I just paid $799 for a valve seal replacement, 6 hours labor.

Dash board covers can be had from Performance Auto. Many 560 parts available online for reasonable money - a new dash, a new center console, a/c compressors, etc.

My 560SEL (1989) has been a great ride, even at 163k on the clock when I got her. Check with the PO for a full service history, so you know what's been done and not done.

If you do a search on 560SEL or w116, you'll find plenty of info on projected repairs, issues, etc.
