Looks like it has some rust issues around the rear window. Besides that great looking car.

Very nice love the period wheels and AMG gauge cluster. Price seems pretty good if it doesn't need to much, just don't expect SEC perfection for $5k.

If that's a Euro car it will probably go pretty good to, I think they were good for 300hp.

Full on Euro spec, pretty dang nice. Think that car might even make Jim B blush.

I don't see the rust around the rear window but I haven't scrutinized them. Looks very nice - love the euro instrument cluster, those seem to be hard to come by. Note that it has a 560SEC badge on the back...hmm....

It has the Trip computer . That was a rare option even in Europe.

Odd that it doesn't have the aerial mast up/down button though.....

It's a very rare Gen II 500SEC. Pretty car and looks stunning aside from the rust under the rear window.

If i owned it, I would ask for more
