At that mileage, I guess it could go either way. Properly cared for, it might be a good car, but if it wasn't maintained, it could be a mess. And being sold by non-MB people, I am sure you'd get some funny stories about it. It doesn't look bad, though.
I did notice what appears to be a "power port" installed on the driver's side near the console and a possible tear in the interior below the dash (both items can be seen in this picture). FYI, the 560 SEC doesn't look as good in person as on the website.

I've never done a carfax on my car. The car was one owner before me, and they kept every receipt. If it got crashed, they sure fixed it perfectly, and the owners kept no records of it. I'll risk it.
I had fairly complete records of my car for the past ten years, but I was curious as to where it'd been titled, etc. prior to my wife's family getting it (they bought it through M-B's Certified Pre-owned program). M-B told me, but Carfax was unable (actually, I could've saved myself the trouble by looking at what was in the glovebox; it had the original sale papers from Downtown LA Motors along with the salesman's name). Not that I'm obsessed or anything.

That 560 SEL looks gorgeous!!!!
