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 On Oct-22-13 at 19:44:28 PDT, seller added the following information: 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. |

Autoblog drives to the Arctic Circle
Fri, 22 Mar 2013In Which Mercedes' Sprinter Becomes A Long-Distance Sherpa
In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
As I am about to nod off on my long leg flight from Minneapolis to Anchorage ahead of driving to the Arctic Circle, the friendly twenty-something Alaskan knitting furiously in the seat next to me pauses and says, "When you're driving up there, don't open your windows." In the dead of winter? I hadn't planned on cruising alfresco, but her warning to keep the glazing snugged against the weatherstripping is one I would take to heart. She continues: "If you leave 'em open, a fox is liable to jump right in. There are lots of rabid foxes up there, and they leap into your car and just Go. To. Town." And here I was, thinking that a curious bear or maybe an ill-placed moose in the road was going to be my biggest potential four-legged threat. In the wintery wilds of northern Alaska, even the cute little critters want to kill you.
2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Now Even Sharper Than The Razor's Edge
There have been five Black Series models since the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Black Series introduced itself to European audiences in 2006. Following that, the Black Series club has hosted appearances by the 2008 CLK63 AMG Black Series, the 2009 SL65 AMG Black Series and last year's 2013 C63 AMG Black Series. The sixth member of the group is one we would have thought already was a Black Series car in its standard guise. Right out of the box, the SLS AMG is loud, frenetic, cozy, boisterous and frightfully easy to oversteer. How much more Black did it need to get?
Quite a bit so, apparently. The SLS AMG Black Series has lost weight, gained power and been refitted with upgrades and aero bits from front to rear. If you liked the way it looked before, you'll probably be an even bigger fan of this one. If you thought it looked ungainly, well, this one should stay even further away from pageants. Regardless of where you come down this is the best SLS AMG variant we've driven.
Man makes record-setting drive across the US in 28 hours, 50 minutes
Fri, 01 Nov 2013Records, as the say, are made to be broken. Whether that's cramming the most hot dogs down your gullet, running a faster mile, or yes, driving across the United States, odds are that there's someone out there wants to eat more, run faster or drive harder. Speaking of that last example, the record for driving from a set location on the east coast, in particular the Red Ball Garage in Manhattan to the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach, CA, has been one that has fascinated gearheads since a guy named Cannonball Baker made the trek from New York to LA in 53 hours, 30 minutes, in 1933.
The competition saw its glory days when Car and Driver's Brock Yates came up with the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash (more affectionately known as the Cannonball Run), although the record was most recently set by Alex Roy and his 32-hour, seven-minute trek behind the wheel of a BMW M5 in 2006. Now, there's a new champion, who made the trip from east to west in a scarcely imaginable 28 hours and 50 minutes, behind the wheel of a 2004 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG. That's works out to an average speed of 98 miles per hour over the course of 2,813.7 miles.
His name is Ed Bolian, and Jalopnik has a writeup of the epic voyage that details everything from the history of the Cannonball Run to Bolian's preparation and trouble finding co-drivers, to the trip itself. It is well worth a read.
