Up for auction is my 1988 Mercedes Benz 560 SEC coupe with 101046 miles ( the milage may be a bit higher by end of auction due to test drives and my personal usage). I purchased this car last summer from the 2nd owner as a driver / minor restoration project. I've installed a headliner, new battery, replaced both stereo amps, resealed the rear window, had the air conditioner serviced and had the fuel and air filters replaced. In November someone backed into the front of the car while parked causing the damage to the hood, grill, and a minor bend in the front radiator support (which I've straightened for the most part) { please see pictures}. Being I have two other projects and a limited budget I've decided to part with the Benz.

The engine runs good with plenty of power. Steering feels good, the car feels solid going straight and in turns. The transmission shifts nicely thru all gears and downshifts on demand. All electronics are working properly with the exception of the fuel gauge, which only reads from 1/2 tank down to empty ( the most important half in my opinion ) and the cruise control does not function at all. The sunroof is fully functional. Tires are good. The interior is in very good condition for it's age. The only interior issues are the seams on the rear seat backs opened and need to be restitched and a very small crack in the dash pad by the left speaker grill {please see pictures}.

Ok now the issues .... The engine idles high, around 1500 RPM, ( I've been told it may need an idle control motor ? ). The engine has a minor oil leak. ( after sitting a couple days I see a small spot on the ground ). The air conditioner isn't working again due to the accident ( it will need either a condenser, line that hooks to the condenser or both ). The body is very nice except for the following.... obviously it needs either repair or replacement of the hood and grill. The clear coat has peeled away on the trunk {please see pictures}. The roof has a couple spots where the clear looks a little thin. There is a single ding on the sunroof. There is 1 small spot on the drivers quarter panel where the paint is bubbled {please see pictures}.

I've tried to give as accurate a description as possible, but nothing beats your own eyes, I encourage you to come inspect test drive, and have a mechanic inspect and check the car out. Ask all your questions before you bid. This vehicle is being sold "as is where is" and there are no warrantees expressed or implied. You will be responsible for shipping or pick up. The vehicle is located in Bronx New York.

Boston bombers were tracked using Mercedes mbrace [w/video]

Sun, 28 Apr 2013

We now know Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the two brothers said to be behind the Boston Marathon bombings, planned to head for New York City to detonate more improvised explosive devices. As it turns out, that plan was foiled by the quick thinking of one Mercedes-Benz owner, diligent police work and the Mercedes-Benz mbrace system. When the brothers carjacked a 26-year-old Chinese entrepreneur identified only as "Danny," they didn't realize his Mercedes-Benz M-Class was equipped with the mbrace system, which can call for help in the event of an accident or track the vehicle in the event of a theft.
According to reports, the Tsarnaev brothers held Danny hostage for nearly 90 minutes while they drove around Boston forming a plan until they had to stop for fuel. When one of the brothers went inside to pay, the other put his gun down for a moment. Danny took the opportunity to unlatch his seat belt, open the door and run to another nearby gas station, where he told the owner to call the police.
When police arrived, they used the mbrace system to track the SUV after receiving Danny's permission, and it wasn't long before a shootout between police and the brothers ensued. When it was over, the eldest brother lay dead in the street. For more on the story, view the video report available below.

Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG is Affalterbach's first big leap into the little pond

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

The recent history of AMG is turning out amped-up versions of Mercedes-Benz offerings that would hardly ever be mistaken for their sedate counterparts. Sure, you'd need to pay attention to pick a G-Class from the G63 AMG, but dual side-pipes are a quick giveaway. The Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG is not only a new era in Affalterbach's attention on smaller cars, it is probably also the most subtle transformation we can think of in the line-up.
Low and chunky enough in standard guise to make a sporting impression, the aesthetic makeover is confined to black trim around the lower rim of the hatch, black wheels with red brake calipers and a single, rectangular exhaust tip on either side of the diffuser. It's easier to make a positive ID inside, where the flat-bottomed steering wheel, red seatbelts and red-rimmed details say, "You know what I am..."
If the car is running, though, it won't take but a second. The 2.0-liter turbo spitting 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet will grumble through a sport exhaust at idle, and bellow through the same on it's way to a 0-60 time of less than 4.5 seconds. And if you need something that looks a little harder - and you want those quad pipes - then the A45 AMG Edition 1 is the treasure you seek. There's a press release below for all the info you'll need until the hot hatch goes on sale in Germany later this year, and photos for the rest of us while we wait to find out if we'll get a chance to buy it.
