I picked up the car Friday night, 1989 560SEC, 208K miles.
I have maintenance records from 1996; turns out the timing chain and valve job was done at about 165K miles. Yay!!!
The car has 20" Asanti rims, Pirelli tires; not sure if this is good for this car? Any performance issues with larger wheels? I talked to a guy with a 1990, he said most people don't go over 18" with the wheels.
It does run a little rough, has a bit of a "shudder" when accelerating. Doesn't feel quite as quick/responsive as a V8 should. I'm thinking maybe the suspension may need some work too. Don't get me wrong, this does drive real nice, it just needs some work and maybe a little TLC, After all, it is an '89.
