Probably the nicest all-original 560SEC for sale in the country today, and I do not make that statement lightly.
The car was kept in climate-controlled storage and exercised regularly over the years. All records are included in both paper form and in the stamped MB maintenance booklet. Car has never been hit or painted, all VIN# stickers in place.
Exterior condition is 94/95 on 100 point scale. A couple of surface scratches near rear license plate, one scratch on c-pillar, a couple of door dings, one tiny chip on left side (smaller than pinhead), and small scuff on left side of front bumper. Most of those items can be detailed out. Rest of exterior is immaculate. Brilliant silver paint is original and perfect and has excellent gloss. Lower cladding perfect. Glass is perfect, zero rear window delamination. Chrome trim is perfect, no water stains or other marks like on most SECs, even mint ones. Rubber trim is perfect, glossy black, no rot, seals perfectly to windows. Even original rubber headlight wiper blades show zero wear.
Interior appears new as if no one ever sat in the car. All items are perfect and unmarked, including wood trim, dash, plastic trim, leather, seat pading, carpets, and headliner. The car has not even been detailed yet, and still looks like it's new.
Mechanically the car is perfect and passed a pre-purchase dealer inspection with flying colors. HVAC system operates as new. All control lighting is bright and working properly, cluster needles and markings are bright orange and unfaded. Original radio and antenna perfect. Seat motors, heaters, windows, locks, and sunroof all perfect and like new.
Engine is strong and smooth. Transmission very smooth and eager to downshift. Suspension, including rear hydraulics, are as-new. Steering and brakes excellent. No leaks. Tires (MXV4's) are excellent. Spare/tools/jack/first-aid/touch-up all present and perfect.
The car does NOT ride and drive like a mint low-mile used SEC. She rides and drives like a NEW zero-mile SEC. It's hard to describe the difference, but it's noticeable. There are no squeaks, thumps, rattles, or anything else. Silky smooth and quiet, very smooth over bumps and rough surfaces, excellent at high speeds. The bushings, shocks, etc. are all so well kept and near-new that the car feels like it just left the showroom.
With a simple detailing, you'll most likely win any MBCA event you enter...the car is a time-capsule, and is a better driver than cars with lower miles in similar cosmetic condition. I'll stop now, but it's hard to overstate how nice this car really is.
I know if I am patient this is a $25K car......but will consider best offer over $20K for quick cash sale.
Email me (Bruce) at brucem105_AT_comcast.net or call area code (eight five six), 912 2600 for more details.
This is the nicest SEC you'll ever see outside of Benz's museum in Germany. Sorry for the lousy pictures, interior was taken at night! These pics were also taken without the car being washed or detailed in any way. But I will get better ones posted.
