1990 560sec 100,000 Miles on 2040-cars
Williamsburg, Virginia, United States
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: - 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 testing C-Class plug-in hybrid modes in Germany
Wed, 07 May 2014Testing appears to be underway for what would be the first Mercedes-Benz C-Class with a hybrid powertrain. We can see a pair of the prototypes undergoing testing in Germany, with one, a C-Class Wagon, still heavily clad in camouflage and featuring a more noticeable outlet on the passenger side of its rear bumper.
There's also a more production-looking sedan, which features a not-so-discreet flap over its rear-bumper outlet. It's difficult to speculate on power outputs for this fuel-sipping C-Class, although our spies seem to think that this car will feature some combination of a four-cylinder gas engine with an electric motor, although just which four is unclear (note, we wouldn't mind if MB fit its 2.0-liter turbo with some batteries and motors). Regardless, the four-pot/electric motor seems like a pretty reasonable combo, although it probably means that Mercedes won't be challenging the six-cylinder-powered system of the BMW ActiveHybrid3 any time soon.
When the plug-in C-Class arrives later this year as a 2015 model, it will likely offer a full range of driving modes, including both gas or electric, only, as well as a more traditional hybrid mode.
Mercedes-AMG teases C63 coupe
Tue, Aug 18 2015Thanks to a recently leaked presentation slide, the cat is already out the bag when it comes to the attractive styling of the Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe. Still, Mercedes' long series of teases for the upcoming two-door's design continues in a new video. Unlike the last brief teaser, this latest clip shows the coupe completely free of camouflage. Although, the editing is so quick in the 15-second clip, you never really get a strong glimpse at the future model beyond its front bumper. Not that we're complaining about another opportunity to hear the growl from the 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V8. After several videos and galleries of images with various looks at the new model, the wait to learn everything about the C63 Coupe is nearly over – the official reveal comes on August 19. All signs suggest that the two-door will offer the same choice as the sedan between 469 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque or 503 hp or 516 lb-ft versions of the twin-turbo V8 with a seven-speed gearbox.
Mercedes Sprinter updated to take on Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster
Mon, 29 Apr 2013By 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.
