1990 Mercedes 560 SEL 560SEL Nice Shape! CA Car

1990 Mercedes-Benz 500-Series Description

Hi, I’m selling my 560SEL that I’ve owned for a few months. My father and I are Mercedes enthusiasts and our fleet currently includes a 1997 S600 Coupe a 2003 CL55 and this was our newest addition. I’ve come to love this car in our short ownership it is a thoroughly charming and civilized car with autobahn composure and bank vault reminiscent build quality. I am in need of a new camera as my previous Nikon D800 broke I would rather not sell this car but I need the money and We have too many cars to deal with at the moment. A little TLC is needed but this car will be a fantastic example with a small amount of work, recently we swapped the battery with a slightly used one replaced both fuel pumps, the coolant overflow tank, and the alternator. With minimal time and a conservative amount of money and this charming w126 could make a great driver or a fantastic add on to any affordable car collection preferably one with multiple 4500-5000lb behemoth Mercs like us! ;)

rear window switches are not working as well the power bench can be reclined with left side switch and returned to upright with right side switch.

could use some touch-up paint on the grey trim

Tinting needs removed or replaced.

This car is not perfect but for its age it is pretty damn good, its miles from a parts car and it's no show car as well. With some TLC this will make a great driver or garage queen it's fantastically preserved but it's not entirely what it could be. This is a terrific place to take over as almost everything works and is in very good visual condition for 27 years of age, it also is registered smogged and runs and drives well. I have avoided listing this car for the last week because I've grown attached to the venerable idea of adding it to our depreciation fleet but I need the money so here we are! I can help arrange with shipping if wanted and if you have any questions concerns or want to know more please send me a message or text me at 2132848195 the car is located in Los Angeles.
