s-class Mercedes of the late 80's and early 90's. No one needs to tell you that they were and are world class motorcars.
This Mercedes has been meticulously owned and maintained by only two owners since new!!! The original owners bought the car new and kept it into their 80's. After the wife died the husband kept the car for several years before offering this stunning and mint motor car for sale. The current owner bought the car to add to his collection and has continued to meticulously care for the car. This car is absolutely amazing in it's condition. The biggest flaw on the car's finish is pointed out in one of the photographs.....a 1.5 inch scratch on the top of the left rear quarter that has been touched up years ago with the factory touch up paint. And just to clarify...look at the picture carefully. There looks like another scratch in the paint but that is in fact merely the reflection from the concrete driveway joint in the paint!!! The paint is near flawless with no fading or cracking of clear coat. Literally the only visible place is the photo described.
The interior is stunning with all carpets in perfect condition. As you can see the carpets are covered with color matching shag mats so as not to stain or soil the Mercedes floor mats.
The only interior flaw is the slight discoloration of the trim that holds the nylon netting on the back of the seats. This could easily be resprayed by a professional interior re-finisher.
This beautiful motorcar runs and drives as well as it looks. The A/C is working and blows cold. Car is road worthy.
The car has been in Georgia the vast majority of it's life. The original owners plate shows Sunnydale, Ca and then owners moved to Atlanta, Georgia where the car remains to this day.
This car is the real deal with no surprises.
Simply put it's just amazing!
The car is sold in "as is/were is" condition and their are no warranties expressed or implied. This is a legally binding auction and please do not bid on this car unless you are able and willing to purchase it at auctions close. New Ebayers or Ebayers with negative feedback please do not bid on the motorcar without first contacting seller.
The reason seller is offering this car for sale is that his daughter is getting married in the fall and he is letting go of a few of his collector cars to pay for a "few" folks dinner after the wedding. Seller reserves the right to end auction early prior to the reserve being met.
There are no test drives after the auction has ended. Inspections are welcome prior to auctions end for qualified buyers. This car is not for the faint of heart or wallet. It's the real deal and there are very few S-Class Cars from this period remaining in this outstanding condition with such few miles. This pictures are a fair representation of the car. Photographs were taking after simply using a California duster to remove garage dust. The car has not been washed in six months.
The Mercedes-Benz W126 is a series of flagship vehicles manufactured by German automotive marque Mercedes-Benz. Premiering in September 1979 as the successor to the earlier W116 line, the W126 was the second generation of the Mercedes-Benz flagship to officially bear the S-Class name referring to Sonderklasse or "special class." The W126 was initially offered in straight-6, V8, and turbo diesel sedan models. In September 1981, 2-door coup'e versions of the W126 were introduced. Compared to its predecessor, the W126 was more aerodynamic, fuel efficient, capacious, and powerful. The W126 S-Class debuted a new Mercedes-Benz design style which was subsequently used on other vehicles in the company's lineup. The W126 line also introduced many Mercedes-Benz safety innovations, including the first airbag supplemental restraint systems, seatbelt pretensioners, and traction control.
A new mercedes of this caliber is around $100,000. This car at the time listed for high $50's to mid $60's and with inflation pushes $100K. A guest at seller's home recently asked "is that a new Mercedes?" Drive this car for a few years and make it a collector. Or add it to your collection today!!
The car is located in McDonough, Georgia which is a suburb of Atlanta and is located approximately 25 miles from Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport. Fly in and drive it home!!!
Vehicle must be paid for in full and funds cleared before car will be released from seller. Car is to be paid for in full within 7 days of auction close. Please do not bid if you aren't prepared and able to complete sale.

New details emerge on forthcoming Mercedes-Benz SLC
Sat, 02 Feb 2013Last we heard, the Mercedes-Benz SLC had been put on indefinite hold, but now Car Magazine is reporting that the Porsche 911-fighting "Baby SLS" coupe could be on sale by 2015. Riding on a modified SLS AMG chassis, the smaller and lighter SLC could be priced in the sub-$100,000 price bracket.
We'd already heard that the new car would feature conventional doors (instead of SLS-like gullwing doors), but this report focuses on some of the possible powertrains Mercedes-Benz is likely to use. At launch, the SLC could offer a pair of V8-powered models - a 485-horsepower SLC and a 585-hp SLC S - both being powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. About a year after launch, a new V6 model could emerge giving the SLC an estimated 333 horsepower and its lowest price point.
It also sounds like the car's name hasn't been completely finalized as some people within Mercedes are favoring a return of the SLR name.
Gullwing America turns SLS AMG Roadster into stunning 1955 300 SC redux
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Gullwing America specializes in what it calls "retro styling meets modern technology." It's next demonstration of that is the convertible above, a stylized recreation of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SC (inset) supported by the structure of a 2012 SLS AMG Roadster. Commissioned by a client in Eastern Europe, the resulting car is called the 300 SLC.
The hand-formed aluminum bodywork required just a few changes to the SLS AMG Roadster, namely reworking the headlights into a stacked arrangement of LEDs and relocating the pop-up spoiler behind the cabin. The retro grille and long, straight hood evoke the past, the custom exhaust, height-adjustable suspension, 21-inch wheels up front and 22-inch wheels in back, however, stray a little further from history. The 300 SLC will come with a hardtop and be one-of-a-kind, making it even rarer than its inspiration, of which 92 were made.
If you have any more questions, they can probably be answered in the high-res photo gallery above and press release below.
Mercedes dealers authorized to spend $2,500 on perks for S-Class customers
Mon, 02 Dec 2013If you drop $100,000 on a luxury sedan, it seems only reasonable to receive some preferential treatment at the dealership you purchased from. After all, that price isn't just for the car - you're paying for the brand and all the cachet that entails. For Mercedes-Benz, those benefits have apparently been lacking relative to the German brand's luxury competitors.
That's set to change, though, as Automotive News reports that the German brand is placing a much greater emphasis on keeping its customers happy and loyal with its MB Select program. Starting with the new S-Class and spreading to the CLA-Class (and eventually beyond), dealers are being given money - up to $2,500 in the case of the flagship sedan - just to improve the customer experience.
We agree, improving the "customer experience" is quite a vague term, so it's nice that Mercedes USA's CEO, Steve Cannon, offered up some examples to AN at the LA Auto Show. For example, a customer couldn't fit his sunglasses into the overhead compartment. "So we bought him a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses that fit because of their shape," Cannon said.
