THIS SPECTACULAR 1992 MERCEDES 600SEL IS A SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CAR THAT WAS NEVER SMOKED IN AND IS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION. THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS OBSESSED WITH THIS CAR AND DURING THE PAST TWO YEARS SPENT $10,000-$15,000 ON IT. THE WORK INCLUDED NEW BRAKES, TRANSMISSION REBUILD, NEW RADIATOR, NEW FAN CLUTCH, NEW THERMOSTAT, ETC., ETC., ETC. THE 20” WHEELS ALONE PROBABLY COST MORE THAN THIS CAR WILL SELL FOR IN THIS AUCTION. RECENT CALIFORNIA SMOG CERTIFICATION PERFORMED AND IS READY TO TRANSFER TO A NEW CALIFORNIA OWNER. THE TERM “A LOT OF CAR FOR THE MONEY” HAS NEVER BEEN MORE TRUE THAN WHEN IT COMES TO ACQUIRING A PREVIOUSLY OWNED MERCEDES BENZ 600SEL! THIS IS A MERCEDES “SUPER CAR”! THE W140, AS IT REFERRED TO BY MERCEDES, IS KNOWN AS THE LAST MERCEDES TO BE “OVERENGINEERED”, A MERCEDES TRAIT THAT WAS COSTING THE COMPANY PRODUCT DELAYS AND OVERBUDGETING. ACCORDING TO MOTOR TREND, THIS POLICY RESULTED IN THE DEPARTURE OF WOLFGANG PETER, DAIMLER-BENZ’S CHIEF ENGINEER. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE W140 IS BELIEVED TO HAVE COST MERCEDES BENZ IN EXCESS OF $1 BILLION! MERCEDES GOAL WAS TO CREATE A REMARKABLE CAR THAT WOULD RIVAL ROLLS ROYCE! THE 600SEL WAS THE FLAGSHIP MERCEDES BENZ WITH A STICKER PRICE OF ABOUT $133,000. THAT WAS A TON OF MONEY IN THE EARLY 1990’S. THEY ARE VERY SMOOTH AND POWERFUL WITH THEIR 6-LITER 402HP V12 ENGINE AND 428 LB-FT OF TORQUE, THAT PROPELLED THIS 5,000 LB CAR FROM 0-60 IN 5.7 SECONDS! POWER IS TRANSMITTED TO THE REAR WHEELS THROUGH A FOUR SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE 600SEL HAS SO MANY HIGHLY ENGINEERED TRICK FEATURES, I AM UNABLE TO LIST THEM ALL WITHOUT SPENDING HOURS PUTTING TOGETHER THE LIST. BUT AN EXAMPLE IS THE DUAL PANE GLASS, POWER RECLINING REAR SEAT BACK, POWER REAR SEAT HEADRESTS, POWER ASSISTED CLOSING FOR ALL FOUR DOORS AND THE TRUNK LID, REAR PARKING MARKERS THAT RISE FROM THE REAR FENDER CORNERS, RETRACTABLE REAR WINDOW SCREEN, AND ON AND ON! OF COURSE, IT HAS ALL THE OTHER USUAL LUXURY CAR ACCOUTREMENTS, BUT THEY ARE JUST BETTER THAN THOSE IN THE OTHER LUXURY MARKS. THIS MERCEDES COMES WITH ITS ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUAL. EXTERIOR THIS MERCEDES IS EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE WITH ITS BLACK PEARL POLY PAINT AND SPECIAL 20” CHROME WHEELS. THE PAINT HAS A GREAT SHINE. THE CHROME AND STAINLESS IS ALL VERY GOOD, AND ALL GLASS APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL. IT RIDES ON P255/35ZR20 HIGH PERFORMANCE RADIAL TIRES THAT SHOW VERY LITTLE TREAD WEAR! INTERIOR THE INTERIOR IS IN EXTREMELY GOOD CONDITION WITH THE LEATHER SEATS SHOWING NO SIGNS OF AGE CRACKING. THE INTERIOR APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT ORIGINAL CONDITION, INCLUDING THE CARPET, DOOR PANELS, HEADLINER, DASH, WOOD TRIM, INSTRUMENTS, ETC. THE ORIGINAL RADIO WAS REPLACED WITH A WONDERFUL PIONEER WMA/MP3/AM/FM/CD RADIO WITH REMOTE CONTROL AND PHONE FUNCTION. THIS MERCEDES HAS A HANDS-FREE PHONE SYSTEM AND A FACTORY PHONE IN THE CENTER CONSOLE. THE A/C WORKS PERFECTLY AND BLOWS ICE COLD! THE A/C HAS DRIVER, PASSENGER AND REAR SEAT CONTROLS. ENGINE COMPARTMENT THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS IN VERY CLEAN ORIGINAL CONDITION. PLEASE SEE PHOTOS. TRUNK THE TRUNK IS ALSO IN VERY NICE CLEAN CONDITION. PLEASE SEE PHOTO. THERE IS A CD CHANGER IN HERE. MECHANICALS THIS 1992 MERCEDES 600SEL IS POWERED BY ITS 402 HP V12 48-VALVE FUEL INJECTED ENGINE WITH DUAL EXHAUST AND FOUR SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. IT PRODUCES 428 FT-LBS OF TORQUE @ 3,800 RPM. THE ENGINE RUNS STRONG, THE REBUILT TRANSMISSION WORKS AS IT SHOULD AS DO THE HIGH PERFORMANCE POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING, ETC.

THIS IS A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE THIS CALIFORNIA 600SEL THAT WILL GIVE YOU YEARS OF DRIVING ENJOYMENT AND PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP. See my (529) 100% Feedbacks and BID WITH CONFIDENCE! BID TO WIN! Vehicle Condition: THIS 1992 MERCEDES LOOKS GREAT! THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES VERY WELL! This 1992 Mercedes is 23 years old, so minor signs of age are to be expected! Let me first say that everything appears to be in excellent condition. However, there are some items that need to be mentioned. The previous owner was obsessed with this car and during the past two years spent $10,000-$15,000 on it. The work included a high quality repaint in the original Black Pearl Poly, transmission rebuild, new brakes, new radiator, new fan clutch, new thermostat, etc., etc. There is a very minor well done paint touchup on the rear bumper, the chrome trim strip on the passenger side of the rear bumper is slightly misaligned and there are two screws at the back end of the wood panel on the console to hold it down. Other than that, this is a spectacular 600 SEL. You can tell from the photos how perfect everything looks. I am not an expert on these, but everything I knew to check operates as it should. The car has already been smogged for California and is ready for the new owner to drive and enjoy. The mileage on this car is 145,863 but it has been meticulously maintained through the years. This 600SEL will definitely make you feel proud to be seen driving it! Terms of Sale: BIDS ARE BINDING. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK THEM PRIOR TO BIDDING.
