FS: 1987 560SEL Super Clean Highly Maintained - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

davidrap · #1 08-23-2006, 11:23 PM

I recently purchased a 560SEL. It is an awesome car that was owned by my Indie Mechanic's Daughter and of course expertly maintained.

I though my girlfriend would like driving it, but she's 5'2" so its a little big for her.

Here is some detail and I will get some pix:

1987 560SEL
Light Blue on Blue
177K
Timing Chain, Valve Guides, Tensioner etc already done
Brand New OEM rear accumulators, sls module and hydraulic lines
New front end track rods
Excellent original paint - always garaged
Brand New 8 Hole Wheels with Brand New Kuhmo tires and an alignment
New Coverlay dashpad (the blue pads always crack)
Blaupunkt CD - I do not have the becker

Everything works, even the clock. This is a fine specimen drives great and needs nothing. The only minor probelm is the smog pumps whines for about 1 min. after startup. Then it gets quiet. It passes emmisions with no problem. Other than that this is a beautiful rust free car.

I am asking $5500. The vehicle is located in Chicago.

Someone will buy that one quick. I bet it's about perfect.

Certainly it sounds like no big ticket maintenance items are on the agenda.
If I needed another I'd certainly consider this one. Very fair price you are asking for it.

Couldn't you convince your girlfriend to adjust the seats on it so she'd be more comfortable? I know shorter people could feel lost inside a car like that, but she is SOOOO safe in a car like that, a campaign to get her to give it another look would be worth it.

They are older cars, but so safe, steady and comfortable, when in good shape. they will really stand up in a horrendous accident, not like those cheap tin box cars that are thrifty on gas. Just one guy's opinion

Carpet is flawless with a new set of MB floor mats on top. Seats have no cracks rips or holes in the leather. It really looks like a car with about half the mileage!

Thanks,

David

I plan on putting her on ebay if not sold by week's end.

She's a beautiful ride that I would prefer go to a forum member.

If I ebay her I will post the item # here.

Thanks,

David

C'Mon guys please don't make me answer fleabay questions like

"Isn't a 560 a diesel?"

I would really like to see this car go to an MB enthusiast!

Okay, Panda. What's your address? I was just sitting here wondering what to do with this pile of money on my desk. I've just been using it to light cigars . . .
