Here is your chance to own one of Mercedes-Benz’s best and most expensive production cars at an impossibly low starting bid and no reserve. This is the very best car I've ever owned; I would drive it coast to coast and back again - now - today. Well, then ... why am I selling it? I am 78 years old on a fixed income. I have too many vehicles. Medical bills are eating me alive. Need I say more? In 2008 I drove a 1986 Porsche 911 from Maine to Georgia to attend a high school reunion. Just before I departed from Georgia I blew an air box. A week later and a thousand dollars poorer it looked like I was going to be throwing hundred dollar bills at the car for at least another week. It was then that I decided to swap even the Porsche for the Mercedes 560 SEC. By the time I got back to Maine I was in love with the Mercedes. My total virtual investment in the SEC 560 at that time was $11,000.00. The car has been a dependable runner and I have taken it on many long distance trips. This vehicle has a strong engine that uses no oil. The odometer ceased to work on August 5, 2011 at 134,622 miles. I would rate the condition of this car as "good." It has dependably taken me on many trips from Maine to Georgia. Two years ago I towed a utility trailer from Maine to Western Vermont and returned with a sidecar motorcycle. The vehicle runs and drives great. It has been well maintained and has had all necessary work done to obtain a yearly Maine inspection sticker, which expires on 1 January 2014. There is a half-dollar size circle of bare aluminum on the hood and trunk lid of the car. The spots look like hail damage but there is no denting. There is a minor rust spot at the rear of the left side wheel arches and some chrome flaking on the front bumper. The sun roof needs some parts to be installed, which could possibly be in the trunk. I have seldom owned a vehicle without a trailer hitch. I purchased and installed the only receiver hitch available for this model car. I don’t remember the price but it was a doozie. Recently the ABS light on the dashboard occasionally comes on. My mechanic says that a front sensor needs to be adjusted or replaced; aside from this the brakes work perfectly. Last month a latch spring in the left side door broke. Consequently, the latch has to be reset (a simple operation) if the door is opened from the outside. The gray leather interior is "fair." The driver’s seat shows wear from 27 years of regular use. The upholstery under the rear window needs to be re-sewn or replaced. The rear window has some haze along the sides. There may or may not be some additional minor items that could be fixed but do not affect the operation of the vehicle. The car is sold "AS-IS." I am a private seller. I have done my best to describe this item carefully and accurately, The pictures depict this item exactly as it is. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. Thanks for looking!

Ford and Mercedes join Renault in French emissions investigation
Thu, Jan 21 2016The French government is investigating certain models from Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and Renault because they allegedly produce more nitrogen oxide than the country's pollution rules allow, according to Automotive News, citing a French newspaper. After VW's emissions scandal, French regulators began checking more vehicles for evidence of defeat devices and excessive real-world pollution. According to Automotive News, the Mercedes S350 allegedly showed inconsistent results across these tests, and a Ford C-Max had NOx levels five times over the limit. The Renault Captur crossover, Espace, and an unnamed utility vehicle also had results that were too high. The French testing for this investigation includes an on-road emissions check that's not part of the EU's normal evaluations, which some automakers claim is unfair. "Unofficial on-road testing has varying conditions and can produce significantly different results," a Ford of Europe spokesman told Automotive News. Renault representatives met with French officials on January 18 to explain the situation. The company later submitted a plan to recall 15,800 examples of the diesel Captur, and said it would offer a voluntary software upgrade for about 700,000 other vehicles, according to Automotive News. Representatives from Ford and Mercedes will meet with the government soon, too. Renault's stock price plunged last week after investors heard that French regulators searched three of the automaker's sites as part of the emissions investigation. The stockholders feared an environmental scandal like the one currently embroiling Volkswagen. There's one major difference – as of now, there's no evidence Renault equipped any of the polluting models with defeat devices. Related Video:
Online Find of the Day: Lexus-engined Mercedes pickup is a vintage hybrid
Tue, 16 Sep 2014You have to love someone who gets incredibly committed to a very weird idea. What you see for sale here is a right-hand drive 1971 Mercedes-Benz 220D in South Africa, but this old Mercedes is now converted into a pickup, complete with bed cover, and there's big secret under the hood, too.
The pickup conversion appears well done based on seller Sedgefield Classic Cars' photos. Even the tonneau cover fits well. You could almost believe that this Mercedes lived its life as a Chevrolet El Camino-like pickup from the very beginning.
However, the rear-quarters conversion might not be the weirdest thing about this Mercedes. The original diesel is gone from the engine bay in favor of a Lexus V8. It seems really odd to pop the hood and find a Japanese mill in this German car, but the photos make it look like a fairly well performed swap. So, bravo to the crazy thinking. According to the seller speaking to Autoblog by email, "as far as we can establish, this was done a few years ago, with all Lexus components."
Race Recap: 2013 Japanese Grand Prix flips several scripts [spoilers]
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Japan's Suzuka circuit is a great track that all the drivers love, but it doesn't usually provide the most thrilling, head-to-head racing. Where it does excel, however, is with surprises and "What just happened there?!" moments, and this year it was no different.
It started with Mark Webber in his Infiniti Red Bull Racing out-qualifying his teammate Sebastian Vettel for the first time this year. They were followed closely by Lewis Hamilton in the first Mercedes-AMG Petronas, the still-solid Romain Grosjean again outdoing teammate Kimi Räikkönen, Felipe Massa racing for another seat in Formula One and putting his Ferrari in fifth, then Nico Rosberg in the second Mercedes, Nico Hülkenberg in the first Sauber, Fernando Alonso in the second Ferrari, and Räikkönen continuing to do himself no favors by qualifying tenth.
For the second year in a row, the lights going out was the cue to start the first corner action...
