For your consideration, the last of the true German made luxury classics. The flag ship for the 1991 model year is considered by collectors to be the finest example of Mercedes engineering and refinement. After 1991 these cars were made either here in America or in Canada.  This was the very last year they were built in  Germany.

This 22 year old beauty has been lovingly maintained over the years and has averaged less than 5,000 miles a year over her life time.  She is one of,  (if not they) nicest 560 SEL's on the East Coast.  Included is the original window sticker and every single maintenance record dating back to the original purchase. The car is from Las Vegas (originally purchased from Fletcher Jones Imports, Las Vegas NV).  She has only been in the Philadelphia area for 2 years, always garage kept.  Runs great, drives very smoothly, perfect daily driver for the discerning individual who desires the status and luxury that comes from only the finest Mercedes Benz ever built.
 
EVERY THING works on this car as it should.  When I purchased her in Feb of 2013 I had her completely gone over by a Mercedes factory authorized master mechanic and fixed or replaced any and all issues that can sometimes problematic after 20 years.  I purchased this same model new in 1991 and drove it for over 250K miles before parting with her and it was one of few cars I have every regretted parting with.  This one was bought with the full intention of driving her and keeping her for many more years.  My ONLY reason for selling her is that I am now restoring two classic cars for my own private collection and will not have the garage space for her over the winter. I can't stand the idea of her sitting outside.  So it is time for some one else to enjoy her comforts.
 
Work recently completed:
- Rear leveling system replaced ($4000 worth of part and labor)
- New Shocks
- Brakes replaced
- Fan Motor Clutch
- New fuel tank (old tank had a pin hole leak and did not want to just patch it)
- New injectors  (yes she is a full injected V-8...that's what the "E" in SEL stands for).
- New Heater Core (heat and air blow hot in winter, icy cold in summer).
- Transmission completely rebuilt like new
- Complete tune up with Spark plugs, wires and rotor and distributor replaced
- New battery
- New dark window tinting (PA legal).
- Professionally detailed every 2 weeks.  Paint is original and in VERY good shape.
- Pennsylvania inspection (safety + emissions) good through December of 2013
 
The one and only "flaw" in the car is a minor tear in the window pillar vinyl.  A common problem for this make and year and can easily be repaired by an upholsterer.  I have included a photo of this.
This was a sentimental restoration for me and I know that I have more in her than she will sell for (almost $12K).  My reserve is set at just over 1/2 that amount and she is worth every penny of that.  I have listed her on EBAY twice before and every one is looking to steal this car for $3500-$4000.  That's not going to happen.  Hemmings Motor news recently had an article on this year,,make and model stating "the 1991 Mercedes 560 SEL is the epitome of classic Mercedes Benz style, prestige, comfort and luxury".  "True  collectors have missed out on the potential of the finest example of flag ship engineering that Mercedes has produced in over 50 year".  The car's value has stayed constant over the last 5 year but will only increase in years to come.
 
Buyers must have a current Pay-Pal account and will be responsible for a $500 deposit with in 48 hours of the end of bidding.  The rest will be due as either a bank check or wire transfer on time of pick up or delivery.   I am more than happy assist in finding a reputable shipper (I have shipped many cars over the last 20 years) , BUT shipping costs will be solely on the buyer.
I do have the car listed locally and reserve the right to end this auction at any time. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have either via email or call 484-639-2717.

Enjoy the bidding, and more important enjoy the car.  Thank you

I've received several emails letting me know of a mistake in this listing regarding the exterior color of this vehicle. The correct color of the car is indeed white, as shown in the picture. I apologize for the mistake of listing it as black at the top of the listing in the description part of the listing. Once again, the vehicle is WHITE with gray interior.

Mercedes Sprinter updated to take on Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

By the end of this year, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter will be the second-oldest nameplate in its segment here in the States, but with hot new competition waiting in the wings, Mercedes-Benz is giving its hauler a freshened look and more equipment to stave off rivals. The Sprinter was a pioneer in bringing Euro-style delivery vans to North America, and it's inspired others to transplant their Continental offerings, with the all-new Ford Transit and Ram Promaster models launching shortly. It will also continue to do battle with lower-cost traditional competitors like the Chevrolet Express and Ford E-Series.
The big Sprinter will thus get a new look to go with more safety features and available technology. While the information released here technically covers the Euro-spec 2013 Sprinter (which goes on sale in September), the US market is expected to get the new Sprinter for the 2014 model year with many of the same features. Some of this new technology includes a Crosswind Assist feature as standard equipment and the availability of Collision Prevention Assist and Blind Spot Assist as optional safety measures - Mercedes-Benz says that all three are firsts for any van in the world. Also added to the updated Sprinter is a new 1.8-liter supercharged gasoline (or CNG) engine producing 156 horsepower, which will complement the line of diesel engines that carry over and help make the Sprinter the first cargo van to meet the upcoming Euro VI emissions standards. Additionally, a lower ride height is said to improve fuel economy and should improve handling while aiding ingress and egress for both people and cargo.
In terms of styling, the Sprinter's new face also looks more like the current line of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars. This includes a more upright grille along with changes to the hood, headlights and bumper that lend it a closer kinship to models like the CLS-Class and the updated E-Class. The Sprinter will offer both halogen and HID headlights, while the latter will get LED running lamps and offer Highbeam Assist. The images shown here only reveal the exterior from front angles, but it looks like few, if any, changes have been made to the rear of the van. Interior upgrades include a thicker steering wheel, a new shift lever and the latest in audio, navigation and entertainment systems. Scroll down for the official press release for the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition

Wed, 26 Dec 2012

Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
