Overview 1999 was the last and probably the best year for the W140 S-class coupe (or C140). The Bruno Sacco lines still look great today, and the quality of materials throughout is unmatched by anything today short of Bentley or Rolls Royce. The best feature of the car has to be its powertrain -- the legendary M119 V8 matched with a surprisingly lively 5-speed automatic. I'm always looking for an excuse to dip into the throttle and bring the revs past 3000. There's plenty of grunt, even for such a heavy car, and the sound is magnificent. The car excels at long highway trips and, amazingly, can travel up to 600 miles on a single tank of fuel. Ownership History I am the car’s third owner, having purchased it in July 2012 from the estate of a Chicago attorney, who drove the car sparingly for about 10 years. He originally bought it from the local Mercedes-Benz dealer (Knauz Continental Autos) as a Starmark certified pre-owned car with 14,800 miles. (I am not familiar with the original owner.) Condition Body: 9 out of 10 The car is completely original and has never been in an accident nor had any paint or bodywork of any kind. The Midnight Blue paint shines with a depth that only older Mercedes-Benz vehicles seem able to achieve. The only flaws are: a few light scratches on the trunk lid, some small paint chips around the door edges, and a dime-sized door ding on the driver’s side door. Interior: 9.5 out of 10 The Blue Nappa interior looks and even smells new, and everything works perfectly -- with the exception of the driver’s seat, which sometimes doesn’t want to fold forward if you are letting someone into the back (passenger seat works fine) ; also, if you squint, you can see that the driver’s seat has some very slight fading on the bolster nearest to the door. Mechanical: 10 out of 10 The car runs and drives like a brand-new car. It’s an outstanding highway cruiser and gets as much as 25 miles per gallon on long trips. I recently took the car to Oregon and back without any problems whatsoever. Service History The car has received all of its scheduled maintenance at Mercedes-Benz dealerships. The only repair I’ve had to make during my ownership was to have broken plastic gear in the passenger seat replaced; I had this work done at German Motor Car Service in Santa Monica. I put new Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires on when I bought the car; they have approximately 10,000 miles on them now. The car comes with all of its original books and manuals as well as two keys. Pricing Kelley Blue Book places the private party value for this car in excellent condition at $14,125. In the interest of a quick sale, I am pricing the car at $13,500 or best offer. Reason for Sale I’m selling the car now because it’s currently just a weekend car for me, and I would like to use the funds to offset the costs of some recent home improvement work. |

New Die Hard movie wrecked 132 cars in $11 million chase scene [w/video]
Sat, 16 Feb 2013It would seem the act of dying hard brings with it lots of wanton destruction of the four-wheeled kind. According to John Moore, director of A Good Day To Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again. Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there... That's the fun of it."
Please join us in one great big collective sigh. Done? Okay, let's continue.
"With Die Hard it's about how audacious the action is," says Moore. "So you have to drive over a Lamborghini. An actual one. And yes it hurts me. I'm a car fanatic." Yeah. Sounds like it hurt really bad... though not as bad as the final tally after all the carnage had been counted: "Someone showed me the numbers on the car chase and soup to nuts, you put it all together it was like an $11 million sequence."
Autoblog Minute: New Civic, FCA UAW Agreement, Frankfurt
Fri, Sep 18 2015FCA reaches a tentative agreement with the UAW, Honda reveals the all-new 2016 Civic, and the Frankfurt Motor Show dazzles us again. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the Weekly Recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] FCA reaches a tentative agreement with the UAW, Honda reveals the all-new 2016 Civic, and the Frankfurt Motor Show dazzles us again. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. FCA reached a tentative labor agreement with UAW leadership. The major focus of the new deal reportedly includes: the eventual elimination of the two-tier pay scale [00:00:30] and pooling worker health care. Now that a leadership agreement is in place, the deal will be sent to FCA's rank-and-file. FCA has about 36,000 hourly employees. We got a first look at the interior and exterior of the 10th-generation Civic. Honda expects the new sedan to dominate the C-segment when it hits dealerships later this fall. Civic coupe, five-door hatchback, Si and Type R will all come later. The 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show is in the books and there was a lot of news to get excited about. [00:01:00] Porsche introduced a fully electric concept car in the Mission E. If they make this car, Porsche could give Tesla nightmares. We also saw SUVs from Jaguar and Bentley. There were two beautiful Italian convertibles from Ferrari and Lamborghini. Meanwhile, Mercedes introduced a concept of their own in the IAA - a vehicle that experiments with adaptable aerodynamics. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday. Plus we'll have some added insight on General Motors' deal to [00:01:30] avoid federal prosecution.

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.
