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-Benz C-Class named 2015 World Car of the Year

Thu, Apr 2 2015

It's been a good morning for Mercedes-Benz, with three of the company's wares taking home awards today at the New York Auto Show. The 2015 World Car of the Year awards have just been announced, and the charming new C-Class sedan has taken top honors, beating both the new Volkswagen Passat and Ford Mustang. But Car of the Year isn't the only award Mercedes received this morning. Here are the other World Car announcements, where M-B was honored two more times. World Performance Car of the Year: Mercedes-AMG GT World Luxury Car of the Year: Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe World Green Car of the Year: BMW i8 World Car Design of the Year: Citroen C4 Cactus Congratulations, all around, to this fantastic group of cars.

2016 Mercedes C-Class Coupe offers S-Class style on a budget

Tue, Sep 15 2015

This is the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe and it's the new best-looking vehicle in the small, luxury, sport coupe market. Bold praise, you say? Well, check out the live photos up top and let us know if you still disagree. As previously mentioned, the C-Class Coupe uses the same tactic as its four-door brother, aping the look of the flagship S-Class, but on a smaller, far more affordable scale. That means the same bold but sophisticated front fascia, slim, horizontally oriented taillights, and strong character line as the S-Class Coupe. It's a similar deal in the cabin, where Mercedes stuck with the aluminum and leather-heavy styling of the S-Class. It's a handsome cockpit for sure, complete with a meaty, flat-bottomed steering wheel and prominent display atop the dash. Although like its big brother, those backseats are there more for show than anything else, thanks to that plunging, fastback-like roofline. Expect the engine options on the C-Class Coupe to mirror those on the four-door sedan, with a base 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, a twin-turbocharged V6, and eventually, a range-topping, fire-breathing C63 AMG. You can guess which one we're most eager to drive. Rear-wheel drive should be standard, although expect Mercedes' popular 4Matic all-wheel-drive system to be a popular option. Seven-speed automatic transmissions should be the order of the day, while the C63 will get some incarnation of the brand's AMG Speedshift line. As we suggested at the beginning of this story, you should check out our full gallery of photos direct from the floor of the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.

2016 Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix recap: another wild show on and off track

Mon, Apr 18 2016

Normally we use this space to provide a lengthy recap of the weekend's Formula 1 race, but we're going to try something different since most folks reading this know what happened at the Shanghai International Circuit on Sunday. Instead, we'll alight on what we saw as the big issues in and around the race. Let us know what you think in Comments. Proper qualifying is back. Thank goodness. It only took a month of embarrassment to fix it. And so is passing! For the third race in a row, big performance improvements at the ten teams behind Mercedes-AMG Petronas and a wider tire selection at this race graced us with opening stints filled with dicing cars. Seeing the McLarens on screen doesn't make us cringe. Manor doesn't only make the global feed when it's being lapped. We've been complaining about parade races for so long that we forgot excitement was possible without rain or wholesale regulation changes. Yes, Mercedes is still the king of the jungle, but there are some other proper midfield beasts on the hunt, too. Malfunctions up and down the grid did help the show in Shanghai, like Lewis Hamilton suffering perpetual troubles, Nico Hulkenberg's runaway front wheel which red-flagged Q2, and Sebastian Vettel's and Kimi Raikkonen's flubbed hot laps in Q3 that let Daniel Ricciardo slip by into second on the grid. Come race day things went all Grand Theft Auto at Turn 1 on the opening lap, sending some of the best cars to the pits. Then came Ricciardo's puncture while leading, then came the Safety Car – all by Lap 5. Nico Rosberg got 38 seconds of airtime on the way to victory – at the start and the finish, and that happened to be his margin of victory, too – otherwise he was a ghost. Everyone else was struggling and juggling. Rosberg's win at the Bahrain Grand Prix put the German at five consecutive victories going back to last year's Mexican Grand Prix. The history books show that any driver who's won five straight contests has gone on to win the championship. With his triumph in China, the German has won the season's first three races, the history books again show that the other nine drivers who've pulled that off have gone on to win the championship. Rosberg, 36 points ahead of his teammate in the standings, is having none of it. He said of the other victors, "But they didn't have Lewis Hamilton as their team-mate." Perhaps Mercedes was right not to make an engine deal with Red Bull last season.
