Opinions on this 560SEC...
 Alright, I think it looks to be in very good shape (A lot of the 560SEC's that I see have faded wood trim and cracked unconditioned black leather seats) Paint looks good and I think one good polish and wax would bring it right up to where it needs to be. Now.... Iwrock says its a junk that defiantly has more then 82,000 miles on it. Corrosion in the engine bay etc etc.... This coming from someone who may or may not have a mint 560SEC lying around somewhere...

The drivers side seat bolster is worn down, the bottom of the seat would appear to be worn out.
The paint also looks to have a sort of haze going on. I think the top of the steering wheel may be worn down also. Not sure.

Plus the yellow on the top of the air cleaner, as well as the crumbs and what not in the mirror switch.

I don't know where iwrock is coming from on this. My 126,000 mile 500SL has more wear in the driver's seat than that, and it was driven by a 100 pound little old lady for nearly 20 years of its life.
Will this be a blind ebay purchase? Always a crap shoot, if so. Its very hard to hide imperfections with black paint, and this one looks pretty nice overall. Perhaps someone in the area could take a look at it for you?

To the point though...I can't buy it right now, have that little lawsuit thing to get through before I can seriously considering doing anything else in life right now. Its very rare for a 560SEC to be sold anywhere so I just have to be patient until one goes up for sale around here....and is in good condition...and preferably a 91 model. This one was just a standout from all the others that I've seen up for sale lately....

That looks like a nice car at a good price. It even has the cosmoline left on some parts of the engine.
I don't know what Justin's seeing on the seat, other than the bolster having a little rub mark from getting in and out that all these cars seem to get I don't see any problems. You should be able to tell if the mileage is legit pretty quick by looking at the car.

eval
Lifetime WI. car could mean a lot of rust even if not driven in snow in winter.
Desirable black/black leather combination and last model year. Appears not to have the undesirable '91-only ASR option. Appears to be unmodified stock with original 1991 Becker stereo cassette and unfortunate US spec headlights and headlight wipers/washers. Appears to have books but not any records. May be the original 040 black paint and wheels. No cracks on burlwood. Wear, including that on driver seat bolster is consistent with 82k car. New buyer would need to change out timing chain, tensioner and guide rails due to age issues, especially guide rails probably have spidering and hairline cracks and will be brown and about to crumble. Needs to be checked for water leaks into windows (especially rear window into trunk), operation of seat belt extenders and sunroof, aircon blows cold, vacuum locks operate well, no high idle issues, trans shifts firm and correctly, power seats and windows all operate properly, motor mounts good, no front suspension issues, or SLS problems. Needs complete PPI and copy of dealer VMI . Russian site (not always accurate) confirms US spec standard optioned car. ************************************ History - Mercedes-Benz / VIN Brief version VIN WDBCA45EXMA577526 Model 560 SEC Chassis 1260451A577526 Engine 117968 12 095300 Transmission 722350 03 437048 Order 0 9 704 88685 Approx. year not defined Lights BOSCH Cab 04085 Dealer United States (USA) (704) Interior leather black or anthracite (261) Paint 040 black (T) (с 01.01.1963) 61 Unknown code Options 291 airbag for front passenger airbag for front passenger (с 01.10.1993) airbag for driver and front passenger (с 01.07.1987 по 30.09.1993) airbag for driver and front passenger (if driver airbag standard - then only for passenger) garment trunk, large (с 01.02.1967 по 31.05.1973) trunk set, 7-piece (с 01.01.1976 по 31.08.1978) 300 storage box in front tray (с 01.05.1988) taxi design without compartment wall, taximeter instrument panel (с 01.01.1968 по 31.07.1968) 301 storage box in the rear (с 01.05.1988) 340 additional 3rd stop lamp (с 01.10.1989) front seat, right, lower (с 01.03.1967 по 28.02.1986) 461 instrument with mileage reading and english lettering (с 01.04.1990) 491 USA version (с 01.01.1963) 524 Reims adapter IV (с 01.04.1962 по 28.02.1963) paintcoat preservation (с 01.01.1964) 551 anti-theft warning system (с 01.11.1978 по 31.03.1998) anti-theft/anti-break-in warning system with anti-towing system (с 01.04.1998) steering wheel, ivory-colored (с 01.01.1963 по 31.05.1973) 581 Thermoking air conditioner (с 01.04.1970 по 31.12.1972) automatic climate control (с 01.01.1977) 592 wyellow foglamps (с 01.01.1963 по 31.10.1965) heat-insulating glass, all-around, heated rear window pane (laminated glass), band filter heat-insulating glass, side window panes (с 01.02.1967 по 31.01.1971) green heat-insulating glass all round, heated rear window, laminated safety glass - tinted strip (с 01.01.1972) 639 radial-ply tires, elimination of warning triangle (с 01.11.1973 по 31.10.1974) elimination of first-aid box and warning triangle (с 01.08.1977) 757 Becker radio Grand Prix 2000 - USA (с 01.06.1990 по 31.03.1994) radio with cassette (loudspeakers and antenna included) (с 22.05.1996 по 11.11.1996) 801 Change of year of model, last figure shows new model year 810 roof-mounted loudspeaker (с 01.11.1962 по 30.11.1972) loudspeaker, sound package sound package (bose) (с 01.12.1986) 873 seat heater for left and right front seats (с 01.02.1984)
