Just some suggestions:

1. Pictures would be a big help...inside, outside, engine bay, etc

2. You should list if you have complete or partial maintenance history, how long you've owned it, and anything you know or can prove was done to it prior to your ownership.

3. You should talk about condition of cosmetics....paint/body/glass/chrome/rubber, original or not and in what shape? Interior leather, wood, headliner, dash, seats, etc.

4. You should talk about condition of mechanicals...anything NOT working? Leaking? In need of repair? Was timing chain done? Has car been checked for head gaskets condition?

The more info you can list, the more likely it is you'll find a buyer (at least on here). Even though you may know the heat blows hot, the ride is tight and not rattly, the exhaust is not rumbly, there's no rust, etc no one else does unless you say so. People assume the worst.

Good luck with the sale!

Yeah, Jeff, Bruce knows what he's talking about. Post some pictures. I am always on the lookout for a nice SEC.

Hello, Tim. Nice to see you're still with us. I have the itch to get an SEC. Maybe I'll pull the trigger here shortly . . . I need a nice 5.6 liter economy car to drive now that gas is over $3.50 a gallon.

I just sold my time capsule 1986 560SEC with 27K miles. My 1989 Euro is on ebay now.

Good luck selling, didn't mean to hijack the thread, hence no link to my stuff.

But here are a couple of pics of the '86. These are the types of pics you need to take and post with your ad.

I added to my post, hope this helps. Any specific questions please write.

I give up.

I hope your sale of the 560 goes well, jkal.

Bruce, the photos of the 560 euro on eBay are not even close to being as crisp as the ones in the your attachments above. It's a shame to lose those details, especially on a black car. Good fortune to you, too.

Jeff, you said, "Nice car, but not perfect." What does that mean? Obviously, there are some things that will need to be done to it. Can you mention some of those perhaps? Rust? Timing chain? Exhaust system? Etc.
