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.

Mercedes making aggressive plans for Chinese market
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Mercedes-Benz is preparing a major product offensive to counteract lagging sales in the Chinese market, aiming 20 new or updated models at the People's Republic in the next two years, according to a report by Reuters. The plan is part of MB's so-called 2020 Initiative, which will see the Stuttgart-based manufacturer dump 2 billion Euros ($2.67 billion) into its Chinese market vehicles in a bid to boost sales to 300,000 units by 2015.
Were it to succeed, China would become the largest market for the Silver Arrow, outpacing Germany and the United States. Leading the charge will be the redesigned E-Class, which is set to launch in China this week. That will quickly be followed by the S-Class, and eventually by the GLA-Class in 2014.
Mercedes has struggled in China, especially relative to its German competition, BMW and Audi. Where Mercedes saw a mere four-percent increase in 2012 sales to 206,150 units, Audi was up a staggering 32 percent, while BMW's numbers jumped 41 percent. While some voices, according to Reuters, accuse Munich and Ingolstadt of boosting their numbers through hefty incentives, the fact remains that Mercedes was just walloped by its competitors last year.
2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Coupe
Thu, 31 Jan 2013
Mercedes-Benz upgraded its SLS flagship Coupe and Roadster for the 2013 model year, and the changes are marked with them new "GT" nomenclature. Both SLS models arrive with a retuned naturally aspired 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque (the horses are up from 563, but the torque remains the same) mated to a revised seven-speed AMG Speedshift dual-clutch gearbox. Rounding out the mechanical upgrades is a redeveloped AMG two-mode adaptive suspension. Physically, the revised models are differentiated by their new "GT" badging, darkened headlight/taillight buckets, red brake calipers, unique wheel colors and high gloss finish on the front grille, exterior mirrors and hood/fender fins. Inside the cabin are new red seatbelts, Alcantara upholstery and contrasting red stitching.
As it is nearly impossible to experience the aluminum gullwing beast on public roads, Mercedes invited out to Southern California's Willow Springs to wring out the 2013 SLS GT Coupe on a racing circuit.
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.
