Good day, ladies and gentlemen. Up for sale is my 1990 560sec. My wife and I are having a child, so unfortunately I am forced to sell this beautiful masterpiece of a car for something that can accommodate a baby. I searched for two years for a 560sec that was up to my requirements in terms of overall condition, and I bought this one just over one year ago. I had no intention of ever selling it, so I have put an impressive amount of time and money into the car.

Here's a brief history of the vehicle: I am technically the third owner; however, the first owner sold it shortly after purchasing it new, which if I recall correctly was in the year 1991. The second owner was an elderly, wealthy lady living in Virginia Beach. She kept this car in the garage at all times, and naturally she followed all the routine maintenance. I didn't think twice about buying it from her, for I had never seen a 560sec that was in such good condition. Since owning the vehicle, I have replaced the following parts, many of which did not necessarily need replacing buy which I replaced anyway simply to fulfill my tendency to be extremely particular about my cars. Nearly all of these parts are original equipment, meaning they are the same manufacturer of parts that Mercedes uses: 

- Radiator
- Fan clutch
- Fan blade
- A/C charge and inspection
- Monovalve
- Hydraulic accumulators
- Bilstein shock absorbers
- Voltage regulator
- Fuel filter
- Transmission oil filter, seal and transmission oil change
- Hydraulic fluid
- Rear brake discs
- Brake pads
- PCV hose
- Intake hoses
- Spark plugs
- Spark plug wires
- Distributor cap
- Distributor rotor
- Rear differential fluid
- Professional replacement of roof lining
- Hood pad

In addition to these changes, I have also been extremely particular about changing the oil, oil filter, and air filter. I have also spent a great deal of time buffing out paint imperfections, though there still remain a few scratches and there is one small dent/ding on the front quarter panel. I recently bought a new genuine Mercedes "560sec" badge, but I have not had time to replace it yet (the "5" on the "560sec" badge is chipped, which is why I bought a new one.

The antenna on this car does not go up or down, a very common issue with this car. A replacement is not expensive. Also, there is some delamination on the rear glass which gives the glass an icy appearance on the bottom corners, which are also a very common problem with this car, so much so that nearly every 560sec or 560sel that I have seen has this issue. From what I can tell, all of the seals are in top shape, which is naturally attributed to the fact that this car has been garaged at all times. I also have a car cover that I use when I am forced to park it outdoors. To keep the carpets in like new condition, I place towels on the floor. There are no signs of rust that I am aware of, which is extremely rare for this body style being that they are notoriously prone to rust. I recommend changing the front brake discs. I just received some in the mail and I will include them with the purchase. The tires are good for awhile longer, though you may want to consider changing them. Good tires for this car are not expensive.

You will not find a 560sec that has been loved as much as this one, nor will you likely find one in this good of condition. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Mercedes-AMG GT S aggressively priced at $129,900*

Sun, Jan 25 2015

Just a few days ago we brought you leaked information regarding pricing for Mercedes' new flagship supercar. Now the German automaker has confirmed that the new Mercedes-AMG GT S will indeed retail for $129,900 (*plus a $925 destination charge). That may seem like a big chunk of change, and by most standards it is. But it starts to fall into reasonable territory when you put it into context. For one thing, it's not the most expensive Mercedes – not by a long shot. The previous SLS AMG fetched around $200k, and most anything else at the top of the AMG range – like the S63, SL63, G63 or GL63 – will set you back more than the new GT S, and don't even get us started on anything with the V12 and the number 65. The new Maybach S600 will set you back nearly $190k, and that bonkers G63 6x6 goes for over half a million. As for its rivals, the pricing places the AMG GT S right on pace with the Porsche 911 GT3 (whose 475 horsepower the Benz neatly trumps with 503 hp) and a good $20k less than the more powerful 911 Turbo. It also comes closer to the $115,900 that Audi charges for an R8 with a V8 than the $153,900 it gets for the ten-cylinder version, although the Benz edges closer to the latter in terms of output. The pricing does make it a fair bit more expensive than even the top end of the Jaguar F-Type range, which (short of the Project 7 speedster) maxes out at under $100k for the R model. Contrary to its predecessor and the SLR that came before, however, Benz is wisely staying out of Ferrari/Lamborghini/McLaren territory this time around. In short, Mercedes has clearly weighed its pricing strategy carefully. But if $130k is still too rich for your blood, the less potent base Mercedes-AMG GT will follow in the spring of 2016 with less power (quoted at 456 hp) and with a list price that's yet to be announced but promises to be a fair bit lower. In the meantime, deliveries of the GT S are scheduled to commence in April of this year. MERCEDES-BENZ ANNOUNCES PRICING ON ALL-NEW MY2016 MERCEDES-AMG GT S New Sports Car to Start at $129,900* January 23, 2015 - MONTVALE, NJ With the new Mercedes-AMG GT model range, the Mercedes-AMG sports car brand is moving into a new segment. As the second sports car developed entirely in-house by Mercedes-AMG, the GT has everything you would expect from an authentic Mercedes-AMG, from the characteristic styling, thoroughbred motorsport technology to the optimum weight distribution.

2015 Brazilian Grand Prix is the same as it ever was

Mon, Nov 16 2015

At this point, we hope Nico Rosberg is planning to carry his current qualifying form into the 2016 season and back it up with the same kind of race-day cojones he showed winning the race in Mexico City two weeks ago. The Mercedes-AMG Petronas driver got it right enough again on Saturday afternoon to take his fifth consecutive pole position ahead of teammate Lewis Hamilton by almost a tenth of a second. It's the same one-two from Brazil last year. The bad news for the rest of the field is that the winner in Brazil the last seven years has been one of the two drivers on the front row. Last year it was the Williams duo that lined up behind Mercedes, this year it's Ferrari. Sebastian Vettel plays the stalking horse, securing third in his Ferrari ahead of teammate Kimi Raikkonen in fourth. Williams driver Valtteri Bottas actually qualified in fourth, but he had to serve a three-spot grid penalty for passing under red flags in Free Practice 2, so he started sixth. That promoted Sahara Force India driver Nico Hulkenberg up to fifth. Daniil Kvyat was the quickest representative from Infiniti Red Bull Racing, getting into seventh even with a Renault power unit that's weak on some of the key stretches at the Interlagos track. Felipe Massa had the second Williams in eighth, in front of the second Red Bull driven by Daniel Ricciardo in ninth. Toro Rosso hasn't confirmed its drivers for next year but Max Verstappen keeps making it hard to look elsewhere, taking 10th. Rosberg is working nearly the same trick he pulled last year: drive like a second driver for most of the year, drive like a world champion for the last quarter of a season. He pulled away at the start and covered Hamilton just enough on the run to the first corner to keep Hamilton on the outside. By the end of Turn 1 the German had the lead and didn't give it up for the rest of the race outside of pit stops. Without overwhelming pace to pass and unable to follow closely, Hamilton could do nothing except ask his team for a different strategy to go for the win. When Mercedes told him "No," trying to protect Rosberg's second place in the championship ahead of Vettel, that was the race. Just like last year, Rosberg and Hamilton finished one-two. Vettel, Raikkonen, Bottas, Hulkenberg, and Kvyat drove lonely races to finish in positions three through seven.
