1989 Mercedes Benz 560 Sec. Barn Find, Beautiful Car!! on 2040-cars
Dubuque, Iowa, United States
I am selling a 1989 Mercedes Benz 560 SEC. Awesome car, when I found it it had been stored in a garage for 6 years untouched. I brought it home, put a new fuel pump in, flushed the gas and oil, checked the entire car out thoroughly, and drove it. I have put about 3,000 miles on the car with no problems. I had intended to fully restore this car but am having a baby now and don't have the time or money to finish it so it is time to find it a new home. I haven't really done anything with the vehicle yet so it is basically in its unrestored condition and will need a good cleaning. The body looks great with no rust, I would say 9/10. Not perfect, a couple dings, but very good. Drivers side fog light will need replaced. The interior will need some work. The drivers seat has 2 large tears in it, but the heated seats both work so could be repaired. Also the seat belt extender on the passenger side is broken off, have the pieces to it but will probably need replaced. The roll top over the center console is broken up, pieces are in the center console. Headliner is good all the way to the back where it has started to separate, will need adhesive or replaced, but it is not too bad. All electronics, windows, and sunroof work fine and don't leak. Radio is original and only works on driver side, I suspect the fader control in the center consolde. Mechanically car runs great but has a couple issues. Idle is high when the car warms up, about 1200 rpm. I think this is due to the vacuum system needing to be gone through. Idle is a little rough sometimes but not always. Should have general tuneup plugs and wires replaced. Reverse engages right away when cold but takes longer to engage the longer the car is driven, all forward gears work just fine. Will need a rebuild soon, kit available for around $400.00 and not overly difficult job. Suspension a little noisy but not too bad.I am offering the car as a no reserve auction. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at any time and I encourage you to come check the car out before bidding.
Thanks! Matt |

Mercedes-Benz releases stunning first images of 2014 S-Class
Mon, 18 Mar 2013
The all-new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, designated W222, is one of the most highly anticipated debuts of its model year. Every generation of the flagship sedan has broken new ground in technology and innovation for the entire industry, and the German automaker appears determined to raise the bar much further with its latest arrival as it promises to deliver "the best automobile in the world." Mercedes-Benz has just released nearly two dozen interior images of the new sedan, showing off style in design, craftsmanship in execution and pioneering advancements in technology.
Unlike all previous generations - the first S-Class officially arrived in 1972 - the 2014 model completely discards a traditional instrument cluster and replaces it with two high-resolution color displays in 8:3 format with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches (the outgoing model's gauges were a mix of digital and analog). The left unit displays traditional analog gauges (digitally, of course) while the right unit is reserved for infotainment and comfort settings with the automaker's all-new mBrace2 - a cloud-based entertainment and information delivery system that is rolling out this year.
Next Mercedes S-Class stretching into this 600 Pullman limo
Fri, 15 Mar 2013To the concern of nobody in particular, Mercedes-Benz will not be re-upping its Maybach line of ultra-luxury limousines. No, instead the German automaker will be stretching its already roomy S-Class, to make this upcoming 600 Pullman version of the decked-out beast.
The car in our new gallery of spy shots is sporting beefy B-pillars and a massive set of rear doors that should allow perfectly graceful ingress and egress from what is likely to be a palatial rear space. (In one photo we can even see a long-wheelbase S-Class in line with the new Pullman, handily exhibiting the size of the new variant.) The exterior modifications are otherwise obscured, though we can guess at revised front and rear fascia and lighting elements, based on both end being heavily taped for these test runs.
It's a good bet that the Pullman will make use of M-B's twin-turbocharged V12 engine, though sources indicate that a hybrid version might eventually be in the offing, as well.
Mercedes was set to sell version of Nissan Titan, now Infiniti might instead
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Mercedes-Benz Titan. Mercedes-Benz Frontier. Mercedes-Benz pickup truck. None of these things roll off the tongue particularly well. We'd like to think that's the reason Daimler opted to kill the idea of rebadged Titan and Frontier pickups from corporate ally Nissan. In reality, the execution before the Frankfurt Motor Show was due to more complicated issues.
Yes, Mercedes, byword for German luxury, style and quality, would have slapped a three-pointed star on a pair of Japanese pickup trucks that have failed to resonate with consumers in the world's largest truck market. That slapping of badges isn't much of an exaggeration, at least on the outside. According to the report from Road & Track, the truck's front clip would have been tweaked, but beyond that, the sheetmetal would have been unchanged. The interior would have received a more thorough going-over by the team at Mercedes, while the suspension and noise, vibration and harshness tuning would have also received significant attention.
The trucks would have ended up being sold through the light-commercial branch of Mercedes-Benz - the same folks that will happily sell you a Sprinter van - had the deal gone through. Issues arose, though, first with the engines. Mercedes wanted a wider range of powertrains to allow it to tune models for specific markets, while Nissan said it couldn't engineer the wide variety of engines that MB wanted to drop under the hood. For the smaller truck, meanwhile, MB was interested in a hybrid or plug-in variant, according to R&T, although this was also shot down by Nissan.
