This car has been up here before. Back on ebay with a much lower reserve. Time to mover her!

Any transmission work done and how about timing chain and valve guides?

davidrap · #3 01-08-2007, 01:33 AM

I do not have all of the records for the car.

I have no record or any trans work other than flushes.

Timing Chain and guides have been done, but I don't know at what mileage. It was estimated to have been done at 130k by po.

Thanks,

David

Auction is over in a few hours. This is a really nice 560 and I'd like to see it sold, it's a great deal!

Ebay item #270072384435

My 560 didn't sell on ebay.

This highly maintained car is still available.

Make me a reasonable offer! I have tons of $ in recent work.

Email me for pix or info or use the above info to check it out.

Thanks,

David

Bump.

Offers? I am thinking $3700 with factory rims/ugly tires $4250 with 16" 8 Holes and brand new khumos...

I have amost 7k in her.

Thanks,

David

I too am shocked at what people offer. Just redoing the rear suspension cost me more than most offers I receive. It is a shame that many people don't realize the value of a maintained rust free car. With the market like this many of these older W126s are worth more in parts!

But your car is not rust free.

Your ebay description says, "only ` dime sized rust bubble above the cladding on the RR door. It is not rust through and could easily be repaired. "

davidrap · #10 01-19-2007, 06:51 PM

True,

I should say virtually rust free. It does have that one spot.

If you'd like to come visit me in Chicago you can see first hand how most late 80's W126 are doing here. They are all rusty junk. My last 85 300SD (bought for $250) had more holes than a block of swiss cheese!

I believe you.

I can't understand why your car hasn't sold either. The price seems fine to me. If I was in the market for a clean 560SEL with as much maintenance as yours has had, I'd have bought it.

Tomguy · #12 01-19-2007, 09:04 PM

If it were in PA, or within a 2 hour drive from me (one way) I'd have bought it by now.

I dont know if that's any consolation or not

davidrap · #13 01-22-2007, 02:27 PM

Don't know if I mentioned...

I am open to trades as well. For Example:

300TDT

Older GM V8 Cadillacs Buicks or Olds.

If you too have way more in your car than you can sell it for we should talk.

Thanks,

David

DrewGerhan · #14 01-22-2007, 03:27 PM

An 81 300SD?

davidrap · #15 01-22-2007, 05:41 PM

Young Benz please PM me some details about your car.

Also for trades, I will consider boats if you got one you aren't using.

Thanks,

David
