1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL

 

This flagship Mercedes-Benz is one of the last of those that were hand-built entirely in Germany!  The fit, finish and quality of this car is extraordinary, and represents the foundation on which Mercedes-Benz built its legendary reputation!

 

If you’re looking for a nice, clean, well-maintained and reliable Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL, this is it!

 

This is a No Reserve auction, meaning that the highest bidder at the end of the auction wins, regardless of the final price!

 

This 560 SEL is loaded with options including a powerful 279 HP 5.6L V8 engine, Automatic Transmission, Automatic Climate Control, Air Conditioning, Leather 8-way Memory Power Front Seats and Dual Stage Heat, Leather Power Reclining Rear Seats with Heat, Driver and Passenger Front Airbags, Four wheel ABS Disc Brakes, Power Sliding Sunroof, Cruise Control, Power Steering, Power Door Locks, Power Windows, Chrome Wheels, Premium Sound System with DVD Player, CD Changer, Tinted Glass, and Anti-Theft Alarm.

 

The body is in very good condition, as is depicted in the several, unedited pictures below.  The car has always been garaged-kept and pampered.  The only spot of rust that can be found is a small blister by the front, passenger-side headlight.  Other than this one, isolated spot, there is no other rust on the car.  This is true for the underside of the car as well, which is completely rust-free.

 

The interior is clean and inviting.  All of the switches and electronics function exactly as they should.  The original radio was replaced with a touch-screen radio/CD/DVD player, which also has a built-in back-up camera (not connected).  Additionally, there is a six-disc CD changer in the trunk that is controlled with an in-dash control unit as well.  The only blemish is a small wear spot in the left bolster of the driver’s seat.  Other than this, the interior is practically flawless.   

 

This car was primarily used for daily, long, highway commutes, as the mileage accurately reflects.  It is not uncommon for 560’s to accumulate well in excess of 500k miles, with proper maintenance, which this car has consistently received.  There are no warning lights displayed on the dash and the engine starts at the turn of the key, is quiet, steady and delivers smooth power throughout the entire rev range.  All of the wheels and tires are well-balanced and the car drives perfectly straight down the road.  The brakes were just serviced, including new rear brake calipers and pads, and firmly stop the car without any shaking or vibration.  

Overall, this is an extremely sturdy, thoroughly maintained and very well cared for example of the legendary Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL.  I wouldn’t hesitate to get into this car today and drive it anywhere!

 

A non-refundable $500 deposit by credit/debit card or bank account through PayPal is due within 24 hours after the close of the auction.  The remaining balance must be paid within five business days via bank wire transfer, or cash.  This car is being sold AS-IS, with no warranty stated or implied in any way.  I’m happy to help with shipping arrangements, but this will ultimately be the responsibility of the winning bidder.  If you should have any additional questions about this car that haven’t been covered in the description, please ask me.  The car is available to be seen and test driven, which I fully encourage; however, please arrange to do this before the auction is completed.


Please note that I have blocked buyers from bidding that do not have a Paypal account.  If you do not have a Paypal account, but would like to bid, please contact me.

 

Thank you for looking and best of luck in the auction!

Maybach lost upwards of $500k on each vehicle sold

Wed, 08 Feb 2012

Daimler is shuttering Maybach in 2013 after seven years of production. In that time, the company's ultra-ultra-luxury arm managed to sell just 3,000 units, and CAR reports Daimler lost somewhere around $500,000 on each and every one of them.
Even with a ludicrous price tag of over $370,000 for an "entry" Maybach 57, the brand couldn't quite recoup the dizzying $1.33 billion Daimler poured into it since its (re)inception. Rumors ignited over a possible tie up with Aston Martin that would have resulted in a range of new and attractive models, but Daimler has instead decided to snuff out Maybach altogether.
We can hardly blame them.

Geely and Mercedes-Benz invest $780 million to make electric Smart cars

Wed, Jan 8 2020

BEIJING/SHANGHAI — Zhejiang Geely and Mercedes-Benz on Wednesday said they would each invest $388.77 million (2.7 billion yuan) in a China-based venture to build "premium and intelligent electrified" vehicles under the Smart brand. The 50:50 venture has received regulatory approval and will be based in the Chinese coastal city of Ningbo, the Chinese and German automakers said in a statement. Like Mercedes-Benz, smart is a Daimler marque. The venture will have manufacturing capacity in China and sales operations in China and Germany, the automakers said. Geely will lead in engineering the cars while Mercedes-Benz will take charge of their overall look, they said. The partners will each have three executives on the board of directors, with Geely's Tong Xiangbei becoming the venture's global chief executive. Geely has expanded rapidly through mergers and acquisitions since buying Sweden's Volvo in 2010 from U.S. parent Ford. In 2018, it built a stake of almost 9.7% in Daimler and set up a ride-hailing venture in China with the Stuttgart-based carmaker. Its latest announcement comes just over a month after China's Great Wall and Germany's BMW formed a venture to build electric Mini-branded cars in China, the world's biggest market for electrified vehicles where demand for smaller EVs is on the rise.

2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]

Fri, 15 Nov 2013

The biggest misconception about the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series is that it's simply a higher-performing version of the SLS GT - a closer look, or better yet, a few hot laps on a high-speed racing circuit, reveals that is anything but the case.
Launched in the States in mid-2011, the standard SLS GT is a 583-horsepower, all-aluminum, gull-wing coupe with performance that positions it near the top of the exotic segment. While the AMG team at Mercedes-Benz could have left it alone, their experience with the SLS AMG GT3 race car said there was room for improvement, so they devised the SLS Black Series. The transformation from SLS GT to SLS Black Series is extensive, with no fewer than 17 different significant enhancements.
The engine mapping, crankshaft, connecting rods, valve-train, intake, exhaust and cooling are all modified and the engine's redline bumps up from 7,200 to 8,000 rpm, which pushes output of the hand-built 6.3-liter V8 to 622 horsepower. The power steering receives a new ratio, a coil-over AMG Adaptive Performance suspension is installed along with underbody braces, the track is widened, two-piece carbon-ceramic brakes replace iron rotors at each corner and a lightweight titanium exhaust is fitted beneath. The AMG Speedshift seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox is modified and an electronically controlled AMG rear differential lock ensures the power goes to the pavement. Last on the mechanical upgrades are new lightweight forged wheels (10x19 inches front and 12x20 inches rear) wrapped in special R-compound Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires.
