Here is your chance to own one of Mercedes-Benz’s best and most expensive production cars at an impossibly low starting bid and no reserve. This is the very best car I've ever owned; I would drive it coast to coast and back again - now - today. Well, then ... why am I selling it? I am 78 years old on a fixed income. I have too many vehicles. Medical bills are eating me alive. Need I say more? In 2008 I drove a 1986 Porsche 911 from Maine to Georgia to attend a high school reunion. Just before I departed from Georgia I blew an air box. A week later and a thousand dollars poorer it looked like I was going to be throwing hundred dollar bills at the car for at least another week. It was then that I decided to swap even the Porsche for the Mercedes 560 SEC. By the time I got back to Maine I was in love with the Mercedes. My total virtual investment in the SEC 560 at that time was $11,000.00. The car has been a dependable runner and I have taken it on many long distance trips. This vehicle has a strong engine that uses no oil. The odometer ceased to work on August 5, 2011 at 134,622 miles. I would rate the condition of this car as "good." It has dependably taken me on many trips from Maine to Georgia. Two years ago I towed a utility trailer from Maine to Western Vermont and returned with a sidecar motorcycle. The vehicle runs and drives great. It has been well maintained and has had all necessary work done to obtain a yearly Maine inspection sticker, which expires on 1 January 2014. There is a half-dollar size circle of bare aluminum on the hood and trunk lid of the car. The spots look like hail damage but there is no denting. There is a minor rust spot at the rear of the left side wheel arches and some chrome flaking on the front bumper. The sun roof needs some parts to be installed, which could possibly be in the trunk. I have seldom owned a vehicle without a trailer hitch. I purchased and installed the only receiver hitch available for this model car. I don’t remember the price but it was a doozie. Recently the ABS light on the dashboard occasionally comes on. My mechanic says that a front sensor needs to be adjusted or replaced; aside from this the brakes work perfectly. Last month a latch spring in the left side door broke. Consequently, the latch has to be reset (a simple operation) if the door is opened from the outside. The gray leather interior is "fair." The driver’s seat shows wear from 27 years of regular use. The upholstery under the rear window needs to be re-sewn or replaced. The rear window has some haze along the sides. There may or may not be some additional minor items that could be fixed but do not affect the operation of the vehicle. The car is sold "AS-IS." I am a private seller. I have done my best to describe this item carefully and accurately, The pictures depict this item exactly as it is. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. Thanks for looking!

New European charging network will offer speeds up to 350 kW
Tue, Nov 29 2016It's about to get easier to fast-charge your electric vehicle across Europe thanks to four major automakers working together in a new joint venture. BMW, Daimler (Mercedes-Benz), Ford, and the VW Group (Audi and Porsche) have all signed a Memorandum of Understanding to install about 400 DC fast charging sites in Europe. As you may know, there are different types of fast chargers, but the ones that this group is talking about installing will be able to charge an EV in much less time than other stations. That's because these chargers will offer power levels of "up to 350 kW." Compare that to what's generally considered the current gold standard, the Tesla Superchargers, which have rates of up to 145 kW and a statement not that long ago from a Ford exec that suggested that 150 kW chargers would be the new normal. Of course, the Tesla chargers use the company's proprietary connector and the new network the JV is setting up will use the CCS standard. The first new stations will go up in 2017 and those 400 sites are just the beginning. A joint statement by the JV says that EV drivers will "have access to thousands of high-powered charging points" by 2020 along highways and main roads. "The charging experience is expected to evolve to be as convenient as refueling at conventional gas stations," the companies said. While not every electric vehicle will be able to take advantage of the 350 kW charging rate, the companies involved would be silly to build the infrastructure without vehicles that can handle that kind of energy flow. The JV says it would welcome participation from other automakers and will cooperate with interested regional partners.

Brabus boosts big Benz plug-in hybrid
Thu, May 28 2015With vehicles like the BMW i8 and Porsche 918 Spyder, the Germans have demonstrated as well as anyone that "performance" and "hybrid" can go in the same sentence. And now Brabus is plugging in to the performance hybrid station as well. Though nowhere near as extreme as the aforementioned PHEV sports cars, the Brabus PowerXtra B50 Hybrid performance kit kicks the Mercedes S550 Plug-In Hybrid up a notch. The electric side of the powertrain remains untouched, but the internal combustion engine has been boosted by 51 horsepower and 52 pound-feet of torque. That gives the 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 a total of 385 hp and 405 lb-ft, which is nothing to cough at – but with the electric boost kicking in, the vehicle now packs a combined output of 493 hp and 656 lb-ft. That slots its twist figure in between that of the S600 and S63 AMG. As a result, the big Brabus hybrid will now reach 62 miles per hour from a standstill in just 4.9 seconds (down from 5.2) – almost as quick as the 12-cylinder model but with half the pistons – though the top speed remains pegged at 155 mph. Naturally, Brabus didn't stop there, giving the sedan a new exhaust, aero kit, rolling stock and interior, all catered to the customer's specifications. BRABUS PowerXtra B50 Hybrid with 368 kW / 500 hp (493 bhp) and 890 Nm of torque The eco-friendly performance upgrade for the new Mercedes S 500 PLUG-IN HYBRID For more than 35 years, BRABUS has been the synonym for powerful high-performance automobiles and exclusive refinement at the highest level of perfection. One philosophy has always been paramount in all these years: combining top performance with exemplary eco-friendliness, immaculate durability and perfect everyday practicality. With the new BRABUS PowerXtra B50 Hybrid performance kit for the new Mercedes S 500 PLUG-IN HYBRID, the engine specialists of the world's largest independent tuner once more demonstrate their unrivalled know-how. The power increase of the V6 engine by 38 kW / 52 hp (51 bhp) and the boost in torque by 70 Nm (52 lb-ft) bumps the system output of the hybrid sedan to 368 kW / 500 hp (493 bhp) and system torque to 890 Nm (656 lb-ft). As a result, the luxury liner sprints from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.9 seconds, and impresses in daily driving with even further enhanced superiority. Due to the hybrid system, the top speed remains electronically limited to 250 km/h (155 mph).
