!!!!! One Owner Low Mileage California 1993 500 Sel !!!!! on 2040-cars

Year:1993 Mileage:79869
Location:

Carlsbad, California, United States

Carlsbad, California, United States

Overview:
You are bidding on an impeccable example of a 1993 500 SEL, the last of the "Overengineered" S class. Only 79K original miles! One owner, religiously maintained and always garaged. There are a lot of W140's out there, but I defy you to find one as clean and unmolested as this one is. No leaks and no warning lights on the dash are the first signs that this vehicle has been taken care of. Vehicle is located in Carlsbad, Ca. I have posted copy of carfax to illustrate extensive maintenance history. California buyer will receive a current smog certificate, and a copy of carfax report. Good Luck.

Engine:
Engine starts easily. Settles into a nice 700 rpm idle. No smoke on start up. Pulls like a locomotive all the way to redline with no hesitation, no missing or knocking.

Transmission:
Transmission upshifts and downshifts seamlessly with no hard shifts or slipping whatsoever. The classic MBZ transmission test of shifting from Park to Reverse to Park again reveals a slight nudge upon engagement. No clunk...no hesitation, just a smooth transition as it was designed.

Paint/Interior:
Chimney Brown Poly Metallic is what Mercedes called this color back then. Paint is original. No signs of repair, body filler or removed panels anywhere. All body panel VIN stickers are present. Nice original shine due to being garaged all of it's life. Interior shows to be perfect. Leather, wood, dash, console, headliner, carpets are all in perfect condition with no tears, cracks or sun rot. Small golf ball size wear pattern on driver seat, but has not perforated or cracked the leather. Floor mats show obvious wear as they are original. I have included a "before" photo of paint damage on driver side rear bumper. Bumper has since been repainted and looks like new.

Brakes/Tires:
Brakes are at 70% life left. Vehicle stops straight and true with no rotor vibration. Tires are Michelin MX4's all around and have about 75% tread life left. They are wearing evenly and show no balance issues through the steering wheel.
Wheels are original OEM alloys and are in perfect condition with no road rash anywhere.

Maybach could become Mercedes-Benz sub-brand

Wed, 22 Jun 2011

When you're arriving in a twin-turbocharged, twelve-cylinder Maybach limo, there's no reason you should ever have to be late. Except, maybe, to make a fashionable entrance. But up at the corporate level, the entire Maybach brand is being slowed down as critical decisions about its future are being undertaken.
Last week, we reported that a decision on what path Maybach would take going forward would be due at the start of next month, but the latest reports indicate that the timeframe has been extended as further options are being considered.
The previous options under consideration were twofold: either relaunch the brand with production outsourced to Aston Martin - which suddenly finds itself with excess production capacity - or shut it down completely. And those are still two very real options. Word has it that Aston has put together four concept cars for the Daimler brass to consider, all based on the next-generation S-Class platform (and thankfully not the old one).

Chris Harris and David Coulthard wring out a Mercedes Fintail at the N"urburgring

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

If there's one thing we've learned from the latest video from Drive, it's that the combination of Chris Harris and David Coulthard will produce some very quotable moments. Take this exchange, for example.
DC: "We are by some way the slowest."
CH: "But we're in a class of three cars, apparently."

Mercedes CLA45 AMG Racing is ready for a spot on the grid

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

Mercedes-Benz trotted out its CLA45 AMG-based racer at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. We first showed you the sedan in the deluge of news and reveals that precedes most good auto shows, and were blown away by the car, formally known as the CLA45 AMG Racing Series.
We were strolling by the Mercedes stand, and figured we'd pop in and take a look at the new racer and its carbon-fiber body panels, gutted interior, and race-sourced aero parts. It's a looker, both as a road car and a track weapon. It's not clear what series the CLA45 AMG will qualify for, although it does seem like a shoe-in for the World Touring Car Championship. Let us know what you think of the CLA racer down in the comments. In the meantime, we've got a full gallery of live images up top, along with the stock images that were posted last week on the Mercedes-Benz Facebook page.
